Duuuuuude  
Finished the draft of chapter five. 7,842 words. Sixteen pages. That's over half the length of the whole bloody story so far.


BLOODY HELL!

*Flails for a while*

Anyway, I'll have to let it sit for a few days, then I'll do a last edit and hopefully post on the weekend. It's not perfect, but if I wait for perfection then I'm going to be waiting a very, very long time. It's good enough.

In other news:
I got a MASSIVE amount of holiday pay from my job, (turns out I'd worked there for just on a year, so was eligible for annual leave and as such got 2 weeks full-time paid holidays. @_@ meep!) Although most of it is going straight to paying off debt, me and one of my flatmates went halves over buying a small telly for my room. (My room wins because it's cleaner, and that's saying something!) Because the telly in the common room is both too small and is kinda annoying to use when there are people around. Also, I wanted to set up my Playstation, but I didn't want it in the common room because my evil flatmate would probably break it or spill maple syrup all through the controller or something equally strange. Other than that, when I get my money back for my course books, now I can spend some of it on crap as well as debt-repayment. I've decided to get the complete Roswell series. (Only ever saw the last season) Really looking forward to it.

Still haven't got another job. Waitin. -_-

What'cha upto? I wasted the whole day because APPARENTLY, my friends have even less study-willpower than I do and when we meet to study together that means meeting to sit around and talk and play video games. It wasn't even my FAULT this time!!! *grumps* Might have to do some later on tonight instead.

Didn't get a call today about any job. Bummmmed. :/

I tried to read the fic you wrote the other day, (not last night, the one before), but I was tired and all the different names I don't associate with anyone made me really confused so I gave up, sorry. But luckily everyone else kicked your ass when you said it was crap so I wasn't needed. *grins*

Singing~. I wasted most of the day trying to work on my voice...harder than I thought it'd be and the song's Japanese so I'm having issues memorising the lyrics and when I have issues memorising the lyrics I tend to forget any uninteresting bits of the melody so...yeah. Biiiiit messy.

That's no good :( I'm sure you will soon though.

But I've shown you DBSK....if you look TVXQ up on wiki I'm sure they have names-with-pictures .__. but anyways, it was 30minute-unrevised-fic, of course it's going to be slightly crappy '__';;; I don't understand you people.

Also, four SuJu members were in a pretty nasty car crash, and one of my friends offended one of my other friends.....today...'__' idek what to make of this week, seesawing all over the place as it has been.

Working on singing cannot be a waste of time. It is a universal impossibility! I'm still freaked out by the memory of you and Simon singing that Japanese song hard-out together @ Karaoke. Perfectly in sync and sounding fantastic. It was a genuinely surreal experience.

:/

Well, there's a difference between seeing someone in a picture and _seeing_ someone. Also, the nature of fanfic is that it works because the readers already know most of the backstory and/or the characters. That doesn't work so well for me, esp in a short fic.

Just because it was unrevised and didn't take you very long to write doesn't mean it should be innately crap. >:[ Especially if you're a capable writer who knows what makes short fic work. Don't complain if it's fantastic! Enjoy the ride!

Oh LAME! Are they okay? (SuJu members). And, lame at your week. :( No making my mimei sad. >:[

Ah, I should've been doing other stuff though, yknow? XDD Really?? It was surreal? NEAT!

That's true. Actually that's utterly true and it's exactly what I thought when Danielle commented on fics, because she doesn't know TVXQ so I think a lot of it didn't quite hit home...yeah, you're right.

I don't mean it was total crap. I just mean it's not fantastic or anything.

Yeah totally lame :( 3 of them seem to be okay, although some people are worried about Eeteuk refusing to take a CT scan. Kyuhyun (the youngest of SuJu) seems to be in the most worrying condition though, but hopefully they'll all be okay.
And yeah, lame *sigh* s'life I guess.

Yeah, I know. (Story of my fucking LIFE). Yeah, it was like, all of a sudden I'm IN JAPAN, with professional pop-singers right next to me. @_@ (And that's coming from someone who has grown up surrounded by professional-level musicians, not just some music-random.)

I mean, not to say that you can't appreciate good writing and good character interaction when you see it. (I LOVE some of your Luna Sea fics. In fact, I love heaps of your fics where I have no idea.) But it can be hard to get the true meanings and... subtleties of things. Especially from the way you write which is full of subtleties.

Meh, what's the meaning of fantastic anyway? Just because it's not inspired enough to go down in literary history doesn't mean it's not delicious to read. And Deliciousness, (in my opinion) = not crap. :P

Oh wow, I hope they'll be okay. :(\

Life can be poos, it's true.
