I Know You've Heard It's Over Now -

[venetianarchive]

Hmm - so, the story so far - I've now received a rejection to pair with my acceptance, and I'm still waiting on some responses. I'm not at all unhappy with the thought of just taking the acceptance I've got, though - I think I've come to terms with fate, and I'll take things as they come - I believe I can make it work no matter what happens. Perhaps it's all the time I've been spending at zen center, where I volunteer three times a week in addition to zazen on the other days. Zen is also starting to influence my dancing, or so I'm told - maybe that can be my shtick. I've tried more fiction writing, which has been encouraging and enjoyable. I doubt I'll ever be more than a hobbyist, but it does give me insight into other things as well. I've finished grading, and now it's time for me to give serious thought to planning and packing for my mountain sojourn - I've had some advice as to what to expect and what I need, but I doubt I'll really be able to anticipate anything.

This weekend was Wondercon, which was fun - I did spend more money than intended, but I found some nice gifts for friends, saw movie trailers for films I which I unfortunately won't get to see, and managed to speak briefly with a few comics and television writers whose work I admire, and got a few hints about a favorite television show. Oh, and today I baked two cakes for the second time in two weeks, and made biscuits (American-Style) for the first time. It seems I have time enough at last to enjoy being who I am - for how long, though?
