home again

Three weeks is a long time to be gone, me thinks. Unless you're leaving and never coming back. Which would have been fine with me.

My body thinks it's Sunday afternoon, and it's time to be doing things, but it's Saturday evening I've been awake for... too many hours to count.

I'm sure there's other stuff to be done (like laundry), but I'm gonna type some fic and scan LJs while MrIris sleeps. I'm sure I missed TONS (and OMG, how I missed you all! I am so completely and utterly addicted to the internet and my community of friends here) so if there's something important, link me. Please?

*offers a TimTam*

No? Not good enough?

Pics of the trip?

When I get 'em off MrI's laptop, my friends. :)


ETA: While I'm thinking about it, have any of you read:

Double Talk: The Erotics of Male Literary Collaboration (W. Koestenbaum)
Performing Glam Rock: Gender and Theatricality in Popular Music (P. Auslander)
Gender in Performance: The Presentation of Difference in the Performing Arts (L. Senelick)

and feel confident in letting me know if they're readable and understandable for a reader whose entire exposure to gender and cultural studies has grown out of fandom?

Just so I'm not totally bogged down because I don't understand theories everybody in those fields is obviously already aware of, but which were not priorities when I was an undergraduate science major.

omg, three weeks is the longest time EVER and if you ever leave me for that long again I will CRY! Like, big buckets of tears, seriously!!

anything you've missed in relation to me and my fandomtype obsessions, I'm sure you'll catch up on in txt messages over the next week or so.

But I do have a new LJ friend. jezzabe. She drew me in with felt like a lifetime (jon/spencer) and then wrote felt so good as a companion fic (it's pete/brendon) and she's pretty damn awesome & I want to steal her Brendon. There are all kinds of picspams and such that I've been drooling over, and awesome fics, but I don't know which have accumulated since you left, so I'll have to pull you together a bunch of links to email you and you can look over them after you get caught up on everything else. Yes?

Pics, please. In return, I offer fic: Blue Piccadilly. I even wrote it myself. Shocking, I know.

Sounds like you had a great time, at least when you were visiting darling B. :D

Welcome back.

What is a TimTam? The town I work for has a Tim Tam Way, and it's such a silly-sounding name, it's been driving me crazy.

Tim Tams are cookies, really popular cookies. Sort of the Australia equivalent of Oreos in terms of popularity, I assume, given their product placement at the market. They've got a chocolate coating and a wafer inside and some filling also, which varies depending on which type you buy. You might be able to find them at a Cost Plus World Market or other "exotic" food shop marked as "Arnott's", the manufacturer's name.
