I don't really have much to say today. My world isn't making anymore sense than it was a few days ago. I just feel the need to write.

I'm burning out with roleplaying, I need some experience, or maybe just a break to re-enthuse me. I'm doing NotaCon organisiation, Arcanacon organisation, UR stuff and Vurt, and its a lot. And none of it is actual roleplaying, its just all service to the roleplaying community stuff. I'm very proud of it all, but I can no longer muster the energy to get enthusiastic about it, nor can I focus on writing/gaming. So I'm running Morgan's games once a month, and while thats always a buzz and worthwhile experience, I'd like to have some good stuff of my own to present. I also doubt Neef's commitment to actually writing more stuff. Which means I'm hanging around waiting for him to do stuff, which may never happen.

I'm also having a meeting today with a guy from Multiverse (a SF fan club) to discuss a special Rocky Horror performance we are going to do soonish. Need to make plans, talk to this guy, organise a rehearsal all that sort of thing. I need to stop volunteering for things.

In other news, I'm working the PCIT show two afternoons in the next week. I'll be on the linux stand. It was interesting last time, and I'm hoping it will be interesting or maybe even educational again. Or at least I can get some free stuff from the show. I plan to pick up some linux distro's on cd's.

I'm going home not this weekend (this one is filled the rpg meetings) but next weekend. I'm hiring a car with Mikey and we are driving down on the Friday nite and will stay the Friday and Saturday. Aside from introducing Mikey to the parents, which is sureto be amusing, I want to do lots of running around. I'm going home to see the land, to touch base, to play in the scrub and fell the area I grew up. I love the land, and the trees and the area...the people, well thats a different story.

I'll prolly visit Kate and Andrew and Poppy (relatives) at some stage. I'd also liketo go into Swan Hill and wander around, or at least visit my favourite book shop. Mikey wants to leave early Sunday morning and visit his grandparents on the way home.

My auntie Pauline rang me the other day. It was quite suprising, given I haven't heard form her in a long time, and I don't have the sort of family that is very good at keeping in touch. I found out the her and my auntie Judy both have arthritis, so that explains alot of things, the lack of a family history was confusing the doctor. It was very weird talking to her. But was good. It made me happy in a strange way. I would like to have a closer family, I'm just not really sure how, slackness might have something to do with that, or maybe its simply fear.

The Friday the we leave will be the first of Spring, in my opinion the happiest day of the year, so we'll have to stop and look at stars and celebrate and stuff.

I've concieved a great desire to go on a picnic sometime soonish. With a few friends, or maybe just one, and have red wine and brie and strawberries and chocolate and be all indulgent like :) Being Spring soon, it has to be nice weather. I guess I'm just a walking through the parks kind of girl.

The hard part is finding the time to do so. Most weekends between now and January are taken up with rpg stuff, from NotaCon to Arc meetings, to cons. *grumble*

I'm happy today. I'm happy in a strange way. On today's list of things to do are fix the Rocky website so its presentable, and update the NotaCon website, with meeting details and finish writing the possible agenda.

I had more good sex last nite. It was fun. The boi isn't to good with compliments, but is good in bed. I'm falling for him more and more each day. But I'm not overly stressed about that, it's being too much fun. There are days when I worry about it more than others. I have a suspicion I should spend a night by myself, but then can't see the point, why be all cold and lonely, when you can be all warm and snuggly. I don't think Mikey has any real objections, or if he has he hasn't voiced them.

Thorfy and Georgie came over for dinner last nite. It was fun, me and Thorfy cooked, we haven't spent anytime together for a long time, and it was good to spend time with Thorf.
