grr
i agreed awhile ago to help write stories for a friend's webpage that she's doin. i figured it'd be a good chance for me to get back into writing as i've been rather unmotivated about it the past two years or so. after a few weeks of neither of us doing anything, i pointed out to her that we should give ourselves some deadlines.
so i had several REALLY good plot ideas and everything, and just no drive to write it. everything was very much forced and it showed so bad as i writing that it hurt. normally i just end up with all sorts of wonderful imagery when i write and this time i had nothing.
it's a shame too, 'cause i really do miss writing. there was something really cool about bein' able to create something from nothing.
i think i need to be in the right kinda mood to write such stories, so maybe for next week's deadline i'll try to ambush the goal whenever the mood first strikes me and hopefully i'll not end up having to force it.
in other news. one of my two roomates had been complaining (see: whining) about not having a girlfriend for long enough that we got fed up with it. he was too lazy to go out anywhere to meet chicks, and so we hooked him up with one of those internet dating things. his basic thing is he wanted to get laid by a hot girl, so after a few responses from unattractive girls who came off as totally desperate, he was about to give up. but then he met one he evidently struck it off pretty well with and he's hung out with her a few times now. so tonight she basically told him she wants to come over so they can sex it up. and so he tells her he has to work late so he can work on his car and play video games. i commend him for trying to keep to his plan of not sleeping with her for at least the first month, but at the same time he just lost all rights to ever bitch and moan again about not gettin' laid.
