ha, it's August, really?

Status Update: I'm alive!

The bar exam . . . went, and is over (which is the really important thing). Now I'm slowly getting used to being a non-student who doesn't have to take exams, and who is also a marginally pleasant person to be around. (Current project: remembering how not to pick apart every sentence said to me by someone else because, hey, it isn't a multiple choice question with a trick hidden somewhere in the depths of its syntax, Mom really just wants to know if I want to go shopping with her.)

I'm staying at my parents' house for a few days and catching up with them and some local friends, then headed back up north to pack up my apartment (and work on my mcshep_match story -- check this space next week for pleas for betaing!) and get ready to move to the DC metro area (which winkingstar and I plan to quite thoroughly conquer, once she gets back from gallivanting around Europe).

Mostly, I'm looking forward to catching up on all of the fun things and life-having that was going on while I've been in seclusion. Links to greatness are always appreciated, as are any suggestions for how to deal with my impending first September in twenty years that won't involve going to school.

What? You think I'm coming back from Europe? I like it over here! Sooooo much awesomer than the States.

Happy birthday! :D

I hope that you have a safe and lovely birthday today! Glad to hear that you are alive and that exams are over. :) Hopefully you have time to celebrate! \o/ *throws confetti*

A little drawing for you here. <3

Yay on the bar being over and done with!

Sneeeerk. I am amused. Good luck on that (And the answer for your mother: No! Unless it's for groceries or books, in which case the answer is yes.)

Oh, don't forget to give me your new address at some point *needs to finish the present* *thinks present-y thoughts* *wonders if the present will spontaneously finish assembling itself*

Sounds like you've got good times ahead of you :), yay for adding in more of life's fun! But good luck on figuring out how to drag winkingstar back from Germany.

Hmm, links to awesomeness.... I've got nothing on a not-me front. On a me front, I've been Miss Spammy-Pants lately, but I'm not sure any of it was actually aweseom. I've written [at least one thing] since you last had time to read things, and currently have about ten thousand bunnies which all would quite like to come out to play (not that I have the bleeping time right at this minute *grrrr*). I've been [reccing] things too.

any suggestions for how to deal with my impending first September in twenty years that won't involve going to school.
Sleep in! Buy crayons and paper and hold a 'lets regress to primary school' party. Build a Lego fortress. Read comic books. Have ice cream for breakfast.
