I have just discarded and revived and discarded three versions of a crucial plot point for the fic I'm working on and I'm not happy with any of them. I wrote the first part for the second one (900 words) before the third one popped into my head, but it's still far from perfect. Why must plot be so difficult?
Since writing that, I've changed the last scenario around again. It's staying that way because it's the best one I've come up with. Aargh!
In other news, I've finally opened a Facebook account because my RL friends kept begging me to and I am going to need it to stay in contact with them once I leave, which is only a month from now. I feel a little sad about that. I'm sure I'll be feeling a lot sadder in the coming weeks. But... London! Must focus on the awesomeness that is London. Which I am a little obsessively. Anyway, I'm trying to learn how to navigate this new Facebook thing, which is completely different from LJ, so it's a tad confusing. There are so many things flashing at me all at once. I'm sure I'll find my way around in a week or so, but I'm always so lost when I come across something new. Which is why I'm back here at LJ right now, which I like a lot. Too much. *is hopelessly addicted*
ETA: I almost broke my mobile. It fell to the floor as I was getting out of the car, which it's done dozens of times, but this time the screen went black! I tried turning it off and on a couple of times, but still nothing. Finally, I took the battery out and now it works. For now. *watches phone*

I am also in love with London! Wow, only a month from now, good luck! You are not leaving LJ, right? Go see "Phantom of the Opera", you might like the obsession and the identity issues of this musical. And post photos!

Actually, I'm going to Chicago first to visit family, then I'm going to London at the start of September. I will try to post as many photos as I can. Some of my other friends are begging for them, too.
I do want to see Phantom of the Opera. I read teh book when I was a teenager and was slightly obsessed with it. The Phantom is such a gloriously tragic character.

Oh, you have a Facebook? So do I! I just got it too. :D I think it's kinda fun. Better than Myspace, anyway.

You do? Cool! We could be friends, although I'd likely be posting a lot of stuff in Spanish. Spanglish, really.
I never got Myspace. I stubbornly resisted, but my friends kept pressuring me about Facebook and I do need someway to keep in touch with them. I just need to learn what's what to get situated.

Yep! This is my profile. (http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1265476357) \o/
Haha. The only reason I got a Myspace is because the guy I liked was on there and I could only look at his pictures if I was a member... *stalker*
