I feel something celebratory is in order.  
CONS:
- Broke my Java again, and the fix is probably to rip out FOP and start again. Sigh.
- Dad is trying to borrow money from me to finish his house. Any money I lend to my father, I would not expect see again, ever, from past experience on the matter. But the guilt, kids. The guilt will try to get me every time. Despite one notable PRO, I am far from debt-free, so this is never ever going to happen. But the fact that I am not helping when I have been asked for help kind of goes stabbystabbystabstab.
- Was just made violently angry by people being, well, people.

PROS:
- There is currently one task awaiting my attention for this project. ONE. Everything else is someone else's problem for the week. My happiness and relief know no bounds.
- Half my bonus payment for getting Tom hired came in tonight. Because of this, my savings have just passed the ten grand mark. All of this is going to my HECS debt, mind. But this means I am well on track to affording other, more important things. Like houses, and cats to put in them. As I planned. My lack of social life is paying off! :D
- I am still really happy with the last thing I wrote. It was fic, and it was het, and I am happy with it, for all that I never write het any more. This is a minor miracle.
- I had a really awesome lunch with Neek and Luke today, which I was expecting to be a little awful, actually. I'd clearly forgotten how much I love talking to them both.
- I have a long weekend ahead of me, on which I need do nothing more complex than:
       a) figure out how to get to Josh's kirtan concert thing tomorrow afternoon
       b) have dinner with my immediate family on Sunday night
       c) spend Monday lazing and drawing and writing on the internets with [info - personal] ignite and presumably [info - personal] kuchibue
       d) play Pokémon Snap, which I totally downloaded from the Wii Store last night DON'T JUDGE

So all in all, a really good day today. A good end to the week. But a few of the cons are sitting heavily in my head at the moment, so I feel pretty even.

and how can I stand here with you  
So my day was pretty okay, but apparently the rest of my family the world had a Monday. The worst of my problems was a brain that simply refused to stay on, but that's fairly usual. A new new guy started today, and I didn't get to talk to him much, but he's a friend of Jared's, so he'll be all right. ^^ Apparently ex-military! We are certainly getting in all sorts.

I think I'm spending tonight trying ONE LAST THING with the t-shirt commission in a frantic effort to make the damn thing work, and then I'm going to play Pokémon. Speaking of which: just about to enter Rock Tunnel on the way to Lavender Town. Further retardery. )




[EDIT]

"...and I got a D+ on my Modern History assignment because my teacher was preggers when she marked it and she was probably in a bad mood or some shit."

I cannot accurately verbalise my fury, so I will settle for sarcastic disbelief: Of course, darling. I'm sure it has nothing to do with your assignment content at all.

Hand me my fucking arsenic.

...oops?  
So... I... may have started playing Pokémon Yellow again.

I want to say I am ashamed of myself but actually the past thirty minutes of my life made me almost ridiculously happy.

Also: my Weepinbell brings all the ASSKICKING TO THE MOTHERFUCKING YARD.

weekend weekend week-end!  
Give me the title of a story I've never written, and feedback telling me what you liked best about it, and I will tell you any of: the first sentence, the last sentence, the thing that made me want to write it, the biggest problem I had while writing it, why it almost never got posted, the scene that hit the cutting room floor but that I wish I'd been able to salvage, or something else that I want readers to know.

Because gods know I've not been writing anything of actual use lately.

To Do:
- clean shower
- eat breakfast
- wash sheets
- dry sheets
- go to the doctor
Not tonsilitis! Sinusitis. Yay? >_>
- tidy room
- rearrange bookshelves
- vacuum
- sketch for commission
- complete commission
- read (possibly Havemercy, possibly PSoH)
<-- Bugger that, going straight to WRITING, BITCHES
- write (either Debt or Many Hands Make)
- do not start playing Pokémon. I mean it. Don't listen to the other kids, it will only bring you pain and Venomoth


[EDIT] I... may have started watching Hot Fuzz instead. I have no regrets.

Okay, yeah, I'm totally charging my GBC in preparation. (Because you can't play Yellow on a DS or an XP, man, it's wrong. Also the cartridge sticks out too far and that hurts me.)
