Post Vacation
Continued random format:
I had an actual, honest to goodness, relaxing vacation. The highlight was laying on the pier, in the sun NOT getting sunburned while reading. For 3 days. It was heaven. And I went through 5 books as fast as I pleased.
*********************
I'm in love with Harry Dresden of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files. Apparently, I'm a sucker for tall, dark, sarcastic men wearing cloaks.
Now about why I have trouble finding a man I like...;)
*********************
Coming back to piles of paperwork on your desk makes vacation ALMOST not worth it. Almost. Remember, books.
*********************
My birthday is a week from today. I will be 25. I don't know if I should be more concerned about this than I am, but I find it difficult to get bent out of shape when I'm throwing a killer birthday party and presents will be involved.
*********************
I will, however, get bent out of shape that I haven't been kissed in over a year. I'm pretty sure my lips don't work any more. Its very sad.
*********************
Sarcastic, single, men make excellent birthday presents. Gift wrap, unnecessary.
*********************
My roommate/cousin broke up with her boyfriend. She's handling it so well I look to her as my example as I try desperately to figure out how she's so mature about it. We're related, its GOT to be in my genes somewhere...
*********************
My tote bag for vacation had 5 books, a notebook, colored pencils, a Nintendo DS and several games. This tote bag is identical to every bag I've carried on vacation since...ever...except for the amount of books and the Game boy to DS. Did I mention I was turning 25? I should have said 24 going on 12...
**********************
Air conditioners are proof God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Jane Austen would be much more interesting if set as a post-apocolyptic survival film. With Zombies. Pride and EXTREME Prejudice.
Lizzy "The Guns" Bennett and her Austen .48 take down any zombies that get in her way. Including Darcy zombie who only wants her for her BRAAAAAAIIIIIINNNNNNSSSSSSS. It, however, would not go after Kitty and Lydia as they have no brains. They'd also leave Emma alone. And Mr. Collins. And just about every other character with a few exceptions. I think it really brings something "new" to the story.
...on that note...bed.
