So, I've finally gotten around to editing last year's NaNovel. I'm actually rather proud of how at least the first few chapters are amazingly readable. The working title I gave it during NaNo 2008 was "The Woe of Ignorance" but I soon changed it to "Sins of the Ignorant" as that basically had more meaning to the story. Set in some alternate universe in its medieval era, this novel revolves around Deni, an 18-year-old girl set to be married, and also undergoing the manifestation of psychic abilities. The manifestation in itself is not too horrible a thing to undergo, though rather frightening when one does not know what's happening. For psychic abilities are not common, and basically not believed in, even in this world. What is worse for Deni is her destiny. And how not everybody wants this destiny to be fulfilled. And her not knowing a thing of this destiny at all. Her life takes a turn from bad to decidedly worse. It does not help that her family knows even less of what's going on than she does. Hence the title.
I still haven't gotten a job, which sucks. If you know of one, please do tell me. I'm 
reaching desperacy level 5000 this week. But still. Life is sweet, and I'm enjoying every minute of it. And you should too ;p

And as quickly as that, the summer holiday is reaching its end, and everyday life is returning to families all over the world. Of course, I don't have anything to go back to now that I have no school, no job and basically no life. My best friend goes to school far, far away next week. I could have, as well, if I hadn't chosen this particular year to jumble up my priorities. Instead I'm broke as one can get, searching for a job, hoping I can earn some money soon, so I'll be able to pay the rent. Which is always a plus. Food would be nice too. The way it is now, I'm practically living off my boyfriend which damages both my pride and his economy. But I can see a bright future ahead! Just you wait and see ;) Lea went home last night. After staying here for two awesome weeks, there was no other choice than to go home again at the end. Taking the night train from Trondheim, only to look forward to a six-hour wait at the airport, resulted in a highly caffeinated girl packing up her things in the late evening. This weekend we went to Mr. Man's cabin, which was nice, and Lea got a nice amount of nature, sea and water-skiing. Or, at least quite a few stubborn attempts at water-skiing. I also had a few tries, but as I'm sure you can imagine why, there won't be any pictures of my attempts. Instead I can show you Karen, who actually succeeded.
And now I can look forward to spending next weekend with my two best friends, eating insane 
amounts of things that aren't good for you and and just enjoying the very last days in which I can at least pretend I'm not in a little bit of deep shit.Treat all disasters as if they were trivialities but never treat a triviality as if it were a disaster. -- Quentin Crisp
