How did you choose your LiveJournal username? Is there an interesting story behind it? Submitted By |
The Delf part of my username is from a BJD make that I like, and the Neko part is in most of my online usernames. Came about mainly through my love of cats :)
I find it much easier to talk to people online. Especially if I'm talking to them for the first time.
Online, I get to think and change what I'm saying before I press the send button and they read it. On the phone or in person you don't get that.
Doesn't help that I'm quite shy either, and phones weird me out >.>
A stuffed toy dog named Wrinkles. You put your hand in the back of his head to move his mouth and make him talk.
Yes, I still have him. Although he's lost his t-shirt and a toy bone I'm told he once had.
I stayed home new years eve, and spent the minutes to midnight on the phone with James. Had no money to go anywhere, and was way tired because I'd been at work all day. Yep. At the job that finished before christmas no less. Confused? Let me explain.
Wednesday morning I was dozing in bed after letting my noisy cat out when my phone rang. Unknown number; I never used to answer these but since James' phone does it randomly sometimes I always answer incase it's him. This time it wasn't, it was John English (I'm sure there's a film by this name) from Royal Mail wanting to know if I was available for work.
I said yes, and managed to get out of bed, dressed and to the office in a record 40 minutes. I'm the only person that went in, and one of two they could get hold of. So yay me. I've managed to score myself some extra days at work. And the regulars there say that ringing up a christmas temp after their contract is totally unheard of, so I might be lucking at a job offer if I'm extremely lucky.
Nothing's been mentioned yet though, so cross your fingers for me, but don't count those eggs.

Here's my list:
( List )
I think there might be a couple that I missed out >.>; Next year I'll have to keep track better! But OMG I did it *dances*
Next year I'm going to keep better track of it, and I'm not going to include any books that are already on this list. It has to be 50(or more) new books!
Shouldn't be overly hard, because I have at least a dozen on my shelf that I have yet to read
High Points for me would be time spent with my boyfriend and my friends, as well as managing NaNoWriMo this year!
Low points include my Nana dying, coming home from University and being unemployed =/
I like gonig for (rather short) walks in the snow, and taking pictures, but I'm not a fan of snowballing or sledging XD .
I prefer to be inside if it's rainy unless I have to be out there, and I definately start to get cabin fever/depression if the weather stays bad for too long. Although saying this, I don't go outside if it's too hot, either!
Have you ever walked off a job on the spot? What drove you to it? Did you regret it afterwards? Submitted By |
Not exactly on the spot. I managed to do one day's worth of litter picking at the download festival this year and then jacked it in because it was just pure torture. Bent over for 10 hours picking up rubbish with my hands in the baking sun. Add to this that we only got 3 20 minute breaks, and whenever we went to our bags for water too often we got yelled at. Needless to say, 4 of us walked out on the first day, and the rest made it through.
I was supposed to work 5 days, but the morning of day 2 I couldn't move, my body hurt all over, I was badly sunburnt and I had mildf dehydration >.<
Been super busy lately. November turned out to be a lot fuller than I had originally thought. At first, I thought I could take it nice and slow and just focus on writing my NaNo novel. But then I got a call thatasked if I could satrt my christmas job a month early! So I said yes ^^
I finish my job on December 24th, and I managed to complete, and win, NaNoWriMo 2009! Here's the proofs!
So proud of myself, and everyone else who managed to finish also! :D
Soon comes the hard part, editing the damn thing! >.< Although I should really finish the story first. I think it's going to end up turning into a series, so I need to work out what I want to happen overall (although I'm sure it'll evolve as I go) and figure out how to edit my draft into something that is not only the first book in a series, but also works as a stand-alone novel O_O;
I might leave it for a little while and come back to it with fresh eyes in a couple of weeks.
My other story has been kind of calling to me ^^; I wrote it when I was 15/16 and haven't touched it since, although I have a bucket load of ideas to revamp it.
Ciao~
I doubt it. I feel socially awkward enough as it is. I can't even imagine waking up after however many years it takes to perfect these things and realise that you're pretty much a social alien.
Out of his movies, Uncle Buck and Home alone were my favourites.
(I have Uncle's with the surname Buck, and one of the really reminds me of Buck in the movie XD)
Each day is passing me by,
Leaving me behind.
I think I passed the time by reading and listening to music/the tv. Not sure which.

Lots of baby animals are cute though.
The freedom - only having to worry about trivial things like homework, and why you'd fallen out with your bestest friend (even though you'd make up a couple hours later, or the next day)
And your parents being able to make everything better.
It doesn't even have to be anywhere strange, I get scared in my own house late at night when everyone's in bed XD. I hate flushing the toilet late at night, because the noise makes me nervous. If I'm the last person in a room, I can't turn the light off to leave with my back to the door, I have to be facing the room, and have the door pulled almost all the way shut so I can slide my hand in and switch off the light.
Windows where I can't see out scare me too. At night when I can only see my own (scared) reflection, my mind conjures up beasties jumping at the window.
And a not so strange one to finish off - I get nervous walking past groups of drunken people. Men especially ^^;;
Bit of a long rant, so I'll hide it behind a cut. Read on if you're interested.

XD. I amuse myself too much.
Okay, so the other day, I decided that I was going to stop faffing about with my stories and just focus on one of them. At the moment, I kinda flit back and forth, and end up being confused.
So yeah. I'm gonna go sort out all my stuff so that I've got all the relevant information for the story I want to work on, and put everything else on my shelf out of the way so I don't get tempted to dive into something else instead.
I've even gotten myself a nifty little bar I can update to see & share my progress. Hopefully it'll also act as encouragement.
( Non-writing update below cut )
Can't think of much else to write, so I'll leave it there ^^.
Ciao~
