here I am again

[deird1]

It really is depressing when almost an entire year's worth of entries fit onto the front page of my DW.

I haven't posted much lately, for several reasons:
1) The kidlets leave little time for posting things.
2) The kidlets leave little time for tv watching, which used to be the main thing I posted about.
3) DW has been relatively quiet, which was depressing.
4) I've been camping out over at Reddit.
5) My fanfic brain has been eaten up by playing RPGs. I can't usually be creative in two directions at once.

I will hereby resolve to post more, and never again to end up with less than 20 entries in a single year (for crying out loud, what was I doing?).

In lieu of new content, I am at least reposting very old meta over at buffyversemeta.


Meanwhile, for those of you who are interested, here's a random life update:
- two kids, now 2 years old and 5 months old
- much crochet
- back in Australia, doing the stay-at-home-mum thing
- roleplaying with friends (who also have kids... tricky to organise...)
- watching Elementary, Castle, and Murdoch Mysteries, rewatching Buffy, Farscape, and Avatar, and desperately waiting for The Expanse and The Crown to come out on dvd
- hoping to find time to learn how to sew
- still studying Latin

Hey, being a full-time mum of a toddler and a baby can be very involving, and take up a lot of brainspace that might otherwise be producing fanfic. It's the way things go.

I would say learning how to sew is easy, but...I learned it as a child watching my mother sew. I guess it also depends what you want out of sewing: making clothes, making textile works? Mending? Embroidery? refitting?

See, currently, I can thread my sewing machine, sew straight lines, and technically use a pattern (although I've only done that once, twenty years ago). So I can do some basic repairs, as long as they don't involve anything complicated, like tshirt fabric.

I'd like to be able to make dress-ups for my kids, and possibly some basic clothes.

I have been catching up with Elementary too. Jsut acquired season 4. It is a good thing to have, I'm finding.

It's so fun! I need to write a post on all the Holmeses that I've watched, and why I like Elementary's one.

DW has been relatively quiet

I wonder if the fuss over the Great Livejournal Apocalypse will start a DW renaissance.

Could you add my DW account to your access list, please? You've got me-with-LJ-OpenID and me-with-Blogspot-OpenID on there, but not Dreamwidth proper.

(This post brought to you by spending forty minutes trying to hunt down an old post of yours I was thinking about, only to realise the account I was logged into wasn't one with friends-lock access, and I almost certainly went right by the post while it was invisible. Possibly multiple times. *headdesk*)

(I originally explained here which post and why, but it occurred to me it might be rude to discuss a locked post in an unlocked comment section.)

That would be nice. *is hopeful*

Very frustrating! You have been added. (And that post is here, I believe.)

Huh. I got the "deird1 has granted you access to their journal" notification, but the post you linked is still giving me "you do not have permission to view this content" errors.

Oops, sorry! Have added you to my "secure" filter. Forgot about that bit.
