Is that a challenge I see?

I just got back from a spur-of-the-moment overnight excursion to the Olympic Penninsula (lavender farms! Hurricane Ridge! Indian food! And I brought back presents...), and I was going to write up a post about it. However, a certain person on my f-list has just posted a big post about characters. My answer is a bit longer than fits in a comment, I think.

I went over 24 hours without a computer. I think that merits the two posts that are forthcoming.

Also, the LJ fairy came through!

No Power in the 'Verse can stop my Whim

By 11:30 on Friday morning, I had eaten breakfast, showered, been to the bank, paid several bills, and *finally* taken care of some errands that had been long pending. I had a long weekend ahead of me because of the holiday (I get paid holidays now, hurrah) and nothing between kyudo in the evening and the Tanabata (also called Hoshi Matsuri) festival on Monday morning.

Lying on the (clean) carpet while L wandered through the stretches that I also was supposed to be doing, I realized a whisper of a feeling rising inside me like a curl of incense smoke. I wanted to go somewhere. I had finances (I had balanced my checkbook and gone to the bank, remember), opportunity, company (L had Saturday off also), and motivation. A few minutes of calculation assured me that I also had means. You know why? Because beyond the metro bus system and the state ferries, I have Flexcar!

"What do you think?" I asked my roommate and longtime fellow partner in spontaneous out-of-town trips. "Wanna go?"

If, as you live your life, you find yourself mentally composing LJ entries about it, post this exact same sentence in your Live Journal.

--------------------------------------

1. Take your friends list and select up to twenty people. [Hah! I defy these limits.]
2. Say one thing that you love about each person.
3. Have those people do the same in their LJ. [optional]

Yes, you're alphabetical. Get over it.
