I'm so very glad that my feet have warmed now. Earlier I could only feel the very tips of my toes and now I'm back to having the rest of the feet in function. I'm wondering if my job has something to do with making the circulation in them even worse. I thought moving around would make it better, but I could be wrong.
And again, tonight, as is often, I really just want to escape into some fantasy. I guess it's really nothing new, for me or anyone. Just I have a stronger desire to do it than usual now. I should be writing; that is the quickest way to lose myself.
I've finally found a world that all of my original characters can share. Well, save one. I still need to find a place for him to fit. My dearest Octavian. He was the first vampire character that I truly created without the intention of having some knock off slayer dust him. I suppose he was just supposed to be the big baddie of the novel I was trying to write at the time, but... I'm never going to let him die. He's too much my baby to let any real harm come to him. So I've been working on turning him into a more... benign? figure. Something not inherently evil, just made out to be so by the creature he is.
Anne Rice's books always make me think of him. I think that's why I like reading them so much.
My taxes have been done. I got my state returns today! And so I have little more money before I get paid on Friday, and my federal returns should come around the same time. I'm going to buy a couple of manga for myself, a new dry erase board, and some markers for it. The rest will probably go to necessity. Though I think I'm going to transfer some of it into savings for June.
I'm still intensely excited about that. Jennikun and Starzie are supposed to come see me, and we'll go to the anime convention that'll be in Richmond then. I'm thinking Cookie will come too. At least, I really want him to. He's been to the last two I've attended with me. It's something I'm glad we've gotten to share.
But, I seriously digress. Or at least, I'm distracting myself from doing any actual writing. This is how my muse stalls me; he makes me write in my journal instead v.v
