Hurrah, I'm seventeen! I'm very excited. Going out for a meal tonight at the Canton (Chinese place) .

Billing show tomorrow. So you won't see me for four days! How distressing.

I actually wrote something with unplanned structure. I'm not sure if I like it. [link]

Sun! The sun's out! I am very happy. Endorphins abound!

We've finally got the September issue off to print. Now we just need to concentrate on billing. I need to find some wellies.

It's nearly my birthday! Two days! I'll finally be seventeen... 'bout time too.

Been with Craig three years today. I love him very much... I don't think I could function without him, I really don't. We're having a night in with a bottle of whiskey, a new movie and a Chinese takeaway. I will write him something today.

I wrote a Tanka! [link] tell me what you think.

It continues to rain. I am sincerely unamused.

Joined an awesome new literature club: . Two of my most admired deviants =M-PlayC3ll and ~Synith founded it, so it can't be bad . It's all helpful, on-topic stuff... just what we need.

UPDATES

I wrote a little non-fiction piece on a memory I have; [link] It was quite odd for me, as I usually detach myself from my writing. I got some positive feedback, so maybe I should do some more sometime.

One week until I'm seventeen. Oooh. Watch out, Britain, I'm going to be careering along the road in a tonne of metal.

The Billing show draws closer! I'm looking forward to it; it'll be interesting to meet all the people I've been talking to over the last few months.

Me and Craig have our three year anniversary thing on Saturday. I have bought him a lovely prezzie, but I can't tell you what it is, in case he reads this page.

Proofing all day today, so I'll sink into my happy little bubble of content grammar-nazism. I do love words... am I a geek? Maybe, but a happy geek.

Wrote something outside of my usual style; I'd be very grateful for feedback. [link] I've tried to capture the London accent here (not cockney, more gangsta ), as I thought it would be interesting to write from the perspective of a group of people I generally look down on.

Oh, rain. And lots of it. It makes such a difference to my mood. Still, at least I'm indoors and warm.

Popped to Cambridge yesterday; picked up some lovely-smelling things from Lush. I am very pleased with them, and now I smell like berries!
