I think my title explains things.

So I am going to post this post and then post my posts that I wrote during my trip.

However as it has not left yet I am still connected to the wireless network so I can post another farewell post. So I am. I am all packed, and still have some room. I’m hoping my carry-on luggage will cooperate as I have not tested it and know not how it will be. So I shall refer you to “The Lord of the Rings” somewhere around the chapter “A Short Cut to Mushrooms” there is a poem that starts out something like “Farewell we call to hearth and hall” And as I doubt I’ll have time to write the whole of it, I’ll let you look it up.

It should be an interesting trip. I am packed, to a certain extent. I have DVD’s, Swords, Velvet Medieval Gowns, Knitting, and even regular clothes! I still have to pack my PDP and computer case but that shouldn’t take too long. I’ll try to write posts during my stay. I don’t feel like writing now so this will be a short posts. I may write another before I go but if don’t, Farewell until November 1st.

I slept in until ten O’clock. I wrote Chapter Six. I rode my bicycle for a while, I knitted, I read Eloise, I also sewed a very lovely Jane Austin period dress. So I was somewhat busy today. Surprisingly I don’t really feel very tired, in some ways, at the moment. Also I don’t really feel like typing much. It’s interesting how their can be a project that you want to do, that you feel ought to be done, and yet when it comes to working on it it can give you headache. Such is project Write Space Story Before I Leave… I usually try to write humorously and if there was anything funny in the last chapter I wrote I did see it… But it may be there, hidden in the fact that I haven’t really reread it. At some point, definitely before I write chapter eight, which is the last chapter, I will reread the entire book so far as it has gone.

Tuesday morning I leave for Las Vegas. I haven’t even packed yet. Monday is going to be a busy day…

Sarah Massatt and I have started really emailing each other a lot again recently and I suggested that we ought to finish a story we had started about two years ago but never really finished. Then Sarah suggested that we finish it before I leave on the trip, since I am going to be seeing her during it. So now we have a book to finish. Currently I am on Chapter four and when it is finished the book will be halfway done. Which is nice. True, Chapter One was already written but we are on schedule currently. Sadly I seem to be getting a horrible headache when I write very hard but fortunately is usually goes away pretty quickly. Currently it is a very interesting book. “Beware your every move is watched…“

Preparing for traveling is kind of interesting. I’ve been thinking about what I want to bring with me, what I ought to bring with me, what I’ll probably have room to bring with me, and what Mom will want me to take. It’s remarkable how with four sets of things some things can be in all four categories, most can be in two or three, and some things can be only in one set. Anyway I am carefully considering what to bring with me and what to not bring with me. I did clean out my purse and repack it this evening in preparation for the trip. I leave early Tuesday morning.

It’s really fun riding in a porsche with the windows down! I hope sometime Mom will take the sunroof off and have the windows down and we can pretend we’re in a convertible cruising around. It’s a very “cool” thing to do I think. It’s very enjoyable to stick one’s hand out, just a little, the window and move it around in the window. You can feel the air pressure and it’s very fun to play with. Porsche aerodynamics are neat. I think I’m having sixteen year old teenage tendencies this evening since I’m using the words “neat” and “cool” and “cruising around” which I don’t think I usually do. I don’t know if those words are still in use by the common sixteen year old female but I think they were at some point or other. Anyway the end for this post hath come.

I don’t think I have posted yet about my upcoming trip. I am going to Las Vegas with my parents for a business convention. From there I will be visiting family and friends in California and then flying to Texas for a wedding. One of my Uncles is getting married. I will be leaving a week from Tuesday and will not get back until the first of November probably. I’m hoping on that day to go shopping and get a lot of costume stuff on sale. I just bought two more wigs today. One is bright red and the other is blonde. It’s rather fun having wigs. You know, I think I may post the script for the movie I just did. But not this post.

I just finished work on my latest movie! It took nearly six hours to complete all of the work on it and it is nearly nine minutes long. The six hours of work includes writing the script, which I started on this morning. It is now about midnight on Thursday so it was a good days work. I did all of it in one day! That is somewhat exciting:) I hope someday to be able to post movies on here, then you can see it. I will probably do a showing for my family tomorrow. Probably after breakfast. I am rather impressed with it myself and I hope everybody will like it. But I think I need to talk louder since I have to have my volume up very loud to hear myself talking. On the whole though, I think it is a good film though. I had a lot of fun making it. The video editing process was probably the longest one. Planning and writing came next then filming. I am not including the time it took to make the costumes as I all ready had all of them hanging in(or on the floor of) my closet. So hopefully “The Item That Shall Not Be Named” will be enjoyed by my family.

I don’t really like exercising much. Especially when I have to wake up early and walk three miles with the family which I have now done for three days in a row. My legs currently hurt a good deal. However talking with Daniel and Andrew is kind of fun and we have been talking of Movie ideas and the Mikado and other subjects. I usually can do about half or a little more of the walk without getting too tired but the last few hills… Ugh. Despite the fact that I know it is extremely health for me(at least I am told so) I don’t really like. Especially getting up in the morning early. Even a school bus passes us sometimes! But when it does I think “I’m glad I’m not going to school and can just go back to bed all morning”. That is what I’ve been doing a lot of, going back to bed. I enjoy being home. I was going to say “home-schooled” but the amount of schooling I’m doing at the moment is not very great. Lucky me:) So a little walking isn’t very much and I’ll soon get used to it. At least, that is going to be what I’ll keep telling myself at early, cold, hours in the morning. But I’m thankful it isn’t summer when it is very hot and I would be sweaty. Anyway I felt it was time for a post and time to mention walking so years from now I can remember it.
