So one of my important files have vanished. It was my stuff file. Everytime I would write a drabble or just like a half a page of story and I wanted to keep it but not give it it's own file I would put it in the Stuff file. The Stuff file has vanished. I've had it since 1994, it has my earliest works with my world and Alec. I am very pissed about it. I can't seem to find it anywhere. It was over 89 pages of ten point font single spaced writing. YEARS of work gone. *sighs*

It seems like we might be going Hawaii for a week this year for summer vacation. That should be fun. I've always wanted to go to Hawaii. That and Alaska.


So you know those ribbons that are on the back of cars now a day? The support our troops and what not? I saw one today for "Autism Awareness" on the back of a green pick up truck. That was spiffiness. I want one, but it won't stick to the back of my car. It's a plastic Saturn and that doesn't take magnets.

There was an article today in the paper about how PETA wanted the Long Beach aquarium to stop serving fish in their cafeteria. They said it was like serving Poodle burgers at a dog show. I think that's silly. After all we don't EAT dogs. We eat fish. Fish is a part of our diet. We are apart of the food chain and we eat fish. They might as well suggest to take off all meat on the aquarium's menu. People are silly sometimes. There are so many other things that we should worry about besides if an aquarium is serving fish.

But if they want to make a fuss about it, they can.

I want one of those Autism things too. My sister in law has one, and I keep forgetting to ask her about it.

Did you read The Curious Insident of the Dog in the Nighttime? I know we talked about it, I just forget if you said you'd read it or not. It was pretty good.

I don't think I'd want to eat fish after looking at them all day (wouldn't want to eat fish anyway)but I totally agree with you. We were at an aquarium recently and my friend who I was with was totally in the mood for clam chowder. So there you go.

PS - Hawaii is really nice. I hope you get to go.

I started reading the book but it wasn't doing anything for me. It wasn't like the book was bad, but it was explaining stuff that I already knew. Kind of like if someone were, in a book, to start to explain going to the bathroom and go into it in great detail and even describe the bodily functions and how it felt when it was done.

You'd be like, yeah okay. Couldn't you just say he went to take a piss?

I guess it's because when they say that the person is Autistic I already know how they think and act and everything else is just... well why are you telling me this, I know it already. I imagine it's good for people who aren't autistic, but for me it's like.... um okay this is buggering up the narrative, get to the story.

(Are you on like MSN or AIM orsomethinglike that?)

Yeah, I do have an AIM thingy - it is ckcalutius. I'm not on it just at the moment. Am going home soon. Could arrange to be on this evening, if you're going to be around.

Sorry about losing your work. A year or so ago, I lost a short story of mine that I really liked. It really sucked, and that was just one piece. Hope you can find it!
