NEWS!
I GOT MY SCHOLARSHIP!
huzzah! My books and my tuition are all paid for! Dance with me!
I also have had bronchitis for the past 3 weeks. I'm over it now, but i am gonna have to drop at least 2 classes (yoga: one credit. stats: teacher who taught nothing.) ...maybe the accounting too, but that depends on how much more work i've got ahead of me for the remaining two (economics and computer science).
Berlioz got a puncture wound on his fat widdle head from sneaking out like a punk and getting into fights with things larger (not too many of them) and meaner (but many of these) than he is. Now he's got an abcess. It burst last night. (YUM!) I spent the evening and a good part of this morning "milking" the cat's head. Like a bloody, ruptured mayonaise packet. mmmmm. mayonaise. He goes into the vet on monday to have the whole fool thing flushed out properly.
I owe kevin, blue and sc some doodles from that art meme. There's stuff to do all over the place for the studio. I've got my work cut out for me with homework. Boss is due back into town at any moment for the store. I've gotta get Visa's distemper booster AND schedule her for spaying. My room's a mess (need to do some laundry, vacuum, clean out those litter boxes, change my bedding, balance my check book, and file all my paper work from my desk). Kevin and I are planning a roadtrip to Vermont in the next two weeks or so. I have so many things to ebay for $$$, that it's not even funny.
And you know what i've gone and done?

Is it b/c i have free time on my hands?
No. Quite the opposite in fact. But quite frankly, if i'm going to wait for a november when i'm "Not Busy?" I may as well admit i'm never gonna participate. There's no fees involved. There's no stigma attached to not finishing. And from what i've heard from past participants, it takes a few years of effort to actually hit the 50,000 word goal.
So yes. This is me adding one more thing that i want to do to my plate. My eyes may be too big for my stomach, but dangit, if i wait on EVERYTHING i wanna do, i'll never do anything.
Here goes nothing!
But yes, i promise to use lj-cuts, and post my progress here. It will be rough. It will need mad work. You guys will probably see it before my editor does. And when she sees it, it'll get reworked and either put up for review to be reworked again, or hidden away carefully for the final posting. I swore i would not post the thing until it was done, but you know what? I'm finding I need a little more support. So, yes, in time, this FAN FICTION (oh god, yes. that's what it is.) will go up on ff.net and on places where i WANT people to read it as a finished work. Here? It's my babblings that may or may not end up in the fiction.
