Hi I'm Ace!

Some of you might have known me as Alex back in the day when I was using the journal [personal profile] theladyunicorn. I've been on Dreamwidth in one capacity or another since 2009.

FANDOM ACTIVITY


→ Been in fandom since 2002/2003
→ First fandoms were Harry Potter & Star Wars

Rowling is a trashbag, piece of shit and I absolutely detest her these days. I met some of my best friends through this fandom all the way back in 2008 or 2009 who I am still in contact with today. The memories hold a very special place in my heart because of this.

→ My main fandom at the moment is BTS (the Kpop group)
→ Other fandoms include MCU, Star Wars, Star Trek, Stargate, Six: The Musical and Harry Potter.

→ Fanfic Author - My BTS fanfic is over at [personal profile] wootteotheastro as well as on [archiveofourown.org profile] WootteoTheAstro. The majority of my other fanfic is so old I refuse to link it.

→ Roleplayer I roleplay both on Insanejournal and Dreamwidth.

I struggled to get going this morning so called in sick to work. I've spent the day building my entry for [community profile] makeashrine. I managed to get it working the way I wanted too using CSS/HTML but then I started experimenting with coverting it to javascript which I'm not that familiar with and well I've gone and completely broken it now so lmao. Off to start again

Facepalm

I'm very politically involved and a volunteer for my state Greens party. I sold my soul to them eight years ago lol. Anyway, I was considering not going but a number of my friends were doing a shift today at the Midsumma Carnival so I went along and did a few hours there.

Raced home for my NDIS Support Worker but took longer to get home than I wanted cause PT. Gotta love Melbourne PT lol, so "helpful" but I'm glad she still came. She does a lot of bulk cooking for me which is so incredibly helpful cause I really struggle with cooking when it comes to my executive dysfunction.

While she did that I actually spent time tidying my living area which is looking so much better. We'll see how long it lasts.

Had a couple of hours break before going into a meeting for Message Stick work on basically being better allies to our First Nations people. That went for a bit over 90min.

A good day, don't get me wrong but damn I'm tired

Also probably doesn't help that instead of sleeping at 10pm last night like I usually do my body kept me awake and online until 1:30am hyperfocused on what I was doing and still woke me up at 6:30am like I normally do.

That was fun /facepalm

All challenges are from Storygraph, I'm just also tracking them here so people are welcome to recommend books to me! (Inspired by [personal profile] kopi ♥)

My personal challenge is to only include a book once. So for example if the book is a historical romance, about religion and written by a woman I could only include it in one of those prompts.
