Not.

[mrissa]

This is me not going to Madison for Andrew's wedding today.

This is me not applying to Viable Paradise this year.

This is me not making plans to go to the Bay Area with markgritter yet.

This is me not buying a membership for WorldCon or World Fantasy Con yet.

This is me not in a good mood.

This is me squaring my shoulders and going on with the day. All right, I've already asked you to tell me something good, and I've already asked about dreams. Silly fantasy writer question of the day (which does not make me silly fantasy writer of the day -- you can still vie for that title, some of you): if you got to have one object you currently own invested with magic, what object would it be, and what magic?

Alternately, do you know what your oldest possession is? and why have you kept it for that long?

My oldest possessions go back more or less to my birth--a yellow satiny blanket, a particular stuffed bear. I keep them because, well, I keep most things.

My possession that has existed the longest is one of my books--I'm not sure exactly which--and I've kept it because the reasons I got it in the first place are still good ones.

Magic. Hm. I'd say using gas is the personally most upsetting thing I put up with in my own life, so a magic car that ran without gas or oil or toxic fluids of other sorts would be wonderful. If it protected against accidents and injury, that would be good too.
