Thank you on both counts, m'dear. You won't believe how relieved I was to finally be out of a public high school. (I had nightmares for months afterwards that I was still pre-graduation, if that gives you an idea. Sad)

It helps if you're a blissful slave to your own Muse. Smile

EDIT: Er, wait, don't you mean "writer's block"? Confused

No, writers lock. It's like you've locked up all your talent, right? Right?
Or, you know, it's a typo...

Wink I think it's a typo, dearie. Although I must admit, it is original! Smile :hugs:


I have a tendency to give out hugs at random times, as a general expression of my benevolent nature. Very Happy

Congrats CT! It's nice to get what you want!

I'm not sure this fits this thread, for I have not decided whether it's a good thing...
In 2 days, Sunday 06:00 am (Israel time) my plane will take off for Munich- & from there to Venice. It's finally here: my semester in Venice. Right now I'm so tired (partied out late, so I can say goodbye to all) & I have so much to do, it's all a big job to deal with. But soon I will be THERE, & I'll have some normal study time (all my senior professors were on strike up until a couple of weeks ago). Well, not normal. I don't have a single theatre lesson there. Not even one! How can I hold on 3 1/2 months without a single theatre talk?!?! It's what I do!!!
But I think it'll be great. right? I'm nervous... 0_0

It -is- awesome. This is one from England as well. The story goes that the original for the new series was smaller than this toy. And the prop kept breaking over and over. They got ahold of the toy, and were impressed by the sturdy designed so much that they asked the toymaker for the mold.. and now the sonic screwdriver prop in the show is bigger. The same size as the toy.

Me, I like pointing at stuff and 'fixing' them. It's even worked a few times. >>

Rumor has it, there's a picture of me dressed as the Doctor somewhere on this forum. <<

Good thing: I will have money next month! Woohoo!
I'm working as a substitute teacher, and all of a sudden people are calling from schools all over the town (meaning not that I'm super-awesome, but that they're quite desperate...)

Bad thing: Kids can be so bloody annoying! Why would a 15 year old think it's MY problem if she doesn't pass the test because she didn't study when there was time?

Then again, good thing: Some kids are so much fun!

Yeah! Yay for that!
Also, yay for my sister who is probably the best sister in the world. Today, she brought me clean laundry and a bun the size of both my hands. Mr. Green
