Okay, so this is what has happened since the last time I've been here:
1) The Apartment Situation
Okay, so we found out that the owner/manager of that apartment was a shyster. So, we continued out search. We found a better deal. It's a bit smaller, but the perfect size for us. But, we haven't heard yes or no on whether we have it or not. It's been about two weeks since we applied. So, Preston's going up to the office Monday and no leaving without an answer.
2) My Fanfiction List
Okay, since I'm on my own computer, here's my list of fanfics that I plan to complete in order:
--Untested (only four more updates to go!)
--Baby Makes Three
--How to be a Dhampire
--All Fall Down
--Tip of the Theological
--Of Old Gods and Archaeologists
--Pardoning the Prince
--Youth and Innocence
I'm still pushing along, but since I'm at home...yeah, my writing tends to slow down...(well, right now I'm at Preston's...). Well, I found what I have of my re-write of Dark Mistress and the Lady of Light...I intend to continue to work on that. I also feel a desire to begin my notes for NaNoWriMo (be proud, Slink.). And I'm still working on the original fics I mentioned last post. So, working on it...still not publishable....
3) Work
I've completed one month with Upward Bound...and we didn't ever have to call Mrs. Freeman down after dark-thirty! Go us! All I've got left is the trip! Six Flags and the Georgia Aquarium! I'm so excited!! I didn't get to work with the LRC this month...no big loss. Since I'm not living over there yet, that just would have been too difficult. I'm not taking a class this summer, so they couldn't hire me on federal, and they ran out of the University Fund. Like I say, no big loss.
4) The Death of Michael Jackson
Okay, so this affected me more that even I thought it did. I tried to hide it when I first heard. Finally, while staying at Savvy's, Slink asked me how bad it affected me, on a scale from 1 to 10. I said 5...which, as it turns out, wasn't entirely true. It was really like an 8. I'd been fighting tears for days, and would tear up if I thought about it too hard...but I'd always been able to control it. Then, I'm reading an article to Mom--she couldn't read the small print--about the memorial...and I bust out balling. I mean, I was sobbing. I put the newspaper down and said, through tears, "I'm sorry. I just can't read anymore." I've been listening to nonstop Jackson music--mostly Smooth Criminal, it was my favorite. We have two newspapers and two magazines about it...So, Michael...I hope you're at peace now.
Well, that's all about that's happened. The fireworks at the Fourth were fantastic! We had over 2000 dollars worth! I loved it! Well, until the next time I have internet access...
See you!
