California Dreamin' (On Such a Winter's Day)
And the countdown continues...
By my count, if all goes well, it's 10 and a half hours until I meet Brand for the first time. Oh my. I shouldn't have said that. Actually, I didn't start to get nervous until I was online with him last night, and I realized that was probably the last time I would speak to him before meeting him. And then I got butterflies in my stomach when he grinned and said, "22 more hours!" He was being all cool about it, like he's not nervous too, but I know better. Well, then again, he did say he probably wouldn't get nervous until today. Me, I'm more hyper than anything. Of course... all the caffeine I've had today probably isn't helping. Hee.
And.. it snowed last night. We've got a good four inches on the ground now. I keep getting glares from coworkers when I start bouncing about going to California tonight. Can't imagine why... just because I'm leaving this snow-covered wasteland for sunny southern California... heh. Susan seems particularly irritated, surprise. She grumbles for me to shut up everytime I get bouncy. Whee! Just checked the Weather Channel website. 59 and sunny in LA currently. I honestly tried not to gloat, really. I promise. But they did ask...
So, getting my mind off California... I've been playing on a new MUSH lately, a great little place. I just finished up an application for a new character. The MUSH is a historical one, set in the 1700s. Joanna and her past lives have been floating around in my mind for quite some time now, so I applied for a selkie character, one of her ancestors. I'm very proud of the background story I wrote. I may have to post it here on my site as a companion to Joanna's story, which I still plan to revise. Someday. Le sigh. I need more discipline when it comes to writing. I enjoy it, when I manage to sit down and make myself do it. Funny... I have all these plans, and they all seem to hinge on getting a better computer and cleaning up my room. Oh. And a better computer desk too. Having a real workstation of sorts will solve all of my problems. Yes it will. And once that's done, I can see about constructing an altar of sorts. Which, of course, will resolve all of my spiritual questions as well. Okay! Three steps to solving absolutely everything in Lisa's life:
- Clean up my room. (This should actually be items 1-50, I think)
- Set up a real workstation, complete with new computer and desk.
- Set up an altar to... whatever.
Once this is done, everything else will fall into place. I'm certain of it.
Nine hours now until I arrive in Los Angeles. Oh my. Well. I'll make a point of posting a report here after I get back on Monday.
