German! The German I didn't get done yesterday. Aheh. Ooops. (This past week has had my schedule all borked.)

( Behind the cut )

I need to get better disciplined about my German when I get home from work. Yes, this past week's schedule was a bit borked, what with the boy getting off early one day and being home the next and therefore me not having the time to myself I usually do and that throwing me off and any number of other excuses, but this coming week will be normal, and I need to get into those habits

That said, both German and Russian are coming along decently. Somewhere in there I need to fold in re-learning the French and Spanish. Or rather, practicing, since every time I pick up a book or a movie in those languages I'm surprised at how easily it comes. It's just organizing it in my head and speaking it that I get tripped over, every time I stop to think about it. I can speak it fine if I'm not thinking about it, and then I stop to search for a word and it all goes tumbling down.

Either that or I start saying something in one language and lapse completely into another. At least German and Russian are different enough that I won't have that problem. Oi.

Right. Exercise, tidying, etcetera. Like a good baby courtesan. Christ, when did it get to be 2 already.

All right, I suppose some sort of introduction is in order for the new friends I've made through Yuletide, or at least, a last chance to flee before the insanity consumes you.

Right.

My name is Jag -- and I actually do go by Jag in real life and have for a good fifteen years or so. Which is a little frightening in and of itself. My username is Kittydesade almost everywhere I've been, including on Deadjournal, Insanejournal, Vox, and Journalfen. Of all of those I think Insanejournal gets updated most. Oh, and Greatestjournal, not that anyone ever goes there anymore.

My userinfo is pretty self-explanatory; I haven't updated my interests lists in a dog's age but it's still fairly accurate. It's also a good place to go for the fandoms I've been interested in over the past many years. More recent fandoms, as in, in the past six months or so, have not been added. My actual interests haven't changed that much since I did last fuss with it. The best way to get to know me as I am at the moment is to go through the last page or so of entries in my journal. Yes, most of it is German, Russian, and Tarot, but interspersed with that are real actual entries about what I've been doing.

I'm attempting a little exercise in self-improvement called Courtesan School, and you will find the phrases 'baby courtesans don't do that' or 'baby courtesans do do that' popping up a fair bit these days. Mostly what it involves is energetic, positive thinking, exercise of mind and body, self-discipline, and doing the little self-care things consciously every day to make myself feel good about myself and in general. A few of my friends are doing it with me.

In general, I don't feel a need to be private about a lot of things, so feel free to ask.

Enjoy the ride.
