Scarce presence heads up.

f1renzeI'm leaving the country on Thursday for a month. It's for both vacation and work and I will miss you all so much OMG. I agonized over whether or not I should bring my CPU -- the thought of being without it for so long was pure horror -- but I was worried about security clearance, because even though I'd done it before, it was pre-2001. So I went through the asking around and the checking with the airline and the angsting, only to find out that the thing can't even fit in my carry-on. =))=))
So. In order to avoid having a panic attack if, say, I have a sudden urge to watch Linzee's Hello, Timebomb or Kanzeyori's The Fragile or heres_luck's Superstar or sisabet and Lum's Whatever or Pips' Ordinary or SDwolfpup's Coin-operated Boy, I spent some time yesterday burning heavily-rotating vids into CDs. I burned some source too, because even though there's almost no chance in hell I will vid, I just can't live without my Ripped Full Screen folder of clips on me.
There's a chance I won't be as miserable as expected without my computer life, though. There's this big part of me that's kind of suppressed when I'm in the US. It's time to unleash the Asianhead within. Be afraid: I will be eating my favorite fruit ever that my American friends have dubbed "garlic-and-dead-fish fruit" and REALLY think I'm in heaven. Be very afraid.
I'm used to the long flights by now (though I might hyperventilate if thoughts of Lost come attacking me at random), and I want something good to read. In an ideal world I would be reading print outs of hot fics from you people, but Le Sigh, I can only hope. So can someone rec me your favorite can't-put-down contemporary novel(s)? I don't like crime stories but I love the gay. Thank you.
I will be attending my good friends' wedding reception less than 2 hours after my plane lands. It takes forever to get through immigration and customs and getting my luggage, and the city's traffic is worse than heading Wisconsin from Chicago on a Friday afternoon (where 2 hours can become 9), so I guess I'll be doing my make-up in transit in Japan. =))
I've been running around like crazy preparing for the leave that I'm so behind on flist. I have seen quite a few of the drabble meme things, though, and wow. So, so many people can write so well around here. Please excuse me for the lack of feedback but I love them all. I do.
Amidst it all, I've been watching Buffy S3 and S4. I started with S3 because I only wanted to see the seasons that had Faith in them. But man, I bawled through the entire S3 and Angel is hot. OMG okay, I take back everything I've said about Angel being old and stuff. Deeply sorry here. I'm just glad Wendy didn't post my embarrassing lusting from chat. I swear I had other thoughts too, but I'm 50 million years too late so who cares. And I've sort of forgotten them. Anyway, now I'm in desperate need of an Angel icon from that scene where, um, he practices fighting meditation-style? And Buffy says "I didn't know you could do that?" Yeah. Hot, QaF-style, gleaming sweaty naked torso please. I want it to look like he just got done fucking a trick in Babylon. I would be forever grateful.
I will miss Halloween, Thanksgiving, and of course the election OMG. I will be wearing my Gone Voting T-shirt in my pretending that I can actually vote. Please multiply your non-Bush votes by 57,284,684 on my behalf. I can be influential, you know.
In sum: I will miss you all so much. And Angel is hot.
