So if youve noticed Im MIA

It's because I'm officially done with The Canvas.

I've been kind of backing away slowly as of late, only popping in every once in awhile, posting even less.

Why? I guess it's not a big surprise - I've been feeling constrained by TC's current ownership. Don't get me wrong, I've loved TC. And I've met AMAZING people here.

But, and this is why I began backing away, I'm not so into the 'ship that I can't see when a storyline is crap. And frankly, what I've been seeing on the screen lately is crap. Manufactured, repetitive, non-angst, stupid little "bones" of happiness tossed to us infrequently.

I don't feel comfortable expressing those emotions on TC. I'm fairly certain I would be slapped down in a major way.

I don't approve of the indiscriminate post deletion and member banning.

And what sent me screaming for the hills is the recent "gifting" slash "hostile takeover" of TC. Not that my opinion matters, but I think it is WRONG, and it cemented my decision that TC has morphed into a publicity machine and nothing else.

Thankfully, I've found a better place to hang.

Check it out. Tell them I sent you. Or not. Whatever....we're a pretty laid back bunch.image

Who am I

Short answer? The name is Karen. I go by busygirlks on TC, and you may see me around at other Liason boards by the same name. I'm an accountant, but I don't think I'm too boring. Although, most boring people probably don't think they are either. I've lived all over Maryland, but never outside the state.

Right now, I live in the DC suburbs (in MD), but far enough into the country that, were you to see my house and land, you would laugh at me for associating it in any way with DC. There are more cows and Amish buggies than politicians where I live. I tend to prefer it that way.

I live with my wonderful husband of six years, and our four cats. We're close to our hometown, very close to family and generally pretty content.

I write poorly thought-out Liason fanfic...I rarely if ever use an outline...and I have loved Jason and Elizabeth since they hit the screen together in 1999. Apparantly I have been forcing them on hubby (who was my boyfriend then) for as long, because he remembers the splinter scene.

Anything you want to know? PM me, leave a comment, or pop over to my site and post there.

I wanted to post a special "thank you" to anyone who nominated me for the "Safe Place Awards." It means a lot to me that you enjoy my writing. Thank you!

    I can imagine! Things are okay on my end. Crazy busy, too. Law school sucks balls. I look at it as an unfortunate step to being a scholar of the law. :-P If there was a way to be a lawyer without going to law school, I'd be on it like Elvis on a pack of bacon.

    OMG SHANE.

    *dies*

    Hee hee.

    I've missed you, Karen! I hope things are good with the fam and everything. I'm around. Mostly at SE. Not really into the whole Liason fandom anymore which kind of sucks, but whatever. Damn TPTB.

    Hi Huma!

    I've missed you too! I gave up on the stupid show...still hang out at RTN sometimes. I'll have to come by SE and catch up.

    Work's been kind of intense lately...and you might guess that I don't have a lot of free personal time with a six-month-old at home. :)

    Thank you so much! He is doing so much better, if it weren't for his cough and his scratchy voice you would never know he was even sick :D
