Sick again. *headdesk*

[mijan]

Okay, so this is somehow totally my fault, I'm sure.  And no, I'm not being sarcastic.

I know full well that I got an absolutely inadequate amount of sleep during Dragon*Con.  Was it worth it?  FUCK YES.  The things I saw, the people with whom I spoke, the things I got to experience - TOTALLY worth it.  And now it's time to pay the piper.

Body aches, muscle cramps, sore back, sore throat, stuffed up nose, chest congestion, and dear gods my ears HURT.   I got dizzy trying to bring a bag of trash out to the curb, so I'm pretty much sitting on the couch, drinking hot tea and attempting to work on a fanfic.  I'd thought about trying to go to work this afternoon (called in sick for the morning), but there's no way. 

As I said, this is my own damned fault, and I know it.  I stayed up late almost every night, geeking out with some of the finest Star Trek geeks I've had the privilege to meet - some famous, some not.  Klingon Kareoke.  Oh yes.

Anyway, I'm here, I'm sick, I'm writing, and I'd love to chat with anyone who happens to be around.  I might post more about Dragon*Con later, but for now, I really ought to work on this fic.  It's really coming together.  :)

Ahhhh, the no-work thing makes sense. My ears feel the same thing. ; ; and my throat is SO sore. ...you and I + sickness = HOW THE HELL ARE WE HEARING AT ALL?

*sips tea, needs bad*

If I could pick up this job and move it somewhere else, I'd move down to Philly which is my home. ;;

Well, my hearing is lousy and getting worse, even on the best of days lately, so right now, it's horrible. On another note, I've actually decided that I'm going to take a course in American sign language. Even if my hearing problem is temporary (which, seeing as it's been getting progressively worse over the past several months, doesn't seem likely anymore), it's a good skill to know.

I've been to Philly a couple of times. Not the place for me, but it was nice. I miss Boston fiercely.

Anyway, feel free to commiserate with me over illness. Also, if you have time, would you be interested in test-reading my fic? I need a test-reader. Already have a beta, and I'll only need her to do the beta work AFTER the primary Big Bang deadline, but I do need a competent test reader. Interested?

Yea! I wouldn't have any issues in helping you out. Shooting you a PM with my email.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Did you get the file?

[kirktastic.livejournal.com]

Sure did.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

YAY! Let me know when/if you have time to read it, and your thoughts as you do. :)

Will do! Working on my Kirk/Bones fanmix atm. @_@ While sick as hell and dizzy. Finished it up... working on cover and back art. XD

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Gah. Yes, working on stuff while sick and dizzy sucks, but Big Bang deadlines and shit... *sigh*

Why can't I have one more week?

Fanmixes... I've never done one. I never saw the point. But I do like to select songs that seem to fit characters and parts of stories and such. I've got a few that make me think of the Trek characters and movie(s).

There's a reason I don't do Big Bang. XD

Fanmix - mine's the story of how their lives, from where the timelines diverged to their deaths. It'll be very neat.

Huh. I'm kinda curious now. I really haven't ever listened to a fanmix, so I don't even know how they really work out.
