Updateses time again

Quite a bit has happened since I last posted.

First, I still don't know if I passed my supp, since I am now, along with everyone else I've spoken to, locked out of ROSS. Highly helpful. I don't feel good about it though.

Other than that, I spent the last weekend of my holiday getting high and sunburned at the top of van Reenen's Pass.

To clarify, there was a climbing comp which I entered with a friend's brother. We didn't expect to place, but we had fun. On-sighted a 20 so the weekend wasn't a total loss. If I had been able to actually climb a bit more in the holidays, I might have done better. Need to con someone into taking me climbing next year. Can call it training. ;) Any volunteers?

I also got to spin fire. [cue glowy eyes] That was so awesome! No photos, but I didn't burn myself doing it, so it's all good. Also, I was told by the guy whose poi I borrowed, that I "wasn't too bad" so I'm fairly pleased with myself.

Going back to Rhodes on Thursday. w00t of note that one.

Story time part the derx....

Story 2. (Not a sequel, although I am working on one, it isn't working how I want it to.)

Attempt to enjoy....

*goes off to read more Schlock Mercenary*

Story type thing....

Um yeah. Here we go.

Bear in mind that I managed to cut it down to 47 words from about 3k. It was an attempt to see how long I could avoid coming to a point....

Actual story.

...

Not much happening, need to get the hell out of here for a while. Oh yes, going to see about applying for my German passport, just so's I got one again. We shall see.

On the plus side, managed to write 3k worth of totally pointless story. Not too much worse than what I've heard other people write too.... Might post a link to it at some stage.

For some reason I'm not sleeping. Only got to sleep at 0600 this morning, woke at 1600. Really annoying me, let alone my folks, who are now moaning that "they never see me despite me coming home to visit". Meh. Over it.

Justforthehellofit.

Just felt like posting again, mostly because I need to vent a bit.

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF THIS PLACE! I NEED TO ACTUALLY GET AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS WITHOUT MY FAMILY AROUND.

OK. Done. Post over.

*returns to watching Ergo Proxy (It is Truth. Very good so far, which isn't very far, but anyway. meh.)

Updateses?

Yes! Lo! It are an update!

Um yeah. Not much to really say. Been doing very little of anything practical.

First, the Christmas haul. This was depressingly useful, all shirts and socks and so fort. But fear not Splat Fans! I do have a voucher for Exclusive Books so all is not lost!

Um yeah. I'm not getting out enough.

Will attempt to visit Markles at some stage but Sun City has fallen through. [sadness]

Oh wells. Um results.

Got one supp (Maths) and failed Che 102. Rest are OK. My fault though. Need to at least attempt to work a bit more this year. Take that as a resolution if you so wish. ;) Not that I can make any that I actually keep.

On the plus side, I'm entering the Rory Lowther Comp with Paddy. Look out world, The Dreaded Piano Clubbers of Lurgi are coming! Bootle in your trembs! Mwahahahahahaha!

New Year. It did happen. I thin I was watching Ghost in the Shell Stand Alon Complex 2nd Gig. Really not sure though. I've been rather creative today: finished off DH stuff that's been lying around since October.

Anyway, this is a singularly unenlightening post done merely for the sake of posting and therefore I believe I shall shut up (cue cheers) now.

*does as promised and fades into foreground to finish Cowboy Bebop*

Homeses!

Um yeah. It took me a while to get home.

My fault entirely: I went to visit Paddy so I only got home on Tuesday evening. The first week and a bit I was with Paddy. Or more precisely, on an SU (Scripture Union) camp. Was... interesting. Not going to talk too much about it though.

Other events? Went climbing with the Freers last weekend. Was all misty and cold. And my climbing was not particularly up to scratch. Need to get onto rock proper before Rory Lowther. (Is a climbing comp first weekend in February.)

Other than that, been reading a lot, almost finished DNAngel as well. Going to start on Ergo Proxy next, sounds really awesome. Holidays and free time for the w00t!

Actually saw my cousin yesterday. Dunno how long it's been but anyway. He's the sound engineer for a band/group named Ghapi. Was nice to see him for a bit.

Um... Not much else really. Kay is nagging for me to get up to Lake Kariba for New Year but we don't got imali. So that's a no go. Which is a real pity. But I can't go and that's the end of it. I'd rather not think about the fact that I'm only going to see her in February, but that's the way the wafer crumbles.

Chiqua is coming home today, was gallivanting up in Jozi for a while with Craig. Not quite sure what's happening there, but I daresay I'll find out. All else fails, tickling won't.

We are going to have a braai today. Red meat.... Um yeah... Res meat is not the greatest. To put it mildly.

Markles is in the Netherlands but is back on the 1st of January. He has got some stuffses for me so I need to see him soon after he gets back.

Anyway, I have to get back to some serious loafing and see how and when and if I can visit Evol, Tally and Zo. Will keep posting at infrequent intervals.
