Thev's weekend goings-on, thus far

[thrihyrne]

After sleeping in (because I couldn't sleep last night and ended up re-watching BSG "Razor" at around 1:30 a.m.), I made coffee, got cleaned up (because I'd gone to the gym last night and did the hot tub/sauna/steam room trio and was all sweated out), and packed my workout stuff in anticipation of going to free yoga followed by an actual workout at the gym. No free yoga! :( The class was trumped by a workshop. So I walked in the chilly rain to a nearby consignment store hoping to find some pants. My figure just isn't well-suited for the shape of pants in their current trends, and/or I'm inbetween conventional sizes. I tried on 8 pair in two different sizes and none of them worked. So off to the gym I went: this is my trial membership gym number three since January, this one an under-5-minute walk from the house. It's also the most expensive. *sigh* Their pool is great in that it's salt water, not chlorinated. I managed to find my goggles from my lap swimming days, and asked the gent at the counter how many laps a mile would be. Thirty-six. So that's what I did. After the gym time, I got my car filled up so I wouldn't be worried going to church tomorrow morning, and went to the grocery store. Wheeeeeee. Made another scrumptious spinach salad with a perfectly ripe avocado, black olives, blue cheese crumbles, almonds, craisins, carrots and blue cheese dressing. Yum!! The rest of today will (WILL) be spent writing up this Ron/Draco which is eating my brain. I feel badly for poor Ron; once again I'm torturing a character I love. And how did it get to be almost 9,000 words already, and I'm probably at about the halfway point? Speaking of R/D, the comm that I'm writing this for, rd_challenge, has re-opened signups for a few days. I know there are several R/D people on my flist, and while many of you have moved on to more active pairings and fandoms, if you wanted a nudge to write a bit more R/D, feel free!

A last bit 'o pimpage before I disappear into a very non-Magic Immunity R/D story, there are still three days (and some, depending on where you live) until April, which means there are a few days to come up with a contribution for the Marvellous Month of March over at Remus/Ron slash.

I posted my Yuletide entry (His Dark Materials fandom that you so kindly beta'ed!) at a
HDM fanfiction comm here on LJ that I've been a member of for ages but don't pay much attention to because there are so few people who write HDM fanfic. Anyway, I posted it and received this as the only comment (thus far): How does Lyra know the Knife's broken?
It royally pissed me off this morning, but with some time, I'm now going to write a slightly higher road retort about perhaps supporting people contributing to the comm and then prove my evidence canonically. Just asshattery. At least when I got the non-comment at raythoo (or the person commented about the canon, nothing at all about my actual story) s/he didn't come across as totally rude. I'm having a lot of "Whatever" moments of late.

I know how that feels. I've had comments in the past like that. I find it's best to assume that rudeness isn't meant (even if it was) and to realize that one can't hear intonation or other facial cues on-line, so perhaps she really wanted to know. *pets you*
