Aug. 1st, 2009 01:36 ami figure now's as good a time as any to put some thoughts down on this LJ thing that i've been avoiding.
like how i've limited myself to +40 going back in entries. i just got exhausted thinking about everything i could've possibly missed in 3 weeks. not that too much could happen, you know? but still. 3 weeks. exhausting. so if there was anything you could think of that happened, feel free to drop a line here and lemme know.
or like how i went to work today, hated every second of it, and then made plans for this year's nano. whoops. because i should definitely be reading about the Sidhe (apparently pronounced shee; thanks ever so, gaelic), the Sluagh (not like in LKH's stuff), Arthurian legend as it ties into faery, the Wild Hunt (and adjacent topic Ghost Riders in the Sky) and how that would all work together in a pseudo-SPN fanfic, but only if i went the way of the western and contemporised the legends. it's been kicking around in my head since i heard that country song "Ghost Riders in the Sky", but i keep tossing it about and losing it when i remember Riders in the Sky, which was a kids' tv show and was more about yodeling and being a good cowpoke. or whatever. but, hey, NaNo planning ahoy?
other thoughts include how my body's been working against me, so i think i'll go on (somewhat drastic) dieting measures to figure out why i'm having an allergic reaction to myself. like... the sick man's diet (chicken broth, water, juice, jello). i also considered checking my spiritual well-being-- i was super uplifted by my trip to poland. i have never seen as much love as i saw there. makes me remember why i wanted to be a part of this. and why i wanted to get out of louisville. so i'm re-sorting that part of me some. get back on an even keel, you know?
(also, it's not like i didn't meet some nice guys while i was away. nobody talked flirtily to me-- was among the fattest chicks there and was more than a little antisocial due to being exhausted. but i made connections! so that's at least a start. i'm sending emails off in the coming week to everyone i met and send some pictures from the convention. should be a good start. i just wish i'd gotten tobias' info. he seemed stunned by me, at least.)
am still terribly broke. am only working a few hours a week, now, until i switch the schedule myself. which i'm going to do, if only to get myself more work hours. have bills to pay, books to buy, a car to fix.
speaking of, yay! my brother's giving me his buick. it needs a paint job (not from maaco, which is for shit), new brakes (not expensive, so i could get them, i think, and have my dad show me how to put them on), and an alignment (more than i can pay, thus i may leave it to my brother to do)... but it should be in decent working order thereafter. may even replace the radio, since it got stolen. ugh.
absolutely not tired. could be, but ain't. this is bad news, as i have to get up early tomorrow.
alright. will talk about my trip next week. still trying to get settled. haven't even been home a week, yet. did y'all miss me, in the meantime?
