OOOOOH blog how I've missed you.
It's time we hung out again, you and I. I miss your words and the way you give me a sense of accomplishment for doing something other than school. I also like how you let me worry at my life like a favourite bone! Unfortunately I have just used up most of my allotted procrasti-time for the day by filling out Jen's curs-ed email quiztionaire (which I abandoned halfway through in favour of blog - though I suppose I could combine the two...)

ANYWAY my point is this is brief, dear blog, but I wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten you. I have been busy and for this I am deeply, forehead-touches-the-floor-in-a-bow sorry.

THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN MEGAN-LAND

thing the first - Camera Obscura with Dan-Vi, who I like to call Dan-Very-Cool, when she's not listening. Or even when she is!

thing the second - read three books: Hawthorne's The Scarlett Letter (thank goodness that's over), Urquhart's Away (a weird mix of absorbing/annoying, depending on my mood and whether or not I was reading while squished up in the back of the 24 bus, trying not to catch anyone's cough on the back of my neck), and, for old time young-adult's sake, Phyllis Naylor's The Fear Place. I have a whole bundle of "preteen" books that I just love - they provide a good, solid two hours' entertainment and fondly remind me of public school book fairs and those little newsprint book order pages we'd get in grade 6-8, full of books like Friendship Quiz Book and What Is Happening To My Body? (a question that still sometimes perplexes me).

thing the third - workshopped (yes, that's a verb) Chapter One of the Officious Grad Project That Starts With An N and Rhymes With Hovel ... and it went over quite well. Beer was consumed as a congratulatory result.

thing the fourth - I WALKED INTO A DOOR (yes, you heard it right) and severely damaged my nose. It was a little blue for a while and now it clicks every time I touch the bridge. Is that bad?

thing the fifth - helped my friend Michael and company to move several heavy (oh so heavy!) boxes of books from the post office to his digs. It was a very gendered enterprise - my job was to bake brownies, hold open doors, and drink beer. And offer helpful suggestions. I think I performed well.

thing the sixth - this one is IN THE FUTURE! friday night is Gascon Games Night #2 ... which means Tycho and I have to turn this place into party central for the ladies who are coming over expecting fun and tacos.

thing the seventh - helped Derek move... from a distance. Happy new house, D-dog!

Okay, I am officially out of time, must be off to other things (like listening to Outfront and eating chocolate cupcakes).

THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED IN TYCHO-LAND:

yup. that pretty much sums it up for him.
