I am here, all alone...

[rachelmanija]

Everyone is at WisCon or some other convention or excursion, and the ones who aren't are out having fun on this bright weekend. I packed some boxes, watched some Angel (but won't report on it till the other fans return from WisCon), then took my laptop to Starbucks and wrote ten pages of my manga. I haven't had time to write much lately, so that was good.

While looking over my notes about flower symbolism for the characters, I discovered this, written God knows when:

"If Ellie has roses then they can intertwine with [censored for spoilers]'s orchids and it will be so cool!"

It's nice to be my own fangirl.

I'm not having fun.

You know, that does not actually make me feel better.

Sorry! I'm trying to get the house picked up and (cursorily) cleaned (do not think Martha Stewart here). This involves getting three teenagers to actually DO THEIR HOUSEWORK.

In theory, they agree that as part of the family they should share in the cleaning duties, etc.

In reality, they are teenagers in a luxury society.

That's why I'm not having fun.

I'm here. Just got back on as the thunderstorm moves off.

Yes, we've been getting boomers in May. This week's been like the start of monsoon season. Six weeks early. We have a houseguest flying in tonight -- I hope her plane isn't delayed too long.

Believe me, I know the feeling. It's the first time in five years I've missed Wiscon and I am missing it terribly. But there is nothing going on anywhere else because everyone has either gone to Wiscon or is doing something else. I'm tempted to just go to sleep until Tuesday.

Not at Wiscon. Also have no nice weather.

But fangirling yourself is nifty.

I'm not at WisCon, but I am at Baycon. I had planned to go to WisCon (which I haven't been to in 16 years, since that was when I left grad school and Madison behind), but I will be going to World Fantasy, which is also in Madison, and I don't want to go twice in one year. Especially after avoiding it for 16 years.

I'm sure this doesn't make you feel much better.

I'll add you to my fangirl pantheon, though.

You are not alone: I'm not at Wiscon and not having much fun, either.

Yesterday turned out nice, weatherwise, but it is raining again this morning. Maybe if I try transplanting more things it will turn sunny again.
