This is more of a reintroduction I guess than nothing else, if mainly because I'm hoping to poke my head in a bit more than I have been the last year or so, thanks to a change in circumstance that has me doing odd tasks at strange hours usually in a location filled with gray mazelike passageways and doors that at random intervals will hold a room that was most definitely not occupied or even in use several hours ago, where the powers that be do not always make sense but you're supposed to do what they say anyways, if you can't make do with what you've got you gotta MacGyver it, and there's always the distinct probability of things exploding and/or suddenly becoming on fire. (I also wouldn't eat the food or think too hard on it, if given the option, but that's neither here nor there.)
Anyways, to all those new people who don't know who I am, hello, I'm July, I've been around for quite a few years (with a short break), I may or may not be a PG at this point in time (honestly, that is a very good question), and I'm a spontaneous and continuous fountain of Excellent Bad Ideas (as many can attest or have witnessed). I'm also a pro at travel planning (as a few others here can vouch). I've got a spin-off that I really, really, really need to make available online again, and missions that have been in the works for so long that were they human children they'd be in school by now.
I've got a fairly steady set of canons I'm interested, primarily books (and comics), including but not limited to Pterry, Brandon Sanderson, the Harry Potter series, so on, so on.
Anyways, heyo to everyone who knows me from before, and I promise to not bitetoo hardany new people. -

Nice to see you around again. ^_^ Sorry for the delayed response, but I have a new job that's actually making me work, so I have less free time.
(Hm, seeing you reminds me that I should check and see if FractalDawn is still interested in a co-write. Any idea?)
Anyway. Welcome back!

It's a self-serve frozen yogurt shop. They're very popular, at least around here. It's not difficult and the pay is decent. I make about half per hour what I was before, but I should be getting more hours in a week, so it works out. {= ) Plus, I should be more motivated to actually do stuff with my days off. It's weird that having less time can mean that I get more done, but there it is.
(I shall do so in good time, then!)

Yeah, funny thing about time management, that. It's certainly done wonders for me.
I'm pretty sure the frozen yogurt has become a nationwide popular thing. Except perhaps in Alaska? Who knows. -
As an Alaskan, I can confirm frozen yogurt is a thing here. by

We are not, contrary to popular belief, frozen year-round. And even then, just because it is cool outside, why would we not want something tasty? Do you only eat ice cream when it's super hot? Doubt it.
Speaking of ice cream, I also seem to remember Alaska being the largest per capita consumers of ice cream in the US, though that may be wrong.
Also, welcome back! Sorry for the late response. Finals, you see. Anyway, it's wonderful to see you around again. -

I've only ever seen it once.

It's gaining in popularity here, though we're mostly dominated by the ice cream industry. Mostly soft-serve, which is a shame, because hand dipped is the best. Even more of a shame is that hand dipped costs more.
Frankly, I prefer ice cream, because if I want dessert, it's not going to be good for anything but my taste buds. :P -

They're going! We're working up to deployment which will be an adventure in and of itself, so there's that going for me.
As for new fandoms, hmm, I've gotten a bit more deeper into comics than I had been prior, but nothing too new (for now at least). -

Yeah, that is a very good question which I've avoided answering. ^_^ To make it even more tangled, you're definitely a Baron of Plort - but a baron without a barony. And round and round the question goes... best not to think about it too hard.

You can't use it to its full potential without being a Lunar Exalted. You could use it as a normal one, but you can't access the unique powers of moonsilver without the blessing of Luna.
Not that Luna, the moon goddess of Creation. Who can also be a god. Or a child-god. Or a heavily pregnant any-of-the-above. -

Take this plate of freshly-made SPaGhetti! It's good to have you back.
