It's been, what, 3 years since I've been here? Here's the update, with free mood whiplash:

Based on DreamWidth now, x-posting to LJ.
Still single, but now resigned to being foreveralone--I still have that scientist-y reluctance to speak in absolutes, but at this point my feelings on the matter are pretty similar to my feelings about the idea of a god. Still haven't gotten laid (6.5 years now). I realize, BTW, that my failure in these areas are almost all my own fault.
Because, apparently, my first midlife crisis wasn't crushing enough, I'm having another one. It suuuuuuucks.
Less into atheism as a "thing." My feelings on the overall existence issue are the same, and I still think dogmatic religion is dangerous, but the organized community doesn't have the same pull at it used to. Though I grant perhaps I'm not being exposed to the right people.
Still working at the library, though my job has mutated. Even in a good job market, I tend toward inertia.
I'm learning to drive. Hide yo' kids, hide yo' wife, 'cause I STILL cannot make a half-decent turn for love or money.
Meds are holding steady. My psychiatrist is a PITA sometimes, but I wouldn't trade him for anything.
My family and friends are all alive. I still miss Greg Giraldo, though.
I am still trying to write fanfic, and am still terrible. I may eventually just dump all my acutally-pretty-good bits'n'pieces in the laps of other authors, and perhaps they can make them do things.
Pretty Avenger (movie) crazy right now. My slashy feels are all Bruce/Tony--right now they have supplanted Jack and Daniel and I still am stunned that was even possible--but also very much in love with Black Widow and her badass chair, and enjoying fandom!Cap much more than movie-canon!Cap because the former gives him a lot more depth. (I have NO background save for the Marvel movie!verse, because I find comics difficult to read and the sheer breadth of comics canon to be overwhelming.)
I have a tumblr now. Look if you like, but it's 98% Science Boyfriends and their actors (incidentally, I do NOT appreciate none of you cluing me into how how hot Mark Ruffalo and RDJ are).
I am getting tired of "Lucifrix" but still have not come up with another name that is both available and appealing.
Gone Redditor. Where my peeps?
Politics just make me sad now. I am disgusted by the toxic climate of modern politics--I have tried to be fair but at this point I do feel certain much of the right's hatred of BHO is motivated by his race--and paralyzed by the sheer volume of information. I don't know whom I can trust, but keeping up with original sources is terribly difficult.

I am sure I'll have more to say at a later point, but I have no doubt you agree with me that this is enough for now? I hope this finds you all well (if any of you are still around in the first place).
