Feb. 23rd, 2007 10:26 pmOkay, the best way to spend a random Thursday afternoon is to get kidnapped by one of your friends to go hang out at another friend's apartment and geek out. Especially when the other friend's apartment is beautiful, with old wood trim and a built in china-cabinet thingy. Okay, so there was pretty much no furniture, but the carpet was soft to sit on and the tea and company were both excellent. Really, nothing like geeking out about old sci-fi shows and book debates over tea to make your afternoon.
Well, more like geeking out and pillow fights.
And then, when I got home I found out that I'd won the most recent H_E drabble contest *insert shocked face here* Um, yay for playing around with style? Dad even called me up to congratulate me and talk, which makes for double yayness.
In further geeky news, I had a fun conversation today at the library. I saw the girl who worked the desk the hour before I did reading La Resputa, one of the World Cultures books I read freshman year and we started talking about letter writing styles and how it's now a dying form. That led to us discussing briefly the concept that blogging is becoming a new literary form in its own right, and that a hundred years from now people might be studying our writing conventions and styles as something interesting of a past age. I keep wondering what future generations are going to think of the concept "made of awesome", much less cat macros. The less thought about their reaction to chatspeak, the better.
