Several note-like thingies

[serene]

Numbered lists are about the extent of my brainpower today:

1) Missed many fine parties the last few weeks, which I regret (tenacious_snail, babyfly, etc., I love and missed you!). Did make it to two lovely ones, though, and it was so good seeing klwalton and mackenzie get a fraction of the attention and adoration they deserve.

2) sogwife is really cute when she's all giggly.

3) The Month O'Solitude has begun, and when I think about having no open-door dinner policy, it makes me sad, so I take that part back. If you wanna drop in for dinner, you should do so, especially if you're fine with whatever silly vegan thing I happen to throw together. Dinner's at 7 every night except Saturday.

4) I think I'm going to do a science-fiction novel for NaNoWriMo. I've never written a word of science fiction before.

5) OKCupid is still fun. I'm enjoying chatting and flirting with people. Also, the more neat people I meet, the happier I am with my current situation, which I admit is a bit paradoxical, but there it is.

6) It is deeply satisfying to me that when we're out of bread, someotherguy doesn't run out to the store -- he asks me if I would mind making us some bread. He's all apologetic about it, but I don't know if he gets how happy it makes me that I make almost all of our bread.

7) Finances being what they are, I may not make it to alt.polycon in February. I mean, I'm still planning on going if we can afford it, but between the room ($421.83 plus tips), the plane or car (in excess of $300 either way), and spending money, we're talking about a month's pay for me, and I'm just not sure it's responsible of me to be doing that. Current plan is to see if I can amass enough extra income to make it less of a hit for us. Stay tuned.

I may be able to cover up to 2 nights of your hotel stay with my built-up Hilton points if you'd like. I'll have to check out that I can for sure, but I don't see why not.

The other thing to consider is that there is a helpfund if you need some help with getting there. You just need to ask. :)

You've had luck with OKCupid? I haven't had all that much.

how about dreadgeekgirl--didn't you meet her on okcupid?
i've met at least three people i've become good friends with off the site. i've also dated people--nothing stuck, but one of those people is now one of the good friends.
