*creeps into the room*

HAR!

What has been happening in the last few weeks of Page's life? Well:


Applied for jobs.
Had many arguments about money with my Dad
Thought about getting into politics simply coz this country pisses me of so much, but realised that I'm really pissed off with humanity, and that's not likely to change after 5000 years of trying. Somehow. Damn.
Read a bit
Managed to damage my wrist from reading too many scanlations (rapid manual mouse-scrolling for several hours is baaaaad).
Have not excersized half as much as I should.
Slept badly, lots. (Had a dream that I had been given a pet baby kangaroo, was frantically trying to take care of it.)
Stuff like that.
and:


Struggled with the most annoying chapter since the earth began; I only started writing it in like, October. Admittedly I haven't been working on it consistently for that whole time, but if it acted like a normal chapter it should only have taken about a month to write. After re-writing one scene three times, (finished on Sunday) and finishing another scene I had been avoiding since the chapter began coz it was too hard today, I'm up to the first edit now. Thank God. Hopefully everything will be okay as is and I wont have to re-write any other scenes, but at least it has been a challenge. That's what this fic is all about, after all.


*Yawn* Anyway, I really should go to bed, as after spending today doing practically _nothing_ all day, I should probably be proactive tomorrow. Clean stuff. Send out my C.V to a few more people, edit, excersize... stuff like that. Darn it's weird having no job and no study... It's like... what the hell do I do with all these _hours_ in my day?? And, before anyone suggests anything like: Maybe that study you still have to do, Page? Those assignments that are over 5000 words each? Uh, maybe those? Or maybe the shitloads of stuff around the house you could do to help out your mother? What about that? - I would just like to say.... hey, it's the holidays!? Right?? (_( )_) (_(

Hahahaa @ the scanlations - I'VE CREATED A MONSTER! but lol, I did about the same thing - I read like half that site in one night/morning.

Kangaroo dreams O.o I had a TERRIBLE nightmare last night. It was horrible *sigh*. I hope you sleep better.

I'm so proud of you on chap two!!! I mean, you did it, who cares how long and horrible the experience was :D I'm certain it's a valuable experience/learning curve.

Make a list!

5000 word assignments? what's that for?

btw, are you gonna be studying this year? (maybe you've already told me, sorry if you have :S)

It was mainly coz the pages were too big and had to be scrolled that was the problem... and, my obsession levels.. (Finished CUT btw, it was pretty sweet, I still like Rin! the most though, at least, the first volume, the others are a bit redundant).

Yeah, kangaroo.. such is my brain. Was was your nightmare aobut, or would you prefer not to say?

I'd like to think I am marginally better at writing since starting the chapter.

The assignments are from a subject I have to repeat this year coz I was a lazy-ass last year and didn't do it. So yes, I am semi-studying this year, but denfinately not full-time. Work work work instead. Then uni next year. (come to canterbuuuuury!!)

Oh, I'm looking forward to reading Rin!, but I'm having problems downloading stuff at the moment. Maybe I'll d/l at uni, although that would cost money =/

Argh. Being attacked by some really evil cats (which just sounds stupid, because A) CATS and B) I adore cats). I was so fucking scared though.

Ah, that should be somewhat cruisy then *nod*. I'm not going to Canterbury :( Auckland's about the worst I can handle...any smaller and I think I'd die. Or summin.
