Real life update

luzulaRight, I figure it's time for a RL update.
1) I am employed again, after my intermittent unemployment. It's not permanent, though--I have full-time university teaching through January, but after that I don't know. My courses seem kind of boring: mostly high-school level math, which I have never actually taught before. Might be a challenge, though, to explain things on a lower level than I'm used to. And then in December I have the same calculus course as I had last year.
2) I have a new roommate! The guy I liked least among the people I share an apartment with moved out, and a dear friend of mine moved in. I am delighted to be living with him. \o/
3) I am now in an open relationship, mostly because of kink mismatch. It's been going well so far (for three months or so), and I don't seem to have any problems with jealousy. It's mostly my boyfriend who's been with someone else (except, y'know, for me making out with fangirls at the spin-the-bottle party at Bitching Party). We'll see what happens.
Relatedly, why is there so little fic with V-type relationships? Almost all the fic with several characters involved in a relationship seems to be triangle-type OT3 fic. Why?
4) There was a weird exhibitionist guy masturbating in the woods that I like to walk in every evening. Arrgh. I wasn't afraid of him or anything, but I do want to be able to walk there without seeing un-asked-for masturbation. And I don't know if I should be afraid. Should I?
5) I finished Jo Walton's Among Others and, predictably, loved it. ♥ Also, I finally caved and ordered Lifelode, even though I had to get it from the US. Next book to read: Rosemary Sutcliff's The Silver Branch.
6) I'm reccing due South at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
crack_van this month, so check out my recs.
7) Augh, my Midsummer fic. *flails* Please remind me to write if you see me on gmail.

Date: 2012-08-09 07:53 pm (UTC)I've just searched V-type relationship,'cause I'd no idea what that was, and, yeah, that could be fun to write. I too wonder why there isn't more around. Hmmm...
Yay for new room mate! \o/! The proper combination of personalities under one roof makes all the difference in the world, yeah? Yow.
Pssst!

Yeah, it just suddenly struck me. And now I want F/K + K/V, with F and V as close friends. I mean, I see Kowalski as maybe having more energy for relationship stuff than the others, and also he's a bit more high maintenance. Hmmmm. *flutters eyelashes hopefully at you*
