Camping this week. Yay!

BTW, if anyone wants a postcard let me know. Comments will be screened so you can leave your address there or you or email it to me at liptonrm [at] hotmail.com. Whichevs. Course, if I already have your address you're getting a postcard whether you want one or not. *cue evil laughter*

Today is for cleaning. And meal planning. And possibly typing up the family history. It won't be a glamourous day but it will be a day.

OMG, my great-great grandfather had horrible grammar. I'm typing up the family history he put together and in the first five pages there is a paragraph that is at least a page long. That combined with the random tangents, the awkward transitions, and the random commas thrown around left and right makes me want to scream in frustration. But it all has to be re-typed seeing as the pages are too aged to scan properly so I'll attempt to turn my brain off until the job is done. *takes deep breaths*

That reminds me, one of the things I do to take my mind off of the stress of school and like situations is write random snippets of my plague apocalypse world. It's a good writing exercise and has somehow made the post-apocalyptic world into my happy place which is humorous on all sorts of levels. Anyway, I had the urge to put them up online a couple days ago so now I will share a couple snippets with you all. Enjoy.

You know what's kinda funny? The fact that I began this whole entry complaining about grammar and than I posted a whole bunch of writing that hasn't been meticulously edited. There's a kind of irony there. ;-)
