in conclusion, i wish i were back in chicago

1. Two days ago was Indonesia's 65th birthday, and you'd think it would be the perfect time to write more Indochesters, but the world instead decided that it was the perfect time for me to lose my housing HAHAHAHAHAHhdkjslf. I'm bunking with a friend for the time being, and I might be able to get my housing back, but just in case I can't... who in New York City needs a roommate ASAP? :D? :D??

2. [community profile] eid_ka_chand/[livejournal.com profile] eid_fic is having its 2010 Eid Al-Fitr Challenge! I signed up last year wanting to write something about the Carpet and Abu from Aladdin, and then never wrote anything, ALAS. Maybe this year I'll actually write something about Muslim Indonesian Novaks? If, you know. If being homeless doesn't get in the way.

3. SPEAKINNA INDONESIA: Fantasy Fiesta 2010 omggg INDONESIAN-LANGUAGE FANTASY WRITING COMPETITION ♥______♥. Growing the movement at hoooome! If only my Indonesian weren't as in shambles as my housing situation!

4. [livejournal.com profile] help_pakistan recover from the floods of a few days ago. 20 million people have been displaced, 6 million of whom have yet to receive aid. Bidding begins on August 23. I am offering to make a mix. I reeeaally want some SPN vidders to sign up.

5. I have 8 Dreamwidth codes, so if you want one, comment with your email. First come first serve, I don't care who you are.

6. AND THERE IS STILL CASFEST TO SORT OUT LOLOLOL D:

7. Also I lost my cellphone.

Oooh, thanks for the comm links. I hadn't even heard of the Eid Al-Fitr challenge before!

AUGH HOMELESSNESS/NO CELL???? DDDD: The only New Yorker I know lives in student housing so I am no help except to say, like, AUGH and AUGH THAT IS AUGH.

But hey, what needs to be done for Casfest? If it's just, like, compiling links to everything into a post or whatever, LET ME KNOW and I can do all the coding for that this weekend and shoot it over to you in an email for you to post. I'm dedicating pretty much my whole weekend to fic-reading anyway, so it'd be no trouble.

You're welcome! I just edited the post because I'd forgotten there was an LJ mirror to the Eid challenge.

MY CELL IS IN O'HARE, IDK, I NEED TO BADGER THEIR LOST AND FOUND MORE. A set of roommates miiiight accept me into their fold, and I should be getting in touch with Nyoka about certain possibilities, so! All is not completely of despair, I guess!

OH GOD YES WOULD YOU DO THAT, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME PROBABLY BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME eeeeee. What I really need is for these 6 people to WRITE ME BACK telling me if they're on the horse or off it or forgot they signed up for Casfest or what. And then I need pinch-hitters ;_____;
So yeah, there are some people with extensions beyond the weekend who still need to post their stuff, but if you could get a headstart coding the masterlist, that would be a lot of excellence right there. <3333

AUGH O'Hare are usually pretty good with this stuff! :((( But for real, as long as you are not sleeping on or under park benches, all is not lost.

I would be THRILLED to do that. I'm guessing same info as in posting guidelines, y/n? I get a deep, secret thrill from organizing wads of information, so really, no trouble at all. <333333

Do you need new pinch hitters? Eeep. Uh, lemme know if anything sounds like something I could do? Lolol I have two false-start drafts for totally different proto-Casfest stories, so hey, who knows.

[identity profile] twoskeletons.livejournal.com 2010-08-19 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
YOU ARE TOO PRECIOUS FOR THIS WORLD.

Yup, same info as posting guidelines. It can be really fulfilling to sort things, yes! And then you sort too much and it eats your soul :( and then kind people on the interwebs offer to help :D! YAY INTERWEBS <333

And I will definitely let you know about pinch-hitting, thank you! oh gosh XD

I never get tired of normal-sized humans engulfed in Sam's arms.

It is at times like these that we must ask ourselves, what can YOU do for CASFEST. Or I must ask myself. You must chill out and surf craisglist and cut yourself a break on interweb obligations, gurl, the internet will understand.

Uhmmmm...that sucks? :( I mean the housing situation, specifically. Hope you get that worked out quick-like. <3

babyyyyy *holds you* I am so sorry to hear about shit hitting the fan as soon as you headed out, even, with the phone-losing and all, and then the housing-losing, and *huuuuugs*
you know I will write any casfic that might help. and you know that if I lived in NY I would immediately be like COME LIVE WITH ME. we will just span this distance with the power of internet and love <3333

I am kind of numb to it now. Not!feeling ftw? Oh well, so this weekend I am going up to New England. They'll have a bed for me there.

Chicago would not make you put up with these shenanigans! *hugs* (Also, everyone I know who used to live in NYC moved to Hoboken, so...)

meep! that sounds like a very bad combination of events (i.e. #1 & #7) - don't have anything helpful to suggest re: housing as I don't know anyone in the area, but I'll be crossing my fingers for you finding something.

I WISH I COULD HELP YOU WITH YOUR PROBLEMS.

If I manage to get this hideous mess of a big bang into some sort of order by midweek I can pick up any leftover casfest pinch hits?

PLEASE DO NOT BE HOMELESS. And even if you are, please drag yourself out of your cardboard box and find a public library where you can write Indonesian Novaks and annoy people with the stench of your unwashed, ragged clothing.

CARRY ON, WAYWARD LASS!
