yuuagoCame down with a cold earlier in the week, and I've been a mess ever since. Blech. It's mostly gone now, but I still feel tired and weak, and it's a real pain in the ass. Hell, I even went to bed at 10 PM last night. I don't even do that on a work-night. WTF is wrong with me.
Tried to work on my fest-fic, but since I'm feeling so awful, that didn't pan out. I don't have that much left to write, but it's difficult right now. Blurgh. Though maybe, were I working on something else, I'd be able to do it. Heh, this fic just is not turning out the way I wanted it to, and I really wish I'd had time to pursue some of the other ideas I'd had. (It's been ages since I've written a Poland/Estonia story. Well, maybe later....)
I can hardly wait to get my prompts for the Nordic Romance fest. Should be interesting. I'm getting kind of antsy about it, even. Heh. It'll be my first time actually being involved in a fest without having to host it and I'm really looking forward to it. I guess it's just that, a lot of previous fests have been exchanges rather than challenges, and the thought of having to write for someone else was way too intimidating. I write for the kink meme a lot, but that stuff doesn't have a time limit, you know? By the time I finish drafting my story, sometimes it's a whole year later. Exchanges just aren't doable. Anyway, yeah. Can hardly wait!
Shit, son. My birthday is coming up in a few weeks, and I feel kind of fidgety about it. I know 26 isn't that old, but I guess I'm kind of disappointed that I'm not anywhere close to the place in life that I had thought I would be at this point. Oh, well. Anyway, I probably won't be doing anything special. It falls on a work day, so I won't have the time, anyway. But at the end of July I'll be going to Edmonton with my brother to see Iron Maiden in concert, which should be fun. I'm glad I decided to accept his offer to take me.
Oh lawd, it's not even 10 and I'm ready to fall asleep. I hope I'll get over this cold soon. ._.

26 isn't old. There's still plenty of time to do things you want to do - and sometimes life takes an unexpected turn. but I wouldn't worry about it. Don't measure your life against others or how you thought it would be - just keep on looking forwards and concentrate on what you're doing right now and/or how to make what you have now better :)
and Iron Maiden concert! w00ho! Awesome :)

Date: 2012-06-24 05:08 pm (UTC)I realize 26 isn't old, but... I guess it's just that my life plan changed so drastically from what I originally intended, and now I feel kind of like a failure. But on the other hand, you're right... it's more important to concentrate on the future. And things are certainly better now than they were a year ago, so...!
And YESSS Iron Maiden 8) I'm so pumped for it. It's my first time seeing them in concert, ahhhh <3

Lucky you!
I'd love to see them live... one day.. Bl
Oh well. I've seen Lamb of God and Dimmu Borgir. That counts for something XD
