update!

Haven't posted all week, oops. Lots of goings on, I suppose, but nothing major really. It's also late and I am le tired so I'll try to summarize with bullet points!

· Still reading Game of Thrones and really digging it, only ~150 pages left, may go and try to read another few chapters before sleeping now in a few.

· Finished up with Elvis Costello: Spectacle season 1 over the weekend, which was pretty awesome. It's also got me back into jazz and am consequently watching Diana Krall: Live in Rio which I caught coming on tonight, so awesome. With an amazing band too; Anthony Wilson on guitar, John Clayton on bass, and Jeff Hamilton on drums. Such talented musicians, omg.

· Still mucking about in MMOs; picked up Guild Wars for cheap (it has no monthly fee) and played that a bit, and a good friend of mine got me a 21 day trial of EVE Online that I've been trying with him too. The latter is very different from what I'm used to but it's interesting, and I like getting to play a game with him again.

· Go Bruins omg. My team made the Stanley Cup Finals, which start on Wednesday. It's a completely alien feeling to me, they've never gotten this far since I've been seriously following hockey, and I'm very very excited. :D

· Work continues to be insane, ugh. I won't go into it here because omg it'll just get me worked up again, but suffice it to say people have been infuriatingly unreasonable lately, more so than usual. :(

· RP has been going well, I've been involved in some plots lately, though I still don't feel as if I'm doing as much as I want/should. I've just been so so busy though, so I don't know what to do here.

· Speaking of writing, found out there's a local short story competition I can enter, where you can enter up to twice (1,200 word max story) and I've been seriously thinking about it. I don't have anything in mind, really, but the deadline's not until July so I have some time. I'd love to try, so we'll see.

· Lastly, speaking of writing, due to some boneheadedness on my part I lost a bunch of journals at Insanejournal, most of which were old RP ones that I don't mind losing (one or two I would've liked to have saved for posterity's sake but mreh), but one was my writing journal. :/ Which, well, I didn't have all that much in there, really, but I know off the top of my head of a few little ficlets I'd stored there that I don't think I saved somewhere else. Not a huge loss, just more of a kicking-myself-for-being-lazy-and-letting-it-lapse thing. :/

Game of Thrones is great! All the books are wonderful, just one word of warning: Don't get attached. ;)

[canadiandiamond.livejournal.com]

Ack! But what if I'm already attached? :o

Then you'll get your heart broken and end up swearing, like I did.

Aww. I kinda want to ask what happened but I don't want to be spoiled either. XD

"the deadline's not until July so I have some time"

Be careful of that! That's what usually catches me on the writing contests I want to enter. I end up never getting a story done. (Or, sometimes, even started.)

This is true, it's June starting tomorrow already even, ugh. Time flies! Hoping to maybe brainstorm a little over the weekend if I can, if not start something. :)

Hey if you need a hand with Guild Wars, add Alona Arrowroot. That's my main. She can go to any of the areas. Authmar and Guilford are also pretty active in that game too. It's a lot of fun, but I really love the scenery. Which part did you pick up? Guild Wars, Factions Nightfall, or Eye of the North?
