It still hasn’t quite sunk in.
And I got home three days ago.
I amuse myself during boring speeches by mentally perfecting the speech-giver’s grammar and use of illusion.
My purse hold more pens/pencils/notebooks than it does makeup.
Yay! Another girly doodled in my journal while listening to music! Europa was my last one, and this is Symphonie. I was listening to Bobby McFerrin’s versions of Mozart’s Allegro, Minuetto, and Rondo from Eine Kleine Nachtmusik (or, as you un-musically-educated people would say, The Magic Flute).
I talk to myself in various voices and accents as I act out a scene to myself when I have no paper or computer handy.
I find I am able to cope better with stressful situations that not many people find themselves in (e.g. going into shock after getting injured) by realizing that, now that it’s happened to me, I can correctly write about and describe the event when it happens to my characters.
I often spend more time trying to fix the stupid drama of my characters than I do trying to fix the stupid drama of my friends.
I plan the haunted lives and tortured deaths of the movie producers who change plots/scenes/characters of my books… if they were ever published… and made into a movie.
I carry a notebook around with me everywhere, to write down amusing/thought-provoking things that people say so I can remember it and add it to a book.
I talk about my characters as if they were real people, and refer to the ones who are based off real people by the names of the people they are based off of.
I doodled myself today.

I have done more research on every possible thing for my fantasy-genre book, than I ever did for any school paper, no matter how important.
My friend and I were talking about how annoying it is when you send a document from your computer to another, and all the fonts you chose get changed into something else. For example, when you find some cool handwriting-like font to use for a part that is a letter a character has written to another. When I do this, it almost invariably changes to typewriter-font when on another computer.
As if my characters (Paladin, in this case) carried around a personal typewriter on all their exploits, for typing up dispatches and notes on the go…
