If Rebecca gets a real job, when will she write her fanfiction?
Is it sad that for me, the biggest drawback of my new job is having less time to work on my fanfiction? (Yes, it is.) Actually, I really spent too much time reading/writing fanfiction anyway, so that's probably a good thing. But I do have two half-finished stories due within a month that I need to get cracking on.

- SLEPT IN!
- Made turtle-style brownies with caramel and walnuts and ate them with ice cream.
- Enjoyed some beautiful fall weather.
- Watched the Star Trek: Generations movie with Sara -- and almost died laughing at a priceless scene of Guinan riding a merry-go-round unicorn!
- Took a nap in the middle of the afternoon.
- Enjoyed dinner at Chili's, courtesy of Sara. I had my favorites: sweet potato fries, buffalo chicken with blue cheese, and a giant cookie for dessert. Yum!
- Bought myself three things that I'd been wanting for some time: more yarn, a full-length mirror for my closet door (although I still have yet to hang it), and my own copy of Les Miserables! I found a great hardback copy on sale at Barnes & Noble. I can't wait to make notes in the margins!
