wild for to hold

Reader, I did not have the energy for the queer meet-up. I may be PMS-ing. Boo! But I did have a wonderful Discord date with my girlfriend! <3

NASA's Artemis II mission could be underway sooner rather than later. The SLS has arrived safely at the launch pad. There'll be a "wet" dress rehearsal on Monday, starting at 9pm EST (that's 3am for me). I'm tempted to stay up, but I truly shouldn't, and I'll just try to get up super early the next morning to catch as much of it as I can.

Based on the results, humans could be on the way back to the Moon as early as February 8. I have a thing on February 7, so I sort of hope it'll happen a bit later, because I want to be glued to livestreams when that beautiful rocket takes off!

In the meantime I am fully drowning in Heated Rivalry feelings. They are all-consuming. I adore Ilya so much it hurts, and Shane too but in a slightly different way! I'm swimming through various AO3 tags while filtering for their ship & enjoying myself so much. A few of my friends are actually writing Hollanov fanfic too and I'm trying to be encouraging but not overwhelming about it. :D (Anyone needs a beta or cheer-reader, hit me up.)

(My friend who hasn't seen HR yet wants to meet up to do a marathon next Sunday. Eeeee!! However, I may need to watch Artemis II! But whatever happens, I'm going to have an awesome February 8 lol.)

Today I went on an epic quest to procure a printed version of War and Peace that took me about 3 hours, because whichever legends you may have heard about German public transport being super efficient and punctual, they are not true and haven't been since the 1980s. And I forgot my damn headphones. /o\ But I've successfully picked up the book, which is massive enough to kill small creatures when dropped from a standing height.
