happy holidays?

Life sucks, I totaled a car yesterday (I'm fine, insurance is covering everything, not even a driving citation, I don't want to talk about it, I am never driving in the week before Christmas ever again), I managed to screw up my yuletide upload bad enough that it requires personal attention from the coders to figure out how I broke the archive, and I'm pretty sure they're not going to get back to me about interviewing for that job I really wanted.

Pretty much the only thing that's bringing joy into my life right now is the story I'm writing. Luckily, there is lots and lots of joy left in the story I'm writing! Also all sorts of people who I had given up on ever being lured to Dreamwidth are finally talking about coming over here. Never say schadenfreude doesn't make life better!

People are posting lists of communities they follow on DW, so here is my list, trimmed of ones that are private communities belonging to one person, or ones that never post:

ETA: Oh! Another happy thing! [personal profile] siegeofangels, your yarn scraps came! They are beautiful! And there were tentacles (not the sexy kind), which is exactly what I needed.

ETA2: I got the interview! I should have known that "we will notify you on the 21st at the latest" meant "we will start notifying people an hour before close of business on the 21st" - it is a gov't job. :P And my yuletide is in, all non-borked and stuff! And I'm within a gnat's crotchet of having a treat up! Car is still totaled though.
