    As an example, I've primarily written comedy and horror before, but in Uni I've been writing character dramas, experiments in personality and exploring very basic, human relationships. I would have never dreamed of writing something like this before, and it was a challenge for someone as devoid of the basics of normality as me but I've come out with work greater than ever.

    BLAH BLAH BLAH PREACHY JIBAR.

    I should really find my coursework and post it here sometime, considering it earned a well deserved First.
    You're right. I just worry a lot about not showing what I can do, and I tend to struggle to find motivation to really put work into things I've not been interested in. And I tend to get pretty miserable if I'm just sitting there staring at a piece of paper with no good ideas (which has happened plenty of times before). Although I suppose I'd be more motivated if I had a deadline, and people who actually know what they're doing criticising my stuff... I think.

    I'd be interested in seeing your coursework, it'd be useful to see what a First-earning bit of creative writing-ish stuff looks like.

    I guess anagram sounds similar to acronym, and they have kind of similar meanings... it would be easy to mix them up. Words are easy things to get mixed up with.

    I was told last night that I've ben selected as an official for the National Finals weekend in two weeks time.
    It won't be for one of the 'big' games, but I'm happy all the same, since this is only my second year officiating, and I've been thought of as good enough to warrant a spot as a finals weekend official.

    It'll be for junior kitted 5-on-5 and for adult 5-on-5 flag, and will include a total of 6 games over two days.

    I'm EXCITED!

    Sounds like a good time. In a giant orange excited sort of way.

    On another note has anybody picked up Brent Weeks' new book The Black Prism? I assure you it is just as good as his other books, The Night Angel Trilogy. And if you haven't read any if his books I pity you and demand that you go out and buy all four

    But seriously go buy them. Now.

    You have to understand that, if someone asks me to drum for them, I'm perfectly willing to drag half of my kit on the train across London to play. The experience is always worth the inconvenience. Well, it is for me, at least.

    Besides, I could learn that song in about half an hour, no problems. [/showingoff]

    So...I live in the Seattle area, and it's always been my secret suspicion that Grunge and Nirvana are more important here than anywhere else, because it has its roots here. I am personally not a huge fan of Nirvana, but I know a lot of people that are. My girlfriend and her friends are at Bumbershoot, and Hole is playing, and I'm being told about how bad Courtney Love is, and how much they hate her and such, and I don't fully understand. As far as I can tell, Nirvana as a band is a Big Deal. But I don't see every store on the corner selling Che Guevara-style Kurt Cobain shirts, and I don't hear about Nirvana songs being in Gossip Girl and such. As far as I know, that is because of the other two Nirvana members and Courtney Love.

    Now, being a music enthusiast, I know Courtney Love is kind of crazypants, but that's true of a lot of musicians. If I remember my release dates correctly, the first Hole album came out before Nevermind, and was actually fairly successful, before Nirvana and Cobain were famous, so the Love-Cobain relationship wasn't important to either album's success. Shockingly, I've discovered that this dislike is not unique to people I know, but is in fact quite prevelant. Discounting people who think Courtney Love killed Cobain (because they are crazypants themselves), is there really a reason to dislike Courtney Love on the basis of liking Kurt Cobain and Nirvana?

    I pretty much spent the last two days reading it, it's so good. Maybe not the best way to spend all of my time, but when I get into a good book I can hardly bring myself to put it down.

    I shouldn't have expected that I would spend my time any other way when I walked into Chapters armed with $100 in gift certificates. Oh well, time well wasted. I have another day until university starts anyway, so I'd better get all the reading in that I can.

    Use Sophos. It doesn't scan every file every time, it hashs the file and if the hash hasn't changed, it doesn't scan it again. Much less slowdown.

    Logic has triumphed, because I have successfully convinced her that there is no reason to dislike Courney Love on Nirvana-based reasoning!

    I don't actually like Hole much anyway, and I'm fairly meh on Courtney Love, but that's beside the point!

    How peculiar. That's probably a first, my good sir. Well, to me anyway. Rationality and music so rarely seem to go together even though ultimately it demands thought and feeling.

    Too many people seem to think of music as some kind of headless, flailing beast or something. Quite confusing.

    I've taken the day off today from my studies. Maybe I shouldn't have, but I'll probably be fine. I'll have plenty of time anyway to get the job done. Huzzah for laziness!

    And I'll make up for it tomorrow, honest!

    Thanks!

    I feel a little bit guilty about it, but I did some work before and I can afford it.

    Not as good as my Norman aristocratic family - there's regicide in my one. I'm a descendant of a chap called Walter Tirel III, who killed King William II "accidentally".

    Weeeell, in fairness to your ancestor, I've read histories which have pointed out that those kinds of hunting accidents did actually happen a lot and no one at the time seemed to think it was suspicious, so maybe he was honest. Plus, by all accounts William Rufus was a **** king so maybe it was for the best.

    I'm impressed by all you folks with Norman descent, or rather by the fact you know this. I can trace my family back all of about three generations and it's just full of working class criminals.

    I want more coffee. But the coffee is upstairs. And I am downstairs away from all the boys.

    How badly do I want more coffee?

    EDIT: I suppose it's moot now, since one of them followed me downtsairs and keeps asking questions. *sigh* May as well go get more coffee...

    EDIT again: Andre read my mind and brought me more coffee!!!

    Me, I just wonder whether Norman-descended types have any feelings at all about being called WASPs. I know being predominately Scottish in genetic provenance I always feel it's a bit odd that this term has come to seemingly mean "white people" in the U.S. as I've known almost no one of English descent.

    About as far back as I can trace my lineage is to some guy who migrated to the U.S. from Scotland just in time to take up arms in the Revolution. That, and I know that my father's father's father's family got disowned after the Civil War for reasons that they were never quite able to ascertain.

    Most of my ancestry that I know about was over here from pretty much the beginning of the U.S. if not colonization, so occasionally I'm jealous of those who are recently enough immigrated to have some knowledge of what the people who came overseas were like.
