2012: a summary
Wow. I last updated in January. I'm terrible. The icing on my guilt-cake comes courtesy of the fact that I've got a lifetime account here. These days I'm most active over at Twitter - https://twitter.com/taniawalker
If I don't make a short record of this year I'll regret it in years to come, though, so here goes.
January: I took an entire month ( Read more... ) -
Chinese Customs confiscated my yoghurt. :(
So I'm in Beijing - the airport at least - but I can't access Facebook or Twitter, which I probably should have seen coming. BUT ANYWAY! To the three or so of my friends who still regularly read this, hello, I'm alive and safe thus far. But the trip is young ( Read more... ) -

Oh wow, I'm actually updating. It seems tonight's weather forecast is "flying pigs ( Read more... ) -

Waiting
Right now, my life is a waiting game. I recently interviewed for a job I really, really want, and I'm expecting to hear back on whether I got it either tomorrow or early next week. I don't know what I'll do if I've missed out. We've been here in Tassie over a year and a half and I just haven't found the work I thought I'd find. I knew it would be ( Read more... ) -
The problem with only updating once every two months is it's super hard to pick a subject.
I'm here because I'm procrastinating, and I'm procrastinating because I'm in the middle of playing catch-up on everyday life. For the past couple of weeks I had three of my QLD friends staying - a few of the old Reel Time Gaming crew - and we explored the living hell out of Tasmania. We frolicked in the snow on Mt Wellington and (on a particularly ( Read more... ) -
Life roundup
I've been having trouble keeping LJ updated due to no real internets at home - I have a little portable 3G modem but not much download on it, so I need to save that for TAFE studies. I have an LJ app on my phone, but once I write an entry of more than a couple of paragraphs it becomes impossible to get back up to the top of the written part and ( Read more... ) -
Novel progress
I'm 25,000 words into the second draft, and have just sent out the first three chapters to my lovely volunteer critics. Have already had some lovely feedback about Chapter One, as well as Mark's usual spot-on analysis. That lad is totally getting a mention in my Acknowledgements. ;) He's put more time in on my novel than some people ever put into ( Read more... ) -
Hobbit along
So I'm still alive (I think all my LJ entries start like this, these days). I really didn't mean to up and abandon LJ like that. I want to keep using this thing the rest of my life. However, having internet access is a pretty vital step in the whole "using LJ" thing and, sadly, I don't. After a month of dealing with the internet company we've all ( Read more... )
