test for 6th kyu

For my own benefit. I was going to put up youtube videos for each of these, but can't find good ones for most of them - the videos all seem to be the more advanced level takes on each technique, some of them involving more dramatic breakfalls.

Katatetori Ikkyo - Irimi and Tenkan

Katatetori Shihonage - Irimi and Tenkan

Shomenuchi Kokyunage

Optional Techniques:

Ryotetori Tenchinage (Heaven and Earth throw)

Tsuki Kotegaeshi

Ushiro Ryotetori Sankyo

an appeal

Little Saint Anthony, please come 'round, there's something lost that must be found.

I really, really need my camera back. I haven't seen it since the move, where I saw it safely (I thought) nestled into a drawer. It doesn't seem to be in any drawer now, and I have many things I need to photograph, like a couple of dresses I want to sell, some new jewelry, etc etc. Am v. worried it was somehow dropped in the street during the move.

Hurrah for Yuletide

Greetings, Yuletide writer!

I don't like to throw up a bunch of constraints, but if you please, no excessively dark fic for me, where everything has gone wrong and it's the end of the world and rocks fall, everybody dies. I don't need fluffy, exactly, but staying a little more on the lighter/sexier side of things would be greatly appreciated. Obviously, this would mean no child/animal death...heck, if you could avoid character death period, I'd appreciate it.

Other than that, I particularly love stories that explore how character comes out in small moments and interactions. I love seeing how intimate relationships function - not just physically intimate, but emotionally intimate ones, too - although having that fall over into sexual intimacy is pretty cool, though.

Thanks so much, and see you in December!
