All right. I just joined here.
This place is beautiful. So glad I'm part of it, and I vow to make the most of my membership. I will post some details about myself in my house, or in wikis linked onto my house.
I'm going to try and keep writing in this blog. Might come handy when I'm writing. I'll also thus save a personal copy. Feel free to comment.
So, the latest news:
School
One exam down, twelve to go. Algebra tomorrow. I think I'm ready, which of course means I'm going to suffer tomorrow. I also think I did well in English yesterday, which means i'm going to receive a pathetic mark for that. The article from the comprehension was really funny. It was called, "Teenager at Large". Absolutely hilarious. I'm definitely going to hang on to that.
NDI-ism
A couple of weeks back I was at the Oriental Plaza, a flea-market selling mainly Indian goods. I had just watched the film, Hum Tum, and the music was so good I wanted the CD. So I searched a store there when I noticed a woman staring at me as if my right ear had turned a distinct shade of green.
She asked, "Are you looking for Indian music?!"
I explained to her I was looking for the Hum Tum CD, and asked if she knew whether they had it.
"Wait a minute," she stopped me. "How do you know about Hum Tum?"
"I saw it last week in the Bollywood film festival," I explained. The look she gave me suggested that a) she hadn't heard of that and b) was impressed that I did.
We started talking about Bollywood, and she obviously became very impressed, because then she asked me,
"What's your phone number? I want you for my daughter!"
So, in the end we exchanged phone numbers. Not that I wanted to get married, but I wanted some more Indian friends.
I called her just before Diwali to wish her a happy Diwali. She was very flattered. Now I'm wondering - should I call her again to wish her daughter good luck for her exams?
As you can see, I'm a bit too obsessed with Indians...
Writing
I have several stories on Elftown, I think I will move them to here. Or maybe I'll just send my unread one, "The Horizonist". I have to admit I'm really worried about it because it has virtually no plot.
My novels have reached a standstill. I've added a few more lines to "The Book About Just About Everything." I haven't touched "Words Of Fury" for months. I suppose on one hand that's good, because i do just need to edit it. And replot it. This is reaching another of those ugly cycles.
Anyways, must study, so i will post again, and adjust my profile and all and all when I have time.
