Concentrate...concentrate...concentrate...echo...echo...
I should be doing payroll. I want to be writing. I am faffing around on LJ. I've also noticed I'm taking a little too much of how my character talks and applying it to my own speech. The English have some really good words that sound stupid when Americans say them, but they're still really good words - like faffing and smashing and right - yes, we say smashing and right, but they mean breaking something and a direction to turn here. Spiffing is another good word that people would make fun of me for using. Still occasionally I can't help myself.
The election was simply spiffing.
See? Isn't that just a smashing word? Right. Moving on.
I don't know what to do with myself now that I don't have polling numbers to check. Within minutes of the election being over, I took all the political flair off my board at Facebook. I don't care what happened when Sarah Palin got off the plane in Alaska. At the moment, I could care less who Obama names ambassador to the Federated States of Micronesia. I'm done with politics for now and I don't want to hear about it. I just haven't found something new to obsess about yet (except English words I'm not allowed to use without feeling like a wannabe and looking like a nutter*) and I feel adrift.
*another word I'd like to use and can't - stupid ancestors and your need to find a better life in America! I could have had bad teeth and a cool accent, but no you had to come to Indiana to swim in corn. Immigrants sheesh.
