Yuletide signups

Forgot to mention: Yuletide signups are now open. If you're not sure what I'm talking about, there's a FAQ here that explains a lot. (And also this, but it's kind of more "entertainingly helpy" than "actually helpful.")

Signups will be open until the 28th. Further updates will be posted on yuletide_admin (official) and yuletide (community); also, this post is worth keeping an eye on.

Yuletide is a lot of fun, and includes many things you might not class as "fanfic" in the normal way of things. I encourage people to check it out!

Poland!

(Yes, I know my icon is not of Poland. Hush.)

It occurs to me that if I've made any mention here of my upcoming trip, I did so in passing, where nobody was likely to see it (and I don't remember it). So: I'm going to Poland! On Saturday!

I will be there for about a week, in Krakow and Gdansk. I am, quite pleasingly, the first member of my family to go to Poland; given how much my family travels, this is actually an achievement worth noting. (I beat them to Costa Rica, Ireland, Israel, India, and I think Turkey. Can't remember if I beat them to Greece or not. They -- meaning my parents and my brother -- have beaten me to China, Russia, South Africa, Finland, Taiwan, Norway, Malaysia, Sweden, Singapore, Denmark, Hong Kong, Italy, Germany, Japan, Zambia, South Korea, France, Austria, the Czech Republic . . . yeah.)

I intend to take a great many pictures, some of which may get posted here, depending on internet access and my energy level. Try not to break anything while I'm gone. :-)
