Tomorrow is my final exam. Also last chance to ask out student. Wonder why I'm such a pussy? Oh, yeah, that's right. . .
Anyway, ended up spending all of last night editing a short story I wrote back in college. Some guy was looking for SciFi stuff for some magazine or other he's trying to get together. Editing made it better, and it's probably...

Good 4th of July weekend. Lots of drinking and eating, just as God intended. Saw F 9/11 and Spiderman 2. While it was a good movie, everyone who thinks it is better than part one is clearly insane. Still, Sam Raimi can still do no wrong in my book. Worth the wait.

Yesterday was good to me. Half priced steak at SSG. Hints that I might start having some sort of dating life again.
This last part I'm not so sure about.
Today will probably be less fun.

If it turns out that you read the hints correctly, good luck with getting back into the dating thing. 
Ugh. It appears I'm going to *yet again* abandon this chapter before it is complete. Slowly. . . slowly. . . It progresses. Essential, and only two or three pages away, but it's fighting me. (More than usual)
I think (hope) that the last three chapters will come more easily.
Somehow, I think I'm subconsciously throwing up road blocks so I *won't* finish. If I...

Oddly, I've found that learning to let go of a work is sometimes the best option. Even though massive work has been put into something, sometimes the only value to be extracted was the process of writing it; the actual work itself may be useless.
I hope you find use for this project, though.

Ah, well, not a chance in hell this work is getting let go entirely. >grin< No rought draft is ever high quality, after all. But, sometimes it's good to walk away for the night.
I've been reading _Stories of Your Life (And Others)_ again, this time not in order.
This time around, I'm somewhat less in awe. His ideas are powerful and his prose is tight. *Very* tight. Still, I notice some problems (tense shifts, etc.) that make me someone happy -> even great writers make mistakes. Still, *less* in awe is far from being *not* in awe, and...

Outlined rest of novel in broad strokes. Now I've got an idea how close to finishing I am, which makes me a little more happy about finishing. Also a little more excited, thus productive.
Also made Abstracts for remaining two novels. Good ideas always come from the shower, it seems.
If I finish by the end of summer, I can have the rough draft revised...

I've started to wonder why I resist sleeping with this girl. Other than, of course, that whole Eating Crow thing. Not really all that much Crow, either. Meh.
School is going well, although it's terribly, terribly boring. Obnoxiously boring. Also, all the attractive girls in the program are married or on their way to being so.
No plans for July 4th as of yet. Might...

Had a series of sad, linear dreams last night about the ex. Came out of nowhere. I'm currently tired and poorly rested.

Yep - Diplomacy by e-mail, one turn a eek.

Annoyed. Two girls stil interested in me. Met a cute, cute girl tonight that I'll never see again. Didn't get to write any tonight.
Detroit won tonight, which is something, but still. Things are highly obnoxious. I would be better off with a substantial reduction in hormones.

Went to see Potter a couple of nights ago. Went out for drinks the night before. Apparently, two people I know (not quite friends) who are roommates both are interested in me. It's nice on the ego, but hardly enough to compensate for the fact it's annoying bullshit. It makes me not want to talk to them because they're acting a little off.
