Just Tripping Along The Freakazoid

So heading to Vegas for a few days, will be awesome and I hope to also catch up on my writing. Now I know you are saying - OMG going to Vegas and you are talking about writing. Heck yeah - see Vegas is MEGA PEOPLE WATCHING MECCA hahahaha I can watch people and develop characters, see how people act in certain situations, I can pick up dialogue and setting and interaction and just - WHEEEEEEEEE - I am getting my Curious George fix for like a whole.... second hehehe so many stories, so much to see and yes, sooooo much to write hehehe Also, lots of time to talk and work thngs out with a couple of my sisters. And hugs to my nephew who broke his arm : ( Alrighty - off to finish cleanng the house and packing.

My brother-in-law was laid off today... another statistic... this time I know one of the numbers... : (

Seasons - an implication of a collection of time united by some similar thread. Seasons as designated by a solar cycle, or weather or a cultural thread, or... a time in a person's life as designated by philosophy and the way they view somethng, or believe in something : ) So it is shifting into summer, sorta, although the weather has been cooler and rainy. I caught an environmental lecture out at the college last night, it was great and god, I miss that, I miss the science and the lectures and the collegiality and the excitement and curiosity. I am excited I get to explore that this summer as I attend a GIS/Crime Mapping conference and workshops - I love learning and this is one way I can tap into that still. A shift back to study and learning and science. I love GIS. I love patterns and GIS ties into that so much. Patterns, relations, connections. I have been working on my writing, learning new tools to use, working with new people, dipping into other mediums, ways to write ...

Whew – lots popping up 1. Started watching "Murder in Suburbia" and I LOVE IT – only in a couple eppys but yessssssssss – MUST WATCH ALL :P 2. The one main friend I have here, not on the Internet, just told me he proposed and is moving to Florida by August – mannnnnn I am so bummed and realized, not counting Internet, I have no one I really hang out with. I have acquaintances but not "friends" per se… 3. I am going to a couple conferences this summer. I am presenting at the National Academy Foundation conference in Phoenix in July. Then Aug. 16 – 22 I am heading to New Orleans for the Dept. of Justice 10th Crime Mapping/GIS conference. I am sooooo psyched. I've been working with the Law and Public Safety class on GIS and crime mapping. Plus I have been writing a lot of Nikki and Nora so can not wait to see New Orleans. 4. I have been messing on www.mahalo.com. It is kinda a wikipedia thing, but a little more fun :P I already I have reached yellow...
