And I am back from the dead! SWEET!

Last week was RIDICULOUSLY crazy, mainly because getting to my conference sucked. It takes up WAY too much space to tell the story here so I'll just summarize:

1) My flight out of town was delayed an hour because they couldn't find a plane
2) Despite running through Chicago's airport, I missed my connecting flight and the subsequent connection
3) I got a new connecting flight but I didn't get the standby position on the flight to my final destination
4) I met a bunch of other people going to the conference who also didn't get on that last flight, so we all got a rental car and drove down to Salisbury
5) We drove through dense fog that devoured the space around us... so creepy, like driving into a void.
6) I got to my hotel at 5:30 in the morning, got put in the wrong room, and had to go back
7) I had 45 minutes of sleep before I had to drive out to the airport to try to collect my luggage
8) my luggage wasn't there
9) I ended up giving my poster on <1 hour of sleep and in slept-in tshirt and jeans
10) The weather was gorgeous!
11) After 12 hours of flying on the way home, I had to pull another almost all nighter to finish quantum homework
12) I had an MRI done Wednesday and it was really really really really freaky (even though I've had one before... the tube narrows at the place you enter from.... has anyone seen "The Jacket?"... I'm not claustrophobic, but really that was not fun)

That about sums it up. I managed to finish all my homework for the week so I am going to do some writing for the MadCityWriters Group tomorrow. Lots of poetry floating in my head. Lots to do and think about. A lot of confusion about the future. Bah. My angsty side is coming out again. *squooshes it*

Oh, why did you have to have an MRI? Everything OK??? Also, are you planning on coming to visit me in May? Just wondering, I've got lots of stuff going on, and I know you do too! Love you.

Stories I'm currently working on.

***Tbook1 (Time and Chaos, needs a new name, needs to be edited)

***Book of Sun (Just needs to be edited. Tis a Nano novel)

***Book of Whispers part 1 (Does not jive at all with part 2; needs to be rewritten to fit and to have less suckage)

***Book of Whispers part 2 (Needs some rehaul editing, needs some loose ends tied up, needs to fit)

***Book of Whispers part 3 (Needs to be finished... then needs to die o.o Not sure if I need a third part in the series)

***Dium's Story (Needs a point, progress, anything... needs to be integrated into Tbook1, since that is what it is a part of, mainly)

***Trio Story with Jackie and Louise (Maybe we should get together and work on this, guys)

***Demon Story (This is working out pretty good so far. I like the plot, it's a bit convoluted, and the characters are interesting)

***New Witch Story (It's only 30 pages long, dang)

***Dragon's Voices (This has SO much potential! wee!)
