    Went to a folk concert yesterday and afterwards I was going to ask for their autograph (yeah, I've never asked an autograph before and I was feeling silly :rolleyes:)- then my sister said: "Why don't you let the guitarist sign your guitar pick?" (I was carrying one in my pocket) so I decided to ask him, but he couldn't find a marker. Then he said I could have his guitar pick instead and I got his autograph on a piece of paper. (He also tried asking me out after that but I told him I had to go back home :p)

    I think I'll start asking guitar picks now on every concert I go to. It would make a pretty cool collection. :D

    Soul Sister, that's so cool! Bring a marker to concerts, too, then you can ask for their pick AND have them sign it. So awesome!

    Yeah, it was pretty cool. Next week Tuesday there'll be this guy singing who competed at Eurovision Song Contest for Belgium once, and he's pretty good. I plan on asking him for his pick as well. :D

    Also, I just made myself the most awesome sandwhich ever.
    I put barbecued lamb on it, and a salad with iceberg lettuce, tomato, cucumber, corn and mayonaise. I almost died from the deliciousness.

    F*** sake, I'm tired... but happy. :) Short version? It's been really warm here today, so I haven't been up for anything all day, The only thing I've eaten all day are a few waffle-hearts (the really small one, the size of your hand) and some peanuts. That's it. But because I didn't feel up for anything, I decided to sit down with the story I'm writing. That was 14.000 words ago, and I'm not done yet. It's 5:30 in the morning, and I only wrote this to take a quick break, then I'm back into the story. It's amazing what two liters of RedBull, being up all night and a little lesbian romance can do for a story. :D (relax, they only sleep next to each other with their underwear on and kiss a bit the next morning. Yet the whole thing spans 3.050 words. Yay me! Or them!) :D

    I had this absolutely amazing day with my wonderful friends. :love: :D I love how close we all are and how we're just like a family. It's been a while since we all chilled like we did and I'm glad we did. :)

    I decided to try my hand at taking some photographs earlier, using my dads digital camera. I'm not sure of the make but I managed to take some really good snaps with it. The best of which, was a hover fly resting on a dandellion among some lush green grass.
    I spent hours just in the garden, and feel like photography is to become a new hobby for me. That has made me very happy :)

    ^ That sounds awesome... Some of my favorite photographs I've taken came from a garden in Holland.

    I spent today making a giant plot chart. I've come to the conclusion that my plot is super complicated. But charting it out was really useful, and I think I have made all the notes needed to plug any plot holes.

    It was an exhausting experience, but I'm super happy now I've done it. I'm going to start on the improvements tomorrow, yay :)

    Congrats! :D

    Something small, but when my train ticket was clipped it was in the shape of a train. It amused me and I think it's so cool.

    Good job!

    I'm feeling as though someday I'm going to be able to look at my novel and not want to make any huge changes.

    Not today, of course. Today I'm rewriting the whole first chunk of it. But hopefully soon(ish). And that makes me feel good. :D
