A quick update:
YES! I passed my first two classes after my year break from school, so maybe I did it by the skin of my teeth, but I did it! Note to self: next semester leave the procrastination streak you have behind so you don't suffer a heart attack doing all your exams for last minute. Sorry about the long absence my computer died of an electrical surge and we just finally got a new one. Either way 6 credits down and I'm on my way again!

In other news:
Novel:
Still a work in progress, I have had a bad case of writers block, mainly due to some elements of the story not working in the way I hoped. So now the plan is to back track to the beginning and try and find a way to work it in better as I re-write. On the plus side I have a publisher biting at it so I have set the goal of getting it done in the next few weeks before Christmas, but that goes back to that whole procrastination thing. :D

Fic:
After the poll of last post I am hoping to finally finish that fic I started once things settle down here. It will get done I just have to go back and get back into the flow of the story so it will be right. So whether you were following it here or at fanfiction.net stay tuned for that .

So I got my fiance hooked into Sanctuary, lol. We now watch it like an old married couple every Friday night, complete with a reminder on our cable box for it. He was pissed when it wasn't on last week, which was somewhat entertaining with him pouting and yelling when the promos came on for this weeks episode.

Hope all my American Flisters had a great Thanksgiving, I did if you don't count the fact that my car decided to die again on that morning. Now sadly we have to wait for two weeks to get it running again.

Should I continue my Sparky fic with the end of SGA?  The fandom seems to be slowly dying away which makes me wonder  if it is worth it to continue and it's brought me down in the process.  What do you think?

So I have finally gotten bitten by the Twitter bug and got one, so far so good.  If anyone feels like adding me look for celestialwings. 

We finally have cable and internet again- WOOT!! 

So after the one of the most depressing/ sad/ turbulent years on record, for me at least; I know many others have had worse more than likely, I am pleased to say that college here I come again!!!  I never knew that going back to school would ever be an idea I would be looking forward to going back to school, but that's exactly what I'm feeling right now.  So now that that is penciled into reality, I am, for the first time in recent memory, feeling confident on my career path. *dances for joy*  Now here's to hoping that won't change.

that or doing something a bit more productive than looking up old sparky fics.  The only issue with this is that I can't muster up the will to do anything productive,  stuff so we can hopefully move has been taken care of, or at least as much as I can do without actually going to the house to see it which I think we're doing tomorrow, and my other half is currently out fishing with his friend at one o'clock in the morning.  Sigh.  BTW:  anyone know a good way to get (threaten)  a muse back to come back from her vacation, mine went a few months ago and hasn't  come back.  

I have finally found an internet connection, but who knows how long that will last.  Mainly due to the fact that  we are probably moving once again at the end of the month.  The place we're in just is drab and has horrible drafts, we found this out last winter when we're froze trying to go to sleep.  So us, our dog and new kitty are packing up and moving across the city again. 

For the first time in awhile  I can honestly say I am proud once again to be an American.   Congrats to our new President-elect!!!

So I get home tonight and find out that one of my old friends called while I was out.  It turns out that her father, step-mother and two children were in an accident.   An 16 year old hit their vehicle head on after crossing the center line.    Her youngest (2) and father were killed and her oldest (4) has a broken arm, though stable and her step-mother is in critical care.  The 16-year old was also killed.    Sigh , a life lost when it was just beginning.

On a happier note my fiance and I may have found an apartment, we'll hopefully put the down payment on it tomorrow.  We love it, its big and in an older house so it has  that charm about it.  I want to be excited about that news, but I can't .  I mean I held both of them shortly after they were born,  and though their mother and I have grown apart over the years we have remained friends.  Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers. 

Just when I think I have things remotely figured out, I turn out to be very wrong.   My fiance and I are going to be pretty much moving in with each other in the next month or so, and while I'm ecstatic about the change and the start of our lives together, that mood isn't shared by everyone.  Such as my parents, I know that they're thoughts are hesitant- I am their oldest, the move itself will be very expensive to some degree and the economy isn't that secure by no means so they''re worried about what will happen if things do take a turn for the worst- and I can understand that.  However at the same time we all take that chance when we move away from home, it could be a big mistake, if that's the only one I'll make in my life I'll be surprised; but I feel that we are ready.  It isn't like we are going into it alone, we are going into it with one our friends just in case and to help out with the bills.  My fiance's job pays well, I work at last, and between the three of us (maybe more even) we should manage.  With all the doubts being cast in our direction it is starting to wear us down to almost the point of being unhealthy, which isn't good.  Any thoughts from those who may have gone through this experience?

In other news my muse has finally returned from its vacation, and my as such my fic was finally updated.  For those who want to check it out:

Thanks for all the b-day wishes, it was a blast.  Didn't do too terribly much just hung out with my now fiance and our friends.  I was joking around with him and said he just wanted to one-up everyone in gifts and asking me the big question was the way to do it.  But none-the-less I did say yes, and while no date will remotely be set for awhile, I'm still super happy.  Seriously I've been engaged about a week now, and I'm loving every minute of it.
