i've been coming up with ideas for the basis of my novel. this is thrilling to me--to be able to write whatever i want and go nuts with it. i haven't written nearly as much as i would like lately--besides here, that is--so having a reason to sit down for a little while each evening will hopefully give me the kick start i've been needing. it's been difficult to feel motivated, as i sit at a desk for hours each day, and sit down and write more, if that makes any sense...

but i feel the creativity percolating, and i'm looking forward to unleashing it come friday!

tori's new album is a delight. i picked up the limited edition at sam goody's in union station on my way home from work ($15.99 for the limited edition? revelrevel) and listened to it on the metro ride and walk home. the rain that ws falling around me helped set the mood for the tori-enjoyment, and i loved it. each track has something special that i enjoy--the fact that i'm seeing her in less than two weeks is slowly dawning on me, and i'm getting incredibly excited! from the sound of beth's squeals over the phone last night, i get the impression that she's somewhat excited about the concert too... ;)

last night i had one of those dreams where it's impossible to tell that it was actually a dream...i don't remember a great deal of the specifics, except that it took place in d.c. with a bunch of friends from high school i haven't seen or spoken to in ages, and it ended with me hooking up with my high school crush (who, if real life is anything like dreamland, only got better with age). it was a niiiiiice dream--twas a pity to wake up.
