Oh My Tezza
No, there's no mistyping therre, I just have to be a god, pure and simple. How you ask? For the last couple of weeks I've had a huge observation assignment. I had to chose two different sites and discribe why there are differences between them.
Because I could, I chose two mountains close to me. The first Kyneema Mountain, a place where I hang out if I want to do some thinking. The second was Storey Mountain, actually private land belonging to the local winery. I needed at least 24 hours at each site for me to make comparisons, and like an idiot I chose four sites. Not only that another external chick agreed to share her data with me and I with her so we could make comparisons and get better marks. Between work and babysitting and other assignments I actually managed to accomplish this, and send chicky my observations.
In the last two weeks I'd given myself to research and write the assignment, as well as study for two exams and a Reproduction assignment on the effects of fragmentation on the genes of isolated koala communities, I wait and I wait for Chick to send her results. My hypothosis depends on her park observations. Two days before it's due I curse and realise it's not going to come.
Not only that, the Blockbuster Video store where I work has had a plague of idiots, I mean everyone's been taking ther stupid pills before they come in to rent a video. I had a full grown man, thrice my size and in front of his eight year old son chuck a hissy fit over a 90 cent refund. What a git! He looked ready to reach across the counter and my god (oops, my Tezza) was I spoiling for a fight that day. Another guy threw his DVD's at me. People come up to the counter asking for movies still at the cinema, they ask if they can rent display cases. One man asked if he could rent a PC. I'm also annoyed at the foul language they use. One kid called me a poxy lesbian bitch cos I wouldn't rent him an M15+ movie.... Ah the innocence of youth!
Any how, with no Park- observations what am I to do? Two days before its due and it looks like I'm screwed. Do I give up? No! Do I ask for an extension? No? Do I curse? Yes! Do drink what should have been a lethal amount of coffee? Yes! I rewrite the whole assignment, re-research the new topic, reorganise my data around a different hypothosis and get the thing done. I'm sleep deprived, but good.
I spent this morning redoing the layout for the Pokemon Fanfiction Index and am considering going looking for new sites to invite to it and sign it up to some webrings or something.
My fanfictions? Non existent of course but the plot bunnies. Pilot Light is dragging, I just can't get the tone right for what should be a exciting, terrifying, gutlurching scene but can't.
I'm also avoiding Serebii's Forums cos if I do I'll have Safira-Thorn on my arse for not reviewing. I don't see why as she doesn't appear to listen to anything and it looks like I'm not the only one annoyed by what she does. I stumbled onto one of the Mod's Livejournals, Psychic I believe who's done some freak'n amazing reviews for her but she just goes "Thanks, I'll do it right away!" While continuing to run full pelt at the same wall over and over again. I also suspect she's got other people writing for her, as she has asked me to do. Her first chapter is practically mine. Her improvement is eerily rapid.
Another thread there has had me interested, one about Pokemorphs. I love Pokemorphs and had started writing three or four back when I had time, including one I was going to post under a seperate alias just for the hell of it. My goal was originally to do an alternate to the kid kidnapped by Rocket and has Articuno genes inserted into her, which ironically was the plot of my first Morph fic. Because of that I tried writing in a different style from my usual so people wouldn't catch on I was Tezza/Topaz. I'll post it on my journal next time I'm on.
My Cosmic Senshi fic is stopping and starting. I love writing it but like everything else I'm being a perfectionist about it. It's a wonder I'll ever post anything ever again at this rate!
