| | It's been a long while, I guess, so here are some facts:
1. I'm still alive, and my hair is getting very long.
2.I'm no busier than I've ever been, but I have less inclination to be on my computer. That may change tomorrow, because
3. I'm getting a new laptop, the first new computer I've bought since 2001 (my desktop is 2003, but I didn't buy it).
4. I have a round trip ticket to New York, the time between flights being very nearly a month. I am excited and also nervous about being away from home for that long.
5. I am super excited about being able to see NY friends more than the usual once or twice a year.
6. I am on the hunt for garden party attire, and you have no idea the consternation and delight this is causing me.
7. I scrubbed the bathtub sparkling clean about twenty minutes ago, and am about to take a bath with a book and some tea and a shocking abundance of bubbles.
8. I've discovered that I am quite good at saving money, after all. Who knew? Not me.
9. I have an eye appointment tomorrow with my favorite eye doctor. I am getting new contacts and new glasses, both.
10. We're having boys' night out tomorrow night -- Tom and Stefan and I are going to see I Love You, Man. Only I'm not a boy. Shhh.
11. I think, much to my dismay, having always preferred a different sort of monster, that I am turning into a werewolf. Or Mr. Hyde. My teeth feel unusually sharp today, and dogs keep barking at me. I offered Michael and Tom several situations they may find themselves in ("what if all my bones started cracking and reshaping themselves, and I was screaming and there was blood everywhere from my skin splitting, and I became this terrifying monster and started eating everyone, what would you do?" "Well, are you going to change back into you?" "You don't know! I just all of a sudden became a monster and I'm eating everyone! You have no idea if I'll ever not be a monster again!" "I'd still be your friend."), and their answers stifled my anxiety that once having become a monster, I'd lose all my friends.
12. I may be reading too much folklore research on the internet.
