tallulahgsFirst off:
I don't know if, on MSN, it states whether somebody is logging in from MSN or Windows Messenger, but if it does: I DO NOT USE WINDOWS MESSENGER. Hotmail automatically logs me in whenever I check my e-mail but I don't realise. So if I'm logged in via Windows Messenger/in the morning or afternoon (as opposed to evening) please don't try and speak to me as I will not be able to respond. I'm not ignoring you, I just don't realise you're there.
Quick life update:
Still trying to find a job. According to the newspapers, student summer jobs are in short supply due to the massive influx of Eastern Europeans to the country. Sigh. Still, I'm not giving up yet. I got a little emo about it all yesterday but I'm all I WILL SURVIVE today.
Speaking of surviving, I think Satomi is dead either way ;_; but it's been a good long (definitely long) run and not a bad achievement for my first RP. I just need to get over the tiny amount of bitterness that I am not perfect ^_^ and then I'll be fine again, heh heh.
On a side note, I wish people who gave you crit for your fanfic could explain exactly why it is they don't like it. (Probably shouldn't have given her the URL for Don't Speak. It's not going to redeem her opinion of me. Ah well. I am going to be sociable and friendly to my grandfather.

Date: 2006-07-08 12:43 pm (UTC)Yeah, I figure as much. It's gotten to the point where I only IM people if they have a display picture now, unless I know they've only got Windows Messenger. It saves me from feeling all ignored. XD
O_o I'll never understand why employers would rather give jobs to people coming in from other countries than to people already here who need them. Oh, wait, I already do - the immigrants work for less money. Silly me. *pets*
*pets* I'm really sorry about Satomi. She was awesome, she doesn't deserve to come 5th of all places (4th if Hirono posts before the end. Whichever.). There's still a chance she'll catch up, mind, don't lose hope just yet! ;__;
... Giving actual crit ALWAYS helps. I mean, even just a 'it's good, but not my thing' would set your mind at rest. x_X

Date: 2006-07-08 06:59 pm (UTC)Oh good, so it is obvious which one is being used! Phew.
*appreciates pets*
Hey, I am happy with 5th. I said, back in the day, as long as I wasn't first to go I was happy. And I am, and my death post fits with my last post. Really. I just... am going to sulk for a few hours #^_^#
Well, she was giving crit, it's just she couldn't explain exactly WHAT was wrong with my ending, and I'm trying to get her to without sounding really pushy ^^

Date: 2006-07-08 05:55 pm (UTC)*hugs more* Your Satomi did realy well and it's very impressive, even if you didn't win. And I know the feeling about being bitter for not being perfect. One day, you and I will get over these things! :)
My MSN always tells me if it's Windows Messenger or not so I will know. :) Have a nice time with your Grandfather!

Date: 2006-07-08 06:57 pm (UTC)Thank you. *is trying not to feel bitter* ^^
Oh good! I've been worried I've been accidentally ignoring you!

Date: 2006-07-09 08:58 am (UTC)Well, hi, you.
How difficult would it be to get a job at your local library? Or some kind of entry-level newsroom-gopher type of job at your newspaper or television studio? Those are the kinds of jobs for which articulate, intelligent, educated people are wanted, and the latter ideas particularly are not often thought of.Or, you could drive a taxicab. What the heck.

Date: 2006-07-09 09:07 am (UTC)Can't drive, unfortunately ^^
no subject
Date: 2006-07-18 04:54 am (UTC)For a moment there I was thinking that you were ignoring me.
Or thinking that I was weird.
It could be both. lol ^^
Anyway, did you write another fic. If so, you gotta give me the URL and let me read it. I haven't read anything good in the longest time and I think it's time to read something now!
^_^
no subject
Date: 2006-07-18 02:01 pm (UTC)I would never ignore you! Aww! (If I ignore people, they know why, because we've had a row or something. I should add that this never happens.)
Link to my most recent Akira fic
I did get some anonymous reviews from this, but they didn't sound like they were from you so I assume you haven't read it?
At the moment I've nearly finished an Akira Battle Royale, so I'll be posting that soon (hopefully) *shameless plugging* ^^
