[OOC] Light in the Dark

[ClosetMonster]

And a first for the OOC! :)

[Nemaisare]

Whoo!

[Nemaisare]

Whee! And we are continuing! Yay!

[ClosetMonster]

You do realize how awesome this is. They are TALKING! We have, after all of this time, finally come to a place where conversation can happen.

*L* My son says in response, "This is an EPIC! You and Nem are writing EPICS!" hee hee.

[Nemaisare]

It's amusing that it took this long. I love this. And your son is awesome. EPICS are funner than I thought. :P

Go! Talk! Win! And call me when you get back, darling.... :P Couldn't resist.

[ClosetMonster]

Hee hee...

Okay, so very sorry for the (usual) lag... I'll stop apologizing for it one day, i'm sure of it. It is ten thirty and I'm making my way to bed, but I shall work on and get you a response, so glad I've tomorrow off! :) Hope the world is treating you well, m'dear!

[ClosetMonster]

(And I am SOOOOOO glad you and Glaw are buddies now... just keep saying that, cause I am, I am!)

[Nemaisare]

(Hee, I'm glad we are too. Glad you and I are buddies as well. :))

And no worries about the lag. As usual. lol Maybe someday we'll both stop apologizing for it. One day, Closet... One day, we shall abandon manners as regards this because we'll get so fed up with ourselves for constantly apologising. :P

[Nemaisare]

Most excellently awesome, oh writing buddy mine. :)

[Nemaisare]

Have they introduced themselves yet? I don't think they have.... This makes me happy.

EDIT: okay, I swear I remember some mention of Wilhelm saying his name... I just can't find it. Maybe it was in the last few posts we lost.

[ClosetMonster]

I remember them introducing themselves as well.

Sorry for the long incommunicado. Am at a conference all week. Yay ;)

[Nemaisare]

No worries. And hope the conference is going well. :D

[ClosetMonster]

So the conference went well enough. It was one of those things where good intentioned people get together and try and give information to a very large group which they have little to no way of gauging just how much of their information is known already. Therefore, they have to spend a good portion of their time explaining the basics and it leaves those who do know already, frustrated at the entry-level info.

Still, I think they did a good job of getting the information out to a new group of people who needed to know there are new ways to approach age-old problems. :) So all in all, it was a good one and I'm very glad to be home.

I can tell I'm seeing a light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. I can't stop cooking! *L* I keep wanting to feed people. Have to stop myself from inviting everyone over for dinner every night and trying to unload extra everything on my poor neighbor.

OH! And I made a fab raspberry/huckleberry buckle/coffee cake using almond flour. Oh my gosh... seriously - served warm and maybe with vanilla ice cream next time? New best food ever!

[Nemaisare]

Yay! Heh, I can see how that would be a bit frustrating and/or annoying, but at least you did learn new things eventually, right? Also... coffee cake?! *mails self to Closet and steals cake for self*

[ClosetMonster]

Most definitely! Got to see what others are doing in my profession.

I have an odd job, in that I'm educated in a field that is almost perpendicular to the field I actually work in. It leads to a lot of misconceptions as to what exactly I do. It seems almost mystifying sometimes to the milieu. But this was an attempt on many parts both in my profession and outside of it - and an honest attempt to integrate two very different disciplines. So it was cool to see how people are trying to do it.

*L* I think I'm gonna go and become and engineer. Maybe that way, at least when what I do is mysterious, you could still read a report on it and say "I... think I get it!"

And as silly as that is - seriously. Wouldn't that be fun? Engineering! Next career change. :) It's that or become a rubber band paperclip sniper. Hmm.... get people from the wrong side of a cubicle or do something legitimate. -__- So many choices.

[Nemaisare]

Odd jobs... I have no job. Though I'm trying for editor,and may be building a library this summer. Which is exciting. Cuz books! Even if their environmental waste books of one sort or another....

Hmm, y'know what you should do. You should engineer a new style of wasp... Although I'd have to say rubber bands are pretty rad and hard to beat. Go Closet, go! Make something better than rubber! You can do it! :P

Anywhoodle, I'm making a post now that may or may not be done before I go to bed. And I was stalking you. Are you really doing a recreation of the Highwayman? You are! You're awesome. Yes, yes you are. (alreadyknewthisbuthadtosayitagain)

Think you that sincewe both remember an introduction happening between them we should just pretend it happened in one of the vague moments or shall we wait for another chance for them to remember that knowing peoples' names can be important before we have them knowing each others'?

[ClosetMonster]

I think know away!! We have great memories and we know they know one another which means they must know it too, even if they've maybe forgotten because it weren't written so clear and all.

And I shall write more when I'm alive. At present, have belly full of cream puffs (I've discovered when my kitchen is spic and span, I feel an overwhelming drive to cook and bake (awful, awful deal, really - hard to keep a clean kitchen when you're always mucking it up again) and am going to go to bed, as it's far past my bedtime. Heh.

And an editor? You can be an editor! I would have loved to have been an editor! Talk about "What the heck does that person do???" kinda jobs! it's magic, editing! I tell you, it's magic!!

[Nemaisare]

Maaagic! :P

Also, Nyah! troll lore, it is fun. Eeheeeheeheeheehehehehehehehehehe

[ClosetMonster]
