I was out with a friend today, and I noticed something very interesting–I don’t move the way I used to. I’m not sure when things changed, or exactly why, but it hit me as I draped myself over something or other, standing talking to my friend, that I was (here’s the Weiss references) standing like Yohji would.
Yes, I do realize that probably means nothing to you. Maybe this will. Yohji is very at ease with his body, he is in very good shape and he knows it. So are all the other florist/assassins, of course, but Yohji–I’m not sure how to explain it. And it doesn’t matter. What matters is that I was doing that. I felt relaxed, and free, and happy to be where I was.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I think I was walking around tense and upset all the time, before. But I must have been doing something different, to have noticed how free I felt today.
I do tend to get into my characters. Maybe that’s all it was, my ‘guys’ having a little fun expressing Luc, who seems to have a lot in common with Yohji. If that’s the case, it’s a good thing I wasn’t being Lan instead, as someone might have gotten hurt. ::grin:: I really am looking forward to writing those guys.
Next Thursday is my last day of work for a month. I think I’m going to schedule my days and try to stick to it. Like first thing in the morning, Hope and I practice karate, then she goes to day-care, I quickly run any errands needing doing, head home to work on Eve, which doesn’t require plotting, I have that. Then take a midmorning break to tinker with the house and spend some time on my mystery hobby (not ready to share, sorry) get back to work on, say, Luc and Lan, cook lunch and plan dinner, work on Luc and Lan some more, another break, maybe for learning Spanish since I’ve discovered I have a CD-ROM for the job… Get the kid, make dinner, family evening, bedtime. Sound good?
Unfortunately it will probably be more like–drag out late ’cause I stayed up too late, forgo taking Hope to day-care ’cause she already lost field trip privileges (she does it often) try to keep her from spending the day watching TV, which will mean I don’t get a dang thing done in here, give up and spend the day reading badly-written fanfics and telling myself I’ll work tomorrow, only I won’t manage to get to bed early because I don’t want to admit I spent the whole damn day doing nothing…
I have a month. I will try really hard not to waste too many days like that! Cheer me on, folks.
