Yesterday was interesting. I didn't get a lot of work done (oops) but we had our first meeting. People droned on about safety and not doing things alone without contact for medical help. I learned I can take a walk around the telescope whenever I want (so will probably do one this afternoon). We also talked about a whole ton of cool activities that we might do on weekends. So now we have 6 people here for the summer: Me, my roommates Diana and Tracy, and the guys: Elvin (sp?), Ali, and Ethan. There was a little introductory party in the afternoon by the pool and I talked to one of the British Guys, then shmoozed a bit with the awkward guy from Cornell and got some names of people to talk to (I think that I'd really like going there for grad school). I was preparing to spend another night putzing around on the computer, but then I wandered out for a walk and a talk with Ethan, and Diana came out to meet us and tell us she was bored. So we decided to go for a drive. I took my cell phone and was able to call my mom and my sister and my dad when we got down to Arecibo, and discovered that all my ID card problems were now major problems. shootshootshoot. But then something happened to turn the whole evening upside down. Atlantic. Ocean. ... ... ... ... I took no pictures. It was too dark out anyway. But there's no way a picture would suffice. The wind. The dark sand disappearing into the horizon And then you go down a dune, stumbling blindly because you can't see the changes in elevation in the dark, and the whole world opens... the horizon like an old wound, dark water and clouded sky stitched together in the distance. and lightning flickers to one side, and the water curls itself around your ankles and pulls at you. The horizon is hungry, like a mouth open but silent, and the wind rushes past you and the you sink into the sand a little bit more with every wave, and it goes on forever ... Labels: Arecibo |

***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!) | |
