sholio: sun on winter trees (Autumn road)

Ack, I'm leaving tomorrow (well, it's after midnight so technically Friday, so ... tonight) and, am I ready? Not really. Though I have my Christmas shopping done and wrapped and all stacked in a pile of boxes to be mailed tomorrow.

I always get into an "aargh, don't want to go anywhere" state of mind the last couple of days before I travel. Then I get there and I'm just fine and enjoy myself. But for some reason, no matter what I have to look forward to, I have to talk myself into not just changing my mind and huddling at home instead. I suspect I'm a born homebody. Having my new laptop to take with me helps, though; it's like a little piece of home away from home.

Since the only ficathon I have hanging over my head now is [livejournal.com profile] lostcityfound, I ... kinda went and signed up for another one. >.> [livejournal.com profile] the_rmwc is holding a Rodney h/c ficathon and, well ... like I can say no to that. (Note: I found the rules confusing, so I asked for a clarification -- it's not a fic exchange, but rather, a prompt will be assigned to you.) And it's Amnesty time at [livejournal.com profile] sga_flashfic again; there are a couple stories that I started over the last couple of years that I'd really like to finish, so, hmm ... I guess we'll see.

Have a nice trip! I get the "don't wanna leave!" jitters a few hours before leaving as well, even if it's a trip I've been planning myself for a long time and have been looking forward to. I think that anybody who is a bit in love with their house is going to feel it :-P

Have a good trip!

As much as I love getting out and doing things, the actual act of packing and traveling is less than fun for me. The journey is not always more fun than the destination.

And oh... shiny challenges, especially amnesty time. Oh, amnesty time, why do you tempt me so?

Have a great and safe trip. I joined the Rodney h/c ficathon too. I can't turn down a chance to whump Rodney
