The Final Monday

Today marks the last Monday I will have for this semester at this job.

I have agreed to recontract for another semester which will begin in mid-September. This makes me nervous about asking my crush person if he wants to keep in touch. It is very obvious that my employer would love it if they could keep us from ever keeping in touch with our present or even former students because they are so concerned with keeping a stainless reputation. I learned from a coworker that apparently he heard the policy used to be quite a bit different, but some man obviously made some female student deeply uncomfortable in the midst of a flirtationship and ruined it for everyone.

On the one hand while I feel that there is nothing ethically wrong with asking if he wants to keep in touch, I HATE being a rulebreaker even when the rules don't make sense. I am pretty flexible myself, but then there is just this block, and I really don't want to feel guilty. There is also the fact that if they found out next semester I could get in trouble, but that shouldn't happen if I am not stupid?

And honestly this feels pretty melodramatic for just trying to keep in touch with someone I like without any idea if it will ever go anywhere.

I am so looking forward to going home for a while, though. Except for at work, I am so lonely, and I want a computer back so badly. I really miss fandom engagement.

Catch-All Journal Primer

It is fashionable to have a sticky post, I guess. Here is one for me.

For the past few years on the internet, I have gone by the name Prix. I have found it convenient even though the origins of it now make me feel a little bit ambivalent.

I'm in my 30s until January 25, 2031. I'm a Christian and politically left-leaning. Fandom culture is something I consider myself both a part of and interested in as a sort of sociological phenomenon, but I have been struggling to find my mooring in it for a few years now. Hopefully, I'll be able to work on that and stop berating myself for wanting to participate in anything.

You can find a sort of universal landing page that the cool kids on twitter have been using lately here:

I write fanfiction when I can, and that is my primary fannish contribution to the world. For a long time, I was failsafe on AO3, but it didn't stick or feel like a name elsewhere, so I recently changed my AO3 name to match the rest of my more recent online identity:

I have a mix of current fandoms and forever-fandoms at any given time.

Honestly there is no way of telling about frequency, and the more engagement I get in a present interest the more I talk about it. Stick around if you like anything and it should come up eventually.
