Wandering Brain
March 3
It's early, but I'm tired. Still recovering from being sick, I guess. This one'll be short.
I went to Timprov and Marissa's today. Spent the morning hanging out with M'ris and watching her make banana bread. As always, the time flew by in her company. A bit after Timprov got up we headed for Berkeley. I introduced them to Karen and Par and Jeremiah. We hung out for a bit, had tea, talked about books and online journals. M'ris got lost in Admiration-of-Totland for a while, but then she emerged. We went to Au Coquelet (on Karen's recommendation), where I had nice coffee and an excellent apple-sour-cream torte. Then to The Other Change of Hobbit. I saw the issue of Asimov's with my poem in it again and just giggled. It's odd, knowing people can buy something with my words in it. It's different from my past, smaller print publications-- You can't go into a random bookstore and find Maelstrom or the Savannah Literary Journal, you know?
I bought William Spencer's The Return of Count Electric. Then I drove Timprov and M'ris home. They'd invited me to have dinner, but I was terribly tired, so I went home instead. I made some dinner, talked to Meg on the phone (she'll be here next Friday!), read Land of Laughs...
I had a great day, and I guess that's not coming through in this entry... I've got an annoying little headache, and I'm tired, so that's sucking all the fun out of my fingertips.

Congrats to Samantha Ling for her acceptance to Clarion West! This makes 3 Web Rats accepted to Clarion(s) so far! The lucky lovelies. They're making me all nostalgic. Almost nostalgic enough to forget about the toxic waste they served in the Owen Cafeteria...

Me and Meg were talking about living together (which we're going to be doing in a couple of months)... I don't think I can adequately express how excited I am about this. To have her with me every day, to go to sleep next to her every night, to be with her so much... I can't imagine anything better than that. It's what I want in my life, now. I know we'll argue and there will be bad times, but for now all I can think about is the perfect pleasure of making breakfast with her, of laying in bed together on Sunday mornings, of simply sitting together in the same room, me reading, her crocheting...
I love being in love, y'all.
