Today is a new day of making progress in the 'getting back to my productive self'. Several years ago when I used to run the Forgotten Crests, I had a website, artwork and writing (2000 pages+) worth of stuff. Now I struggle to write my novel with nothing in between. Its such a waste of time that I need to get more shit done. I am glad that I ( Read more... )

So the last time I updated was almost 6 months ago. Its not that I have forgotten about livejournal, its just that after so much time without the internet - one becomes less inclined to waste ones time before a computer screen. Before I came to New Zealand, I spend almost every waking hour of my free time in front of the computer. In my mind, I ( Read more... )

I wish I had an opportunity to connect my laptop to the internet - instead I have to keep using the pay computers at internet cafes ( Read more... )

Just a quick shout from the bottom of the world. I made it to New Zealand and its so beautiful here. Much warmer and much more humid than I had originally anticipated.

I'm finished Japan and now I am off to Narita airport to go New Zealand. I will post when I get there!

So since I last posted I finished my job at Geos and am currently living at a hostel in Tokyo. Tokyo has been one long party since I got here a week and a half ago. And now I am currently hung over - meaning that getting out of bed is much too difficult to conceive at the moment. Even the screen of my computer is making my eyes hurt. I think I am ( Read more... )
