Bet you thought you'd seen the last of me.*

And here is an actual proper post. *waves* Not dead. Not much has changed, either.

Last you heard, I was slowly making my way through a research proposal. I wrote a fuckton in November, all the way to some twelve or thirteen pages, which was stupid considering the thing isn't actually a proposal and more a statement of interest and only has to be like two to three pages. (November was pretty productive. Mainly because we have friends and family fly over to visit and I'd be left alone in the house while everyone went galavanting around.)

Anyway. I've got it down to that, more or less, except for the methods, which I'm working on, and the aims and objectives which I'm pretty sure I done fucked up. But. Almost done. I would've been done sooner but I lost half of December to the flu and the other half to the holidays. But now it's January and the day my folks are going to be leaving the country is kinda sorta close (in that it's not even half a year away I think) and I need to get my shit together.

In other news, I've got a friend who is actually in the same country as I am, and we go out for dinners and movies and things, and that's nice.

In other, other news, I'm writing again, which is nice. Mostly self-indulgent crap, but I like it. I might even share it. Maybe.

And that's basically it. Still truckin', basically.

*waves pompoms right back at you* Thank you!

Woohoo not dead! I am too! I think! OH SHIT...

Keep on trucking with that research proposal. I expect to see you in New Zealand when I arrive. ;-)

Feel free to share your self-indulgences! I should go back to posting writing stuff too. And travelogues. But we all know how well that goes...

Hooray for not being dead! I hope you've managed to get into the swing of things at work and you're being awesome and productive.

I am currently trucking away. Or maybe mini-vanning. And, dude, if we miss each other in New Zealand, I will be Upset. With a capital U. (How have you not been sent to wander around the streets of Rome for a conference, though? That's just criminal. I know all the good ice cream places.)

I wrote so much last year (this massive thing with seschat that just will not die and it's awesome) and now these self-indulgent things are also not dying and I'm keysmashing a few hundred or thousand words a week (and some of those words aren't even half bad!) that yes, sharing will have to happen.

I promise to poke you occasionally to remind you to post writing things. Because I love your writing things.

I am seriously upset that Rome doesn't invite us for conferences. Sure, the plus side is that these things are held in usually far-reaching or uncommon locales, which is cool. But still, Rome. That would be convenient and funky.

It will be tremendously awesome if we are in New Zealand simultaneously. The first drink is on me! The fifth drink may be literally on me. Wheeeeeeeeeglub.
