My weekend

Well, I'm finally in a coherant state of mind and am able to type up my weekend.

Friday - Had a nice lie in, finished packing and then got my taxi to the station. I really didn't think Bury St Edmunds was that far away but I was on various trains for a total of four and a half hours. I had to go to Peterbrough, then Cambridge and finally Bury. On the plus side I did get a lot of reading done but I'll talk about that in a minute.

Bury is nice, reminds me a lot of Harrogate which is also nice. Didn't really do much on Friday. My friend Ros met me at the station and took me back to her place. She wanted to go to Evensong at Bury cathedral so I went along. I didn't actually go to the service but I went for a walk round the church and did a bit of writing. Unfortunately I was tired so what I came up with was a pile of crap.

After the service we went back to Ros' and she cooked for me. Not long after that we both realised how tired we were and I got into bed. Ros had a call from one of the many men she fancies and was still on the phone when I fell asleep.

Saturday - Had a very pleasant day. Slept in which is always nice and then we went into Bury for lunch. Met up with Emma, a girl we both know from Uni which was nice. After lunch we went shopping and I spent way too much money. I bought a pair of leather trousers, a purple velvet shirt and a silver cross necklace which looks very similar to this one.



In the evening we had chinese takeaway and watched Erin Brockovich. Found it quite boring really.

Sunday - Was forced to sit around for 2 hours while Ros died her hair and did various little jobs. Unfortunately I'd finished the book I was reading and was therefore forced to watch Sunday morning tv. Dear God, it was a soul numbing experience.

Anyway, we were finally able to go out and we wandered around Bury again. I bought a new book (Narcissus in Chains - Anita Blake book 10). Ros bought me Michelle Branch's Spirit Room album as a birthday present and I treated myself to the South Park Movie soundtrack.

Ros went to church and I was a heathen, continuing to wander around until it was finished. We went back to hers and chilled until it was time for me to go.

Well, that was pretty much it. One thing that struck me this weekend was that I feel that Ros and I are finally starting to drift apart. We've been best friends all through uni and we always used to do girly things together. We've never really had much in common but we always used to be able to laugh about the men we fancied etc. Now I just find it exhausting. She's one of these people that fancies pretty much any man that shows her attention and unfortunately at the moment there are loads of them, plus one that has actually asked her out. There's only so much I can listen to about her men before I need a break.

Of course the other topic of conversation was James, the guy I met at her barbeque. She's determined that I'm going to marry him or something and the more pushy she gets the less interested I'm becoming. He should be getting in touch with me this week for our 'date'. I guess I'll just have to see what happens. At the moment I really can't be bothered though.

Right then, time for me to talk about Anita Blake again. I finished book 9 this weekend and am now onto book 10. If you don't want to be spoiled then don't go any further.

( Anita Blake stuff )

Interesting....

Almost as soon as I finished typing up about my weekend I got a text message from James asking me if I want to go out this week. Hmm....been a long time since I did the whole dating thing. I guess it's time to throw caution to the wind and see what happens

My thoughts on this weeks Buffy

( Same Time Same Place spoilers )

Version 2

This is probably going to be the final version of the story for my course. I've shown the first draft to a couple of people and made some ammendments and this is what I came up with. I found it hard to keep within the 400 word limit but hopefully this has done the job

As always if anyone has any thoughts then please leave a comment. Thanks :)

I can still remember my first kill. Not surprising really, something like that isn't easily forgotten. The details aren't as vivid in my mind as they once were though. I can't remember what she was wearing anymore, or what colour her hair was. All I really remember is my heard pounding in my chest as I hunted, that and the smell. Not just the blood that poured from her throat, but the fear.

Fear has a strange scent, and no matter how many books I've written and how many I write in the future I don't think I'll ever be able to do it justice. It's a cold smell, like a chill December night only darker and more intense. It climbs inside your head and assaults your every sense until you can feel nothing else.

It's strange really, I'm not much to look at. Just your average man with my beard and large glasses doing little to compliment my appearance. Why would anyone suspect that beneath the man is a killer, one who has tasted blood on countless occasions.

The moon is high tonight and I feel the stirring within me, howling for the taste of blood. It won't be long before I give in. In the past I'd fight the blood lust for as long as I could stand, the thought of taking yet another human life scared and repulsed me. I don't fight it so much now; I'm starting to accept what I am. An animal. A killer.

Most people refuse to accept the beast within, but we all have them. Mine just happens to show itself more readily than most. I look up at the moon once again and realise that it's time, time to give in to the primal instinct that lurks within us all.

I find it hurts less when I don't fight it so I relax and just allow it to happen naturally. It starts with the hair; it grows all over my body course and dark. At the same time my canines start to lengthen and the shape of my face begins to change. Soon I am on all fours, my clothes in torn shreds on the floor beside me. My claws make a light clicking sound on the stone floor as I pad outside and raise my head to the moon. Letting out a long howl I embrace the call of the wild.

You are 35% geek

You are a geek liaison, which means you go both ways. You can hang out with normal people or you can hang out with geeks which means you often have geeks as friends and/or have a job where you have to mediate between geeks and normal people. This is an important role and one of which you should be proud. In fact, you can make a good deal of money as a translator. Normal: Tell our geek we need him to work this weekend. You [to Geek]: We need more than that, Scotty. You'll have to stay until you can squeeze more outta them engines! Geek [to You]: I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain, but we need more dilithium crystals! You [to Normal]: He wants to know if he gets overtime.

Meh!

Tried not to get angry at my course tonight. Was told that my story was good but too condensed. Well what am I supposed to do in 400 words? GRRR! Anyway, this weeks homework seems a little easier. But still GRRR!

Was made slightly better by James calling me and arranging our date. I thought we'd just be going to for a drink but it seems I've got the whole dinner thing in store for me (And Tom knows, Rob, so there's no need to tell him thank you)

Now I need to pick what I'm going to wear. Argh! I'm turing into a proper girl. Not sure if this is a good thing or not...
