So I'm kind of starting to dread people actually leaving. James doesn't really want to take his car because he doesn't have money for gas, but it would seem that everyone else is insisting upon it. And that also sucks because I'll be stuck without a car for two weeks, which rules out any weekend trips to Portland or anything like that. And I'll have to carry groceries home on my bike, which has resulted in disaster more than once. And I'm just generally not enjoying the prospect of not being mobile.
I guess it's most disconcerting because one of my favorite things to do when I'm alone and thinking too much is drive. Speeding down the open road, turning up the radio, breeze coming in through an open window, not having to think about anything except keeping the car from hitting things... it's all very cathartic for me. And I won't have that.
One of the good things about this trip: the house is being cleaned. Or at least, to some extent. Trash is going out, James is tackling the mountain of dishes right now, and he plans to tackle the mountain of laundry later today. And, well, nobody's cleaning the bathroom, but I'm always the one who does it anyway, so no big loss there. I'm definitely vacuuming, and possibly shampooing the carpet while everyone's gone.
I think I've about had my fill of HMM2. It's getting to the point of frustration, and that's bad. I'm thinking about turning my eye back to Starcraft, or maybe Black and White. And I have cosplay outfits to work on too, although James won't be here, so I gotta take his measurements before he leaves if I'm going to work on the Kero-chan suit. And, there's always re-vamps and such on the websites, something that never goes out of style. I can entertain myself pretty well when I have to. I just prefer not to do *everything* alone.
Anyhoo, back to doing whatever I'm doing.

Date: 2001-06-18 02:04 am (UTC)Probably all day Tuesday too, or at least most of it, I think I'm going to try and get as much of Felicia's stuff as I can possibly stand moved at the same time, so that I can be done with the whole moving thing, because, generally speaking, moving sucks after you've been doing it for a week straight.... *mutter* *mutter*
It would be great if you could lend a hand for a little of it. I appreciate the offer a lot.
