maychorianI feel really bad that I haven't been writing or reading or updating spngenlove lately. I had two affiliation requests sitting in my inbox for a week before I answered them. Internet has been taking a waaaaaaay far second priority to real life for me lately, and while that's kind of good, it's also kinda bad, in that I have made commitments and ought to keep them.
There is a short, simple explanation for how absent I've been from the internet, though. My back has been hurting. A lot. It makes it difficult for me to sit and use a computer, or lay on my stomach and use my netbook, as is more usual. It seems like I only have a certain amount of time I can stand to sit in a chair lately, and that time gets used up at my job. When I come home I just want to play in the yard with Murphy and my sisters, or lounge on the couch watching Netflix or playing Puzzle Quest on the X-Box. Even today, sitting playing D&D with my friends got hard after a few hours.
I really don't like welshing on my commitments, and I want to get back to having a fandom life soon. But please understand that if I seem to be ignoring you lately, it's not on purpose. It's just my stupid back and my off-line life getting in the way. I asked for an extension on my summergen story, too, because I realized that I'm having trouble writing because it Really Isn't Fun to try to write and enjoy the process (which I always have, even when it's hard) when I'm in constant, grinding pain. So yeah. Sorry.
But I really am interested in you guys and how you're doing! What's up lately? Anything exciting? I was always a Supernatural spoilerphobe before Season 5 broke me, but now I've read quite a few spoilers for Season 6 and I'm cautiously optimistic about how it might go. I've been watching Psych and Leverage and White Collar, and going through all the Futurama, Prison Break, and X-Files available on Netflix streaming, as well as rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender multiple times (new series looks amaaaaazing). I've also been reading the original translation of 1001 Arabian Nights lately, though I am continually shocked by how very, very racist and misogynistic that thing is. Wow. Still, some pretty amazing fantastic literature in there.
Hope everything is going well for you, too.
