I can relate to that every time I visit my dad...unfortunately he lives right in town, which means it's much, much more often than I'd like. -hug- Best of luck. Too bad we can't just hibernate 'til NaNo.  |

Dx -hugs Rae and Comma- I'm lucky in that all my relatives I don't like are a long way away. Mind you seeing as my maternal grandad ostracised his family, and my dad doesn't get on with his either, I don't have many relatives that I see often to begin with. But I'm sure that's better than knowing and disliking them... I'll stop talking.
I'm not sure that I'm going NaNo this year. It depends on whether people I'll know at uni do it.
And I'm going home tomorrow! Probably a bit too happy about this but meh. I'll be able to try on my new boots when I'm back. XP

@eli: An aunt on my dad's side and my dad are the only relatives I see regularly outside my brother's family, lol. Everyone else has forgotten we existed since we moved out of New York, it seems. ^^;
Sorry for being absent lately. My laptop charger died. We ordered a new one, and despite that it was supposed to be here day before yesterday...it's still not here. Just got my desktop booted up, internet fixed on it, and I'm using it until further notice. v_v
I miss my itty bitty laptop.

^ This is why I just should open my mouth/let my fingers near the keyboard half the time >.< My subconscious always keeps a spade handy so I can dig myself into holes whenever I want. I would make some sort of consoling remark but I'm now worried I'd just dig that little bit deeper.
At least you have another computer to use even if it's not quite as snazzy?
I hope I don't feel this bad throughout September, but seeing as it's because I'm worried about October I think I might... I'll have to make myself busy I suppose.

@ Eli: lol, dig yourself back out then? It doesn't bother me. -hug- Seems most families have some sort of drama/alienation in them somewhere along the line; and usually those that look like they don't are just much much better at hiding it.
Yeeeaaaah, is true. And this desktop is quite amazing for its age, I'll give it that. Almost seven years old and it still runs nearly as well as it did brand new. But it's not all pretty and red and sparkly like my laptop ;_;
Hope things improve for you D: You can always distract yourself here! And speaking of that, I'll try to reply to those RPs a bit later. >< I'm going to be cooking most of the day today so I can't just now...

^ Very true. XD
Has your charger arrived yet?
Yeah, I'm trying to distract myself but it's not working. (Mainly because the whole internet seems so quiet recently.) My problem of the day is having to talk myself out of going clubbing later. it's for a friend's birthday party and she's going up to uni on Sunday, and she 'really wants me to come' and all that shizzle but she doesn't; she just wants to look like she has a lot of friends while she pulls guys. I'm dreading talking to her about it at the pre-drinks round hers - she's so manipulative and I'm weak, but I'm not dreading it as much as I'm dreading the prospect that I fail and have to go clubbing. But I won't fail, because if worst comes to worst I just walk down the road to the Wheatsheaf while everyone else is getting into taxis and ask my dad to pick me up from there. He's all for me not going if I don't want to. I'll havr to be tactful though because it's her birthday and all, but then again my dreading it has ruined these past two days for me.
It's just all too much right now. I could have been having the holiday of a lifetime in Sri Lanka right now (which would also have socially acceptably solved the above issue) but no! 6 weeks ago brain decided to put me in floods of tears over it because it was 'all too much and all I want in the final weeks of holiday is to be home as mch as possible before I go up to Lancaster'. Well I am home for the last month now: it's half way through and I'm bored to tears.
-sighs- Sorry; I just feel trapped waiting for this huge event to happen and not really being able to do anything to prepare myself for it.
And I may or may not have another RP muse. It depends: if he follows me up to university then he'll be the 6th (or 7th if you include me) member of the crew. I'll hold back on more info until I know if he's followed me; considering how dead the site is I think it can wait a fortnight.

Wow, the only people I see here are the both of you. -looks around- Hmm... I wonder what happened to the others.

FRAPPE! -cuddleglomp- Welcome back XD
Yeah, I don't know where the others are. I think some are busy, some cant be bothered and some have forgotten about WTRP. If anyone else is reading this then log in and post something =P But yeah, I think people are mostly busy.
I might not be on much once I go up to uni but we'll have to see. I'll try to check here once a day/every other day or else I'll be a party to the deadness.
And I think it's definitely autumn now. As per usual the temperature's plummeted straight from shirtsleeves to necessitating coats. I hate this time of year in a way; some people are in hats and coats and some are still in skirts and shirts so it's like 'what do I wear when going out? will I feel cold without a coat or hot with? DX' Ah well, apart from that I love autumn XD

*snuggles laptop charger*
I shall fully understand if you can't be online much due to uni, Eli. ^^ School absolutely comes first. My favorite person to betaread for ended up ceasing writing almost entirely due to college and we only ever get to talk occasionally on facebook anymore.
Yeah...it's barely autumn here. Still summer. Probably going to be summer weather until November. We are getting some ever-so-slightly colder days intermixed, but still not nearly enough for jackets and coats. Usually with weather like yours, I'll wear something that would look all right with or without a coat to avoid arguing with myself...but I normally don't bother with coats until the weather is borderline-freezing temperatures. I love my cold tolerance. I love winter. Oh, Nordic heritage, the things you've done to me...
I get to help supervise a birthday party today, with only four other adults, where there will be probably forty-something kids ages three to ten. Eep.

wee! There's four of us now!
LOL, eli. I might not be as active as before, but i will never abandon this forum, unless it's officially closed or something. yep, everyone's busy nowadays. it's hard to write and get the inspiration to write when we have to do so many other things. I might have graduated already but work also takes a lot of my time, it's more a drag than school is, at least in school we get to meet our friends and talk to them a lot.
don't have problems with winter and autumn... hehe, i live in a tropical country. here it's sunny one day then rainy the next, the weather is very unpredictable. A trusty umbrella would be the best thing to carry around when going out.

I'm in one of the most awkward conversations I've ever had at the moment. At least it's via text so I can just blame my phone if I take forever to reply, but... ;_; helpme?
@ Frappe: I don't think I could live in a tropical country o.o I have enough trouble with the weather being hot half the year here. I'd rather live somewhere cold. Like maybe Antarctica. Or Pluto. Yeah...Pluto.
@ Rae: *ties Rae to thread to ensure she can't sneak away* >_> *hides remaining rope and whistles innocently*

Erm...*offers Rae food...and painkillers*  *sigh* I honestly don't even wanna think about it. Someone I barely knew in school got in contact with me via facebook recently and, erm, apparently he now thinks he's in love with me. I'm not exactly sure how to react and it's just incredibly odd overall. Why must people insist on ruining a perfectly good friendship with dating crap!? Random: My brother just did the "This Little Piggy" rhyme with one of his kids...except the third piggy was eating pork chops instead of roast beef. And I'm like "  WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU." |
