Hi my name is Nikki and I wish I could be more consistent with my updates here. You will just have to forgive me though. 2009 has quickly become the year of the gallop-y run, the broken pony jaunt that will quickly increase to track&field speed.

There’s a stack of anthology submissions suggestively winking at me. I’m so giddy about the sex anthology. I have a couple offers to help with distribution, and even layout if I need it. I’m also checking out options for cover art/photography. Cue the grubby little hands rubbing together. Time to crank up the tunes, put the headphones on, and format format format.

Oh, and school started. I’m back in college officially. I’m only taking one class because, well, it’s been 9 years and I need the ease more than the cannonball ifyaknowwhatImean. Had my first class last night and so far so great. I have homework. The concept of having homework is hilarious to me. But there you have it. Fun homework though, like reading. Although my face is a bit pinched over having to start the semester reading Jane Austen. At least the first book is “Northanger Abbey.” Maybe I will enjoy this gothic parody. I’ll let you know as progress develops.

I’m also back on a fitness regimen and I’m trying to get that routine established stat. One perk of working at Pitt: access to the gym. So I’m going to the pool with my swim cap and goggles and trying not to get run over(swam over?) by the junior olympians. According to my first time there, I should expect time trials and races post-work, instead of a semi-aggressive workout. People there are serious. And I’m finding it a teensy bit frustrating(but mostly downright hilarious).

In other news: acquiring new roommate this Saturday, and going to my first ever pro football game on Sunday. Steelers vs. Chargers in the playoffs. It’s gonna be cold, but it’s gonna be sweeeeeet.

I’ll make it a goal to try and post something a bit more reflective and fleshed out soon. But have no fear, life is tremendous, and it’s keeping me busy.
