Yeah, it would have been there at least a few days ago, maybe longer.  The Benedict Cumberbatch one is up on Hot now, and the GameCube loading screen might still be on Trending. I spend most of my time on Trending too.

This is a continuation from this post I made over in the Bad Day thread. Long story short, my cat, Rugby, snuck out of our house 3 weeks ago and has been lost ever since.    Today, we found

Ah, nothing like young love. Walking together on starry nights. Chattering excitedly together about whatever the other's interested in. Seeing the smiles of someone you care about more and more each d

I let Bruce sleep in my bed last night. At first, he lay very still when I turned out the light, as if he were thinking, Maybe she hasn't seen me. If I just lay right here, she won't see me and I can

My pap came back normal!!!!  For the first time in about a decade!

No more extra poking and prodding, no more agonizing biopsies!  (Seriously, who's bright idea was it to declare that anesthesia wasn't required for cervical biopsies? I'd love to get my hands on the sadistic jerk.)  No more worrying about whether a thing is going to develop into cervical cancer!

I am so so so so happeeeeeee!

A guy who never had to think about it probably. 

Anyway, yay!!!!

Oh, I never broke with him. We've talked, and we've decided to just be a lot more careful with how we interact with each other.

This month, I thought I'd come in under my word count goal. You see, I wound up writing about 1,700 words that I soon cut, as they didn't match the rest of the story. So, to try and make up for that, I wrote a little extra each day, pushing myself to write a little more than usual. 

The result? Even subtracting the 1,700 words I cut, I'm still nearly 3,500 words over my goal for this month. ^_^

That's awesome! Do you feel like these words that you've added fit in the story still? If you were pushing yourself, they might be a little rushed.

Also, I've heard you talking about this book of yours a lot; what's it about? If you want, you can just respond in a PM.

One of my favourite MMOs is coming back 0_o. (Gaia online's "zOMG!", never liked the title much but the game was a lot of fun.)

I almost forgot, but I got an A for my maths test that I did on Monday.
Not that exciting, and I'm good at maths, but still.

I just got invited for job interview in Nokia.

I mean, nothing will probably come out of it - I'm not really suited for the job (I'm only on second year of uni after all) and I don't quite meet the requirements but it's nice anyway.

Oh yeah. I don't give myself a time limit in which to write, save for what's forced on me by schedules and whatnot ("Oh, I really need to write 350 words before I have to go to work, because I know I'm not going to get anything written when I get home late tonight") and I'm kind of a perfectionist, so it's more a matter of saying, "Okay, I need to move this story forward in a way that makes sense, so….best get to it." And now that I've set the precedent of cutting what didn't fit, I know I won't be tempted to write something forced just to up my word count. 

Long story (hahaha) short: cowboy wizards.

Congratulations, though! It means that you've done something right in presenting yourself as professional, which bodes well for future job interviews.

Even if they don't offer you the job, the interview experience is valuable by itself. Also they may have an internship programme that you can enter :)

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles how goes the Com Partners project??!!

A whole lot of silence. I don't know if CP is matching me with accounts that have been abandoned, or if I'm supposed to make more of a first move than using the non threatening "send a smile" thing, but the fact that no one has apparently even visited my profile isn't exactly encouraging.

Well that blows. Yea though I imagine that a lot of profiles are inactive. How is the format on it? Miles, state wide etc? Can you expand it a bit?
