Update on the Lily

mllelaurel- Managed to coax two more episodes out of the DS9 DVDs. Literally, coax. Seriously, I thought I was gonna have to give it gooshyfood and pettings just to get it to play.
- In the process of watching, the cast list suddenly dawned on me. Quark is Principal Snyder. I go die of giggles now.
- Watching DS9 made me realize how far Trek has come in terms of female characters. Both Dax and Kira are fabulous, and the fact that both women are drop-dead gorgeous doesn't detract from the awesomeness. They may be pretty, but they sure ain't cheesecake.
In other new, I seem to have caught a peculiar sort of writer's block. It's not that I have no ideas - I have plenty of ideas; I'm positively overflowing with ideas. But every time I open a word document to put those ideas into words, I get hit with a wave of what can only be described as revulsion. For the process, for my own writing abilities, for the very ideas I thought were pretty shiny just a second ago. I'm fine as long as I'm just brainstorming or outlining, but get to it and wham!
Writing longhand in a notebook might help. I have to try that. Until then, blergh.
In other other news, it's now officially time to e-mail the folks at Bennington. From what I understand, I shouldn't have to fill out too much paperwork in order to return. Especially if I drop an unspecified 'health reasons' as my reason for leaving to begin with. (If they want specific, they're getting nothing.)
It's going to be weird and not a little depressing, being a year behind all my friends. But hell, making the gap even longer by procrastinating is hardly going to help matters. And hey, if I cultivate a lack of social life, maybe I'll get all my work done.
...Nope, that makes it even more depressing. Ah well.
I may also have contracted Mum's cold. Time to find the cat, as purry and warm makes everything better.

Bre is rooming with Natalie Kent (who is an awesome freshman and used to date Ross (well they will be dating again in the fall if things work out well)). Anyways, I hope you'll be in McCullough too! There are so many cool people here!
We miss you!
