.314 x impatience is the devil
Okay so. First of all I got a Mr Clean Magic Eraser because the mac guys told me it's the best way to clean my computer, and oh my god it's beautiful now, almost like new. I'm so happy with my beautiful clean mac.
I'm also excited for the iPhone update. I was talking to a girl in my class this morning who just got an iPhone on Saturday; the guy at the AT&T store screwed her over by saying "There won't be a new phone, just the update, so you might as well buy one now." Now she's mad because she found out there will be a new phone. I totally see where she's coming from. The asshole AT&T guy clearly just wanted a sale, probably needed to boost his numbers that day. But she said she's going to try to return it under the 30-day policy so she can get the new one next week. As for myself, I'm fine with the iPhone 2.0. I won't be missing much, mostly just the ability to record video.
Still not much response on RCR. No comments on my stuff, just occasional replies to my comments on others' stuff. It's annoying. I shouldn't let it discourage me though. At worst I should let it push me into making my own writing community and sticking to it.
I've been revamping the backstory for my Somnion world. I decided to add in more of a realistic history of conflict between humans and dragons. I made the dragons originate from another continent; humans lived on this continent as well, and while they had no magic of their own, they had learned to harness natural magic into amulets, staffs, and other tools. They recognized that dragons empowered these magical tools when they were near, and they enslaved the dragons for their own purposes and wars. Some dragons fled to the main continent of the story, as well as some of the people of Hallia (the dragon continent) who were tired of wars and fighting. These are the people who populated Sunrise Valley, and the ancestors of Kayden. Dragon 'slayers' are descended from Hallia, and in most cases are actually trying to re-enslave the dragons, though the dragons now would rather die in most cases than be enslaved. The dragon keepers were Northerners who befriended the dragons.
