Things and such

So, now I am just two-and-a-half weeks away from my wedding. I don't feel very nervous about it, and I don't know if that is good or bad. Some people have told me that it is normal to have some amount of nervousness by now, while others have indicated that if you have any second thoughts whatsoever you should call the whole thing off. I'm not planning to do that even if I do get nervous. The funny thing is that the people who have said that it is normal to get nervous are people who have been married once and never divorced, while the people who say that nervousness indicates that you are about to make a mistake are either divorced or in the process of getting divorced. There is even one woman who told me that she was nervous before her first marriage, eventually got divorced, and was not nervous about her second, which "took". I think her exact words were, "I didn't have and second thoughts about it the second time, and that one took".

In other news, I am getting excited about NaNoWriMo (I am excited about the wedding too, just not nervous). I really think that I will finish this year, and that is really important to me, because until you have successfully written a novel in NaNoWriMo, you cannot lead a local group of writers during the event. I want to be able to do that, because then I can find some place to write and encourage other people to join me. I would say things like, "yeah, I've done it, you should hang out at [place], 'cause that's where I'll be and we can goad each other along".

Well, I've got to go eat lunch now. Fare thee well.
