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.

May all your own writing blossom forth like lilacs!
Thank you! I am finally done with my Midsummer fic now. It is posted, even if I still feel that it is imperfect. Huh, the fic has lilacs blossoming at one point, actually. : )

*sigh* indeed. Perhaps you could become an airbender and fly yourself here in zero time?
Looking forward to reading your fic when the curtains are drawn!
