roadtrip hiatus!
Ack, I am in the middle of crazy packing mode. I think I mentioned this once before, but I'm leaving in the morning to drive cross-country with my mother -- heading back to college for my senior year, except this time, with a CAR. I'm suddenly really excited about the prospect of school starting up again, after having spent the whole day dropping my eighteen-year-old brother off at college for his freshman year and listening to various college types talk about how awesome the class of 2011 is going to be, how much fun they're going to have, etc. I think I would be so good at being a college freshman now, if I were able to go back and do it again knowing what I now know, but I guess that is kind of the point of being a freshman, is being all new to the whole college thing and walking around looking clueless and hoping you figure everything out eventually. But yeah, I'm just having this whole rush of affection for all of the college freshmen right now. <3
But I am getting distracted from the point, which is: driving across the whole of the continental U.S.! Starting TOMORROW! I'm literally starting from as far east in Virginia as you can get and ending up in Southern California. My college isn't quite right on the coast, but my mom and I are talking about maybe just zooming right past our supposed stopping point and making for the Pacific, diving in the ocean and then retracing our steps a little. Sounds way more appealing than ending the trip in the DESERT, and I feel like if you're gonna say you've driven across the whole country, it's cooler if you can add, "From ocean to ocean, LITERALLY." :D!
So I'll probably be scarce around these parts for the next week or so (we're leaving tomorrow and planning on arriving on September 1st) but I'll hopefully pop in from time to time. I mean, Sam and Dean get wireless all over the country, right? Surely I can get some wireless SOMEWHERE. But I'm meeting up with the lovely balefully for lunch tomorrow and the also-lovely flamehail whenever we get to Tulsa, so YAY! And I'll be writing porn the whole way, don't worry. Probably genderswap. (I'm totally using that idea, sanyin, by the way.) I am really stupidly excited about the genderswap. It is stealing the thunder of everything else I am writing.
Except for theoret's and my sooper sekkrit project, but that is a totally different kind of fic than the long angsty genderswap and therefore unaffected by the thunder-stealing. \o/
Wow, I'm rambly. Anyway, hope you all have a lovely week or so, and I'll catch up with you when I get back. ♥
