Happy 10:13!!!

Reader's Circle tonight!  It's fun, it's exciting, it's books!  And, yeah, could I be any more geeky?

I stayed home yesterday, due to a sore throat that made speaking my least favorite activity.  My glands are no longer swollen, though, so I'm back in the saddle at work today.  Still not sure if it's allergies, or a cold, or some type of infection; but it seems to be healing itself, so I can avoid the doctor if the swelling is completely gone by tomorrow.

I'm still slogging through the same gothic novel I've been reading on and off for a couple of months; now with a haunted castle!  I also took some time out from reading that to reorganize my printed-out fanfic, and read an extreeemely trashy romance novel, that was so bad I will not be discussing it tonight.  One of those jobs where there is no character development, and the plot is too derivitave to be taken seriously in any way.  It had a plot like swiss cheese; for example, one of the main characters gets shot at, and doesn't tell anyone, or worry about it, or bother to take any interest in figuring out who shot at him. It kinda made me sad, because I've read other books by the same author that I thought were really creative, plot-wise.  Next up, HP revisited.  That should have me finishing book 6 right around the time book 7 gets delivered.

And, as an added bonus, concert! after the book meeting.  One of our original members is in a band, and they're having their first show tonight, so we will all stick around and applaud wildly.

It seems silly to do a 'weekend update' on Wednesday, so I'm gonna skip it.  It was a weekend, I had fun, I wish it was still a weekend.  'Nough said.  There will most likely be a happy hour tomorrow, and some other activities for the coming weekend.

I have several friends who are moving out of town. I need an efficient way of communicating with them, that will not take away from anything else going on in my life, or bore them to tears.

One of them said, "Hey, I have a live-journal. You should have one, too." And after a rather lengthy diatribe, where I cursed Blogger(tm) and some people I used to hang with, I sullenly agreed to try this.

Said helpful, rant-inducing friend even sent me a friendly little reminder e-mail today, saying that it would behoove me to get my account set up before he moved thousands of miles away, and could no longer bug me about it. One of the other moving-friends has already left, after all. So, I started trying to set this up.

And discovered that someone is already using my screen name.

Now, this {Willow25} used to be my e-mail address in college, before I had to switch to a more professional, name-based e-mail address. It's also my nom de plume in two fan-fic communities. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper.

For now, I am persevering. I found a close approximation of my desired name to used as my ID, and set up the account. I am even writing this post. I just hope to hell that those of you reading in foreign lands, and other parts of the country, appreciate it.

(blows a raspberry at everyone outside the DC Metro area)
