Posted May 17, 2012 Looking for a job today, I just realised all I want to do for a living is write and so want to set about this properly. I just have no idea how. You need to use your contacts with the Mayor to enable yourself to shadow a sexy, female homicide detective, and use your story-telling prowess to help her solve murder cases, and use her as inspiration for the main character in your new series of mystery novels.

Posted May 17, 2012 Looking for a job today, I just realised all I want to do for a living is write and so want to set about this properly. I just have no idea how. Write what? News? Stories? TV Shows? If it's journalism you want to get into, my flatmate who writes for the largest Glasgow paper would tell you not to be daft for It's almost impossible to get into It's a dying industry. To write a novel I think you just have to... write a story and send it to publishers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2012 You could start out by writing news articles and stuff for a independent Nintendo website. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 17, 2012 Today was a nice and quiet day at work, yay! Reason is that it's a holiday in Belgium and the Netherlands, so we had a lot less calls to deal with. And since I am new I wasn't put on the English lines like the other Dutch agents were, yay! Also got an hour of email training which was a nice break. Still hoping I can move to the email team at some point in the future, no more headaches from calls then! Also I don't know what it is, but I am suddenly getting a lot of offers for freelance work... such bad timing when I just got myself a full time job. =P May have to say no to a few things... but I don't like saying no heh. There's two big (or somewhat big) design/illustration jobs, two small commissions and an offer for more translation work. If I do it all somehow, that new iMac or MacBook Pro might be mine quicker than I expected! =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) My sister just headed off to the hospital ready to have her baby, hopefully it won't take as long this time. We've got my niece staying with us tonight so I'm now watching the Princess and the Frog. Edited May 18, 2012 by Happenstance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 19, 2012 Met @The Bard the other night who was outrageously drunk. Went for a few drinks in a few places before ending up at at Tower Bridge at 1:30, at which point I exited as I had work the next day. Was fun though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 20, 2012 I saw that and just assumed it was a BJ thing. I gave it a little more investigation and it's one of those "get shitloads of money working from home, but before we start you off - we need about tree-fiddy" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Went for a few drinks in a few places before ending up at at Tower Bridge at 1:30, at which point I exited as I had work the next day. Was fun though! Come on man, I wasn't even that bad. It was Richard who fucking snorted the line of piri piri spice, and Scott who had the horrendous incontinence issues. I was relatively fly. But yes, rad night overall. The day after we just sat on Nelson's monument at Trafalgar square the entire night and smoked this gnarly hash we bought from some rasta walking down Piccadilly Circus. Avengers was dumb as fuck.

Posted May 20, 2012 I forgot about the peri peri. That was quite something. Managed to wangle a free ticket to Watch the Throne at the last minute. Was quite an awesome (and long) gig! They closed by playing Niggas in Paris...six times. Rihanna was there too, although think that was a bit lost on me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 21, 2012 As I technically promised my brother, another bullshit violation would result in a major inconvenient punishment for him. Since [once again] he thought it appropriate to ask for one-two cans of beer from my stepdad and then take an entire crate round to his mates house. So I'm deleting all his friends from Facebook. Apparently just deactivating it is easier to get back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2012 So something which doesn't actually affect you but affects your step-dad and your brother is enough to warrant deleting all his friends from his facebook? Tell me again why you feel the need to get involved? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2012 So something which doesn't actually affect you but affects your step-dad and your brother is enough to warrant deleting all his friends from his facebook? Tell me again why you feel the need to get involved? Because it normally warrants a fair amount of shouting (and him saying sorry for the hundredth time which normally preludes him doing it again) which is putting strain on Mummy's/step dad's marriage. And that affects me greatly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 21, 2012 Not sure where this belongs, but Ine laughed, so I guess it should go here. Funny thread is funnier with pictures and I refused to have my picture taken of this. Ine was in the shower and I decided to help myself...to some yoghurt in the fridge. I don't know exactly what happened, maybe it was partly down to my brute-like strength (lol) or perhaps I just overestimated how much force I needed to exert in order to grip the yoghurt pot. I picked up the pot from its rightful shelf in the fridge and moved it over to the kitchen worktop. Straight away I knew something was wrong. The next part was very much a blur. I placed it on the counter and must have slammed it down too hard by mistake. The yoghurt erupted out of its container and destroyed my face. I could feel bits of it on my cheek, on my nose, chin, everywhere. I went to check myself in the mirror. There was yoghurt all over my hair, too. Ine laughed a lot and called me a gay porn star.
