As many of you have already noted, I have not been doing much writing since December of 2009.  This is not because of anything specific, but rather because I have been overwhelmed by life, work and travel.  I was in Costa Rica, and then in Vancouver, and now I am preparing to travel to both Rome and London.

In the past, I used to carry my laptop with me on every single trip, something which I have foolishly stopped doing.  To Rome and London my little writing friend will join me and so force me to write write write and not feel so sad that I have not been writing.  So much more of the same amazing sentences as this later; no doubt you are all over the moon.

Additionally, I feel as though I must offer a shout-out to life, because this bastard has kept me from writing as often as I would like.  My God, I am a supreme asshole for ‘Boo Hoo’ing because my social circle, family circle and travel circle are generally filled with amazing things that remove me from the front of a computer screen.  Pardon me as I take a moment to reflect on my assholeishness.

Right.  Now that that’s done, I will add that tonight is the very first night in nearly a month that I have taken to myself.  I had some invites to see and visit with good people I adore and I instead said Screw you and your invitation to socialize, I’d rather make out with WordPress…only, it sounded more like I would really love to but need to go home, do a load of laundry and just chill out while doing a little writing.  It’s been ages since I forced myself to do that and it’s making me sad and edgy. So thank you for the invite, but I’m going to have to take a rain check. I am rambly that way.

So here I am.  And I am excited to be here and rambling away.

I have also promised myself that I would write no matter what; that even if I were tired and exhausted, I would still force myself to exercise my writing muscle.  Quite possibly, this means that there will be a consortium of shorter and shittier entries.  Hurrah!

This is the first of many such short and shitty entries.  More to come!  Enjoy.

(Note that: I am tonight organizing both my Vancouver pics, as well as my Costa Rica pics.  Stories about both very soon.)
