In Outlaw Bodies related news, there has been another guest blog, a couple of interviews and a review. The guest post (by Kay HOLT of the Crossed Genres team [External Link] can be found here: Hush! [External Link]. Links to everything else can be found on this post here: Outlaw Bodies Blog Carnival [External Link].

Otherwise, still pretty much a “Nothing to see here” place. Still no fencing, done a bit of redrafting work and trying to find a way to make sure that life is more than work. The dogs also would like me to remember that, too.

That said, I thought I’d link another blog this weekend: Crazy Girl in an Aspie World [External Link]

The site is relatively new to me but it sums up a lot of my AS stuff a lot better than I could. It was pointed out to me by a friend on Facebook and the rest, as they say, is history. One thing that really stands out to mention is a post called “Mis-listenings and the ravine of no sense” ([External Link]), which mentions a phenomenon I don’t remember anyone else mentioning but I suffer from, particularly under stress. Basically, every now and again, my brain stops taking in what people are saying. You might as well be babbling brooks for all the sense I can get out of it. And, of course, I’m under stress when practising a new language, so, you know… If you ever see me with a blank look that doesn’t go away after the third time you’ve said whatever it was (I usually ask a couple of times before I give up) it’s best to give me a minute or two.
