Again, not a writing assignment, but so long as I'm posting I consider the purpose of that idea fulfilled. The consideration of paying for this journal is quite serious. There's a particular layout I've had my eye on for some time, which is utterly gorgeous and artistically put together for me, available only to paid users. I find myself wishing ( Read more... )

I am aware that I owe replies for an interview meme, and I will get to that soon enough. We've just spent a good portion of the day out at craft stores of various types, and I have spent a possibly unwise amount of money on scrapbooking supplies. I'm told it's a logical pursuit for me, considering the love of paper and ink and whatnot, but I've ( Read more... )

It's been much too long since I posted anything. It isn't that I've been distracted with RP this time it's simply that I've been distracted away from the computer altogether. We did go through several weeks of the phone lines acting up very badly, which ultimately resulted in the phone people having to come round and muck about with the box up on ( Read more... )

It is days such as these that I am considerably less nostalgic for Africa.

I feel that I must write something. So much of my time these days is spent engaged in online role-play, and while it offers the opportunity to simply write, the medium by necessity suffers from a rampant lack of revision. I had a lovely short story I was working on, and both Bridgie and myself had gone through several edits, but all files were lost ( Read more... )

It has been one year, to the day, since I last had a drink.

So there's been rather a messy argument, involving myself, Rey, and Bridgielove. To be honest, I'm still not clear on my part in it, but I do wish people would stop looking gloomy every time I speak to them. I feel a bit off for that alone, as things seem to be otherwise on the mend ( Read more... )

I haven't been playing online as much lately, Rey's gotten involved in a wonderful project and I'm too fascinated not to tag along and watch. She's been designing shadow puppets for a show involving African myths about the baobab. Needless to say, the subject matter interests me. The designs are gorgeous, and it gives a good excuse to get out of ( Read more... )

Christmas was lovely, recieved several puzzles and books, as well as the word that I am difficult to shop for; I don't see why, because I adore puzzles and books, and nearly anything I am given. I suppose it's just that I don't have much attachment to material possessions. I have moved around and lived too long to cling to items, and if there are ( Read more... )

I realize it has been simply ages since I've posted here, and I do feel a bit guilty. Roleplay has such a wondrous ability to suck one in, particularly when you are already an escapist ( Read more... )
