Round 9 finishing up
Despite taking an extra day to proofread, I think my story's still the first one in.
Today was a frustrating and depressing day on many levels. No one thing stands out, save for T-butt's flakiness. Having postponed on her math tutoring yesterday, she arranged to do it tonight... and flaked out again. So she can go drinking with her friends. Again. My first thought is to wonder if she's really 23 or some sort of teenager masquerading as someone older. I'm about yay close to giving up on her altogether. I don't have much of a social life, granted, but I DO have to set aside time, clean up, make sure I'm in clean clothes, etc. to go anywhere. Oh, and she's looking around elsewhere for a boyfriend, looking hard at a 20-year-old white boy who thinks he's a thug. Well, hell. If I knew she wanted a BOY instead of a man, I could've backed out a while back. ::sighs, shakes head::
Anyway, enough of that rant. I'll throw her an anchor--er, life preserver (yeah, that's it) if/when she starts drowning later.
My Round 9 contribution is chapter 5 of my ogre story. In light of some story elements, I changed a couple of minor things about the story's backdrop. You guys reading these might or might not notice them. If I can get my head screwed on straight, I'll kick out chapter 6 yet tonight.
Got a phone call. Gotta go.
