So many candles....
Apr. 27th, 2007 09:24 amI spent Wednesday curled up in bed with a book, being alone, which was nice. Being alone is something I used to consider myself quite good at, but haven’t practiced much lately. It’s good that I can still do it.
For you see, it occurs to me that I am turning old next week. A lot of good things happened to me this past year, but few of them were my own doing. Things I told myself last year I would have done by now, I haven’t. I do have this tendency sometimes to let the years slip past me.
So next week (and the weeks following it) I’m going to spend starting an exploratory draft of a book I’d like to write. It’s been stalled at the planning stage for a long time, and although I still don’t feel like it’s well planned out enough, this should at least get the thing flowing and help me figure out what it needs. This is my birthday gift to myself.
So, my priorities will have to shift a bit. Less socialising, much less internet. More being alone.
I don’t have any plans for the day itself, although I may get lonely at the last minute and demand drinkage or something. Hmmm.

Tomorrow, I travel to Parramatta to see two people who are awesome make their joint awesomeness a permanent arrangement by way of official ceremony. Yay! Except I’m not sure how I’ll get there. Is anyone driving that way?
