can I have internet for more than five minutes at a time?

Not really much to report right now, may have something later I want to discuss. Been reading a shit ton of random things, everything from this set of ghost stories I found, to some things about terraforming to massive amounts of grant report data. It's kind of left my head in a bit of a fog and I have to take periodic breaks because the internet here is still on the fritz. I've figured out that just turning off my network card and turning it back on means it loads faster, but it's still rather annoying. I may need to talk to the IT God and see what the hell is up. Considering all this crazy I may see if I can run and do errands.

Other than that, have a meme. What the hell.

1. Tell me about myself! How would you describe my personality to someone else if you had to?

2. Ask me anything you want to know about me, my life - anything you're curious about.

3. Post this in your own LJ so that I can do the same for you!

You're totally not obligated to post this anywhere, btw.

2. Not in the slightest. What really made me want to attempt it was the fact what we know of Iffy is she's motherly; and from what I'd developed of Veld, he seemed like he needed someone that would alternately fuss over him and tease him. So I wrote one story and then decided I owed her some reasoning for why she acted the way she did and why she'd be interested at all in a guy like Veld. I mainly liked the idea of them because of all the fatherly (both failed and successful) themes I based Veld off of and the motherly ones that Iffy is given.

It's probably a fallacy on my part that I always start out a character as an idea and then flesh them out to be a person. But it's worked so far, and been a lot of fun. Not all characters, just the minor ones or original ones of mine. I suppose that helps make it feel more canon sometimes, as all minor characters are just ideas.
