Fractured Thoughts

I'm writing again ^_^, which is good. Not either of my GW WIPs at the mo though, sorry. Maybe tomorrow, I'm working on a highlander fic and a charmed/SPN crossover, both of which I started ages ago and have only just got in the mood to write any more of. When I get to posting stage is anyone's guess though.

Ages ago I said I would post some of my photo's from Germany so here are a few of the better ones.

Got back from my little holiday in Germany. Am reunited with my one true love - the internet. I'm currently investigating what treats (posts) have been left in the last week.

I had a great time in Germany. I'm left feeling like an ignorant tourist though, all the people out there seem to speak English so well. I could only just about manage to thank them and add numbers to my pointing at menus. It was lovely to go out there with friends, the area we were staying in wasn't touristy (one of my friends lives out there) and it was really nice just to go out without all the extra fuss of a tourist hotspot. There is some lovely countryside out there, I left my camera cable in Leeds but at some point I may put up some photos.

Anyway I haven't had much sleep and am probably not overly coherent so I will stop babbling and go to bed I think, just wanted to say I'm back and just generally squee over my holiday.

Am very excited, going to Germany with some of my friends next week. I have that strange unsettling feeling that I have forgotten something crucial - ticket, passport, EIHC, insurance, money - no I can't think of anything. Oh damn will need my laundry to be dry before I can pack it (always seems to take so long, hopefully it'll be dry by Saturday morning).

Have just realised I have never been to Germany before, how did I not know that?

Should really try to get out a fic update before I go hmm. Perhaps giving myself a deadline will motivate me, nooo don't want to... 

Spent most of this week doing random cleaning tasks, the house has never been cleaner. Well except for when my Mum and stepdad came to visit and I didn't want to get disapproving looks. It is official being unemployed, is boring me (finally after 5 months, I was sort of enjoying it, in a mild and controlled panic way) I think this has more to do with the fact finding nice long fics I haven't already read is getting tougher than any improvement in my work ethic. Am trying to ride the new constructive wave to send out loads more applications, so nobody infect me with a new fandom to take up my time until I have a job.

I went hunting for the paper part of my driving licence this afternoon, I finally found it but I think I need to create a new filing system. At the moment any 'important documents' are shoved into a large box in a big pile. My thesis is then balanced on top to keep the lid closed, I'm thinking box files would be a good investment.

I'm going to get the fic snippets I owe done tonight, I AM, really, (if anyone else wants one just comment on the post I made). I also have several drabbles, I've been writing them whenever I can't think of anything to say on the fic I'm supposed to be working on ^_^.

Yay, having posted the 2nd chapter of learning to communicate, I am now a paragraph or maybe 3 from finishing the next chapter of zero X after months of no inspiration (or rather laziness), just have to get Quatre to cooperate. The whole new year guilt has been great for motivation.

I was supposed to go back home today, *looks at time* well I suppose it's yesterday now but we had just a little bit of snow. The british railways being what they are I decided I didn't fancy the potential delays and cancelled services and so stayed an extra day at my Mum's (unemployment has its benefits), packed and wrote and organised my tags on old fics whilst they were at work. I am such a swot. Anyway am pleased I feel like progress has been made. Have to go back tomorrow am working, in the place I actually no longer work (for free, I must be mad), this week trying to help get them sorted.

Ooo and it's 12th night, don't forget to take your decorations down. (Or is that an exclusively British deadline?)
 

Hiya hope everyone had a happy Yule. It's always been one of my favourite days, what can I say I'm weird. I'm back at my Mum's for the Christmas period so that's fun: cooked meals and all, and this year she actually has the internet (success). Am meeting up with old school friends tomorrow which should be great fun, haven't seen them in about 6 months, funny how a group of people I only see about twice a year are still my best friends (not that I don't also appreciate the friends I see every day).
I've actually been writing again (wonders will never cease) I may actually finish and post something before Christmas (though that does mean finishing it tomorrow as I'm off till boxing day on the 23rd).
Anyway happy holidays everyone.

Just spoke to my brother, I now have a new nephew. Exciting! Will have to go shopping for baby presents, going over to introduce myself  at the weekend. Anyway just thought I'd share.

Wow been a long time since I last posted. Both life and work have been manic and I haven't really had any time to write. Nice long Bank holiday weekend this weekend though, and nothing planned no excuse not to finish that chapter I've been working on.

Spent most of today watching Dr Who, I hadn't seen any of this series but I downloaded them all this week and now I'm almost up to date,just weeks  and  this  weeks  to  watch.  I was  surprised  I wouldn't have thought Catherine Tate would work well with Dr Who but actually they spark off each other quite well. I love saving up lots of episodes of things and watching them all back to back, you can really get into a series then. That's why I only watch Bleach every month or so, gives me enough episodes to sink my teeth into.

Anyway better go, time for bed but this can be said to be my promise to get some writing out this weekend.

Hey everyone,

Been in to town and managed to buy some shoes to go with my outfit for my Mum's wedding next month. Success. So am feeling vaguely organised for once, a feeling magnified by the fact I managed to find a house for next July, so I'm going to have somewhere to live next year, yay.

Anyway I'm just taking a tensy tiny break, I'm less than 500 words away from finishing my one_character entry for this month, just as well the dealine's tomorrow. Tell you what if I end up doing one next month I'm going to pick a character I'm a little more famliar with, Sally's been fun (in places) but it was hard work. Phew *wipes brow*.

Once that's finished I can go play with the plot bunny that's been growing in the back of my head since I saw the prompt for this weeks gw500 or write some more Zero X perhaps, both of these being much more fun to write than the journal publication for work I ought to drafting. Oh well who want to do work over the weekend anyway, how hard can it be to write 2000 words in a week (has flash back to the agony of viva writing) OK I promise to take a decent crack at the paper tomorrow.

So OK have finished procrastinating now, I'm going back to finishing my story - just one more prompt to do, wish me luck.

I'm back (in case the previous posts didn't tip you off). Yay I survived without the internet for almost a week, am glad to have it back. Hope everyone had a good Easter, been reading through all the posts, think I've commented on most of the fics at least.

Had a great time over at my Mum's went for long muddy walks and got snowed on (very strange weather for Easter) and tried not to eat too much chocolate. My usericon is my cat she was 'helping me' make the bed up (well I call her my cat but my Mum stole her when I went to university and has never given her back, so now I get visitation rights). Went to the Tate Britain Gallery was slightly alarmed when my Mum mentioned that she and her friend used to go there on their own when she was small, the idea of letting two ten year old girls go into and walk around central London on their own is unthinkable today or even when I was little. Shows how much the world has changed I suppose. Spent another day out shopping for something to wear to Mum's wedding, just need some shoes to go with it now (and to persuade my brother to give me a lift down). Managed to get over to see my Dad as well which was fun, his wife's daughter and her family were down too and we all had fun playing on their Wii and getting drunk.


Did a fair bit of writing as well so should have some more zero X ready to update this week and have done loads on both of my compositions for one_character, though I still think I'm only going to get one done. The Gundam Wing one I'm doing is on Sally Po of all people, which I'm finding interesting as I didn't feel like I knew her very well as a character so it's been a learning experience, I know some of you write longer work than that but 10,000 words seems like lots to me.
