I am still alive!
I know it has been a very long time since I've posted. I find I do not think often of LJ anymore, instead spending most of my time on Tumblr and LJ and Facebook. As this is a public entry, if you wish for any of my other accounts, leave a reply and I'll message you my tumblr and Facebook names privately.

I recently passed my 33rd birthday. I busy myself most frequently with activism work, and staying home and writing and reading. I've developed quite a few chronic illnesses and have become an impassioned user of "spoon theory."

I have three cats now, Ares and Athena, a brother and sister I adopted a few years ago, and a new baby, Loki, who's less than a year old.

I still write some fanfiction, under a different penname now thanks to fandom wank affecting my old one.

I endure. I am not miserable, though my life is not blissful either. I am content.

I'd love to hear from any of you who are still around

I'm not dead, promise

I just spend all my time on Tumblr instead of LJ nowadays. Also, I changed my penname/alias on the Internet.

So, yesterday sucked.
With all the painful news stories I've read in the past 24 hours, I just wanted to pop on here and tell you all I love you. I'm still reeling, but I'm here to talk if anyone wants to talk about it.

Shala, Ice_Whisper, you okay?

Just want to make sure my friends in the Boston area are okay.

30?
So it's like my birthday or something. Okay. Groovy. Whatever. 30 years old today or something like that. Okay. Cool.

I like traffic lights.

You may have noticed, but I'm not really here much any more.

I'm still on tumblr and livejournal and youtube and AO3 and everywhere else, I just have an alternate internet identity, and I also lurk a lot. I'm on tumblr a LOT actually. And I still go to TTH a lot.


Unfortunately there's no real way to announce my alternate screenname to all my casual acquaintances and readers without also announcing it to the bullies and the people who send me hate. Some of them already know, of course, but I'd like to avoid another flood of "go kill yourself" mail if possible.


If you contact me privately I'll let you know where you can find me now.


I am really sorry about all the fics I will probably never finish. Maybe someday?

I am beyond overwhelmed and broken right now. I'm stressed out and feeling abandoned.

For those of you who know Josh
He's currently in the psych ward at Strong Memorial. He's allowed visitors, and visiting hours are from 3-4 and from 6-8 on weekdays. We don't know how long he's going to be there.

The following is triggery for suicidal referencesCollapse )

Why I haven't updated my WIPs in a very long time.
I got a question on my tumblr asking why my WIPs hadn't been updated in a long time, and I figured I'd share the information here, since a lot of people who like my stories follow me here. Here's the answer:

Well, there are a few reasons. I haven't abandoned any of my WIPs, but I have a lot of writer's block. I know where most of them are going, more or less, but I can't seem to get them there.

The other main reason has to do with my state of mind. In the past year, I have received a large number of "Go kill yourself" asks and anonymous comments on my stories. I've also received death threats. I've been torn down and told I'm a bad person, I'm a bad writer, I'm a bad mod. Now, I can take constructive criticism, I really can, but there is a huge difference between constructive criticism and, "This story is a stain on fandom. If you write another chapter I will hunt you down and kill you." I can handle the first, but there's only so much abuse that a person can take before they're ready to give up.

I haven't stopped writing entirely, I've been writing anonymously a little (no, I won't share what Anon fills I've done) and I've been trying to work on some original work.

I don't want to give up on writing entirely, because I don't want to let them win, but there's only so much abuse I can take. I do have a sockpuppet penname, but I'm not sharing that information, except with people whom I trust who ask me privately.

I'm sorry that I've gone so long without updating my WIPs. I really am trying, I know where the majority of them are going, I'm just having a hard time getting them there.

Ugh

I have errands I need to run that require a car, but am on painkillers that say "do not operate a motor vehicle."

I think this afternoon I should be able to manage on just Tylenol long enough to go to the bank.

A surprising thing that happened.

I've have problems with my mom for years, and lately Ive been trying to avoid her to avoid confrontation. I just called her up and screamed at her for ten minutes, and instead of getting angry she thanked me for finally communicating with her and opening a dialogue, and now she's gonna help me with my student loan problems and we're gonna work on some of the issues between us.

I wish I knew what was going on in my own life, and where I was gonna be in six months time.
