Was hast du vor für NaNoWriMo?

Ich habe ein Freischreiben für meine projektiert Weltraumoper vor!

[thislizard]

gonna learn to VID

I’m still noodling on German but trying to figure out the ways I wanna do that, which... *waves hands*

and I might be doing NaNo for the first time since high school, so, we’ll see how that goes.

@nimblermortal @fireandwonder hallo, wieder lerne ich Deutsch! Ich habe auf Duo praktizieren sein und jetzt lese ich auch Ein Drache in der Schultasche, mit mein Worterbuch. Habt ihr Voschläge für mich? Oder mögtet ihr plaudern?

[nimblermortal]

Ja, gerne!

@hello-delicious-tea mochte auch ein Sprachpartner, zumindest mochte sie ein das letzte Mal, dass ich fragte. Und @icryyoumercy hat Deutsch als Muttersprache, obwohl es Schweizerdeutsch ist und nicht Hochdeutsch - aber vielleicht wurde er auch gerne auf Deutsch mit Dir reden?

Ich meine, Du mochtest “Ich habe auf Duo geübt” (üben = praktizieren) schreiben. Und ich würde auch Serafina auf Deutsch vorschlagen, da ich es zuerst so las - einfach, macht Spaß, Mathedrachen. MATHEDRACHEN!

Wenn Du auch Pillowfort benützt (konjugation?), denn gibt’s auch da eine deutschsprachige Kommunität.

[thislizard]

Ach, ja, ich habe auf Duo geübt! Danke. Ich würde gern Serafina auf Deutsch lesen. Mathedrachen!!

Ich habe ein Pillowfortkonto (?) geschaffen, aber nutze ich es nicht. Vielleicht die deutschsprachige Kommunität wird sich ändern.

For my 3D production class I had to create a three shot short that was a remake of an existing movie scene- with muppets. I ran out of time to do the particle water effects, but this is basically Pacific Rim anyway.

reading more here than before, tho still infrequently. *waves from lurker corner*

[thislizard]

here is a thing I need to understand: I am enough

[thislizard]

still not really here. still doing well! still experimenting my way toward a more ideal life. sometimes having a lot of emotions, sometimes it’s overwhelming, but they don’t consist wholly of “OH GOD AM I GONNA HAVE GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT” so that’s pleasant.

[nabile-deactivated20190715]

die bitch

[thislizard]

in honor of turning 27 here is a list of 27 things I am glad about or grateful for over the past year

finishing my goddamn master’s degree

visiting the Cloisters for the first time

the stream by my old apartment

solidarity from my (previous) library director

the winter solstice and this year’s party for it

tiny private twitter

having each other’s backs w/ my counterpart at old job

getting all the way to the in-person interview round for That One Job

(and, being perfectly honest, not getting That One Job)

the song “The Greatest” by Sia (which I managed to inextricably associate with job hunting such that it gave me adrenaline rushes for months, but it fuckin’ got me through, ok)

the guy at the suit store who sold me three bowties for $15, they were on sale but I’m pretty sure they weren’t supposed to be that much on sale

my sister <3

my rainbow octopus

my writergroup!

getting good at taking selfies that I feel good about

the gay bar in Denver that hosted the glbt librarian social

faaaaamily

joining a new internet community

the public library for loaning me so many DVDs when I needed them

my friends having their wedding ceremony that was 100% them and also 100% adorable

jigsaw puzzles

my New Orleans trip

getting just the right apartment

my friends giving me moving boxes so I didn’t have to buy any

the friend who helped me move in like 95 degree heat

the Steven Universe poster that was being sold for two dollars for some unknowable reason at the local comics-and-games store

aaaaand most recently, my friends who came out to visit me in my new locale for my birthday!! <3_<3

could have gone on but that’s the exercise! here’s to even more good things this next year.

[crossroadswrite]

concept: a whole fic where one of the characters is a food blogger and it’s formatted like online recipes

 the whole story is told in through the prologues before you actually get to the recipe, so you’ll have someone telling you about their wild night or meet cute or whatever else and then out of nowhere go anyway here’s some brownies

[thislizard]

So Much Cooking by Naomi Kritzer is baaasically this and it’s a delight

[thislizard]

still mostly not here. new job is cool but overwhelming at times, but I think all new jobs are like that? anyway, I’m around on the internet in other spaces but trying out getting into habits other than tumblr as all my life changes percolate through.

might be in touch with some of you who wanted to be German conversation partners later, since that’s a thing I will have time for now!
