Why do I have to come up with a title? D: · 1:26pm Oct 31st, 2012
Hey, hey, hey! Look guys! I made a jigsaw puzzle. :3
Oh man. What am I doing, I don’t even know.
So I have been more than a little insane lately. Exams are looming, waiting for me next week with an evil laugh and curling a moustache, and heaven help me, am I feeling it!
In order to try and explain my headspace, let me tell you about a wonderful group on facebook called ‘Law School Memes’, dedicated to, you guessed it, posting memes relating to law school. One of my all time favourites is this one, because not only is it true about the exam itself, but it really shows the lead up to an exam as well (and I have several, haha):
(It’s funny coz it’s true.)
The point of all this is that I am trying to apologise for a lack activity that probably isn’t all that noticeable to you guys. But oh well.
I am a manic individual, haha. When I do things, I definitely go a little crazy. I go and go and go, and I don’t stop till it’s either done, or it kills me. This is true for my writing, and it is also true when I am studying for law exams. Today I spent almost two hours doing nothing but pacing around my house, reciting over and over again the indicia of judicial power and how they impact upon the limits of judicial power. Over and over and over for two hours. And then I watched a couple of two hour lectures for the third time each, taking the same set of goddamn notes, convinced that I was missing something because I hadn’t worked out a problem question properly.
When working out this evening, my breaks between sets were me reciting every single one of the statutory exemptions to releasing documents per the FOI Act. Over and over for two hours. I then got mad at myself for not shutting my brain off and relaxing like I planned, so I went for a run, and like everything in my life, I just didn’t stop. Fortunately for me, some nice trick or treaters were kind enough to ask whether or not I was okay, lying on the side walk, wheezing for air like I was on my death bed. (I freaked the fuck when I saw someone with a Scream mask leaning over me, before I realised that the person wearing it was four foot tall and had a bag filled with sugar.)
As a consequence of this, I will snap at random moments and do stuff that doesn’t really make sense. Like making a jigsaw puzzle of Princess Celestia designed for four year olds (and struggling with it too, hahahaha). Or watching a youtube video about how to apply combat gauze (don’t ask. I don’t know how I ended up on that either). Or writing a FoE fic at 2am in the morning because I had to get my ideas on paper (only to scrap half of it and do it again in the morning when I woke up).
So yeah. Is there a point to this? Not really, outside an explanation as to where I am with any stories, of course. That is what the blog is for, right? To let people know how I am going as far as my stories are concerned? D:
Despite everything, I have been writing, albeit slowly and at very strange and unhealthy times. There may or may not be some stuff coming out in the near future (I haven’t decided if it’s good enough to post yet). I also heard from my artist, who says he should hopefully be all healed up in the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned on that front. The eight minute spoiler gave me a heart attack when I learned that it set some new history canon, but it didn’t make my story completely irrelevant, which is nice (especially considering there is over 120k words of draft written for it already).
So yeah. I dunno. Have a Rainbow Dash.
I think she has the right idea, personally.
Stay awesome! 
I'm making spaghetti bolognaise; want some?
Huh. So much text... So much rambling... I love it!
Have a Schnauzer for that.
463771 Would I?! You betcha I would, haha.
463777 Aheh.... yeah. I do ramble a bit...
My bad, haha.

No need to apologise for it. I myself ramble a lot. Like I said, I do enjoy some good rambling. Better than short texts or nothing at all.
Take my brother for example, he never rambles. I hate that. And he calls me out on it. "Why do you talk and walk so much?! Urgh!"
I always answer with something along the lines of "Better than to say nothing and to lay in bed all day to watch TV. Talking and walking helps to keep the brain fit. And if you stand or walk while you talk, you can actually talk better." The best part about it is, if I do leave him alone for a day or two, he comes to me and wants to talk and he hates himself for it.
463832 Hahah, that's pretty great. And I totally agree with you. Rambling helps puts my thoughts in order, I guess. Now all I need is to find someone willing to listen to all my rambling, and I'll be set!
haha, ah well. Rambling is good sometimes. It helps to mentally vent thoughts out once and a while rather than let your brain sit on them. Who knows, in a way it might work as a inner-reflection or brainstorming mechanism.
Besides. Putting thoughts out there on current matters of mental state makes you appear more human. That's good unless of course you wanted us to think you were a robot!
Hope your studies are treating you well, but try not to overdo it. Relaxing every now and then is important too!
463854 Unless making you think I was human was part of Robo-Mystic's plan all along!
But yeah, I'll get there, haha.
