(Disclaimer: Feel free to not read the rest of this entry. I'm only going to be gloating all the way through)
I'm jumping about... so excited, so keyed up! Is there any feeling greater in the world than getting your story published? It's published online, on the neopets story competition. If there is anything needed to support my theory that neopets is one heck of a site, this is it.
For three days I sat in front of this computer, furiously writing, editing, and rewriting. I didn't get it the first time. I didn't get it the second time. But I did the third time. There must be some moral in this, but I'm not wasting my time looking for a moral when I can celebrate instead. Yes! Yes! Yes! *Head bang*
To celebrate, I'm going to watch a movie on TV and not work the rest of the evening. That's what success does to you.

Happy February
Happy first of February! It isn't New Year's, I know, but I've decided the only way I'm going to keep to any of my Resolutions (notice the capital R) is if I treat every month as a separate entity - for effective goal-setting.
Yes, I have been reading my (super-large) psychology textbook lately, plus a load of self-help books, leading to
1) A change in my hand-writing (Now, I can't understand it myself :))
2) Me identifying a lot of goals.
2a) Me striving valiantly to reach those goals.
3) Me analysing every person I meet for signs of personality disorder (so far, everyone I meet seems to be suffering from megalomania, low self-esteem or depression - I must be doing something wrong.)
4) A well-founded conviction that self-help books must be thrown out of the window at the first opportunity.
My first advice: STAY AWAY FROM SELF-HELP BOOKS! They're really addictive and they'll poison your life if you let them. Now, you can't even swear when something bad happens because you swore to curb your temper, didn't you? Or sleep properly at night because you suddenly remembered you didn't do your ten-minute meditation and introspection time (whatever that means).
People don't really like lifeless, ever-calm people who smile all the time, like zombies. Leave that to air-hostesses who are at least paid for that kind of stuff. People really like people who get mad and storm and rage for a while. It shows they're human. Just don't do it too often.
And trust me on the self-help books.
