Spent a good part of the day assembling my new desk, which we're going to use as an entertainment center. It looks fantastic! We also now have a couch, which makes the ottoman much more practical....And Pickutsu just jumped from ottoman onto desk. Oh lawd.

It's nice to actually have furniture now. Even though my dining table is covered in stuff atm ( Read more... )

MY NEW LAPTOP

I didn't return to California this year because I'm a poor ass, but instead I'm with my extended family - pickgoldies and her mother. And her mom got me a new laptop for Christmas, as well as a few other kickass things! And it is awesome, especially since I was talking to my dad today, and I mentioned how my laptop's webcam is broken and how slow ( Read more... )

30-day fanfiction meme, day 16: Summaries: Do you like them or hate them? How do you come up with them, if you use them?

I hate summaries. I'm horrid at writing them accurately; in fact, a great deal of my summaries don't fully summarize the story. That's partially because I post on FFN and it has a very limited summary box. One has about two ( Read more... )

30-day fanfiction meme, day 5: If you ever had a character trying to push their way into a fic, whether your "muse" or not, what did you do about it?

When that happens, I tend to try to go with the flow, but usually I find these characters get in the way. My writing either becomes, or I just think it becomes shittier and everything just goes down ( Read more... )

Well I've lived in Houston for about three months now, and held down a job for two and a half. I can definitely see the effects this has had on me. I'm more work-oriented than I ever used to be before - probably because I love my job - and I feel I'm more responsible. Whether or not that is true remains to be seen. I have more stressors now, which ( Read more... )

 As the date draws ever closer, I see some interesting changes in things, namely my perception. I used to never want to leave this town - now I can't wait to get out. I used to be able to stand my family, but we all know how I feel about that. And these people I used to call friends - not so much now, I guess. And it's okay.

I try my hardest to be a ( Read more... )

So yeah, obligatory post for the time period.

Have a moving date: June 1st. Now just to figure out how we're going to get there. It'll either be driving (which is preferable for me) or flying (which is cheaper). Still got things to figure out. BUT WE WILL.

I have skype now, so if anyone wants to add me there, my sn is simon.harron. Just so you know ( ( Read more... )

 I need to read the last like 3 or 4 Hellsing books, I just remembered. Damn good series, mmmhm.

So the weekend was interesting. Or rather, Sunday. It began with my mother flipping a bitch over me leaving for Houston and ended with everything just a little better, thanks to the power of communication and pretty much doing a three-on-one to my mother ( Read more... )

 Right, so earlier I was going to post a huge rant about my mom being a bit, but...she doesn't deserve the bother. SO INSTEAD, PLANTS ( Read more... )

 I start my first day at my new job: waving around a sign dressed as Lady Liberty. Not the most glamourous of jobs, but I need money.

Later on today, I'm going to a joint birthday party for myself and my friend whose birthday is the day after mine (which is tomorrow!) So that'll be fun~

I've been sucked into the vampirey sex world of Lynsay Sands ( Read more... )
