Late with good intentions.
I just got back from the NaNo wrap-up party, which was a total hoot. I had a ball with all the Edmonton WriMos over the course of the month, and I’m totally looking forward to meeting up with them all again – we’re hoping to set up a writers’ group, which is exactly what I need. The best part of a group like this is that it would be nearly impossible that I’d meet any of them in my day to day life, but something quirky like this brings us together and means that we get a huge cross section of people.
The highlights of the evening included yamsters, Amish convenience stores, and wiener cats. In other words, it’s a bunch of people as goofy as I am, and we laughed ourselves freaking silly over the four and a half hours that we were hanging out at Boston Pizza.
Meanwhile, I get my boyfriend back tomorrow – he’ll be finished all of his work for the semester, and once I finish up the four symphony concerts this weekend (ack!) we might actually be able to have a conversation once in a while. Whee! (I will not mention the other things I would like to be able to have once in a while.) The one thing that him being in grad school is doing is making me realise that it’s definitely NOT something I have any desire to do. At least not any time soon. I simply do not have the dedication to anything to be able to throw myself into school the way he’s had to.
(Excuse me, I must spend a moment drooling over Dr. Kovac, as any right-thinking woman would.)
It’s windy as hell out there tonight, and it’s whistling through the chimney the way it used to in my old house. It’s strange, how some things are just the same and others are so different. I wake up in the mornings and I expect to see my old room, and it takes a moment before I remember where I am. I don’t know if I wish I were still there, but it still feels strange to come home to this house every night, like I’m not really where I’m meant to be. It feels very temporary. I don’t know when that feeling will go away.
But now, ER is over, and I will go and hook up Giles to the Internet and post this, a few hours late and perhaps lacking in any cohesion, but with the right intentions behind it. So hello to all the Holidailies people who are overwhelming my stats counter – I hope you like it enough round these parts to stick around for a while.
(Oh my lord, a new Telus commercial with the piggies! I love these commercials more than is healthy. I think Bean and I could have a competition for which of us likes them more. They’re just so cute!)
