Oh dear, I AM a geek, and it is SO fun. Today is also Towel Day for Douglas Adams fans (like me) and the Glorious 25th of May for Terry Pratchett fans (like me)-- okay, just TAKE a look at my "friends" page today, the Discworld community has gone all lilacked out. It's hilarious, even for a solemn occasion! (And if you don't understand, this is where the librarian comes in and says "Read 'Night Watch.' NOW." ) Now will people besides myself one day celebrate Billy's birthday on this date too? (As for why today is his birthday, I'm not sure. I think it started out as the 5th and then I forgot and made it the 27th and then after playing around with the dates it landed on the 25th and JUST SEEMED RIGHT, so I had to leave it there. It's always most definitely been in May though. I don't know why that, either). Yes, Tracie, I'm still writing about Billy, and will continue to do so until the rest of the world loves him as I do! Actually I'm just an incredibly slow writer who has been working on the same three novels for the past 10-15 years. Depending on the novel. Not slow, really: distracted, blocked, hung up, having computer problems... that's me.
I am home sick today. I went to the grocery store yesterday and wore myself out, so I am just home today, not getting paid. But being healthier than if I tried to go lead a group of forty 6 year olds around the Museum, orienting loudest I could with the lack of my voice, trying to convince adults that you actually DO get used to the Gravity Room while yet keeling over myself... so I am home today instead. What will I do that does not require energy today? Type inane things about the multiple fictional British things having to do with this date, apparently. I think I'll try to adjust my Princess Rebecca icon (13-year-old novel) to fit on here so I can finally have a picture. (Could get a lilac icon from the Discworld people, but by the time I do it'll be the Not Nearly As Glorious 26th of May... which means something to me, too, maybe it's a non-fictional person's birthday. Have to look into that). Maybe I'll try to get over my writing hang-ups and deal with Jason's WordPerfect for a little while. Maybe I'll just go make myself a cup of tea, which is the healthy thing to do at this moment.
