sleepy morning thoughts
Sep. 18th, 2004 09:24 am(initially scrawled in my sketchbook)
So here I am in the SF Bay Area. A day later than we intended because of the immense amouts of crap Ashy and I both have, and my slow packing, but we're here. And I feel very unsure of myself.
Names to learn. Last night's movie expedition ("Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow", a beautifully-done homage to the 30's adventure serials, soft-focus and shallow characters and all - but can we maybe call a moratorium on Nazi villains for a while? Total cheese, plot holes galore of course. It kinda got to be Too Silly when they ended up in the Lost World - just about every B&W adventure movie cliche is in there) involved eight people of various (and varying) genders, only four of whom I had names for - including myself. From what was said at one point, only one of these eight may have had their birth and current gender match - quite a shock to my system after all these years in very straight, very Armenian Glendale.
And there will be other names to learn, too - more of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dv_girl and centauress' circle, a bit of nerfcoyote's because Ashy will be staying at his place for a while (and I'll certainly be visiting), kattything's circles, tugrik's... there's certainly overlap, given that everyone I know up here at the moment has something to do with the furry thing, but it's still gonna be a lot of names to cram into a brain as disorganized and social-unpracticed as mine.
One of the people here last night was wearing a Puzzlebox shirt, but didn't really identify xerself to me despite me using Twin's habitual greeting upon seeing the shirt - xe might not actually be on yet, for all I know, and was fairly quiet. I'll learn more, I'm sure.
"Ponies don't belong on heads... jellyfish do!"
I still need to have gas, power, and phone shut off in the Glendale apartment.
I need to call my mother and let her know I'm alright.
I need to get my computer set up and make major progress on the COG album cover. I was hoping to have it done last week but, well, packing ate my head.
I need to get started on the stuff for Renegade. This pretty much also requires functioning computer and net.
I need to unpack enough to start things.
And I need to enjoy my new home. Home at least for the next few months. Ashy wasn't born or raised in the Bay Area but considers it to be home. Will I? it's too early to tell.
