So, uh, welcome. And stuff.

Hello! I got a signed copy of Rosemary and Rue at a convention last year and passed on my unsigned copy to a friend. She or perhaps a mutual friend linked me here (hi blue_gold, hi lnbw) around the time you had the Late Eclipses giveaway. It was just around my birthday & I would've commented that in the giveaway post except I clicked the link too late; you'd already awarded the books.

What's new with me? Hm. I live in NYC (that's not new). On St. Pat's Day, while walking in the Village, I got body slammed by a tiny, very drunk, blonde NYU student. I'd noticed her before she hit into me because of the expression of fierce concentration on her face (like a kid first learning to walk who has to focus on every step). I remember noting that, thinking "she's drunk," and that she had friends with her, and then mentally dismissing her...until I heard the shout of "get her!" and looked up in time to see her lose control and smash me into a building. She then careened off me, going toward the curb. Her friends caught her before she ended up in traffic, for which she thanked them by throwing up on them. As startled as I was by the body slam, I thought that I'd gotten off comparatively lightly, until I woke up with the tiny blonde's knee print on my...back. Let's say back.
