Hey there, all...
Long time, no post, eh? A lot of stuff has happened since last time. I guess the best thing is the final snap of the depression that's been gripping me for a month or so, thanks in no small part to Arlekin, Eliahn and a few other people who knew exactly what to say and when to say it. Thanks you guys for working with me, even when I was being difficult and whiny. I totally, totally appreciate it.
I've started to save up for buying Arlekin's car, but wasted the rest of my money on restaurants and mini-golf. I'll be eating in for the rest of the week, I suspect, and I'll have to see about someone taking me to donate plasma once or twice this week, just to have a cushion and spending money or something.
A lot of people have given me flack for my decision to move, and it caused me no end of consternation. I mean, really, why is it such a bad thing? Do people really believe that I'm not thinking about money, transportation and/or opportunities? It's like people think I am destined to fail if I do *anything* different; Fayetteville is where I belong and I'm too irresponsible to manage anything more. Heh, I really do know that all of the questions and comments are made out of a genuine concern and well-wishing. It's still frustrating at times, though.

The Weekly Beating this Saturday was an insanely...interesting affair. I'm sure several people will spazz about it in their LiveJournals (one already has, I see), so I won't go into details here out of respect for those involved. Oddly enough, it was one of the better Beatings I had attended; mainly because it was a lot smaller and a bit more subdued than most. I'm such a wussy-baby; no loud noises for me!
This week is just more of the same. I decided that by Mabon, 2007, I'll have been professionally published, and quite a few more steps on my way to actually making a living through performance and/or writing. Of course, I'm half-expecting the world to end by then or something, but it's nice to have goals.
I've also decided that I'm not going to expect to make MFF. If I can somehow manage to save enough money for the car, take care of all the bills (including buying gas for the house), and maybe even get my driver's liscence....I *just* might. Vince Suzukawa from <a href="http://www.theclassm.com">The Class Menagerie</a> will be there, as well as several friends I don't get to see all that often. I would *like* to go, but...I have other things that I need to do first.
I'm planning to visit Austin and Toronto at some point, probably Austin first since it's closer. Just to visit friends who are already there, and to check out the city and see how neat a place it is to live.
Things to do at some point this week:
<ol><li>Write <a href="http://boomerexpress.keenspace.com">Boomer Express</a> for the month of October.</li>
<li>Call the gas company about getting the tank filled, now that the weather's turning.</li>
<li>Start writing for "Larger Than Life" again, and encourage other folks to do the same.</li>
<li>Take care of several long-neglected e-mails, and get in touch with folks I haven't spoken to in a while.</li>
<li>Write descriptions for Tapestries characters.</li>
<li>Keep track of eating and spending habits.</li></ol>
That's all I can think of for right now...but I'm sure there's more. Happy Autumn, all! It's the best time of year. :)
