It's not the devil's land, you know it's not that kind (every devil I meet becomes a friend of mine)

I have failed at updating the past few days, and I'm sorry for that - it was mostly a result of generalized exhaustion, because driving on wet roads makes me tense and twitchy all day long. Luckily, it cleared up the last few days, and yesterday was lovely and bright and sunny.

We got to see lionessvalenti in Ohio, and stayed the night at her grandmother's house. ...we didn't sleep much. Mostly, we stayed up talking about Torchwood and fandom, tried to write a little, and then... ended up putting on Countrycide, which was either a mistake or the best thing ever, because Tracey got a plotbunny of doom that I will be so very disappointed if she doesn't write.

And then we had a short drive to see yetregressing, who is OMGSOTINEH and adorable and I kind of wanted to steal her and take her with us. ...but that would be wrong, as she has parents who would worry. ONE DAY.

Stayed an extra day in Alliance, because Beka didn't want to drive moar, which was fine except for halfway through the day there was a weird Silent Hill siren we could find no reason for. It was not a tornado siren. I know for sure there were no tornadoes that day.

And then... the trip through Pennsylvania and New York was kind of meant to take two days, but we got to where we were planning on stopping and weren't tired (also, we got confused by the disconnect between mile markers and exit numbers, and briefly thought we'd fallen through a tiny rift somewhere on the highway). We are in Ithaca now, and I'm not sure it's sunk in that we're done driving. I has a Jae and a Pat and a Pen, and we had adventures in Ithaca last night (with too many dots), and today Beka and I will poke around and find a place to live. Wish us luck!

I've done a ton of research for the fic, a lot of which has disturbed the crap out of me. It's hard to find message boards with psychological reactions to this sort of thing because, I'm assuming, it doesn't happen often. I may have to start questioning guys I know about how they would react in the hypothetical situation.

...and I need to come up with more penises.

Ai has a tendency to do that to people. Magi and I were also considering stealing us an Ai.

Good luck with finding a place to live!

...I'm disoriented and bad with words right now. I FELL IN A POND TODAY. Yes, that is a good excuse. :|

HI IF IT WERE UP TO ME I WOULD LE YOU KIDNAP ME. I don't know what that is, because it's not kidnapping, but yeah. I've already told the anti-rape squad OF FAIL that if I suddenly disappear, he should DEFINITELY NOT look for me in Ithaca. :)

Also also, I was just talking to my friend Micah about the tornado siren thing, and just like here at school, every week they practice the tornado sirens. It makes me happy as I walk by and read a sticker on the back of a car that has the letters 'SH' on them--it stands for something that is not Silent Hill, but I prefer to pretend otherwise.

Good luck finding a place to live!

I'm also glad that you made it across the country safely!
