I ain't dead! Just... sick. And as I am a crazy cat-lady without the cats, going out for three birthdays in the space of a week (my own, Dave's sister's, and my Dad's,) would be enough socializing to overwhelm me a bit when healthy. Not that I'm ever really healthy, but in the middle of the week my ears got stopped up and I was too dizzy to walk without reeling around, and then by the weekend, about the time that was clearing up, I started having another one of those weird attacks in my stomach that started all this months-long stomach ailment in the first place, so, yeah. Retreat-into-shell mode!

Interesting note: One of Dave's sisters shares my name (albeit spelled slightly differently), and Dave's other sister has a new boyfriend named Dave. Creepy zone!

By the way, guys, decided to leave the porn_tree challenge open a bit longer, until the 15th. Last chance to get in prompts or fics!

UNRELATED TO ANYTHING, I have a question! Some of you guys who also crosspost from DW to LJ have these little "x comments on dreamwidth" thingies at the bottom of your posts. How do you get that? n/m, figured it out. Although now that I need to fiddle with the code until it suits me, my crossposts aren't showing up on LJ and the LJ in general is moving like a snail. Seriously, why am I still throwing money at them?

And on the subject of Dreamwidth, I apparently have 6 invite codes. Comment with your email if you want one!

eta: Crossposting apparently working again, and unexpectedly it would seem that if you edit a past post it sticks the footer on there... Neat!
