woot

I got 650$ to go to Vegas. Yeah, it's only a third of what I needed but it's something. They only have 17K for the entire faculty and had 35K in requests. I am not complaining. that's the price of the con and air fare (well almost). Hell I'm already drowning in debt so what's a little more? Hey I haven't paid more than 75 in groceries in weeks (which for me having to cope with my dietary issues is doing good) so little steps.

Want to see what would make me run around screaming like a little girl while wetting myself? Click here (and thanks ELD for it)

and here's a touching story or at least interesting.


Remember me mentioning tense and pov a week or so ago in my Writerly Ways? Well I just read the first two chapters of a YA book that was promising a Sword in Her Hand which is historical fiction about some Flemish princess. I know nothing about that time period (She's a real person) but it starts in future perfect then into present tense even for her own birth. It was like a cheese grater on skin. Taking it back to the library. ah well.

I saw that story about the dog, too. Glad he saved the day.

I'm glad you got some money for your trip.

I knew I had to share the story on the spiders. I just knew it.

thanks

and now I shall have nightmares (and wonder what world has this sort of spider and how can I use it)

and who would be the biggest baby about this.

actually my second summer in Madison wasn't too unlike this. They were yo yoing off the eaves and the balconies. the landlord kept sending memos saying they couldn't do anything about it. I couldn't use my balcony that year

I remember you telling me that. I think you sent me pictures at one point.

Yeah, that and TARANTULA in my bathroom.

Loved the dog story, the spider one was creepy! *is afraid of spiders* T.T

That's great that you got some money for Vegas.

yes, especially since this kind of thing is mandatory for my job
