sinjunOr maybe that should be thoughts?
I'm not sure.
Anyway, some rp last night. the council meeting was amusing. G'Kar is awesome, and I really really want someone to play Londo. Elyse's symphony is coming along well enough - and those of you who came by to play are wonderful. Oceana has made a new friend, and that's probably a good thing. It might counteract all the weird and woolly incidents in her life.
Working on files and such as promised.
Sent out a couple emails. Had a very bad headache last night. It made sleeping interesting and typing fun. But I did manage somehow. Val gave the trim a second coat - go her! She's so amazing sometimes. I don't know where she got the energy, but I'm very very glad she did. Painting will get finished sooner or later. Gotta go to the paint store on Saturday - note to self.
Car got an oil change this morning, so that's a good thing. It seems to be running smoothly, and the mechanics didn't find anything unexpected wrong with it. Next checkup will be it's 50,0000 km bonus. Darn, I'm driving a lot. I need to move or get a job closer to home.
Since one of my lj friends wrote an entry on roots, I've been thinking about it. It seems to me that it's around 30 years old or just a bit before that happens. Well, it did for me, and many of my friends are experiencing the same thing. Some people want to root younger, of course, and some never do - this is by no means a global thing. It's just a common theme. I know that I bought my house so that I'd own it before I turned 30. Deliberately. The bank still owns most of it, I admit, but every 2 weeks, I own a little bit more. And I have rooted there. I don't want to move. The mere thought brings out so much reluctance that I don't know what to do with it. I like that house - it's home.
This is something I've been musing over for a few months now, ever since someone else asked me a question about moving to the U.S. My initial answer was that I would do it, if the situation was right, but after much thought, I'm not so sure. I think that I would stay home, if I had a choice, because it is home, it's secure, and it's mine.
Maybe the first thing that I don't depend on anyone else for, not really. Oh, I have housemates, and they do help pay the bills, don't get me wrong, but if I didn't, I'd cut back on luxuries, and I think I'd survive. It's interesting to see that security does mean a lot to me. I'm a homebody by nature, and now that I have a home, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that I don't want to leave it.

Date: 2003-06-20 10:16 am (UTC)My 'Roots' are something I want to establish myself, and with this house I think I am on a good start. I'd like not to think of moving.
You know me, just another homebody ;)
Re: Concerning Roots
Date: 2003-06-20 10:18 am (UTC)Nothing wrong with that. It's just nice to be able to share roots with someone. Or something. :)

Date: 2003-06-20 10:21 am (UTC)You just want to get way ahead of Cea. :)
That's okay, even as a Proven, you're not supposed to get romantically involved with anyone from the Tower, I think.
Cea, on the other hand, is pretty much free to do what she wants, once she's Accepted...

You ask Cea what she thinks of that idea ... and hope she doesn't have a knife at the time!
no subject
Date: 2003-06-20 11:55 am (UTC)Erg....women ;)
Connor has eyes for no other, that much I can assure you. The kisses just sealed that for him, now that he has an inkling of an idea of how Cea feels too.
Re:
Date: 2003-06-20 11:57 am (UTC)Poor Connor. Did you know what you were setting that boy up for?
no subject
Date: 2003-06-20 12:11 pm (UTC)I created him solely with the hope of having a character with you
I didnt realize that outside that relationship, that he would be so fun to play. Much more diverse than ol' stuff shirt.
Wonder how my merc is gonna end up being...hopefully not dead ;P
Re:
Date: 2003-06-20 12:42 pm (UTC)Well, we'll see. I'm glad you're enjoying playing Connor. He's a fun sort.
Mind you, Cea does think a bit differently than Elyse, which is probably a good thing.
no subject
Date: 2003-06-20 12:20 pm (UTC)Eesh. Yep, I want him to be Gaidin before she gets to Sedai ;)
Re:
Date: 2003-06-20 12:43 pm (UTC)You know, Cea doesn't have illusion.
But Elyse does. Even if Cea is just Accepted, she could still end up dying in that test...

But, yes. I think you're right. It's an age-and-stage thing. *grin* There are some things, however, I refuse to own up to — for all that I know my change in attitude has everything to do with age-and-stage... ;p
Re:
Date: 2003-06-20 11:20 am (UTC)Well, whatever works for you. ;)
I mean, I started planning for the house at 25 ... so what do I know?
