Doing Laundry + Contest

Journal Entry: Sat Sep 13, 2008, 3:34 PM
  • Mood: Pleased
  • Listening to: Jason Mraz
  • Reading: Psychology Textbook
  • Eating: Easy Mac
  • Drinking: Water
:new: My literature group, *Inked-Page is going to be holding their first contest within the next week. While the topic is still being sorted out, I am desperately looking for prize donations and judges! If you are willing and able to help in either of these areas, please send a note to *Inked-Page and let me know! :heart:

I finally got a chance to clean out my inbox. :phew: Hopefully I can keep the deviation numbers down for a few days.

College has been going pretty smoothly. Besides from the fact that it takes FOREVER to do laundry (waiting for a machine, waiting for everything to wash, waiting for a dryer, waiting for things to dry TWICE-since the dryers stink), everything else has been fun. Classes are going pretty well, and it seems really chill, which I am thankful for.

I have one more class tonight, Psychology 1. First college quiz! :lol:

I've really been enjoying my class, How Writers Break the Rules-And Why? It's such a great group of people, all diverse, all good writers, and it's so relaxed. We talk about opinions and never really have to focus on ONE specific thing. It's great. I'm really glad I got the opportunity to take it. I'm excited for it tomorrow! :D

I've also been into the city three times now. Twice to visit *Death-By-Romance and the other- I went to see one of the closing performances of RENT. It was FANTASTIC, and I'm quite sad it's over, as I would love to see it again. :( I did download the entire soundtrack as soon I got home though. :heart:

Anyway, I need to get a move on with *Inked-Page. But, as a secret, I think we'll be having our first contest in the next few days. :) I'll post a link here when it's up.

I also have a dA To-Do list racking up. There's a folder in my message center which I have appropriately titled "Things To Get To". :laughing: We'll see what happens.


:bulletred: List of people who have already contacted me for collaboration:
`TerrorCookie, *wyettaripper, *LenAlox, ~DaisukeBlushes, ~Bloody-Falcon

I'm still open for collaborations! Note me.

If you'd like to collaborate, there are a few options. We could write a piece together, or pieces that go together, etc. You could give me a photograph to write about, or something in your gallery to continue. Anything creative. :)
