"We're all going on a summer holiday..."
Seems like we will quite possibly be in Crete, near Chania, with the whole family, meaning my mother and all my siblings and their spouses and kids, most likely between June 12th and 26th. Anyone live near there? My mother is turning 60 in a couple of weeks and this is what she wants to do instead of a party. She's going to pay some of the cost, otherwise we wouldn't be able to go. Just the flight for the four of us is around 218.000 ISK (3.450$ or 1.960 GBP) Sometimes living on a tiny island in the middle of nowhere is a pain in the arse. Especially when you're trying to get to another island in the middle of nowhere halfway across the world.
The flight takes 6 hours or so, I foresee lots of alcohol and writing porn on the way. Erm... yes and the kids will need entertainment as well, I guess. *writes down 'Valium and comics'*
You people who live near beaches, not a good place to take a laptop to write, is it? All that sand. *ponders* Could have a notebook on the beach and then type it up on the laptop later. You don't really expect me to be without gay vampire porn for 2 weeks, do you? And there is an internet cafe close by so I won't be completely out of the loop. Mum has been there twice before and she says it's great and very good food. Yes, because I need that. *pats tummy* Every one in my family has become so skinny and just the thought of sprawling on the beach is quite horrifying. Like a big white stranded whale. *sighs*
This does however put our plans to go visit my dad on hold for another year. The little guy will not be so little anymore when he finally gets to see his grandfather. Frankly I can't be bothered too much about that since my dad hasn't shown any interest in coming here and so if there is to be any contact between us beyond the x-mas/birthday calls and presents and maybe 2-3 other phonecalls each year we have to come to him. Never mind that he has lots of money and we don't. Never mind that when he says 'but I will help out' he means slipping me a few bills that maybe, just maybe, will cover 1/10 of the whole trip. *sighs* Sorry, bittersweet_art, visiting you will have to be postponed for another year.
In other news my new story is swallowing me whole but there are a few things bothering me. Like how totally OOC they sound at times and maybe I should just drop the pretense and call it an original story. But then there are other moments where it's just so much them and... I don't know. I mean, they are teenagers and so of course they will sound a bit different, plus there will be changes soon. And then sometimes I read the whole Big Important Scene over and it's so damn good and then I read it over again a bit later and it's just not really grasping it because I want it to really hit people in the gut. It's for scenes like this that I wish I could show you the images I have in my head.
I have 21 pages now and it's going to go on for quite some time. Not sure when to start posting. Might even need a beta for this one because I want it to be just perfect. Yeah, yeah, I know I should use betas for everything but... *sticks fingers in ears* Lalala.. I can't hear you...
