Being home is weird.

I was very sad to receive my First Speeding Ticket yesterday afternoon on my drive from Madison to my parents' house. The cop was sitting up on top of an overpass gunning cars like a jerk. I mean, yes, I was speeding, but still. I went no more than 5mph over the speed limit the whole rest of the way home, and was passed by at least 80% of the ( Read more... )

No, no, I don't think you said enough for the books to be ruined. Also, it's good to know that the book I got is the first one, and not the fourth!

Actually, Charnas' books were mentioned by L. Timmel Duchamp, and it was funny because Suzy McKee Charnas had just walked in the room. Duchamp was so flustered that she couldn't remember what she had been talking about.

GASP! You would consider buying something else instead of Horatio Hornblower? Blasphemy! ...I mean, do whatever you think is best ;)

Actually, as much as I love Hornblower, it is quite lonely-making. I can't even remember the last time I got somebody to watch any of it with me, much less stay awake during the whole thing. Sigh.

Oh, wow! Last summer I got my friends Ryan and Jennifer to watch it with me, and it was great. My dad also watched some of it with me, too.

Yeah, I guess I'll have to figure out whether to plead guilty or not guilty and all that jazz, but it'll depend on whether or not he shows up. Maybe I'll have to write up two plans of attack and bring them both, lol. Buuuuut, yeah. At this point I'm leaning towards being all apologetic and wide-eyed and telling them it was my first one, I was excited to get home because I haven't seen my family in a long time (true), etc.

Yay! I'm actually much more verbose (and articulate) when writing than when speaking. In person, it's sometimes more difficult for me to start up conversations with people I don't know. Like, I'm not awkward when I do it, but just more likely to not say anything in the first place. But yes! I'm pretty sure I'll be going next year. I'll be graduating from college, though (UW-Madison), and I'm fairly certain I'll be staying in Madison, although who knows. So, unless there are intense moving plans, I'll probably be there.
