So what is this about being awesome?

Alright, today is much better than yesterday. My schedule still is the crazy, but now that I've got it all laid out and stuff, it's way less daunting. Am taking some of my own advice and taking a wee bit of time out. Since today is gorgeous and simply biking to the airport for class is full of fail. I desired more outdoors, and more beverages, so I thought it about time to hit up the Asian mart, which was a nice little bike ride. Want to use some of my tea to make iced tea, as I finally found the ice machine, but alas, Drak broke my container of holding -1 (because it broke too damn easily). Maybe I can make a little and put it in a bottle.

I also really enjoy eating and studying at the same time. XD Have been trying new continuous eating combined with bringing more stuff to read during the sit-down meals I feel like going to (usually the ones I have time for, like today it was lunch).

This is pretty tempting. Dammit, though, why are all challenges like that based on ROUNDS? I hates deadlines and signup times. XD

Now to finish up my programming. Thankfully taking some time to sit in the dining hall to work on my pilot take-home exam thing worked out well. As it's totally done. Now I've just got a "flight computer" (the most badass circular slide rule of all time) extra credit sheet and attempts at memorizing all the questions in the Gleim book. We'll see how that goes. XD

1) Congrats at the winning-at-life. I hope it continues in the future. :)

2) Interesting concept ... the prompts didn't WOW me though. It's a lot of sex. Be cooler if they had a little bit more diversity in them (you can write pairing stories without it HAVING to disintegrate into rutting, you know. XD) I suppose it must be a little bit difficult to write good prompts which are vague enough though.

Precisely, I'm more thinking about the concept than anything. I like prompts that are quotes/songs for this very reason--other prompts are meh.

Well, if you're tempted I bet you could think of some kind of clever way to turn it into a type of meme in your lj. Judging by how well your breakup meme turned out, it could be pretty fun. (or you could make your own comm, the way astralavatar said).

The pragmatist in me suggests that this MIGHT want to wait until you're more-or-less done the tasks you need at school... but it could be a fun project later on. :)

(And I'll likely be bored when I'm at home for the next two weeks soooo... ;) ).

Ahahahahaha, oh god, I don't need a comm. A meme, at most. And later, definitely later.

That was my feeling too, I was just being polite. XD
