Measure These Things By Your Breaks
Okay! I'm going to update because I haven't in a while, even though I feel like crap.
A couple things should get mentioned:
1. Volunteering has gone better and better each time. Cleaning For Cats was fun enough, and I got to actually meet people who were happy to meet me and talk to me. Then, the Carnival Volunteering was fun. Brian and I worked the Cake Walk. I feel like I've updated about this already? Hmm...either way. I'm still hoping that I won't be too sick to go to Friday's event.
2. Robin McKinley, author of "Sunshine" and "Spindle's End" (among others) dedicated an entire blog post of hers to answering the question that I sent in about writing. It was awesome. She totally read between the lines that I was asking from the perspective of, 'how do you do this.......since I'm doing this.' It definitely makes me feel like I should keep trying to write. She's right about things you know--if you're going to write, it's because you HAVE to write. There is a reason why I always have at least one story going on in my head, and several on the page. I have to write, one way or another. So, I should keep going with this, even if I never get successful with it.
3. I'm sick, and it sucks. I was really hoping to start doing things this week...
4. Brian and I are having a good time watching things like Dead Like Me and Dragonball Z (you wouldn't think the two would mix...but, well...=D). I'm so disappointed in all the TV shows I followed this past season. Legend of the Seeker probably won't be renewed for a third season. Bones was awful. Castle was pathetic. And I'm not sure how I feel about V...
5. We are in the midst of an Ant War. I am curently battling them with all I have. I have taken to leaving out the dead bodies of my conquered foes as a WARNING (like, sitting their severed heads out on a spike around the perimeter of the fortress). They're not even AFTER anything specific, since we don't leave dishes in the room, or food outside of the kitchen. But, here they are, on MY bookcase. On MY wall. Little fuckers don't even KNOW what they've gotten into. Yes. I am a mighty foe, and one who will CRUSH ALL THAT SEEK TO TAKE OVER MY TERRITORY. It's MINE. And none of their guerilla warfare tactics can change that.
Other than that, I'm doing my best. I hope that soon I'll be able to do something that will let me do something that'll give me money. I like having money in my bank account instead of Not Money. =(
