Insomnia Post!

You know you love them.

Okay, lemme just say: I've been not posting for a bit and not commenting very much, and kind of hanging back where fandom is concerned, not for any specific reason, just 'cause I do that sometimes. And I've been trying to work through RL crap and it's not very pleasant. So then I go and do this post asking for help about grad school and for some reason because I'm stupid I doubt anyone on my flist can help me, and then I figure I've been a ghost so long people won't even remember who I am anyway. And then . . . you all respond and you give me all these names for people to ask and you give me good advice and you talk to me on AIM and you talk to your English prof parents and you do big long comments with so much I didn't know, and my heart grew three sizes. Again, just like it did with that article about the pink shirts.

Thanks, guys. Thanks so much. I should've known I can count on you. Oh, and just for being so awesome, I am now going to keep you updated on my grad school applying process. I know you all were just dying to hear about it. Maybe that will help me stay on track, anyway.

Oh, and the only thing second best to remembering why you love your flist and fandom and the wonderful world of online community with the passion of a thousand fiery suns? Is when someone asks to translate something you've written, and then does. It puffs me with pride, even if all the characters look like question marks on my computer (how do I change that?)

And now we come to the insomnia part of our program!
