Hey folks (whoever still comes here, anyway)

bdwilson 's posts about moving/reorganizing all her LJs (holy crap, BD!) made me think about the tangled freaking mess that is my LJ. I post everything here and it's a total schmoz. Rat stuff, writing stuff, RP blogs, fandom stuff, life stuff... it's just a total mess.

So I'm moving and reorganizing. I found Wordpress.com this week and I'm AMAZED by the coolness of having ONE username and as many separate sub-blogs as I want under ONE dashboard, instead of needing to log in/out of a bunch of usernames to post things.

http://feycat.wordpress.com/ - that's where you'll find most of me. The main blog is the one about my actual writing. The links on the side is where you'll find my RP blogs and my rattery stuff. Some of the blogs are still being copied over, but the rattery one and Tabi's blogs (all 160 entries, in order!) are up and functioning.

I will probably still use this Lj to post F-locked rants and such about general life, and reply to memes. I'll also be using it to keep track of ya'll on my friend's page, since Wordpress doesn't have that sort of thing that I can find. At some point I'll figure out RSS feeds and maybe that'll change. But I probably won't be cross-posting from the Wordpress journals to here.

Come play LOTRO, try it out again for the weekend! We miss you guys!!

*giggles*

(( Catchup edition! I will spare my flist the spamming that my guildmates got though, and post all the catchup entries in one post.))

Russian Cinnamons - THIS is the PERFECT COLOR I've been trying to get for FIVE YEARS, folks!! <3

Via shosen , as usual!

( Cut to save my flist )

Here's Beware, due on the 10th. Those of you who play City of Heroes may recognize the inspiration for my little black rat martial arts stalker >.>



And Song's wee ones are growing fur. See that dark slash between the eyes of the middle rat? That's a merle spot! We've got Pearl-merles in here!

This is possibly the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Thanks for pointing me at it, uzil !

Here is the promised picture of Song's jellybeans...


Also I noticed the other morning while trying to wake up enough to answer the phone with a pitbull puppy standing on my chest and WANTING TO GO OUUUUT... Bailey's got a smiley emoticon on her shoulder! Seriously!



Texting and the internet are clearly too much a part of my life :P

Song is having her babies as we speak! Thank you, little rat, for putting me out of my misery and having your babies a day early!

She put on a FULL OZ yesterday. I really was worried!!

ETA: There's only 12, and they're not even giant monsters!! I guess she's just a big fatty :P

see more pwn and owned pictures

The NIRO show finally has a date (May 23rd) and a venue (INDOORS!) yay! I don't know what I'm going to be judging yet, but I think I will begin obsessively compiling lists of who I want to bring. After all, I know what I DIDN'T volunteer to judge, right?

Mmmm....

BVR-FSTR One Night of Song isn't due until the 28th, which is 5 days from now. That doesn't stop her from being nearly big enough to drop a litter right NOW. I know, I know, it's always freakout time when I have a pregnant girl, but... she's REALLY BIG.

( Like HUGE )
As my friend Dee says: she almost looks beyond "school bus" and entering "touring rock group with groupies!"

Eek!

You're Watership Down!

by Richard Adams

Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're
actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their
assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they
build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd
be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.


Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.

I think they mean "rats" on that last word. >.>

PS: BD it's hard for me to remember which of your journals posts these things! :P

Playing along with jimhines  ...

1 year ago ... I was still here, still unemployed and full of writer's block, except for the enormous ongoing stories of my characters in MMOs that scratched the itch for me. I was preparing for another rat show and making plans to run one of our own. BVR Hatshepsut was pregnant with the Jabberwocky litter. I was enthusiastic about Obama and pissed off about the continued illegality of gay marriage (and still am on both counts!!)

5 years ago ... I'd been published in Realms of Fantasy and Flytrap. None of my other short stories were accepted where I sent them, and I was working on my novel and not too interested in the short stories. I'd moved into the house where I am now, and my Siamese bloodline was coming along well, but I'd lost my Daruka line and the Russian Cinnamon line except for one buck I'd given to Wendy, who saved the line for me.

10 years ago ... I was still running a LARP and an Amber game. I was dating and living with Caesar. The Pack was still living in the giant house in the ghetto in Sigsbee, all 8 of us. We'd had 2 camping trips and 2 Packmases at this point. The house contained 12 cats, 3 dogs, and a cageful of rats in addition to all the people.

20 years ago ... I was in sixth grade, I'd gotten into John Ball Zoo School and was entraptured with it. I was just beginning to discover that I did not have the math and science chops to realize my lifelong dream of being a vet, though my love of animals was as strong as ever and I knew I wanted to take care of them. I met Jenny Ledford and began telling stories with her; the first stories I shared with other people. I found I really really liked the way other people liked my stories.

30 years ago ... I was three. My younger brother had just been born. By all accounts, I did not take this development in my life well. I was an only child with intellectual parents who'd been given a ton of attention, enrichment and love and the loud stranger horning in was not cool. I tried to convince everyone that he was a girl, because if I had to have a sibling I wanted a sister. Apparently I managed to trip up my grandmother and several aunts/uncles into calling the baby "she."

40 years ago ... I was not born yet.

- Describe me in one word... just one single word. Positive or negative.
- Leave your word in a comment before looking at what words others have used.
- Then post this meme to your own journal, if you feel like it.

I sent this to shosen  because it totally reminded me of her, but growing up in a family of "Code Monkies" and be married to one and friends with a bunch... I think this is possibly my favorite Johnathan Coulton song ever. Also the AMV is really well done.
