I’m not sure what I’m going to blog about right now, but I felt like writing and I need to calm down for a minute before leaving my room.

My parents are going out of town tomorrow to go to my Grandmother’s 90th birthday party. It’s been quite the decision-making process to determine who should go and who shouldn’t. To put it nicely, I haven’t seen my Grandmother – this Grandmother, I mean – since… geeze, I can’t even remember when. All I’ve heard are rude stories about her, but now I’m not sure what to believe, you know? Anyway, it was decided that I didn’t really feel like flying so I’m not going, so it’ll be just my mom and dad. This’ll be nice for a while, a nice break for Steve and I to see how we operate without the parents around. I think we’ll do fine. Here’s an example to illustrate; on Sunday we played Compatibility. We had some missionaries over, they were a team. Then my mom and her friend from Arizona were a team, and Steve and I were the final team. Steve and I beat the socks off the other teams by a long shot. I think we broke some kind of compatibility record or something. Even though he and I don’t behave the same way all the time, we think alike, or at least are able to tell what each other are thinking. I think the house will be lovely, calm, and peaceful for a while. It’ll be nice.

My shoulder’s sore. (I’m babbling, trying to think of what to write.) I stayed up late last night working on character backgrounds for a stupid script I’m writing. An idea came to me while I was in London, so I figured I’d write it just for the heck of it. Apparantly I still need more writing practice as my friend Sujit has informed me that I use way too many commas. I want to work out that kink before I work on my other important novel. The only problem with the script is it’s set in London, and it makes me want to go back really badly. I don’t want to wait until next year to go there for University, but on the other hand, I don’t want to go to school that soon. I just want to go to London and not go to school. That would be the best of both worlds.

Ideally I’d like to go work for Colefax and Fowler for a while. (They’re a big design firm in London.) I’d love that. I got a copy of Architectural Digest today and there was a big ad for C&F in there… ah. That would be heaven. Their main market consists of fabric and wallpapers, but they also deal in antiques and interior design. I think I’d want to work in one of the latter two options. I really love antiques, but I think I’d enjoy the actual design better.

Speaking of all that, I need to call Mary Douglas-Drysdale. I went to a home show a while ago and met Laurie Smith from Trading Spaces. She got all excited when I said I want to be a designer, and started recommending some designers I should intern with. She was most insistant about Ms. Douglas-Drysdale and C&F. I need to start working on that. Maybe this weekend.

I think I’ve babbled long enough.
