A few things here and there.

1. Work experience is OK. Makes me realise that I might be an all right journalist, but I'll never care enough to be a really great one. Am there next week too, so at least I can shove two weeks' experience onto my CV.
1b. Am so ridiculously tired. I knew I wasn't cut out for a proper working day.

2. My mum and dad are off on hols to Yorkshire tomorrow. Ah, October up north. Fabulous. Means I get the telly and computer all to my little self this weekend. Sims 2 marathon, methinks.

3. Speaking of the Sims 2, the Sim I based on me is really pissing me off. She won't do what I tell her to do and when she does it takes ages and I want to whack her in the head. Yes, I can fill in the parallels myself, thank you.

4. I've been reminded of how fond I was of Darren Stark when he was in Neighbours. Not like a crush or anything, but I always thought he was an OK bloke, rather than Evil Darren. Certainly better than Psycho Michael Martin. Daz is now a Good Bloke and is apparently wooing Libby again. Wish I wasn't doing poxy work experience cos I miss both showings on telly. Pah.

5. Grand Prix snooker is on at the moment, and I keep forgetting what time it's on. Finally caught a bit of the Ronnie O'Sullivan - Graeme Dott highlights just not. Ronnie, aside from doing some left-handed stuff to show off at the end, has some weird samurai style ponytail going on. Hopefully I'll catch some matches further in the tournament.

6. Channel Five's new reality show The Farm is one of the most surreal things I've seen in years. Vanilla Ice making a twat of himself every time he opens his mouth, Rebecca 'David Beckham's txt partner' Loos masturbating a pig for the semen, Vanilla Ice being a twat, Debbie McGee not with Paul Daniels, some bloke so low-rent celebrity that I don't even know who he is, and so on. And all on a farm. It's the weirdest show I've ever seen. Weirdest thing is how I actually think Stan Collymore isn't all that bad. At least he works hard, unlike Vanilla Ice, who wouldn't know work if it bit him in the arse.

Need Your Help, Time and Opinions. Preeeety please?

Just lost an entire post cos the time or something was out.

Basic gist: Please, please please please visit flynnanigans and cast your eye over the bit of the first chapter of my original story there.

I'm going in for a huge national competition which, if I win (as if) I get a fifty grand advance and the novel published. I need your constructive criticism, your opinions, your thoughts and questions. I value all of these things. Don't be scared of upsetting/offending/enraging me. I have a pretty thick skin and respect everyone on my friends list far too much for any of that caper.

Please, my dear friends, if you can spare the time, head on over to my shiny new writing journal and check it out.

Hugs to you all.
