If you found a $100 at the library, would you pocket it or turn it in? What about at a diner or pub? Confess!

If I'm being brutally honest, I'd probably look around to see if anyone is looking for it. If not, I would probably keep it.

When was the last time you stayed up all night? What were you doing?


View 504 Answers

Last time I stayed up all night was the night I discovered Dr. Pepper turns me into a bit of an insomniac. Especially when I've drunk a 2ltr bottle of it!
I think I passed the time by reading and listening to music/the tv. Not sure which.

What do you miss most about being a kid?

View 503 Answers

The simplicity. Never having to think more than one day ahead, unless you were excited about something, then you'd count down the days.
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.

Empty parking garages, roadside motels, dark caves, dank basements, overgrown forests—what kind of setting makes you feel nervous?


View 501 Answers

Pretty much anywhere that's dark. I have a dangerous imagination, and it likes to imagine monsters to scare me.
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 ^^;;

.... by Lieutenant Procastination.

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.
3122 ~ 50000
 
I picked 50,000 words as my 1st target, because it seems a reasonable number. I think I read somewhere that most novels are at least 80,000 words. So I'm going to go for 50,000 and then up my target again once I reach that :3

Non-writing update below cut )
Can't think of much else to write, so I'll leave it there ^^.
Ciao~

Okay, so since November:

I lost my job. It was 2 weeks before christmas, and the amount of people staying had dropped a bit dramatically. I was pulled to one side and told that I was going to have to be 'let go' because the higher-ups couldn't justify hiring someone to come in for just 2 hours a day.

I'm now claiming Job Seekers, which sucks. But at least it's helping me to pay off the money I owe to Kexgill, the housing company I was with in Hull.

Speaking of Hull, after all the shit I was given by Hayley, I bumped into her Mum a couple of weeks ago in town. She told me that there was a box of my DVDs sat in her kitchen waiting for me to go and pick them up. I had no idea they were there, because Hayley hadn't bothered to inform me.

So Saturday morning I went up and fetched them. When I got home, I had a look through them and they aren't all there. I think that Hayley's gone through them and picked out all the ones she likes, or all the ones she thinks she's bought and kept them for herself.
 Whatever. I don't care anymore. I'd be happy enough to never see her again.

--------------------

Uni. I wanted to go to Derby Uni and do an access course, that way I would be able to go to DMU in Leicester and do their Journalism course.
Lots of the courses on the Derby Uni site say that you can get in with a pass in an access course, so just to check, I emailed them.
They emailed back saying that if I did the access course with them, it wouldn't qualify me enough to go on and do journalism. O__o, so you guys are ok with false advertising then??

Not that it matters, because the student loans company turned me down for extra funding.
You're only meant to get 3 years worth of funding for a normal degree course, and I used up 2 years worth at Hull. The only way I could go back to Uni would be if I wanted to repeat my 2nd year and do my 3rd as well. I wouldn't be allowed to start a new degree course from year 1.

Well, not unless I can fully fund myself. Which I can't. So I've been looking at some home learning courses instead. I found a nice one about Freelance Journalism that I'm quite interested in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm so glad to finally have the internet back at home. Just about ALL of my friends are online, which probably sounds really sad, but whatever :P. So because I've had no internet, I was going batshit crazy not being able to talk to any of them T____T


I'm in love with another BJD mold >_______<;;

That makes 4 guys in total now.

Julian - I actually have most of Juju. He's just headless >.>;;
Bastien - He was meant to come home first, but seems he's now second to Juju.
Kristos - from an RP I was in in AR. Smexy vampire =D
Leith - the latest of my wants .__. A merman character I imagined.

Im a bit BJD mad at the moment. After hiding Juju under my bed for months, I finally showed him to my parents. Only to find out that they knew about him, they just didn't know what he was. I've been making him a plaid suit.

It's an absolute bugger >.< completely hand sewn, and I've stabbed myself about a million times.

Also, I found out I'm not the only BJD lover in Derby!! XD
I've been tracked down by a girl on Den of Angels, who was as amazed as I was to have found someone else from Derby :)

While I'm still in BJD mode, here's pictures of the dollies I want ^___^

Julian - http://doll.luts.co.kr/item-img/DF_0711191-9.jpg That's the body he has at the moment. I haven't quite decided whether he'll have an El head or not.
Bastian isn't fully decided yet ^^;; kind of odd, really.
Kristos - [site's down =/]
Leith - http://hk.geocities.com/layla_mi/bgdoll/bgsap.html

I'm going to be working on Leith's backstory when I can find it ^___^


I think that's all I have to say for now.
Congrats if you've made it this far without skipping my ramblings <3 hehe
