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.

Re: Thank you for shining a light on this oft-forgotten corner
Date: 2012-08-29 12:02 pm (UTC)The Avengers, I was having strange reactions to it. I didn't think I'd write in it at all, but then I suddenly have this one, single, epic story. Somehow. Very odd, very unlike me - I tend towards the "many snippets in a million different ways", or used to.
I think this entry is relevant to your interests: ;)

Date: 2012-08-29 12:09 pm (UTC)Yeah, all right--I was going by the corner of fandom that I know, which is of course fairly small. Huh, on the AO3 "First Time" has almost exactly the same number of uses as "Established Relationship", although that probably doesn't say much, since people tag very differently.

Ha, yes, I see the relevance!
