tuesday afternoon reflections
just finished the outstretched shadow by mercedes lackey and some guy i hadn't heard of before. it's been a while since i've read a traditional fantasy novel -- high school, anyway. i used to live off of those things. fantasy books pretty much helped create the person i am now, from being wild-minded and intelligent to my bizarre religious ideas. i've got a massive tale of it stewing in my head, but it will take a while to write. suffice it to say that fantasy books were the most important thing that has ever happened to me in my young life.
i was planning on giving my two weeks' notice to elder beerman but i wimped out at the last minute. i am, however, going to write a note that says as of the 22nd i will not be able to work. for one, i most desperately do not want to be working on christmas eve, but i know that i undoubtedly will be. also, julie gets home on the 23rd, and for the most part, i only get to see her once a year (our colorado vacation was an exception).
i am slowly getting better at morrowind. and by getting better i mean that i'm playing it a lot. my first character is on level 8 and has convinced the first ashlander tribe that she's the nerevar. the second one, well, i probably went into it a bit too soon, as she's only level 6 and is in the ancestral tombs right now. probably will get pwned. i should go back to balmora and level up a bit, but now that i'm here i hate to have to go back. i do like her traits better, though ... i would just scrap both of the characters and start over, but i hate having to do all of that starting out stuff.
i turn nineteen on saturday. whoo. who cares. though i will be getting stuff. mom is a bit sad that i won't actually be waking up at home on my birthday (i'll be down in columbus from a get-together of the OU group), but i figure it's better than driving home in the wee hours.
not too much to say other than that. i've got a growing list of to-do stuff, most of which consists of decorating the house for christmas, as that has fallen on my shoulders this year, and working on the dollhouse. all of the wiring is completed & glued down, which is incredibly exciting, and the roofs are glued on. i wish i knew where my camera was, so i could take pictures, but i still haven't unpacked all of the way (that's also on my list of to-do stuff). Hopefully it shall reveal itself pronto.
