moving on

liam arrives tomorrow.

this will be my last post for weeks and weeks.

i'm losing the nanowrimo - i'm about 5,000 words down.

i'll not have to work again for 6 weeks (and then some, depending on how fast we get work in wellington).

we went to guy fawks fireworks on monday - they were really amazing. there were some that toally filled the sky - your whole field of vision. excellent.

damien called on sunday - we hung out in the park for a while.

on saturday, jeremy (who works with askea) invited us to a barbecue. it was so much fun + so much meaty goodness. we're somewhat lacking in our weekly meat content. we talked, ate, drank, played halo3 and watched kung fu hustle - it was a lot of fun. we got home at 3am. :)

not a whole lot else.

bye everyone - i'll miss you lots. hopefully i won't spend too long without updating, but if our travels so far are anything to go bye it will be about once or twice a month. :sheepish:

nanowrimo time

i started the nanowrimo yesterday. i got 1,786 words written last night. go me! i'm not sure how well it will work out once we go camping. but i'll bring my a4 pad and pencil along anyway.

work is wierd - there's been no one in the call centre since wednesday - just me, helping out with occasional calls and the clean-up. it's a nice change from call, call, call though. i'm sorting stationary at the moment. well, technically - i'm on a break, but it's a break from sorting stationary.

yea - nanowrimo. my idea this year is to form a story from the dreams i have every night of the month. it takes all the strain out of thinking up a plot - i've got my imagination working for me, without all the brain work - excellent. and the adventure's shaping up well, too. escape from a lab in chapter one, run in with a ghost in chapter 2. brilliant!
or not so good - i had a terrible nightmare last night, where a boy was standing outside my window and then ghosted through it and jumped on top of me - i was so scared. and i couldn't convince myself it was a dream, so i lay in bed going "i seriously hope this is a dream. i'm pretty sure it is, but i'm still terrified"

so now i'm off to nanowrimo.org to update my word count.
