it's cold in the CTC
but arne and i are here anyway, freezing our asses off, because we need the internet and arne won't pay ten pesos an hour to stay in the dorm business center. well, that's probably because he's not a dormer and therefore doesn't have the lazy attachment to his bed on weekends that all dormers appear to develop.
i felt like writing again yesterday and the result is (as usual) a bunch of characters and a very loose plot. nothing special; in fact, though i feel that the ideas are particularly interesting and have great potential, i doubt if they'll actually get to be written at all. i'm even rather frustrated to be bogged down on Marforius as well... once the core four got on the ship and set sail on their journey around the ancient world, i got quite flummoxed as to how to proceed...
here's the thing: if they were to stop at the following places, what would be the logical arrangement?
* mesoamerica
* china
* spain (near the end of the story, since it solves the main conflict)
* gaul
* normandy
* persia
bearing in mind that they came from greece and will return there...
think, think, think.

by the way: it's a little odd to be reading about the new loves of former, uh, admirers. while i accept it because we have always remained friends, and are in some ways closer than we could ever have been for what we have gone through together (fights and hatred and tears and comfort and dependence)... i realize that some would find it strange. hell, i find it strange. and though i know it would never have worked out - and in certain cases, no, in most cases i wouldn't have wanted them to begin, much less work out anyway... sometimes, i can't help but feel this leeeetle twinge of irrational jealousy because that one for whom i was once the world now has made a new life more or less without me. and in a tiny corner of my heart that hurts. i am, whatever happens, a selfish person... and i really need to learn to let go.
