I had a very nice time at elira's cottage this weekend. Given that, last year, the forest tried to eat us, it didn't have a lot of work to do to be a better weekend, but I'm still surprised by how much I enjoyed myself.

See, I went up with elira and two people I don't know very well/at all and usually, when the number of people I don't know outweighs the number of people I do know, I have a tendency to get cranky and mopey. I guess, to be honest, I was a little cranky and mopey this weekend, but I'm not sure anyone else really noticed. Is this progress? Perhaps!

I'm having difficulty bringing my head back to work now, however. Not a major problem as far as work-work goes since I am the only person not on vacation this week, so my job consists entirely of sitting in my boss's office and telling anyone who calls that all the qualified people are away and will call them back later.

It also means that I'm having trouble doing non-work-work. Like writing. Mostly writing. I seem to have the urge to write original fic? Or to start something new in a fandom I've never written for before. But at the same time, I'm suddenly petrified of writing anything new. Ah, well.

So, instead of being productive, I am sitting here at work, half-heartedly poking at my OFFICIAL DRIVER'S HANDBOOK and catching up on my music blogs (including an interesting article about how the CD destroyed good albums).

I mostly note this because that "What do you think of me?" meme that's been going around has revealed that a lot of you don't feel like you know me! So I guess I should randomly blather about my life more? YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW, GUYS.

EDIT: And now I am reading about Chocolate Wars. It's articles like this that remind me why I came to j-school to begin with.
