State of Moi
Aug. 15th, 2007 06:58 pmLoads of stuff going on. I haven't checked my flist in quite awhile so I'll be slowly going through it tonight. I have plenty of stuff to update on but I don't quite know where to start. Biggest thing is the social life right now. I've a story to post as well as soon as I find my damn thumbdrive.
( State of the Social Life Update )
In other news that's deserving of being outside a cut as I'm so excited over it – on Friday, I had a blow-out on my one front tire. (That's not the part that makes me excited) After a panicked pull-over, a call to HRAFB to come bail me out and then a call to my dad to see about lending me money to get my tire fixed, I decided to at least start on my tire.
Well. I just so happened to have changed my own tire ON MY OWN. From start to finish, I did it! Now, some of you are probably rolling your eyes because you've done it before… but I'm a complete girl when it comes to this sort of thing. Hello, it's dirty, for one. For two, those lugnuts are on there TIGHT and for three, I'm a weakling. I got the lugnuts off by standing on the wrench and bouncing. Figured out the jack (which was sort of complicated with having to build a doohickey to raise and lower it) and then changed the tire. I put the lugnuts back on, bounced on it quite a bit to tighten them and then, err, had HRAFB check to make sure I did it right. I might be proud of myself but I'm not stupid, I'm going to have someone doublecheck my work on this sort of thing.
So, yes, let me reiterate. I changed my tire all by myself! *buffs nails*
( State of the Work )
I have assloads of fic due and I've not moved on any of it as I'm spending as much free time as possible with HRAFB. I can't say that I regret that. It's nice to spend time with him and fic can be delayed a bit. I think that the mods of the different comms will be a-ok with it as I've already requested deadline extensions from some of them and some of them extended deadlines without having to ask.
How are all you guys? I've missed you.
