Is pigeon shit good luck?
Yesterday, a pigeon pooed on my right shoulder. My first time. It was warm. My friends, after laughing heartily at my expense, told me it was supposed to be good luck.
I am still waiting for this luck to appear.
In other news: bleh. We all know about procrastinating from doing an activity... for example, getting down to it and writing your exchange piece. (An example randomly pulled out of the air, of course.) But I think my procrastination skillz have reached new heights: I seem to be procrastinating in the flipping story itself. Nothing is happening. Just word vomit. I am frustrated.
And cherry on cake - I still have not found a beta. (Not that there would be much to show them, granted, but still.) Everyone seems to be busy. But. I think I might post a more public request over at one of the sshg comms... This is a good idea, yes folks? I just want everyone to know that if I don't manage to find a beta, or my exchange recipient offers to beta for me, and I have no choice but to reject and then they get supicious and offended, setting off a whole chain of events, where I have to submit my dreadful piece of writing without any monitoring, and it actually manages to make it to people's screens and they actually have to read it in that state and the whole exchange just explodes... then it is all your fault. :P (That was meant to be all read in one breath.)
