I'm starting to get a little freaked out about Wilma now.

Not sure what to do, where we'd go...but I'm starting to think about evacuation.

Meh.

Dave is not freaking out about Wilma. I called him, and after listening to all of the reasons that he has for not freaking out, I feel a bit better, more sane.

Thanks to everyone for the support; I feel kind of bad for stressing out, as well as still a little shaky and scared.

Feeling kind of adrift again, but the feeling passes, so I'll just ride it out. As well as the hurricane, I guess. As well as everything.

Meh.

I found this far too funny... :-D

Three Things You Want in a Relationship (other than love)

- acceptance

- adoration

Two Truths and a Lie
- I am sort-of having three online conversations as I type this. They are reeeally idlish, so I'm not sure. Both if they're still here, and if it's proper to call them conversations, when I'm not so sure of that.
- I don't have a social life, or much of one, to speak of. As perhaps evidenced by the above.
- While I'm typing this, Ellie is drawing on the floor with a silver Sharpie pen. Sharpie can be removed from floors with WD-40. This is a useful piece of information to have, if you are a parent of a small child.

(yeah, they're all true. I'm not a very good liar, anyway. yes, I cleaned the floor before continuing. now she's doing something to the kitchen sink. back in a moment...)


Three Things about the Opposite or Same Sex that Appeal to You
- Hair (on the head, body hair I don't really have much of an opinion on one way or the other). Long, short, doesn't matter. Bald can be sexy, too. It's just something I notice. :-)
- Hands. Ditto. Though I'm very partial to long fingers, like hands in a DaVinci painting. Artist/musician hands.
- Androgyny

(these apply to any/all sexes)

Three of Your Favorite Hobbies
- writing
- reading
- singing

Three Things You Want to do Really Badly Right Now

I cannot limit it to three places, but if I could I would come visit you all. *hugs*

Three Things You Want to Do Before You Die
- see my children grow up into healthy, happy adults
- visit Paris

(& see you all, but...yeah. Come to Paris with me. Otherwise, I have to play favorites, and I don't want to do that.)

Three Things You Really Hate

- people who make fun of other people just to be mean (friendly consensual teasing is different)
- staying up half the night and then getting up early in the morning :-(((((
- criticism that's given to put someone down rather than to help

oh wow! I'm done. :-) now what?.....
