Well, shit.
Instead of readying for my course exam like crazy, I once again poked at my keyboard in an attempt to get another story out.
Maybe you do, but perhaps you don't know, that me updating became somewhat of a rarity these times, and I have two good reasons. First one is, I have the exam and *derp* sessions. Whodda thunk that being a masseuse can be so very exhausting? Not me, that's for certain. Second one, and more important, is that MHB had to say to her router goodbye, courtesy of her parents' carelessness... I know that the older generation isn't particularly tech savvy, but to damage a router.../stares/. Well, suffice to say, it ain't pretty, no matter from what angle you are looking at the deed. Myself, I more or less destroyed one too, but that was courtesy of unprotected wires on the router than anything else, and my carelessness with moving the laptop. I didn't have my own laptop then, and I had been working on some ancient lappy that still demanded router and all that, so the disaster was more or less unenviable. Still. Ouch, ouch and ouch.
Back to the story, this time it's another of the Scrapbook Jewels, this time it's Aim To Misbehave,
the courtesy of my nagging beta whining for her Christmas present and my brain-fart, courtesy of Mal's legendary phrase and his floral bonnet /snickers/. Anyway, did the thing - found it by chance on my driver and got around to editing it - and I am seriously thinking about getting an editor for this kind of shit, because I still get some mistakes sometimes in stories, just because I am not attentive enough on the wording and the likes.
Still got a reality check in the shape of my mom that wanted to know how goes the writing of my thesis. /Whistles innocently/. What thesis? But still, I am on an unofficial schedule to get the darned thing done with the deadline of of the end of February, and hopefully with a colleague to check over the little monster and me doing the practical work, I will manage to do it quite thoroughly /slumped shoulders/. Although I got to admit I don't know where's the head and where's the tail of the entire damned thing, because it's so humongous. Seems I will have some work to do to shape it into mean and lean piece of thesis that would steamroll the professors' opinions and questions into dust. /Sigh/.
On the laptop side, I finally got the outer shell for my drive - in my last post I wrote about me swapping the drive - the old one went out for SSD, however I still need the former, because having additional place for saving data and songs is never bad idea... if you have appropriate outer shell for it, of course. I briefly entertained the thought of outfitting my previous 1 TB disk with an outer shell, but discarded the idea because the outer shell for 2,5 disk is cheaper than 3,5 and besides, I still have enough place for anything and everything my crazy mind needs to save on the laptop drive, outer drive, USB key or CD-R - and I am thankful I have enough of the media to actually save the data on. Now if I could get the attic straightened up /mumbles/... There is where the majority of my paper-backed data is and I really gotta get it in order, because it's a nuisance that is cluttering the otherwise innocent place. So, one of my projects for summer is to clean up the place and get some money out of it. And space, don't forget the space /maniac grin/.
Right-oh. And I have another maniac plotdragon on my proverbial tail.... courtesy of the Eiffel 65 song, Another Race . /Twitches/. As if I don't have enough of''em. This time, it's FFVII fandom, and really, this is getting ridiculous. I already have a small mountain of 'em to burn through... and at this rate I really have to find some notebook to keep the track of all the ideas I have.
Now, where to find something with more than 200 blank A4 pages...? /ruffles through the assorted notebooks/
Wish me luck for the exam and see you (hopefully!) soon,
Eirenei
