It strikes me that since I'm friending people, I probably should have some material in this journal. So here's a little bit of an introduction to what I'm doing here -- the rest you can get by reading my info page.
I joined journalfen a few years ago, back when free accounts were more readily available, in order to follow fandom_wank. Whatever one might say about it, f_w has a very diverse and entertaining following, and it's almost always fun to read. (Possibly a bit less so lately, with all the SRS BIZNESS, but I don't tend to mind that very much.)
I'm becoming more active on JF partly because of all the kerfluffle on LJ, but mostly because it seemed like a good time to branch out. I'm trying to increase my opportunities and motivation to write (and I mean write anything), and I think this can only help.
So, if you're friending me back, welcome, and I'll try very hard to give you something interesting to read, at least now and then!

| Weekend in Virginia |
[10 Aug 2007|05:01pm] |
Got out of work early today (yay!) and have just finished packing up a few things. The mister and I are heading up to visit his family in Newport News for the weekend. His two brothers and their wives are stationed at/living near the Air Force base up there (although one of my sisters-in-law is in Iraq right now, and I'll be missing her!), and his parents will be up for the weekend, too. One thing is guaranteed: there will probably be a lot of good food and a fair bit of ambling about a mall or outlet stores. I'm hoping there will be some interest in seeing Stardust -- one niece is still home from college for the summer, and I'm pretty sure she'd want to see that -- 'cause I love opening weekends. (This is because I'm crazy.)
Current reading: The Grey King, Susan Cooper
Current knitting: Ravenclaw scarf (Azkaban movie style). I've gotten hung up on figuring out how best to carry a color up the side, which has slowed me down a bit, but I'm hoping to get a bit more done this weekend.
