1) I got my handbag repaired today and made a crazy prepaired kit for it, like I used to have before it got broke. (About a year ago... Procrastinator and all.) Reading the troper tales link on the article linked to, is the only way I've gotten affirmation that I'm not alone in this habit of prepairing for the stuff most people don't. I became kind ( Read more... )

1) My having all kinds of things at hand has been a running joke throughout my teenhood and early twenties. One day, back in High School, when it was raining I brought an extra pair of socks with in my schoolbag in case I'd need to change them. While fixing something in the locker the pair of socks fell out in front of one of my friends.
Me: "Ehh, there's actually a perfectly logical reason for those socks."
She: "There probably is, but you don't need to say it."

It only got worse once I started commuting to school and needed to keep my back pack at hand, while at the same time forgoeing my usual handbag (actually it's more of a purse, but they're the same word here, and it's possible I'm mixing BE and AE here) which is the purse of necessity. My backpack has stuff in every compartment that are just supposed to be there at all times. Like a little plastic bag with my collection of paper napkins and paper handkerchiefs. And a couple of plastic spoons still in their plastic wrapping. A little tin box with band aids, and assorted medicinal supplies. Some compeeds for sore feet. (Learned their necessity the hard way.) And a little overnight purse with small bottles of shampoo and body cream, a small soap, and a small toothbrush and tube of toothpaste, that either me or my dad got while trawling with a ferry. I have a couple of such purses actually, good if you're in a real hurry to leave.

2) That's what I always think. :D

3) I watch those. And I'm generally good at the mythologically related questions, but fail miserably as soon as there's something about some celebritie I've never cared about.

4) Oh, it's all very straight forward. If you're the originator of a piece of writing, then in a matter of immaterial jurisdiction, you are the owner of the piece. I know, because a few years back there was a college professor that used the work of one of their students in a paper of theirs, the work in question being the type you have to make to craduate. Some expert on the matter put it thusly: "If you so write it down on a piece of candywrapper it's still your legal property."
I'll try to get on with it ASAP.

2?

I love how you try. I hope you can get a job, and I hope that whether it's a good job or not it won't hurt you in such a way that you give up. I've been hurt pretty badly from working as a substitute, but I haven't lost sight of who I am and what my goals are. I know that you have a poor self asteem, and that your family have made it worse even at the times that they've tried to make it better. But I know that you have dreams, and that maybe they can pull you through. I loved that copy you sent me of your original work, I don't know if I've sent you my detailed thoughts on it yet. What I like most about it is that it feels like that childhood novel that sweeps you away, to a world that isn't real but why should it have to be? I really hope you finish that novel some day. I just know my possible future kids are gonna love it.

1. Yep, that's prepared. I'm not sure what the name of the purses are called. I just carry one. :p

2. It works when the time comes when you need to be prepared.

3. I'm good at history questions, geography, some subjects I'm sure I'm forgetting and some useless trivial. My sister says I should be a history teacher (forget the part where I can't speak in front of people and sometimes ramble on without actually making sense sometimes).

4. What about electronic work? Stories that are written on a computer? It definitely sounds like a good way of keeping ideas yours.

I have no idea why there was a 2.

Thanks. I really hope I can get through this, too. And I'm glad you liked my story. I hadn't got anything from you on it so I'm glad you liked it. I hope I finish it, too. Need to get myself motivated on that again. >_< Just haven't felt like it lately.

Ummm do I have to do the meme? I'm really bad at this stuff. Everything either comes out really jumbled or generalized or both (you should see some theories I made recently. I wrote it all in word to remember it and it was rambling like crazy...like I am right now).

Oh, don't worry. I changed the wording of the meme so that there's no compelling to do it.

And now I'll see if I can't finish my detailed review of your story and send it back to you.

Good. Thanks. It would take me ages to come up with specifics for people (well, a list of specifics I'm satisfied with). Everyone's awesome, that's pretty much the best I can come with without specifics. XD
