Bad Juju Corner of Doom
I have a corner of bad juju in my house.
It's not even bad juju, it's awful, spit-on-your-soul shitty juju that makes me want to avoid it all costs. And of course that is where my computer desk is. With my laptop. With my awesome hobby.
I think it's because it's a corner. I feel trapped in there and I don't even have claustrophobia, it's just an uncomfortable and bad work zone. I realize this at work because I have a lot of open space around me and I can think and be FREE! I might be exaggerating just a teeny bit, but it is the complete opposite of how I feel when I'm at home. Not. Cool.
I've gotten monstrously lazy since I moved into my apartment, it's awful. I get home, I play with the dog for two seconds, change and then plop my ass on the couch. Boyfriend makes dinner. We eat at the dining room table (because we have a dog now although I eat all over the apartment still when he's not there, rebel that I am) and then go into the bedroom and watch some more TV. I read a bit and then bedtime.
This to me = laziness. I don't want to go near my computer anymore when I'm at home, it's actually disgusting. I get annoyed just logging on and checking my Facebook or e-mail, partly because I know I'll be happier doing it here at work... So I have come to a conclusion:
I need another desk. And I need a new computer.
The new computer part is because my boyfriend is on my laptop more than I am now and he has uploaded a whole bunch of random crap on there like poker and other stuff that I don't even use and it has bogged the hell out of my computer. I tell him, it's old! Give it a little breathing room! But I've wanted a new computer for a while now anyway, so I thought I would get a little desk for the bedroom and put all of my stuff in there when I get a new computer and I know exactly where it's going as a fan is just sitting there AND it's next to my balcony doors AND it's light and pretty in there!... At least I'm hoping this is a suitable solution, I literally feel boxed in with my other space - the bad juju corner - and need to come up with another solution because I'm going CRAZY when I get to work and see people's pretty wallpapers and think: I have an idea for a wallpaper! Or I'm going to continue writing Some People Need Saving!... but I'm at work so I get a little bit of it in before forcing myself to close out of it because I need to work.
*deep breath* So I'm going to start saving up for a computer. It doesn't need to be anything fancy, just a simple desktop would do. Which would mean I would have to buy a monitor for it too but that's ok. I wanted to get a Mac but damn it all I wouldn't be able to afford that for a while so I've decided a simple desktop that does what I simply want will suffice.
And after all of that rant, I feel better! I can't even explain the bad juju of that corner, it's just a nasty place to sit and the few things I've made there have been dark and gloomy.
Anyway! I found a new site that I like: Clicky! Of course it doesn't mean it changes anything, but it looks better than me saying, "Steal and DIE."
And I've been a writing BEAST on Some People Need Saving. The original first 10 pages have turned into 26 pages (actually 35 depending on the font - I like writing with Arial in size 9 because I can see more of what I'm writing) and I'm not even done with covering what happened in the first 10. I'm excited and nervous as hell because I've changed the story quite a bit. In fact, I'm thinking of asking someone to take a look at it as I write it to make sure it's staying consistent because as I continue to write, I continue to see the extreme importance of an outline and I'm writing blindly and it's freaking me out because I want consistency! I don't know when I became such a writing Nazi but I became one quick! Alas, thanks to everyone who's been emailing and tagging about fanfiction, you all make me giddified with joy.
Back to work I go. After I write a little bit. And cruise the internet with my sexy cruising abilities. :)
