I am now in San Diego. This is a very lounging around kind of hostel. And it seems to be a pretty lounging around kind of place, although I have been for two walks around the city so far and will go for another soon.
I had lunch with ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) pre_raphaelite1 yesterday. She is awesome! She picked me up from the greyhound station and took me to lunch and we discussed fandom things and politics and the weather and how the internet can hardly be considered to be making us antisocial. Then she drove me to San Diego, and the hostel even let her carry my backpack to my room!
So, the first fandom meet up of the adventure was a complete success!
We decided that we really do have to write those fics that have been sitting on our hard drives being occasionally poked. Of course, mine currently only on a CD on my desk in Melbourne, and no longer on this computer.
I'm catching the overnight bus to San Francisco on Friday. |

I wrote most of the following over the past two days. But then never posted it, because it's long and rambley and possibly not very good. I'm posting it now because I want to have said it more than the typing itself takes care of.
I am sick. This is both good and bad. I dislike being sick, but I am actually sick - low grade Flu-like thing - so I have a medical certificate getting me off work for three days. Woohoo! I need the money, but I'm really not up to being pleasant and approachable and competent for four hours in an air-conditioned office to people who have waited weeks to reschedule a technical appointment that's being held up be our computer system.
That's phone-job, where I need a medical certificate to have not shown up.
I don't need a medical certificate for First-job. I just need to sound poorly when I talk to Boss. This is not an act. I did go in on Wednesday because she called me when I was watching Heist on Tuesday. I got my pay cheque signed (for all the time I worked between the second pay in December and the last pay in February, so it was worth it).
I also wanted to say that I am very sorry about anjenue. I thought I did not know her at all, but I do remember the name rosesanguina. I've read nimori's posts and will pass on the link to we_love_you_anj.
( Some thoughts on internet death )
Thinky thoughts.
Now I have to try to get my head into a space for writing remix.
Also it was April Fool's Day recently. I'm not sure exactly when because it happened on the internet the day after it happened here. Nothing happened to me at all in flesh-space. But the best online thing was Questionable Content, xkcd and Dinosaur Comics pointing to each other.
In a last note before I return to writing the remix and making sure I have all the paperwork for my US Visa application interview which is tomorrow:
