Um, I am crazy?

Cause, see, the thing is:

I just started a new semester of school

I just started a relationship (*smiles at ny_for_life*)

I have a roundtable to put together in the course of the next three weeks (THREE WEEKS OMG!)

I have to learn an entirely new preschool curriculuum because they bumped me up a year (I'm teaching the same kids, they're just older and being taught new things)



Want the crazy part? I'm really, really thinking I'm going to join a new RPG.

This is the time of year I was supposed to be going back to the Leaky, and to Afterglow. But I've missed too much. I can't jump back in...the plots have advanced too far, in directions I didn't know they were going to. I'll miss the friends I've made--but, in fact, my most regular partners aren't there anymore anyway. *sigh*

And Soulmate, and Moody Girl, and possibly Talkative are all going to be playing in this one. And are saying all these lovely tempting things about it. And I have a chance to flirt a lot and know things about martinis, and who doesn't want a chance like that? I think I could do fun things with this character, and I want to get back into RPing, into having an escape into a different world, into molding and shaping a person and her role.

So this is just me rambling, because I have a computer (class got out a little early) and I don't want to go and drive to work yet.

I am so nuts. But I really think I'm going to do it anyway. ^_~

Doing creative seamstressing. It's...an experience. Especially since apparently my sewing machine doesn't know how to sew the shawly material, so I'm having to do it by hand.

Also doing laundry. OMG so much laundry. And housework. OMG so much housework.

Go away world. I don't want to do practicalities.

Will be up until about four doing laundry tonight, filling in the space between loads with housework. When that's finished, I shall probably bake cookies. After the cookies I get to finally, finally try to catch up on my RPGs. Wouldn't be surprised if Remus had dropped Cymbeline or Ginny had found Draco's stash of drugs and gotten hooked in my absence (Molly really needs to get more involved in the lives of her children.)

The housework and the laundry are, of course, my fault, as I put off doing them and messed them up too often and now have to get them ALL done before my parents get back on a SEVEN O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING flight. Which I am picking them up from, have I mentioned that? After I deliver them home and there are kisses and presents (there had BETTER be presents..) I am going to go to MY home and crash. Hard. For hours on end.

Why hasn't anybody invented something that you can haul around the house and play DVDs on in all the rooms? Oh yeah...they have. The laptop. Why don't I have one?

...the jury is still out. But inclined to blame my father, who thought that a PC was a better idea. (?!?)

...There had BETTER be presents.

Had mad cleaning frenzy while the web was down this afternoon, so have actually accomplished quite a bit this weekend. The bathroom is clean, including the bloody shower (erm...not literally bloody), my closet is reorganised, and I have cleancleanCLEAN clothes and even bedclothes. I've sorted out what belongs in my parents' storage spaces for the winter, clotheswise, and what needs to be given to the DI.

Speaking of the DI: I BOUGHT A CHAIR!!! A huge, squishy, comfortable chair that I think I will live in. In good enough condition that it ought to be priced at like forty bucks but luckily there was no price posted and the guy who came out to tell me how much it ought to cost was susceptible to some beguiling smiles and friendly talk while he was making the pricing gun work. Fifteen!!!! I WIN!!!!


*sigh* I was tired, and catching up, and I was like, "Eh, I'll finish tomorrow, just read this fic that everybody is reccing all over the place." Okay, it was much longer than I was expecting. But OMG so worth it! Well-written, funny, touching, brilliant longfic. But I'm tired and worn, and completely ready to sleep now, so goodnight all.

Taking breather. Only 150 flist entries to go.

In between writing Remus's birthday party and...Crap, the dryer's stopped again!

RL people will probably call in a few hours. Thank heaven. I think my brain is going to explode.

All of you talk too much.

But I love your FABULOSITY anyway.

ETA:

Down to fifty. I love you all, and I apologise that if it couldn't be skimmed, I skimmed it anyway and missed everything.

ETA: Caught up. The little demon on my shoulder that was screaming at me about keeping up with my RPGs (three new riding-for-a-fall sits for Molly's kids) has been joined with a second one.

OKAY, OKAY, I GET IT: I WON'T LEAVE THE COMPUTER OFF FOR SO LONG EVER AGAIN!!

I have spent the weekend being a horrible person and a worse friend, and my only real excuse is that I have strep throat and keep getting distracted/having my sleep schedules messed up by it. And now I'm going to compound it with ( SPAM!! )

But I promise, all of you that I've been horrible to, I will do my best to be properly up and running by Monday at the latest.

Christmas shopping: Almost complete. Still need to do the grandparents and my big sister, also possibly the best friend. I have something for her, but I would like to have something perfect for her. Ady, shush, you are not permitted to protest. Also, cards addressed, will be stamped and mailed tomorrow when I check my box.

Going out of town--Florida--which I'm not thrilled about, but it's family, so what can you do? I would be more excited if there was a prospect of meeting a few of my friends there, but there isn't. *sigh* Coming back earlier than they are, as couldn't get away from work. Padma will disappear for that amount of time to--whoops, it hasn't been posted yet. *g*

Need to pack, clean tonight, and clean the car out, do a load of laundry, and shave my legs tomorrow. Joy.

( RL stuff. Flirting, etc. )

One of my kids made himself throw up yesterday. *h2k* And today we were missing four teachers and there was complete chaos. And then I had food handlers' permit class and heard disgusting stories and then left to collapse on Travis's floor. Then I came home and I am going to catch up on Leaky and flist and then dream the dreams of the weary because I am SO TIRED and have class insanely early tomorrow.

I am so sorry I haven't been around, and for all the stuff I'm missing, but I'm being run ragged right now...

Sweet dreams and love to flist!

ETA: Tamora. Pierce. COMING TO TWH. *freaks all over the place and then glomps TC a million jillion times*

Spent the evening at Jen's, getting to know her new friends...Liz (who I may have met at wahleecon (we were both there)) and Ben, who was extremely entertaining. Funny but also capable of intelligent conversations. In personality he resembles an even louder, male version of Amelia--Jen and I are going to set them up. *g*

And I AM going to go to bed at a decent hour tonight.

ETA: And I just discovered this:

Happy Birthday, Ranee!

When you start labelling your clothes in your head as "the sweater that is a metaphor of my personality"--? It's time to sleep a little more often.

Saturday I spent doing laundry, which subsequently made me brain-dead (laundry always does), which subsequently made me run stop signs entering the freeway. O.O My headache built to a raging crescendo, so Amy drove my car home (sssshhh, don't tell the people who really own the car). Saw Jen and her new dorm, and was sad because she will not be around as much. Said good-bye to my Jessi. Waaaaaah. I will miss her so badly. No more friendly human pillow. And Whitney's less ava too. I hate the end of summer.

FINALLY got my cell phone to work after trying for about a week, thank goodness, though I do have to put up with a new number, in order to confuse people as much as possible.

The project Convince Lu Anime Is WorthWhile is still going full-blast...I'm now under orders to watch Card Captor Sakura. So far it is meh.

Trying to write, and time just disappears...
