Future Plans

They always do seem to get screwed up, don't they?

All, really, that anyone can do is start going through with them anyway, planning for contingencies like mad, especially with the "no one gets hurt" variety plans. My combat MP are probably lower than I'd want them to be. To achieve peace, first prepare for war?*

*Not me. Some dead character, probably Chinese, probably the one who's overquoted by MNVK.

I have plans for my future. I want to settle down and get married, build a household, finish my novel, work happily, probably have a kid somewhere in there. American Dream, eh?

I refuse to allow ominous portents to shake me from my goal. I will, however, keep alert and armed...

Are the ominous portents that you're speaking of ones I've already commented on elsewhere, or are you having your own, separate ones?

If the former, why would they interfere in your goals? Being a Guardian hasn't interfered in my marriage, after all...though I suppose one could, in a round about fashion, decide that it did somewhat interfere with my first one (though I think that was entirely my own doing, separate from the Calling.)

If he has no problem with your religion, why would he have a problem with your Calling on top of it?

It's the "potentially getting badly hurt" aspects that would have problems with my plans.

Ah. Well, you could just as easily get in a car accident next time you get on the freeway. It doesn't bear thinking about, or accounting for in your long-term plans. It might; it probably won't. Begin as you mean to go on.

Right. With lots of hugs, or at least random loving knocks to the noggin. (I love how he cheers me up/wakes me up...)

Query, not request: if you are online and responding to LJ stuff, why are you not on IM? (Yeah, I wonder about the strangest things.)

Because I didn't bother to turn on the IM programs after rebooting, except for Y! to watch for mail (I'm silenceshadow on that).

Same class of portents, and the local variety thereof. My mad l33t divination skillz say that "Nothing we would have expected" so be on the lookout for some very weird angles coming along. The paranoia took hold then, and commented, "When we meet the aliens, they will be us." Bonus points for recognizing the source of paraphrase.

"We have met the enemy, and they is us." The only reference that brings to mind is Bloom County, though. No idea if that's accurate, or even if it is, whether they got it from someone else...

Actually, I was in fact referring to LMB's plot for the Vorkosoverse: the Cetagandans are already getting quite along there, in terms of "alien".

I read that recently. I think it might have been in her GoH speech from a con. She said she won't be introducing any aliens into the series. Rather, humans will be modified in so many ways that "by the time we meet the aliens, they will be us", or something like that.

You got the closer to original wording of the two of us, I think.

I need to come back from nomail.

I'm not even on the list. Of course, all my email right now is Hotmail, so I'm afraid of most mailing lists atm.

Sounds like fun. My hotmail's mostly spammed up, and I just keep it because that's my legacy address that I gave people I haven't heard from in years.

Keyword from shower: civil war.
