    There's no marching band practice next week on Monday, so there's a reason I can spend more of my summer vacation in peace. ^^

    Awesome feeling :)

    I just worked out why one of my characters is being threatened!

    I realised the other day that my plot goes from middley nothingness to an action packed conclusion with very little rising action.
    I really needed a complication to pop up around the area I'm writing now. And tonight I realised that my blackmail subplot totally ties all this together and gives me some "why has Andrew disappeared" action. So I'm really inspired again. Yay!

    And I apologise to anyone who just read that, as I know I must make no sense at all. I'm happy anyway :)

    So I went to a fan convention this weekend (I know, I'm a dork) and met Jared Padalecki and freakin Jensen Ackles (one of my biggest celebrity crushes) of Supernatural. Awesomeness. Great guys. Oh, and HOT. Just had to share :D

    It's been nice and cloudy and cold these past few days, which is a nice break from the heat, and Walleye Weekend is this weekend, so I'm excited. :D

    Oh my god, I have a job interview at a pharmacy at the end of the month. I'm probably not qualified, but someone read my CV, and they want an interview. Oh my god. I might actually make some money. //Deep exhale

    Congrats on the job interviews, Gigi and Ashleigh. Good luck.

    Mmm chocolate.

    I just got given a mint Aero. And I remembered that I have a box of Quality Streets, although I only like half of them. But yeah, yay for chocolate.

    Congratulations, prospective employees! :) And that sounds like so much fun, Lord Malum. Whenever I get to the point where I can make an investment in a house, I'd love to get a run-down one and restore and make it beautiful.

    I've been writing a lot. I punched out just under 8000 words last night and wound up working on it until about 4 in the AM. --I was angry that I ended up waking up at 12:30PM as consequence (now, at 4:30, it still feels like morning. Ugh), but it feels good to be so passionate about not only the act of writing but an idea that I devised and flushed out again. It's been a long while since I've been truly happy with something that I've written. Ego booster! :)

    I have finals next week, along with a presentation and a paper (the kind I don't want to write, hah!), so I'm going to have to exercise sincere discipline... Hmm.

    I'm also feeling a bit better in general. I went out with people from my lab last night for dinner and drinks --before I got home and word-purged. At first I had expressed hesitation, as I'm the new, young kid, and it just felt funny to mix work life with social life. But I eventually just said what the hell and went out, and on the way home everyone said they were very happy that I came out. That felt nice. :)

    Darn, I already saw that one. I had the same feeling. Not bad but not great either.
