*exhales*

Ah, well, now I know where I'm going by the end of this month, which is nice. I have an aunt who's willing to put me up for a while. This will be interesting- it's a pretty big house she's got, but I'll be sharing with her, two of her sons, and another cousin I haven't seen since he moved to California as a boy. I'll be sharing a bathroom with him, actually. So, yeah, nice to have that somewhat settled, even if it makes the looming loss of my childhood home all the more concrete.

Anyway, I have a meme! From zombres:

Respond to this post with "Interests, please" and I'll pick seven of your LJ interests for you to explain in a new post.

( Her selections and my responses are under the cut. )

Also, a quick rec if, like me, you'd like an entertaining distraction. zarla has gamely screencapped and written commentary for a variety of video games and yaoi anime films. I've spent most of today reading her yaoi commentaries, and they are pretty priceless, while also being a good education in that whole weird seme/uke thing they've got going on over there. Quite honestly, I find the seme/uke stereotype kind of disturbing. Not to mention lazy and unimaginative on the part of writers who utilize it. It seems obvious that that kind of relationship only works in an entirely fictional world, and it worries me to think that there are fans of it who don't realize that. I'm just hoping like hell my own work is free of those seriously effed-up relationship dynamics.
