What To Do? Hey! Buy A Vidder!

Auction. Go. Bid. Fire Bad; Vidders Pretty.

Incidentally - does a semicolon belong up there with the whole "fire bad" thing? Unfortunately, grammar rules I once knew quite well, rules that were my friends, are deserting me in my dotage.

I am of the hap, hap, happy because tomorrow I have a heres_luck of my very own to cook with and watch "Wonderfalls" with and to play songs that will be prefaced with a "So and then Buffy..." with and to watch vids with and just generally have fun with. Yay.

Also, I am happy because I know that she will understand if she gets to my house and sees that I couldn't stop to clean because I was vidding. She will get that I had every intention of a spotless home but then...::points madly:: vid!!

I was reading all of the responses to eliade's post about nonfannish things to do and realized that I guess I am lucky. Well, for starters - most of the things other people do would make me stab out my eyes with a fork - but then most of the way I fritter away my time on Earth would probably affect them the same way, so YAY for the wonderful diversity of humans.

No, I am lucky because I always have something to do. When I was a kid, this was not always the case. Often I could be found draping myself dramatically across the sofa and declaring "There is nothing to do" which was an absolute lie because I grew up on a farm with acres upon acres of land and ponds and wooded groves and any animal that I ever wanted and some that freaked me out. What I meant was "There is nothing that I want to do currently available to me" and this was truly the plague of my childhood. I remember long periods of boredom that I am grateful for now because it did enable me to develop a very sturdy imagination and enthusiasm for simple things like going to the library and seeing a movie at the theater. These are Big Deal Items for me and now, as an adult, I can do them whenever I want. Yay!

Now, most of the time I don't want to do any of the many things that I have available to do - most of the time I want to curl up and just check out for a while and let the TV tell me a story. But I think this is just indicative of long work days and general laziness. But sometimes I perk up and need another place to be, or thing to think about or action to accomplish. On those days poor Sid-the-dog-faced-boy gets a lot of attention. I also have to be careful on those days with my wallet because if you get the least bit of energy in me and Sid is all walked out, I am liable to go and buy things. Pretty things that smell good or are pink. There could possibly be flowers involved. Somedays, I just need the opposite of Zoloft.

But - in the interest of participating in this whole life thingamabob, I possibly need to do "more" (although I do anticipate a rise in enforced clubbing as Lexington's patio season and Keeneland's Spring Session is almost upon us) so I will now take the whole "Get back into taking Yoga Classes" from my backbrain to my actual "Yeah, I should do this" brain. This means I won't actually do this, but when I actually have a moment of free time where I could be doing this instead of the nothing that I usually do, I will allow myself to experience guilt over the not doing this.

Ahhh Guilt. My most practiced hobby.

No on the semi colon. It's a period, I think.
