Hi Internets!
I'm spending most of October visiting my sister, so I haven't been online much lately -- we're doing visiting stuff and traveling stuff instead! Though I do occasionally check into LJ/email just to make sure that I haven't missed anything major. (As the vacation wears on, however, the ratio of "travel/visit stuff" to "computer stuff" seems to be slowly shifting more in the direction of "computer" as I get increasingly burned out on traveling/exploring/playing boardgames/etc., and start to need more solitude. Such is the life of the introvert. On the other hand, I don't want to spend TOO much of the vacation retreating into the guest bedroom with my laptop.)

festivids end today. I'd been on the fence about signing up, but I just don't think I'm going to. I'd like to get back into making vids, though. This winter I'm planning to treat myself to a faster computer -- the reason I stopped making vids a year or so ago is that, basically, every time I try, my laptop overheats. I can do it, but I have to do it in 10-minute increments with long pauses in between. It's just not fun, and I'm afraid of damaging the computer, which would be an absolute disaster because all my writing is on here. (Backed up, obviously. But the idea of a complete hard drive meltdown horrifies me.) But I want to get a newer computer, and get back into it; I already have ideas for several vids I want to make, mostly for Carnivale, and I think I would have a lot more fun if I'm not vidding to a deadline.
I don't think I will be signing up for Yuletide for the same reason. I have too much RL going on right now, and too much original fic that I want to write; I'd have more fun doing my fannish things quietly in a low-pressure environment over the remaining months of the year.
