Spent some time today with the delightful

daisydumont. After having a discussion with guys from the electric company about the power line that's trying to set the trees on fire, we went to eat a good lunch at a local Indian restaurant, with their excellent butternut squash concoction earning rave reviews. Our meal was followed by a visit to a Starbucks close to home, where VickiDaisy had the first cup of coffee she's had in a while and I had my first cup of properly prepared chai. (Note to self: Chai is tasty, but you are still lactose intolerant.)

The conversation was, as ever with Ms. Vicki, great fun. We spent a lot of time talking about LiveJournal, of course. Now, now, don't look so alarmed: We are not malicious gossips. As a matter of fact, two main topics of discussion were (A) the psychology of fanfic writing, and (B) the hotties on our friends lists. ::grin:: Seriously, it was great to spend time with her and I hope we can get together again soon.

So far most of the rest of the day has seen me trying to wake up enough to do something useful. Since it looks like some trimmers have been hacking away at the woods by the power lines, here's hoping I won't be awakened again in the middle of the night by still-damp trees being briefly set ablaze, sputtering loudly and leaving the scent of smoke behind. Fireballs outside the bedroom window are not conducive to a good night's sleep.

hotties! oh gee, now we'll have a rep, cb. :D

the butternut squash was really something else. mmmmm. i'm lactose intolerant, too, btw. hope the chai didn't upset your tummy too much!

You mean we didn't have a rep already? Well, it's about time we got one, don't you think?

My tummy'll recover. The chai was worth it, just this once!

Fanfic writing? Ooh. Did my name come up? (as a recipient, of course, not as a writer of.)

Fanfic. Must get fanfic. It's the ultimate form of flattery, you know.

Heh. I think your name came up in reference to original works; the fanfic we were discussing mostly revolved around Harry Potter, even though I've never read the books or seen the movies.

Hmm... if I ever get my brain working properly, I could write Zephyr fanfic...

Wow, my name came up, my name came up! (a much-needed dose of self-esteem food, woo hoo!)

Maybe Daisy will get all curious and add me and then I can get her hooked too. Or not. One can always hope.

Hey, your brain doesn't have to work properly to write Zephyr fanfic. Look at all the episodes about his brain not working properly. He's my indulgence in irrational thought processes, which I'm not able to have nearly as often in real life.

Hmm. I always kinda thought Zephyr's brain worked just fine, but with a skewed store of experiences to refer to when he's dealing with new experiences. At least, I know a couple of highly intelligent people with social skills or phobias similar to or worse than his, so it's not the brain's actual functioning that seems to be a problem to me. Based on his experiences, Zephyr's thought processes are understandable even when problematical. Mine own thought processes, on the other hand, don't get me very far when I've had so very little sleep. :-)

Mmm, good points. He does have his moments, though... I wonder if he was experiencing insomnia then? He might have been. I had it for three months straight this summer, with few breaks, so some of that might have rubbed off on him.
