azurelunatic: Quill writing the partly obscured initials 'AJL' on a paper. (quill)
Today ruled.

When I got there, [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa and [livejournal.com profile] hcolleen were already there. I had come up with a writing prompt for [livejournal.com profile] hcolleen to write on the board ("Everything was backwards"), and there was a lot of happy fun talking about stuff in general before getting down to business. We had another new person today. I still can't remember [livejournal.com profile] hcolleen's friend's name, the one who's very defensive about her writing.

Constance McNeill tackled me in the shower last night. Constance is a new character who just came out of fucking nowhere, and she already has quirks. The writing prompt actually provided me with a viable way of introducing her. I am collecting characters. This is a good thing.

We went around the room and shared stuff. Fun was had by all. [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa wound up actually figuring out how to start off some project that she'd been planning to do.

The last hurrah at Cafe Fiat was excellent. The food was good as per the usual, and there was actual chocolate cheesecake -- on the last day we'll be meeting there, figures! [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa and I shared the last piece of Double Chocolate and a piece of chocolate swirl.

M wound up tailoring writing challenges to the individual. I am to write a mundane heterosexual affair without dialogue. I may fudge the requirements a little and include some "She gasped loudly, then yowled his name so loudly the neighbors started pounding on the walls" and so forth, but no actual conversation, no actual ... well, the lead-in may well have to have meaningful dialogue so that I can stand to write it and I'll know what the characters are actually doing besides fucking with great glee and abandon. It is horribly difficult for me to write romance that does not include the supernatural, because I write what I know. And I do not do a good job of having romance that does not include the supernatural.

I think that Constance is going to be the one having the affair.

[livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa explained tabletop gaming to [livejournal.com profile] azwriter. Something tells me that [livejournal.com profile] azwriter is going to jump in wholeheartedly and do her darnedest to raise her girls as Good Little Gamers. Pocky was also explained. There was joking with subtext, pickles, and whipped cream. All normal good clean fun. [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa was not freaked out by us being wild and crazy, because that's what normally happens around our friends...

There was much bus-giggling. [livejournal.com profile] trystan_laryssa and I snarked at a particular asshat driver. She wanted to remember my spur-of-the-moment comment, which was something to the effect of: "Who ripped off your dick and replaced it with a stick of pocky?"

I wound up dropping by her place for half an hour or so before catching one of the last buses home. Loren was there. Good filking fun was had by all.

I pray thee, miss, have we been introduced? I would not presume upon the bounds of courtesy and claim false acquaintance; truly, thy countenance looks passing familiar to me, and yet I cannot recall how we have met, if met indeed we have.

Either my chiller is on and I am too cold (not enough blankets) and dehydrated (too much wind) or the chiller is off, and either I can't sleep from overheating, or I get a sleep hangover when I do wake up.

This needs to get fixed.

I should, when I'm sufficiently awake to walk, talk, and make emotional and logical sense (right now I'm one big klutzy incoherent nerve ending) go down to the office to ask what the time frame on the thermostat replacement is. (I'm guessing they had to order the part.)

This needs to get fixed soon.

(10:04:02) [wibbble]: For when you return: do you get the messages I'm sending to azurelunatic@gmail.com? I don't think that iChat's jabber support is up to it...
(10:04:02) azurelunatic : Sorry, I ran out for a bit!


I have returned. (1:55 pm.) No, I haven't been. Alas. If only I had, then my answer would be different!

Spending some time with the Figment. His computer has 95, too old for Google talk. Alas, if only it were XP.
