Let me explain--no there is too much, let me sum up:
Okay, in August I moved into a new apartment. Just one quiet roommate, who doesn't have wild parties, stumble home drunk at 3 in the morning, or smoke illegal substances. Yes! That's much better! She's like me, a little too like me, we barely speak, but I'm cool with that. However, she doesn't use the air conditioning. I understand, she doesn't want to pay an extra 50 bucks every month, but this summer was HOT and it was not fun, but I don't exactly have the money either so I didn't argue.

It's taking me a while to get into the flow of this semester, but I have several projects/papers/tests coming up so I gotta get going. I think part of it is that I'm taking an online class that was the teacher's first class she taught online, so there were a lot of issues for the first few weeks that needed to be worked out. And my sister's boyfriend is in my Latin class, which is kind of fun but also a bit distracting because he'll make an amusing comment to me when I'm trying to listen to the teacher. Just little things to vent, really, mostly everything's pretty good.

I have no show to watch obsessively right now. I'm not sure if I should try to find one or not because sometimes it gets in the way of schoolwork when every break I take ends up being 45 minutes so I can watch another episode (but the love between Merlin and Arthur is so much more important than school--even the dragon thinks they should get together). Recently, I caught up with Criminal Minds (I may have a "slight" crush on Dr. Reid--he's a nerd god!) but now I have to wait a week for the next episode. I wonder if I should watch the Doctor Who or Torchwood eps I've missed, which is the first 2 seasons of the newer Who series and almost all of Torchwood. These are very important things to think about.

I finished a short-story-that-is-probably-now-long-enough-to-be-a-novella-or-novel just before school started. It was a lot of fun but now I need to edit it before I let anyone look at it. I don't have time to edit it right now, but I'd love to do something with it, though it does feature some explicit gay sex scenes. In order to publish it, I might need to remove those and have a cutaway to the curtains blowing instead of showing the boys blowing--well, you know. Of course, I probably won't have much luck anyway since GLBT romances are hard to publish, though there may be hope:

Oh, I just found out about this writer's workshop in Italy, called Sirenland, [link] I would love to go, stay at a luxury hotel in Italy, listening to professional writers discussing writing and how to get published, but I don't have the money. Perhaps one day.

Well, I've got a Latin test on Tuesday, better get studying. Valete!
