blasphemous words
There is mention of that, that WHITE STUFF again, today. For tonight, and possibly into tomorrow. WE--STILL--ARE BLANKETED! (You know you like that irregular syntax for emphasis. You know you do.) Granted, most everywhere (save the sidewalks right next to the road where the snowplows relocated mountains of snow so that no one can walk anywhere) has only about 6 inches or so left. Only six inches. My little (well, giant for his breed) pug was so happy! He pranced around the back garden with his stubby forelegs engaged in manic high kicks, sending plumes of snow ahead of him to chase after. He's such a nutter. Adorably so.
I think back in the temperate month of November or early December they closed school for that or something. Half day? The OTHER big blizzard this winter (the Saturday before Christmas, that was a clusterfuck, too) was, a Saturday, and didn't affect school. Well, maybe that Monday it was closed. It's all a blur. There's been so many school days added to the end of the calendar this year that the local summer camps have canceled their first week of camp.
It only took a week before the county realized that caterpillar + dumptruck = snow REMOVAL.
And if I don't check the weather report, it's all hearsay, and I can ignore it. Right? Right! Because I have no work tomorrow! A DAY OFF!
I want to keep writing (fanfic). I just need something to really catch me. Maybe I should be careful what I wish for . . . I have too many disparate ideas and really no clue where exactly any of them lead. And I'm not going on a wild goose chase . . . I need to have some, at least a sliver of where the story will end up. It's almost easier to write backwards. Then I won't have a monster that I can't finish. I'm keeping my eyes out for prompts that grab me. We'll see. I have a fic that I know isn't going to work how it is, I think it can be chopped up into two seperate stories, or something, but I gotta figure out what.
Same goes for original writing. Honestly tho, I think my mom would have to be dead before I'd let any of that go public. Too many permutations of things too real, and she'd take it all the wrong way. Heh. It might take it that long for me to get it all sorted and on paper, anyway. If ever.
My sister and my niece might be moving down here. Her on again/off again/but mostly on/boyfriend and baby daddy (that's not as Jerry Springer as it sounds, neither one of them has even looked at anyone else, they just still have some growing up to do) has taken a job about 45 mins. away from my home--but over 4 hours away from where my whole family lives. I'd be too sunk at that falling though to let myself get too happy about it now. But she's also as stubbornly independent as Ed (heh, all three of us are!) and kicked my spastic ass outta her life some years ago. As she's grown up I've filtered back in, but, I've been doing that from two states away, and, that's not quite the same.
My kids would be nuckin'futz if their cousin was nearby. It would be awesome. 8, 5, 4, and 3. Noisy bunch, those four.
