My Geekiness: Let Me Show You It

[caitri]

So you see that there? Is the print-out of my STBB. All 125 pages of it.

And it is done.

Know what that means?

Sequel.

(No, seriously, this is what I will do for gadgetorious in return for Jim/Eomer porn because I have an ADDICTION. That is all.

~

So. I'm going to register for the GRE and start emailing professors for recommendation letters and putting a packet together for grad school.

The PhD thing? May become a reality.

Now that might not sound like much, but I was thinking about this in my office as I was chatting earlier today, and seriously, ten years ago I could not have even DREAMED this could be my life. I have awesome friends who care about me, awesome coworkers who make MONDAYS hilarious, an awesome fandom that does neat stuff (seriously, gang, the jim_and_bones folks are doing a fandom workshop for newbs? How cool is that!!!! I signed up as a mentor!), a geeky husband whom I love very much, and two adorable cats and one cracktastic puppy. ...I'm totally gonna die tomorrow, aren't I? Wait, no, I'm not in a Joss Whedon show, thank GODS...

Anyway, everyone has been so encouraging, and I'm just hopeful and kind of nattering here, but yeah, I had to share. :)

Um no you wouldn't die if you where in a JW show...you'd be the chick he made a lesbian.

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'd become a lesbian! And then he'd kill me...

[dramapunk.livejournal.com]

hahahah or turn you into and evil lesbian then turn you into a vampire, then give you a soul, then make you fall into love with someone who will never love you, the kill you.

Haven't gotten my posting date yet, bb. Sorry. On the plus side, that means when you actually DO read it you'll be that much closer to having a sequel shortly following. :)

[suddenlyswept.livejournal.com]

this is true and makes me quite happy :D

ooh, and i meant to ask you . . .phd? what subject? i'm thinking about a phd and have been studying for the gre. *facepalms*

[caitri.livejournal.com]

English. I was thinking about doing it in Creative Writing but the straight English degree will give me more street cred in my career. :)

How about you?

[suddenlyswept.livejournal.com]

well, i did my masters in english but am thinking of switching to history for my phd.

though, every time i have lunch with a former english professor, i waver back to lit :D

but really, its almost positively history. almost positively :D

[caitri.livejournal.com]

LOL@almost positively.

[amine-eyes.livejournal.com]

Eeeee exciting!! :D :D :D

And I'm SO glad that everything is working out (especially if that means a sequel!!! *dances excitedly*)

[weepingnaiad.livejournal.com]

Sequel! Yeah!

And, PhD? Best of luck!

[caitri.livejournal.com]

Jim/Eomer. My addiction. It's a thing.

And yeah, I registered to take the GRE today too. :)
