Road Trip Madness

[revena]

Wow, have I not posted since Saturday? I guess not!

Er... Lesse... Things happened! Lots of them! Some involved fancy dresses, and some involved delicious deserts and speeches that made me cry and wonderful, wonderful WisCon experiences of all sorts...

But the thing uppermost in my mind is, of course, driving.

OMG, we have been driving forever. Except we can't have been, because that is actually how long we will be driving tomorrow.

kphoebe and I have been taking turns writing in the car, though, and we've actually managed to compose about 3,500 words of new first draft material. Go, us!

She's writing an entry on Jameson's laptop right now. She's sitting cross-legged on the bed where he's stretched out reading a signed collection of Ursula K. LeGuin stories. Karen would probably sit on her own bed, except that it's covered with books.

I should probably kick her off mine and Jimmy's bed so that I can go sleep in it, actually. We really do have hours and hours of driving to do tomorrow.

I'm going to try to write coherently and somewhat intelligently about the whole WisCon thing when I get back to Tucson. My brain is a bit too liquified from driving (I ALMOST GOT HIT BY A SEMI TODAY) to manage it now.

Wait, what? What happened with semi? I'm glad you guys are okay!

This jackass didn't reduce his speed or move over when I got onto the freeway from a rest stop, though there was plenty of time and opportunity to do one or the other (or, heck, both). He got within a half foot of my bumper (while I was flooring the accelerator rather desperately), and then passed me, only to go one mile below the speed limit once he was in front of me.

Some people should have more than just their license to drive revoked.

What an ass! People can be so ridiculous, and it's frustrating not only because it put you guys in danger, but because it also feeds into the prejudice against truck drivers and their ability to actually drive. Pet peeve of mine, and I'm absolutely seeing red because of both things.

Again, I am so glad you were able to avoid being run over. I hope he learns a lesson without hurting anyone else.
