I Totally Consider Sleeping A Hobby

Things That I Have Done Over Labor Day Weekend:

• worked, which was fairly hellish, since it was 7.30 to 4. Also it was very strange sitting in someone else's cubicle. 
• finished several pieces of paperwork I needed, including my letter of resignation for work (handing in tomorrow!) and my absentee ballot form so I can vote for Obama and Udall in November.
• Finally finally finally got in touch with my roommate for this year. She's a junior, econ major with a creative writing minor, sounds really nice so far. Hopefully we will get along, yes?
• got a metric ton of sleep, which is always a good thing. I don't care how much my dad teases me - sleeping is /fun/
• downloaded (still in process of) some new comics, because i am feeling keenly a lack of sufficient Impulse, Robin, Super-boy and Nightwing in my life. And one can never have enough Booster Gold. XD
• played Sims for 4 hours, in which I had one of my Gen 6 Llewellyn heirs meet a new girl, hit it off, date, have hot lesbian sex, and then get engaged, only to have Max spontaneously shut down because of overheating, which meant I lost everything. Woe. But I played for awhile toniht and got them back together, and at least Cymry and Evan and their eternal 3-bolt love affair are safe.
• became addicted to a new game: Mechquest. Thank you oh so much, hanjuuluver . One of the reasons work on Sat was so hellish was because I only got 2 hours of sleep beforehand because I was up so late playing. But it's so captivating! And simple enough that even someone like me who fails at RPGs can handle it, and I'm playing as one of my space opera OCs, so I get to make up stories about him while I play.

So yeah, all in all not a bad long weekend.

Watch Me Crash And Burn

Four Stories I May Or May Not Write For NaNo This Year:

1. the story will the magic eye and the smith getting kidnapped by fairies and the cute bardic angst that everyone's already heard me go on about
2. the story about the clown who falls in love with the acrobat and gets the rest of the circus folk to help him woo him. While they solve a mystery at the circus. Pure, unadulterated YA fluff.
3. the story about the girl who is stuck in the intensive care lounge with her mother's boyfriend after her mother is in a car accident and they have to make a tough medical decision that is made more difficult because they don't like each other.
4. the story about the girl who is living simultaneously as her past, present, and future incarnations: a young nun in 11th century Europe somewhere, a modern teenage girl, and an aging politician representing one of earth's major colonies in space. As you can imagine, this is a bit confusing to her.
