Internet went a bit mad again last night. I don't know what happened, really. Apparently it just stopped connecting at some point yesterday when my sister tried to go on, which upset her for most of the night, because she couldn't get to her MSN and messageboards. I assumed dad had fixed it last night when he went to bed early, so tried this morning, and yay, working! But sister was all 'I didn't know, I've been waiting since yesterday, I'm going out later (she didn't), omg'. So ten seconds later, I gave it up to her for, what turned out to be 5 hours. Sigh. ( Okay, angst )
But anyway. Back now, hurrah! Did not work yesterday. Or today. Went back into an employment agency I registered for ages ago though, to say I'd talked to someone else who was using them and they said they'd made them take a typing test, why didn't I take a typing test, can I take a typing test? They said the machine must have been down then - I still did not take a typing test. They said something about a possible job today of tedium and photocopying, but I haven't heard anything so far. The funds are down, and I really need to start putting something away for September (you know, for uni registration, new house stuff, TV licenses, Internet subscriptions, Connotations, yadda yadda yadda...). I can't go to Canterbury this weekend for my housemate's poetry exhibition - fare is £85 from Leeds, and I just don't have it. And it turns out it's at least £66 from Nottingham to Newcastle, so I've got to start saving for that too. No more DVDs for a while :(
But I did go see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night! With my sister. ( Semi-angst. I am sorry. ). There was no trailer for Corpse Bride, as I had hoped, or for Goblet of Fire, as I had hoped. Sister did almost choke on her coke at the Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants trailer though, which was amusing :)
( Thoughts on the film )
And, I have been writing. Writing fic. Malcolm in the Middle, Francis/Spangler. Not porn, or explicitness, or even sexualness just yet. But fic. I'm quite pleased, but slightly afraid that it won't last. Will just have to keep writing I guess :) I even have a small piece finished, and it's funny, but I didn't want to post it. As though it would somehow jinx my writing spell. But I'm in the middle of a slightly longer piece at the moment, and have other ideas, so I'm going to post and not think about it. Yes. In a new post.
