I could see Howie on a cooking show like Great British Bake Off or something like that lol.
Wow you had a tornado there? That must be scary. I hope there's no damage. We don't get anything like that here, just lots of rain.

I did finally get on to AO3 yesterday and there were two reviews. One of them was really long and detailed. I love those! I think she figured out that I'm not going to kill Roman. The other girl just said the usual I can't wait until Roman and Gerri reunite. LOL I think I'll probably get one or two more comments. I usually have one steady reviewer who usually doesn't read until the end of the week. It's so weird, because some weeks I'll get about 2 or 3 comments. Other weeks like last week, I'll get about 6 or so. I've stopped trying to figure it out. I'm just grateful for people who take the time to review my stuff.
The tornado hit downtown Buffalo, so it was a pretty safe distance away from me. It's rare to get a tornado here. It was an EF1 and mostly just took some roofs off of houses and downed power lines and trees but thankfully no deaths or causalities. Climate change, weather is getting wacky everywhere. I am surprised we didn't lose power.
I'm glad you got writing done because or your power outage. I do think you should go ahead and do that with your one shot. The fact that it's not a one shot alone is a great April Fool's joke. I can't believe you've managed to maintain that gag for as long as you have but, I also can't believe you also have kept your site alive for as long as you have. GOAT!
Howie on the Great British Baking Show. I would love to see that! I stopped watching The Masked Singer a while ago and only watched SYTYCD because of Nick that one season.
I have not done the packing thing yet, but I do think I have bought everything I'm going to need including every possible motion sickness medicine available. Just in case. LOL

We aren't supposed to get anything like that here either. We are only known for heavy snow but within the past year we've had an earthquake and now a tornado!

Yay for reviews, especially the long and detailed kind! You can never predict what readers will choose to comment on. Sometimes things that I expect to get a big reaction don't, yet small things will. But like you said, I'm grateful to get any reviews, so I'll take whatever I can get! Shoutout to Steph for leaving detailed, coherent comments!
LOL Thanks for the GOAT comment! I'm really just unusually loyal. Once I fall in love with something, I tend to love it forever. I do take pride in my site's longevity, so I'll keep it going for as long as I'm still using it.
I'm glad you weren't affected by the tornado! We actually had an EF1 tornado here while I was in Tennessee. I guess there were a lot of tree limbs and power lines down, but thankfully I didn't have any damage at my house, and everything else was mostly cleaned up by the time I got home. Tornadoes aren't that unusual in Illinois, but it's scary to hear about them happening in places that don't usually get them. We've had a couple of dust storms in the past year or so, which is not something I ever remember happening here before. It happened in the spring when we had a long stretch without rain while farmers were planting their crops, so the fields were full of loose dirt that blew up into big dust clouds. It affected visibility so badly that they had to shut down interstates because nobody could see to drive. I would expect that in the desert, but not here. Climate change indeed!

I miss Steph's reviews. The BSB peeps all gave really great reviews.
It usually takes me awhile before a hyper fixation dims for me, but when it does, it completely goes away at first and then it'll slowly come back but nothing to where it was before. That's where I am with BSB now. I'm clicking on more stuff related to them now, showing more intertest but not anywhere near where I was before. I will always love them though. That's another thing that remains true of everything I've ever obsessed over. They still mean the world to me. I think the only fandom that has never swayed for me is The Mets and it's been my longest one yet. Although I'd probably put that in a different category.
I'm glad we've never had a dust storm here. Those seem awful. So weird how all these weather events are slowly hitting places they never have before. I didn't really want to live through the actual apocalypse, but here we are. :shrug:
