Well, I've done seven, yes SEVEN years here at BC! Whoda thunk? I've penned a few decent stories, read a lot of damned fine ones, and made the odd enemy or a dozen or so. In that same time I've also had open heart surgery as well as a worsening of my Cystic Fibrosis and depression. On the bright side, I've made some wonderful friends, for which I have reason to be extremely grateful. Still got a lot of stuff at least half-finished that I'd love to get wrapped up before I make my final post.

Monday had to be one of the worst days of my life. I live in Boston and attend the Marathon every year to support the runners. This year was special to me as my friend was to run in the race. My friend had called me at 2:20 telling me he just passed mile marker 19 and would call again when he was a mile out.

Everything looks to be running now. I put in a direct link that I know had been corrupted earlier (Fate and the Iron Tiger, part 4), and it came up correctly.

Thanks for all of the hard work!

Does anyone know why FM's down? Just curious....... Taarpa

I was rereading Julie O, and saw that Robert Arnold edited/proofed many of her stories. I miss him so much, he touched my life is so many ways. That started me thinking of others who are not with us any more, and I realized I could have been one too. I still have my moments of doubt and suicidial thoughts, and wonder if I will always be haunted by that siren call.

I have so much to be thankful for ... my life is slowly getting back into order and my sunshine filled days far out weigh my demon plague nights.

Is it always like this? I need someone cuddle with.

I'm supposed to be working on a paper for school about the evolution of RISC, pipelining, cache and virtual memory for my Computer Architecture course. Instead, I'm semi-crossposting the following from my main blog because I realize it's been a while since I wrote here, and the paper is boring; I'm a software girl, hardware gets in the way :P. Here's the post, and I'll go back to pretending to write this paper now. :)

I'm stunned. I the last week, I've gone from a bit over 1000 kudos to over 1400.

Yeah, I posted 5 stories/chapters, but even so. That first thousand took years.

Still seems unreal though.

Just so you are all in the picture i thought i'd let you know the current state of play.

Looking for fairly old story...youngest son protected from conquering neighbor who killed his father and brother. Protection by palace wizard changing him into youngest daughter.
