Fandom elder, single, rooted in the pacific northwest. She/Her. I'm definitely more of an internet introvert but love making new friends! I am still proud Glee and Klaine trash and always will be. I collect fandoms rather than moving on, so other fandoms featured here include The X-Files, LOTR, Gilmore Girls, Snowbaz (from Carry On), Check Please, Orphan Black, Ted Lasso, and RTD era Doctor Who, mixed with liberal politics and intersectional feminism and whatever else catches my fancy. I tag liberally. I don't believe in and don't support conspiracy theories. I write fan fiction, slowly, and none of my fic are abandoned. No, not even that one.

In the airport traveling to Oklahoma City to chase the sun.

In the last 24 hours, I’ve changed my plans from driving down to Dallas (3 hours) to driving all the way over to Memphis (6.5 hours) because clouds are covering Dallas and skies look clear in Arkansas.

I arrived at the airport four hours early to get on standby for an earlier flight - and then realized that the connecting flight was in a different city, possibly stranding me in Denver, so I unstandby’ed only to later realize that I probably wouldn’t have been stranded and should have risked it.

My eternal anxiety: it’s going to be a seven hour driving time after the eclipse and probably much longer with everybody trying to get back. Will I have time to get back for my 8:00 flight THE FOLLOWING MORNING??

Important safety information about the eclipse on Monday

  1. You *can* remove the eclipse glasses during totality; not before or after.
  2. If you find yourself falling apart instead of falling in love, turn around, bright eyes.
  3. It is no longer considered best practice to cut the beating heart out of a human chest at the top of a pyramid to bring the sun back; nowadays, they just short out a LUCAS device.
  4. If you are imprisoned by an evil bishop, break out, and look for a hawk and a wolf who are in love.
  5. Most critically - No matter what, do not buy any strange and exotic plants which mysteriously appear during the eclipse.
