Okay, so. I'm in Pittsburgh. I do not have a bed, so I'm sleeping in the as-yet-empty master bedroom.

There are a billion things I should be doing, probably, and I barely know where to start. Unpacking; trying to find a bike on craigslist; trying to find a futon anywhere; trying to find someone with a car to help me transport a futon . . . Not to mention that I'm already committed to doing work for one of my advisors tomorrow, then meeting with her Thursday, then meeting with someone to discuss using their venue for a festival in October . . .

Just. I'm excited to be in Pittsburgh, I'm excited to be starting school, I'm excited to be living off-campus, but there's all this responsible adulthood to deal with, and it's just -- yesterday I was eating homemade cake in the house where I've spent every August as long as I can remember, y'know? I don't feel real qualified to be a responsible adult at the moment.

Aw, fuck, I'm getting maudlin and homesick and I've been away from my parents less than twenty-four hours. I should go get some lunch and coffee and see about unpacking some stuff, doing something productive. That'll make me feel better.

On a more cheerful note! I gave in and got the big honkin' Rihannsu anthology for the train. I didn't get that far into The Romulan Way before I fell asleep, but I did get far enough to get to the passenger list for the cruiser McCoy's on, the Vega.

And its inclusion of one H'rewiss.

OH DIANE DUANE YES.

Yeah I saw it too, last time I reread that.

Sometimes I think these aren't deliberate references, but just Diane reusing names semi-consciously -- see also "Those things will blow us all to Areinnye if they can" in My Enemy, My Ally.

I had totally forgotten that! Oh, Diane Duane. I love her tiny nods to her own other canons.
