Easter

[dragonlady7]

So...
Will be traveling up to Melrose for Easter weekend. While in Buffalo last weekend I purchased necessary supplies for Easter, including holiday sausages from Redlinski's (and yes, we went to the Broadway Market!), so my family will be eating well this weekend and will become educated about how The Most Catholic City In America gets its Easter on.

However, we will be leaving late tonight and only staying until midday Sunday, so there will be much driving and little sleeping. Freaking... travel.
I hope I have enough time to do a couple loads of laundry. Dave has no socks.

In other news, not that any of you care, I've become a member of Henneth Annun, a Tolkien fanfiction site. Why? Because they premoderate, so only stories that have some redeeming value go up. So I've worked out one of the tangents on the story and have it up in their members area for critiquing, and am receiving help and compliments and some very, very necessary ego-stroking.
Ahhh.
It's just... nice. These people may be an eclectic collection of huge dorks, but they're my huge dorks, and they speak my language.

I miss being at school. And that's really what it comes down to. Academia, you were my home. People cared about arcane points. Writing was an acceptable pastime. Days were spent thinking about stuff, and that was O.K. It was... it was cool. Learning stuff, teaching stuff, the whole shebang.

Also, the impending visit of the Norwegians has given me the wanderlust. Lust, I tell you. I lust to wander. I want... Europe. I want to go there. I want to leave my house and go to a new place and see what it's like there. It's a dream, a desire, a compulsion.
I'm wondering if it ain't time to start lookin' at grad schools... in England. :)
