OMG HIATUS!!!

[lyl_devil]

As some of you may have noticed (or not - whatever) I haven't been around LJ much. This, for once, is not due to me sucking (as it normally is), but because school (+ TA + work) is kicking my ass.

Kicking. My. Ass!!

The days need to be twice as long, damnit! I would list the gazillion things I have to do in the next few weeks, but frankly, it's too depressing and panic-inducing.

I'm currently living off of pasta, hash browns and cheese, because by the time I get around to going home each night, the grocery stores have closed, and that is all I have in my kitchen. Don't ask about the state of my laundry. Please.

Therefore, I'm taking a break from LJ and fandom for a few weeks while the world tries to crush my soul. I'll still be reading stuff every now and then, but I won't be commenting or posting until I can crawl out from under the undending mass of work that's trying to break me. However, I am keeping a list, so don't be surprised if you get a comment from me in about 3 weeks or so, on something you posted a month ago.

I am still writing the occasional 1000 word drabble-thing, but I can't comment on the coherency of something written at 3am in the throes of sleep deprivation and caffeine intoxication. (I need the occasional break - shut up!).

Thus, I leave, to have my will to live broken by the 35 mid-terms I have to mark by tomorrow.

Kill me now,
kthxbye

So sorry that life is kicking your ass right now :-(

And yes, I know I still have a beta to do for you, although it sounds like it might not be high on your list of priorities at the moment. I'll try to get to it this week, though, so that it'll be ready when you come back to the LJ world.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that things get easier for you SOON.

So...I'm back...ish. Life is calmer, though not noticeably better. Though, I have finally gotten around to that pesky grocery shopping thing.

Food is nice.

So is a clean apartment, but that's for this weekend. Maybe.

:)

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, too (about the clean apartment). no need to rush these things.

I'm glad that things are calmer for you. :-)

And yes, I'm still not done with that beta. I suck. But I *have* been writing, so maybe that's some consolation?

Depends...what have you been writing? Because my Willow/Spike AU has been stalled in the middle of a conversation since May, but I can probably be tempted to just move on to the next scene. ::hopeful eyes::

[kallie-kat.livejournal.com]

LOL! Well, mostly I've been writing Angels and Demons with Femail, but i've had an idea for a new Torchwood genfic that I'd like to get started on, and I've promised either a Willow/Angel or Willow/Spike to someone else, so I'm going to try to work on that this weekend.

So, get back to work on your Willow/Spike AU, pretty please ::hopeful eyes::

I feel your pain. Good luck with the catch up!

This is how fried my brain is...I looked at your icon and went 'cool. the influenza virus'! doh!

I need to not be in school for about a week. :)

I know that RL can really be a pain. I'm sorry to hear that things are so hectic and I hope that you get caught up soon.

[lyl-devil.livejournal.com]

Thanks. This is the first time in years I've ever been this busy - I'm not used to it any more. ::sigh::

Well, hopefully once you are thru with this patch, things will go back to what they were before and you won't have so much to deal with.
