    And so my laptop embarks on the long and perilous journey from its beloved home to the unknowns of the Seller's Hospital. May it reach its destination without a scratch and may the doctors find the damage buried deep within the circuits.

    My blog had its anniversary today. Also for the fellow bird lovers out there, I went to a city park before twilight and a great blue heron migrated in and flew down onto the pond. Talk about fortunate timing!

    I feel like my brain has been cracked like an egg.

    I don't know whether or not to be happy that she's there or sad that I'll probably never see her again.

    Finally finished this piece of work for a client -- 45,000 words! I feel so free. :cheerleader:

    I also realised pacing yourself writing that much is so much different from NaNoWriMo...

    I wish you the best with whatever you're going through right now, judging by that song, it aint too great. If you ever need an ear, I've got two.

    She was the one that got away, and I was dreadfully expecting that the next time I would see her was in an obituary. I'm reliefed and utterly petrified as well.

    Seasons change, I suppose. And even though she left in the spring of our friendship, she has seen many summers since, I hope.

    I rearranged my room and have a new armoire acting as a closet. I have not had a closet in the year I've lived where I live. My room is so cozy now.

    I am feeling happy/excited because I'm strongly considering applying to PhD clinical psychology programs. I'm going to talk to some psych professors at my alma mater to get a better feel for what graduate school is like and what the job prospects are like.

    Stephen King mentioned my town in one of his books - may have been a refrence to a nothing of a town but still kind fun to see it there in the book.

    Happy that I can turn, "The uploader has not made this video available in your country" into the video playing by flicking on ZenMate in FF and proxying through the US.

    I'm feeling really good today. At long last I've found a psychiatrist I can work with, one who doesn't treat me like a number and genuinely seems to have my best interests at heart. Things had been getting a bit one step beyond and I realised that medication was needed. I'm now over initial hump, my tolerance has started to plateau and I've now been prescribed the full dose despite being a little underweight. If that dose is too much, he's even formulated a back-up plan, so I'm chuffed to bits. I only wish I'd found him sooner but, ah well. Maybe it needed to get that bad to feel this good. :D

    Got the film through for my SLR, (need to order the battery now)

    oh, and i handed my notice in at work last Thursday, in preparation for University, and the senior management actually appreciated me giving them the extra couple of weeks notice to be able to start posting advertisements for my job,

    and strangely, the same senior management seem to be a lot nicer to me recently than before, its kinda odd, because before then, they wanted nothing to do with me, might be the new girl they got in, made them realise i'm actually pretty decent (even in a foul mood)

    Came up with an exciting idea for a survival/horror story to write. Got up to 509 words today, shaping up to be an exciting ride. :) Finally something to take my mind off of the same ol' fantasy/sci-fi/historical mystery wheel. Time to give those things a break and slip into survival/horror. :D

    I know exactly how my fantasy story's going to end. :) First time I've ever really known how any of my stories will end, to be honest. :D

    They all end the same way, you close the cover.
