Our World


I have recently posted chapter 7 on The Hex Files. Until tomorrow I'll only have it up there as it's really late and I'm very sleepy, but it is there.

When I sent the new chapter to them they had a little problem with my capitalising "Our World" in my story and it made me think about just why I did that. This is what I wrote:
I'm doing that in a sort of a reference to Gone With the Wind. There is a part where Rhett speaks about the purpose of war as opposed to the true purpose and he says something like "Cause with a capital "C"" in irony. So "Our World" is kind of ironic in the sense that it's said by people who think that it's their world and that they are doing what is best for it, but it's best for them actually most of the time. I could make a lengthy comparison here about how the different people in the story think about "Our World", but the story does speak for itself.

A little update on the coming chapters. Chapter 9 is coming along nicely, have 1200 words finished. I've set the scene, now is the time when the Malfoy family enters it properly. I still haven't decided what Hermione is wearing for a costume ball. If you have an idea for her, feel free to send it my way. Everyone else I've already decided.

Have fun reading and review if you feel like it.

I wrote a big blog post about losing weight, but not only that happened this year. January I left my position at Avaya. It was weird, because I've never been fired before. Though they took me back as a contractor, it's still an unstable position, though what position is really stable? However, it also meant losing some benefits, and that I would never get a raise in the new position. Not that I ever got a significant raise during my time at the company, or since working really, there was still hope though. Not to talk about bonuses. Who gets bonuses in this day and age anyway? Or at least an amount that actually matters? So I actually spent most of January at home. I had a bit of an accident, and dropped an old TV stand on my right foot. I think I bruised the bone, though I never went to a doctor. I had a hard time standing on it for a while, and couldn't wear heels. February Started off well. I held my first party in my new home. I cooked, and baked cooki...

January I finished my event planning course. There was first a sort of practice oral test, then a real one. I got a 5 for my real one, so now I have a paper that says I can plan events. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but you never know. The practice test was funny, because there wasn't anyone in the room after we got our question and could work on it. I didn't need my papers, however, because it was about analysing a source. For the real test I really wanted the first question. I used to be very good at always pulling the number that I wanted, and I relied on that. As so it happens, I did it again! I got home pretty early, and in the afternoon got a call from RTL Klub TV station, that I was selected for a small part in "Budapest Day and Night". I got a contract and everything, and they were paying me some money for every worked day. Not a lot, but actually more than my salary. The first shooting was in January. The filming went okay, though I co...
