I miss old fandom. Fanfics aside-and they're fun, not denying that-I loved talking to people. Books, music, art, gardening, social issues raised in the fiction we played with. Movies. I leaned on the community heavily because I'm so awkward & isolated & it made a big difference. Trying to fill the gap that the splintering has left behind is difficult. Too many social media platforms!

I don't watch tv...haven't had a tv in decades. What spare time I have, I used to read, listen to music...ah, lately, my time has been absorbed by twitter. It's kind of like writing drabbles, even better since they've expanded to 280 characters. :D

I know what you mean about the job. I've finally worked my way up the pay scale to something decent. Not rolling in it, but I don't have to struggle from month to month, & I have benefits. But since transferring to SC where my company is expanding (through the Carolinas & into Virginia), it's been hellish. We're growing too fast to keep up & frankly, the locals mostly don't want to work this hard, so they leave. We hire a new batch, get them trained, they leave, etc. But I like living indoors, so I gird my loins & go forth.

I'm trying to remember the last movie I watched. Um. Sing? Very cute. I don't like seeing new movies. I like seeing movies I'm familiar with, so it's hard to watch a new one; but once I do, if I like it, I can watch it any number of times. I think The Hit Man's Bodyguard was the last live action movie I saw. I liked it, but you have to like borderline cheesy violent foulmouthed movies. Which I apparently do. #lmao

Don't feel like you have to post fic! You & nilly are among some of the best fanfic writers I've encountered; but you have more than that to offer. Say hi for me!
