Do you ever have a midnight craving for cereal, but the only thing you have in the house in Peanut Butter Captain Crunch, which isn't very good in the first place and has been made slightly mushy by the swamp cooler from the time someone left the box a tiny bit open. Plus it's your roommate's and even though she's totally cool with sharing and hardly eats it, you still feel bad eating something that doesn't belong to you, especially when you aren't really going to enjoy it. And you can't just go to Wal-Mart to get better cereal because the wind is cold and scary, besides the closest Wally World is in a really sketchy part of town. And you don't want to change, but it wouldn't matter because some psycho will still yell come-ons at you, even if you're wearing your hoodie and your striped, sort of ugly but ultra comfy pj pants. So, instead of getting in the car, because you're really tired and shouldn't be driving, but can't sleep, you resign yourself to eating your awesome roommate's not-so-awesome cereal and make a weird, rambly lj entry.
Do you ever have that happen to you? Because I really hate that. |

Watch this commercial for the Skoda Fabia, then go here to watch the 'Baking of' documentary. It makes me want cake more than a new car, but either way it's a fabulous ad campaign. |

Out and about and off the internet for the next few days.
I think I'm becoming British through osmosis. All I ever want to talk about is the weather. That's only because it's been so insane lately - I'll be ready for desert air again, I'm tired of being damp. |

The only thing good about moving is the purging of old crap that comes with packing. I'm not sure that, thrilling as it may be, the satisfaction of carrying out a few bags of trash or charity shop runs is worth the hassle of apartment hunting and signing new leases. It's possible that listening to Damien Rice while it's gray, drizzly and wholly depressing outside probably doesn't make for the best packing atmosphere either.
Did get to see POTC 3 today. I'm completely indifferent to it. It wasn't great and it wasn't terrible and that's as far as my opinion on it goes. Plus I'd only seen 2 once when it was in theatres so I was lost on a few plot points.
I think a cup of coffee is in order. |

The sun and I are having a spat. I open the curtains because it's cloudy, then I go back to cleaning or reviewing for exams and next thing I know I'm being blinded by the sun, which has decided to show its face right in my personal space. So I shut the curtain. And then the sun hides behind the clouds. And then it repeats.
It's probably just, you know, weather or whatever, but I'm taking it as a personal affront. |

So today is a new beginning. Well, -ish. I turned in final essays on Wednesday and nearly final newspaper article drafts after that. Then today I went running after what was a decent night's sleep, so I figured I'd start using this lj bidness today too.
Whew, that was trying. Someday I'll be witty and know how to charm the internet through the telling of my adventures as me, but this is a start. I need more icons. And to figure out the content of this journal from here on out. But now sleep. |

To appease the mods of damnyouwentz. Full story on the way.
( Hey, look what I can do - yay lj cut )
-I feel like I'm stealing that from someone, but I certainly hope not. Also, I had an idea for a very simple story but the more I think about it's turning out to be rather porntastic, which I don't know if I'm ready to write yet, so we'll see what comes of it.
Night. More fic-ing to come. |

I began this writing journal over at blogspot but decided to move it over here. The following is the single entry I posted at blogspot:
June 12, 2006
I can't write anything on my own - forget this stupid stigma I have about my writing seeming stupid and trite and this fear I have about not wanting people I know to see it. It's more that whenever I sit down and try to come up with something, it all sounds like something else I've read or heard. I don't know if I want to write poetry or prose. I want someplace to vent, but I know with what is coming up for me this year, I shouldn't retreat to the internet - it has the potential to become more of crutch than it already is.
Also, this website is confusing as hell. What if you find a blog you like? Can you friend it lj? I need to get the fuck off the internet and write a paper.
Nothing like a little self-deprication and self-doubt about my writing skills to start off my writing journal, huh?
Anyway, I really wanted to move this journal to lj in an attempts to start writing fan fic and sharing. I need to get my first story done and submit it to some communities.
Also, in starting my first story, I realize that I really need a beta. Any takers? |
