I believe this would be an appropriate juncture to note how boggling it is to visit the website of a publication supposedly connected to a university program which (also supposedly) teaches web-site design... and then get stuck in frames.
I Am Surrounded By Morons!
Yes, the cry is back. In full force.
But anyway, I take solace in the fact that though I am considering this course, it is not for the web-design elements, but rather for the editing and creative writing aspects. It sounds wonderful. It sounds like just what I want. It sounds like it can get me the job I want. And it sounds unbelievably cheap. There has to be a hitch...
Oh yeah, I have to move to Melbourne.

The typed pages of Novel-planning smell like a book. This, I find reassuring.
Yes, I am pulling it out, stretching my mind, entangling my fingers in the details once again. Determination, driven by the usual source. The new releases of HarperCollins, including so many new authors and books, and I experience a surge of covetousness.
Mine. It's purely visceral. I want it.
Now, I guess, we see whether I want it enough.

9. Pray... select a word describing your inner feelings: (Urgency, Escape, Mellowing, Togetherness, Confusion, Questions, Reflection, Accomplishment, Stability.) Dee goes looking for the non-existent option: Abstinence.
Incidentally, this is what comes of getting the Grim Reaper to guess my age. He said I was 24. Three years off ain't bad, I guess. I really don't want to be 24, but that's my own bag of issues.

Today is Father's Day. So I'm taking a break from Machiavelli to say this:
My father is a wonderful man. A wonderful, brilliant, awe-inspiring man.
He is laid-back, prioritised, unregretful, full of life. I try to emulate him. I feel bad when I don't live up to him. I feel terrible when I disappoint him, in a way that just doesn't happen with my mother. My mother rants, raves, and has to order me multiple times to do something. My father need only ask, or even merely suggest, and I will leap to do it.
I am my father's fourth child, my mother's first. I am my mother's only child, but merely my father's youngest. He always respects me. He is always assured of my ability to think and act in a sensible manner. He is the source of a great deal of my own self-confidence, both consciously and unconsciously. He is warmth and stability and comfort. He is the rock upon which the edifice of my life is built.
I love you, Dad. Just wanted you to know that.
