lovely
Joe is watching the evolution of beanbag use in crowd control on the History Channel. Hmm. Watching people get shot by beanbags or professional wrestling. Which is worse?
I wish I had more time. I need a pill that eliminates sleep, I think. I have SO much that I'm doing and no time to do it all in. I'm so excited about my coursework...the development of my thesis, which really leaves me believing in new avenues for my life and career. School starts the 26th and this semester is going to be a bear. I'm doing an independent study in which I managed to wrangle the writing of my novel in conjunction with developing my thesis (my thesis is on creativity exercises for advanced writers). So I'm doing active research on my thesis, writing a novel, keeping a writer's notebook on process and production and in the midst of that, I'm editing Plum Ruby AND working fulltime...ten hours a day.
I want more time to read and to play. I got one of my favorite friends, Alex, started playing Everquest and I have NO time to even play it with him. Totally sucks. I have so much fun hanging out with him and by the time I will probably be able to play again he'll have LONG surpassed the level of my characters. sigh sigh. I even cancelled my Star Wars Galaxies account; I haven't played that in months.
I am trying to maintain some semblance of a social life, at least, and I do manage to get out and spend time with friends. Tomorrow I'm hanging out with my good friend Melissa and the night after, dinner with Joe's cousin, which is always good. And the weekend finds us having dinner with his parents and brother's family. I feel like my life is not my own sometimes. The problem with having a social life is that I get backed up on my writing and editing and housework and well...
Basically, it's REALLY good that life is busy. I love having direction, having purpose, knowing that I'm going to do amazing things in my future.
Oh, incidentally, The M.A.G. has taken three of my poems. :) Look for them in the mini-mag coming up and then in the biannual July issue.
