d.valued's Journal: Man.. it's been a f***ing year?

Unbe-fucking-lievable.

I didn't even realise I was this lazy until I looked at the Fatwa post.

There she is: 19 Nov 04, and it's 18 Nov 05 now.

364 days.

Wow.

What's changed in that year?

My age, and that's it.

I've been told to get my life in gear, and I have. It's in Neutral. I'm not going anywhere. My resumes and applications are received into virtual black holes, since I don't even get the courtesy of a "f*** you" phone call. I'm still waiting for my f***ing school to deign a diploma uponst me.

I've converted my core system to Gentoo. Not a painless process, and there are still some hiccups (in particular with DVD burning), but it's OK for now. I've still got my domains, and God willing I'll actually do something with them besides give GoDaddy my eight bucks per annum.

I'm trying my hand at NaNoWriMo, and what's driving me batty is stringing the cogent scenes in my head into a nice, deep story. Not deep as in spiritual or meaningful, deep as in.. to analogize, I want my plot threads woven as well as a hand-knotted Persian rug.

It's kicking my ass, as is my patent insomnia and my anticipation of certain things, like HOPE 2006 and.. well, leave the rest for later.
