Greetings from Oz!
Well, not Oz, but Kansas. That's close, right?
So, yes my loves, I'm in Kansas now. Settling into life with my incredible, wonderful, absolutely awesome girlfriend. Did I mention that I'm in love? Oh, well, just in case... yeah, I've fallen hard. All the way to Kansas. I'll be visiting the norhtheast as often as possible. There are so many friends back there that I already miss. Plus, do you HONESTLY think I could live the rest of my life in KANSAS? No, both me and woman-of-my-dreams are moving back to the northeast. Probably not the Boston-Metro area, but probably within an easy drive of Boston. In the meantime, we're doing little home improvements. I finished some projects yesterday... garden on the back patio, finishing a cedar chest, etc. We're also looking for a new bed, getting ready for a big barbeque this weekend with some friends, and a bigger thing next weekend.
So, yeah... this weekend... I had considered taking an impromptu trip to New Orleans. As some of you know, I'm going to Prophecy and Sectus, but hadn't planned to go to Phoenix Rising. Because I'm closer to Lousisiana from here, I'd thought about just going, but there are so many things going on here. If it weren't for the barbeque this weekend, I'd go, but between all the things going on here, and the fact that I just purchased the plane tickets for the other two conventions, I decided to stick with the original plan. So, to all the people who were hoping I'd change my mind and go to PR... sorry loves. But, come visit me in Kansas? A few of us are actually considering holding an "unofficial convention" sometime this year. Basically, a major slasher's get-together. More on this later.
In other news... I've been carving wands like crazy. I'm getting much better at this, and some of my pieces are absolutely gorgeous. I might be getting a vendor's table at Sectus, depending on how many I carve by the end of next month. I'm putting one wand in the charity art show at Sectus, too. I hope to have at least 50 completed, and my biggest hope is to be able to cover the cost of attending the conventions this summer with the sale of my wands. (I'm taking orders!)
And finally... I'm sorry, I haven't posted the first installment to the sequel to Eclipse yet. "Convergence" has taken a back-burner to moving, settling in, and everything else going on. I just haven't been in a writing mindset. I promise, soon. *sigh* Someone hold me to that, okay?
Anyhow, I've got to get going. We're heading out for the activities of the weekend. I'll talk to everyone soon. And... SQUEE! The conventions are coming up! (People at PR... tell me how it goes, okay?)
*hugs*
