My to-do list is staring at me with large, catlike eyes, demanding that I bow down to it and do all the things that are listed on its white, blue-lined front.  But I have chosen to ignore it for the moment.  I am now typing madly, as my writer brain demands that I post an entry, even though technically I don't have the time to do it in. 

My lack of commenting finally caught up with me, as you can see.  Or maybe you can't see, since you're no longer reading this blog because the airheaded authoress has forgotten to comment you back.  After all, what reason is there to leave comments on a blog if those comments are not going to be returned?  So go ahead and not comment, dear reader.  Or comment saying that I should comment you.  Force me out of my little I'm-not-contacting-anyone cave. 

What have I been doing with my life when I should have been commenting?  I've been trying to finish up school, and I only have three days left, huzzah!!  I've also been reading Jane Eyre, trying to garner readers for my fanfiction (I see you all were scared away by my last post.  After all, you thought to yourselves, fanfiction for the Little Mermaid 2 can only be trash.  Shame on you: you should know me better than that by now!), scurrying to finish my submissions for SARI, listening to the lovely rain that kept falling and falling and falling, writing little odd snatches even though I was supposed to be working on my main novels, reading all sorts of lovely advice about writing, watching people graduate, watching Indiana Jones, living through Fender-Benders, and learning to play the cup game!!  Ha, haven't I been busy!  So maybe you might have sympathy on me, dear reader, and post a comment despite the fact that I have been horribly rude and forgotten that I was supposed to comment you back.  I'm actually in a mood to comment back this time! 

This has been a lovely little ramble.  Maybe next time I post, I will be able to talk about Macadamia, the villain of the new story I'm writing.  Yes, I stole him from Katie and Altariel, and he now has a tale of his own!  *hugs Macadamia*
