Hark! An idea!

After my rather whiney post of yesterday I went to my floor's lounge to re-read part of a book to try and get a better feeling for it, and to see if I could have an brilliant flash that might pull me out of my idea slump. This lounge, I may point out, sits right in front of the front door to the dorm, with a window that faces the door. So everyone walking in could see me sitting there, reading.

I must have spent a combined half hour of the two hours I spent there talking to people that popped in to say hi to me, or to those who thought it'd be fun to come up behind me and scare me (saying "boo" or grabbing my shoulders shouldn't get such a rise out of me, but alas, my friends know that it works...). Rather reaffirmed my faith in my friends, or at least that I am loved. Made the work less hard, too.

And miraculously, just after one of my friends left me to my reading, an idea fell into my head. Not the strongest or most complete, but definitely workable. And given my dry spell on ideas lately, it was welcome. So I've grabbed it and run with it. Here's hoping that the juices flow for the next few days.
