After a rather long work week, I still sitting at my work computer working on my first short story in a terrible long time. Because my computer decided two weeks ago that it was ready for retirement, I have resulted to long nights at my work desk doing non-work related stuff.
Since I just came back from a roadtrip, I am using that as the setting for this story and I am using one of my carmates as a starting point for the character; this person in particular was a source of annoyance, so I am using this as an opportunity to try and explore situations and backgrounds to impressed upon that may explain why she acts the way she does.
On a personal note, I am missing my friends. I am living in another country and all my "other" friends are oceans away. Their messages are like being inland and feeling the ocean's breeze; refreshing and teasing. It would be better if I was at the ocean. This leads me to not being super excited about going out tonight with my new friends. It seems the dynamic of our relationships, or lack their of, is becoming very routine. I know it takes two to tango, but sometimes I just wish I did not have to dance.
That being said, only positive thoughts and actual actions will get me out of this self-made slump.
Off to dinner and then drinks. I miss my wombie and danster and loser buttmuch head. I do get to see the Nutcracker tomorrow, the highlight of my week's end, and if I am lucky, a Swede!!
