Today was the first really hot day in awhile. It doesn't help that I biked up to campus and then Tony decided to come up and hang out with me, but the campus buses run stupid during the break between summer sessions and he had to wait almost forty minutes for it to show up. Then the connection on campus sucked and he wasn't feeling well, so we decided to walk home. It was so hot. Augh. I want to find somewhere to reside where the temperature is always in the seventies. that would be perfect.
Honestly, there hasn't been a lot going on. We're just waiting for when we can get our financial aid money advance so I can pay the electric and water bills and I can do clothes and such. So, other than that, it's been a lot of lazing about, sleeping, and cleaning here and there. I worked all of finals week, but the bookstore probably won't need me again until the fall semester starts up.
I've been working on roleplaying and writing stuff. I go through cycles where it's all art and no writing, and then the opposite happens. I can't complain too much because at least I'm always doing something creative. But I hate when I WANT to draw or I WANT to write and it just doesn't happen.
I'm planning on doing nanowrimo (one of the few things I will put in all lowercase because it just looks better) this year. It's going to be about Connor (Poe's cousin/best friend) and his girlfriend. I'm gradually gathering and posting stuff here, if anyone's interested.
I've been keeping a blog to reblog my smut into and talk about sex stuff. It's really not all that exciting, but there's pretty pictures. Mainly, I wanted somewhere to post nudes and some more porn-y bits without it going into my main blog and all.
I've been making a lot of DOHTML codes for thread templates and forum-based RP stuff, nothing all that special. The only shiny bits I've made are these:
Also, is anyone on my f-list familiar at all with Dark Angel? I want some opinions on a forum I'm making, but I'm not getting a lot of bites on the RP forums I frequent (Caution is mainly focused on real life games and RPG-D just...hasn't been giving me anything good). Even if you're not a roleplayer, that's fine, I just want to make sure my info posts are understandable and all that jazz.
I've been reading again, as well. Much like art/writing, I go through cycles with reading where I really want to and then it's just too much work. It's a pain because I LOVE reading, but I also think I need new glasses. Reading the tiny type in books is really a strain for me. So I've been downloading PDFs of some more popular books that I've been wanting to read (or have already started on) and being able to size the pages up is really a relief on my eyes.
I finished The Hunger Games last night and I really enjoyed it. I think it really stands apart from other books of its subject matter (Battle Royale, specifically). I'll be completely honest, I read the first part of the book and it made me all weepy and sad, so when I started into the second part I was like OH MY GOD, EVERYONE'S GOING TO DIE NOOO and then I had to return it to the library. It felt anticlimatic, but I think that's because it's intended to be a three-parter and not have each book stand alone. So I dove right in to Catching Fire and everything was okay.
I also had started reading Fight Club when I was at the bookstore, so I'm also making my way through that as well. I know, I know, it's not a very long book at all and I'm over halfway through it, but I'm also doing a dozen other things at the same time and I'm easily distracted. Plus, sometimes my reading interest will change suddenly and I'll switch to something else.
Tony also has books around the house I want to get around to reading. Particurarly, re-reading straydog and reading Lives of the Monster Dogs. He also has the Switchers Trilogy which is, according to Tony, like Animorphs. Also, speaking of Animorphs, I downloaded the entire series because I'd started reading it long, long ago and never completed the series.
Then, there's Harry Potter, which I will gradually work my way through.
I just noticed one of the rubber nubbies from the bottom of my laptop has disappear. Hrm.
