Palfrey's life

Yay, I'm finally back on LJ. Ok, I'm only really caught up by about a week at most, but after the first few hundred entries I tend to glaze over a bit. So, after my brief phase into whiny for the last entry, here's a few more happy(some of them)/random things.

• Got to meet Carolyn Forsman at a Xmas market thing at Grand Central station (how cool is that!), so I now have a replacement helix bracelet! As well as a rainbow-coloured spirally thingy


• Realised I've travelled somewhere over 18,000 miles in the past month and a bit. That's a hell of a lot. The "I'm spending my life on a plane" feeling has worn off by now


• Someone else I know (Laura) is getting married in 2005. That makes 3 weddings I'm going to now. Wow. Now there's a social schedule. And we have greymaiden having a sprog. Makes me worried heading towards 24 rapidly and all these people doing these big life things. Am thinking I want piece and quiet for a bit still.


• My office-mate has decided to quit. He's been feeling a bit depressed for a while, and has decided to go into the world of work. This wasn't entirely unexpected, but is still a bit jarring


• I'm about to publish some of my work as a Technical Report 'cause the journal process takes forever, and people want to reference me *now*. That is several kinds of cool

Planning on doing my usual Xmas with parents/new years at bris thing, but this relies on finding somewhere to crash. Would like to bother someone *other* than the House of X this time around, so any volunteers would be most welcomed. I don't take up much space!
