Okay, okay, okay, I know what you're all going to say, 'why does she even bother with this?' Well simple... coz I wanna, all right?
I know it's been MONTHS since I last wrote in this, but this year has been tougher than expected and I have almost literally been running my self into the GROUND. Not only has university been hard and my inspiration for MS fanfics has just sky rocketed and I've almost crossed that 140 fic barrier (yeah you heard me right, nearly 140 fics! My God, someone... call a therapist :S ) but I've had family situations to deal with and a dirty housemate.
Family things are always a problem, aren't they? Someone tell me I'm not the only person who goes through this. My sister is 16 and had a boyfriend, they were practically inseparable and she moved into his house (as she was working for his mum at her beauty shop too). Parent's didn't like this situation either as I guess you can imagine. They fought with her and it caused them stress, and then they'd ring me and tell me about it and I'd be stressing about it from here which is hard. So that was one load ON my mind.
And with the dirty housemate, she's a nice girl and everything, but honestly, I don't think she knows what soap is used for. It's really that crazy! At first I thought it was just because she's never lived out of home before. She's 18 and a bit naive. But she eats burnt toast and baked beans all the time, leaves the kitchen dirty with food and coffee stains (which unbeknownst to the rest of us sticks to your socks :S ) and she is just a grot. I've had to share a bathroom with her too but I'll save you the details. We've complained to the university about this and they got our hopes up, but as usual, did nothing.
University has been okay, work hard. I still have a few more things to do by Wednesday when I'm going home to Hoppers, and then going to Sydney next weekend for a wedding and a 21st birthday party. That's gonna be one helluva busy weekend I'll tell you that. So much to organize before then too, even better *rolls eyes*
On the lighter side of things everything with friends and such is going well. Almost had to move out of here due to a raise in the rent (by $31 a weeks, can you believe that?). But my parent's gave in saying they'd rather me have a place than look all summer for one (good point). Just hope I have 3 NEW housemates who are housebroken :P
Yeah anyway getting off the track, sorta looking forward to going home and catching up with friends. Feels like forever since I've seen them all! Some of them I try and keep in contact with but it doesn't always turn out that way, you know? And am also happy to say there is potential with a little romance for me over the summer. There was last holidays but sticking with my 'luck record', I got sick yet again. This time we've organized to meet up ahead of time and things should work out well.
Okay, not much else to say. Fingers crossed I update this thing more often, just hard to do sometimes having to get thoughts in order and spare time and all.
Oh just remembered another thing, am really proud about one specific thing this year; I wrote my first ever screenplay! It's a movie and 101 pages long, I wrote 3 drafts of it and my teacher loved it. Well she loved the second draft which was 79 pages long, but when I told her how long the third one was she was impressed and said I should try and get it made into an actual Australian movie. Somehow I don't think that will happen, but it's nice to have the encouragement, you know?
Hope everyone is well :) xx
