This is just a snippet. Requires a bit more knowledge, but eh. From somewhere in the middle, ish. Strong language contained within. Fiona comes off sort of horribly in this, but in her defense, she's had a rough couple of days immediately prior.

To aid in immediate understanding, Charlie is a ghillie dubh, a sort of forest spirit; Cúchulainn is Fi's dog.

This is...a snippet from the story I'm working on. Irish mythology set in and intertwined with modern day. The narrator is a twenty-something woman named Fiona. You don't need a lot of background to understand this bit.

Priorities in an Apartment:
-No further from campus than I am now (Patchen Place is a little iffy at New Circle/Richmond Rd)
-<$600 a month in rent
-Washer/dryer IN UNIT
-Extra storage
-Dogs of all sizes allowed (breed restrictions ok)
-Dishwasher. Non-negotiable.


( apartments. )

this is primarily for my own organization and will probably be updated over time.

( things to spent money on. )

i'm gearing up for the beginning of the next term. slowly. been sick, a lot lately. unfortunate. in fact i spent so much time the last few days vomiting that i am stuck at home while all my college friends get together for new years. i hate my immune system. (i blame my niece. don't tell my sister.)

just bought textbooks, for the three that i have the information for. only $142, so far. cross your fingers, and hope that my last course doesn't have much in the way of text books. i'd love to get by this term with less than $200 spent on texts (especially if, like last term, i don't bother to read a damn one of them.)

but i don't think i can bullshit my way through this term, like i did last semester. (even i have my limits :-P )

i keep meaning to write a list of things i wish customers didn't do at work, to the tune of all those articles that i've been seeing written by restaurant staff. unfortunately, i only seem to get worked up about it while i'm at work, without the time to write it down, and then by the time i'm home all i want to do is relax and not think about work anymore. but when i go back to work, it'll be in the middle of semi-annual sale, so i might get around to that, after all.

( things i should probably do. )

i want a wii fit for my apartment. i looked it up on amazon just now, i can get the wii fit plus and balance board, like what we got my mom for christmas, brand new for only $90. the wii we have here is technically mine. i looked up a replacement wii for my mother, for when i take mine back to lexington with me, and that'll cost about $200. butch can totally afford that. in a couple paychecks, i can probably set aside enough for the wii fit. that'll make me happy -- i really enjoy doing the yoga on the wii fit.

i am only rambling at this point -- waiting for molly to come pick up my christmas presents for hanover friends so that i go lay down. so, i guess that means i'll shut up :-P

my mother's homemade potato soup for the win.

I did it. I decided to start over. Clean slate, and all that.

This comes at a really, really good point in my life.
