It’s been forever since I’ve updated, I realise, and since it is the first official day of the blessed school holidays (which are far too short for comfort) I believe I do need to give all you lurkers a quick update.
My schedule for 5 days a week has been quite taxing a person such as I – from 6am – 8pm everyday, and it has caused me to delay the posting of Blood of the Snake chapter 25. My delay has never gotten this bad before – from a week’s delay to 2 weeks to a month – gosh, I feel so guilty towards my readers sometimes. But I should be getting defensive, and say that CERTAIN WRITERS procrastinate (be it intentional or otherwise) worse than me, by not updating for months on hand. I assure you, though, despite how full my hands may be with school and stuff, I will never abandon my project, for I adore it too much. The thing is, school is draining. In more ways than one. Period.
And I have one thing to admit for my reason not updating: I’VE BEEN OBSESSED WITH RTS GAMES. Like Stronghold, which is my first love in RTS games. OMFG. And a classmate of mine has given me Warcraft 3, or DotA which I am slowly beginning to like, after playing it out of curiosity…-hides face-
I know for sure Fenrir is going to comment about this now… XD
Ta all, I’m off to play games and procrastinate further. DON’T KILL ME THOUGH, or you won’t get chapter 25. XD
It surely has been long since I’ve actually seated down quietly and wrote something down which has no relations to school. Everyday has been a comfortable routine, me being a creature of comfort myself. The only problem with my new school is that everyday leaves me drained of words, and I find myself unable to transcend anything in the form of fiction. It get tough, but I hope I can manage. I don’t want to be like those half-arsed fan fiction writers that you see writing unfinished fictions that left you so unsatisfied and wanting of a plausible ending – it’s just sort of mean to those readers of yours.
I have to add that I think I have a great power of foresight or something equally inane like that, something like deja vu, I think. I’ve been talking to a few close people around me, telling them how odd it is how I find things seem to be so familiar as though I’ve seen it before somewhere.
Example number 1: The day I took my O Level results~
I went to school as per usual, expecting nothing much. I remembered a dream I had months ago, even before I took my exams. The dream went like: I was feeling really impatient and all, and Yuxin was seating next to me. Someone called my name and I went to the front. I signed something, then a faceless teacher gives me my papers, and to my shock I got (insert grade here). Now fast forward to the time in late 2007-early 2008, I really was taking my O Level results and Yuxin really did seat next to me, but no one called me to the front, I just went to the front. And when I collected my O Level results it was the EXACT SAME RESULT AS MY DREAM. My mind went into instant shock; I was so lucky I didn’t go into a WRITERSPAZZ or something like that.
Example number 2: The day I was having a class at Republic Poly~
I think I had this dream even before I had the dream of the O Level certificate. I was in a office cubicle-like room, and I was seated in one of those grey computer chairs ubiquitous at RP. I remember strangely that there was an Indian guy sitting across me and the room was darkened, and a tall tall guy was gesturing frantically, trying to explain something (though I forgot what it was about) and another guy who was bespectacled standing in front of a laptop. It was a very vague dream. Then I remember me waking up, thinking “WTF AM I DREAMING ABOUT.”
So again, fast forward to the time at RP when I was seated comfortably on a Tuesday afternoon, doing Cognitive Processes when I saw the EXACT SAME SCENARIO… The only Indian guy in my class, Hasim, WAS INDEED SEATING ACROSS ME and the tall tall tall guy turned out to be SEAN (YES I’M TALKING TO YOU) but then I forgot who was fiddling with the laptop computer at the time… so you could guess what my reaction was. And no, I didn’t run out of the class screaming but I remember feeling extremely odd and out-of-place at the time.
DEJA VU IS PRETTY SCARY IF YOU’VE EXPERIENCED IT BEFORE. You’ll know when you watch this video (ignore the Spanish subtitles, though) :
And I experience it so many times, I’ve lost count of it. Now, reverting back-
So now I’m alternating between watching old Oasis videos (I’ve recently rekindled my love for them), writing this post and writing Chapter 24 of Blood of the Snake. Speaking of Blood of the Snake – for those readers who came to this place, my humble online home – I still have tons of ideas for that story, you could say ambitious ones too, so don’t expect me to end the story too fast. I have school, and it is draining; all of you must understand that ideas don’t come so easily if you feel the way I do. Also, in regards to the story, Ban still has to come to terms that he cannot cheat on his lovers, Ginji still needs to understand that being a vampire (despite its benefits) makes him a constant killer and Cadmus still needs to be less control freak and less sadomasochistic. So, yeah, you get my drift.
I can’t really multi task in writing that well, you know, alternating between this post and my fic, so I’m going to end here for now.
Also I’ve changed my blog layout – hope it’s less boring.
