KIDS, I AM NOT MEDICALLY PROVEN INSANE KTHX!

Okay, what a great start to a great post in a great day and you can tell that I'm being greatly bored by this great Monday.

I have cramps.

Now while I should be moaning and groaning about the trials and tribulations about being a woman, I instead am quite in the mood to jump for joy because having cramps means that I am fertile again!

No, actually, it means that I have reverted into being a relatively healthy if not slightly overweight munchkin.

Work is starting to get bearable nowadays - which terrifies me. I shudder to think at how I'm beginning to feel okay with working like this in this job and everything. Selling my soul, that's about right.

With regards to the Japan trip, Sim is confirmed to be NOT going, which makes me a very sad wookie. On the other hand, my very shameless advertisment on MSNMessenger has garnered me a potential travelling partner in my cousin. He's planning to go on a three week trip around Japan. With a girl. That's where I come in. The girl needs another girl along or she can't go. They're tentatively leaving on the 24th, which is a whole week earlier than what I'd planned. I'm not too chummy with my cousin so I'm obviously a bit hesitant. Otherwise, I'm all set to go alone and meet new people at the hostels. gosh, how i'd wish you'd offer to come with me, or ask me to go with you. but i'm hoping for too much.

If I am going by myself, I suppose I could extend the trip if I had the finances? Instead of 7 days, maybe around 10. I have to do some quick calculations...

I might free-lance for a men's magazine (thanks to awesome Eileen <3)! It's all "maybe"s but I don't really mind because hey, at least I've got a fucking chance at commericial, mass-market writing! 3 reviews by 2nd Feb (okay, this is a CRAZY deadline) for PC/console/handhelds titles. Problem? Uh, I don't own any current titles. HAAHAH. I have to go and buy some if I want to attempt a decent review. Watch my money fly away again! Then again I can totally cheat and base my reviews on haha, demos of the games. :D() Gotta check back with Head Honcho Eileen first. <3

LOL. Mmokay, she got back to me. Her editor wants like Xbox360 and PS3 reviews. Now while I'd LOVE to do reviews for those two consoles, I don't own either of them. And it's uh, not economical (although a very good excuse to buy both) for me to get either one now, so it's a no-go for me. LE SIGH. But I might be doing another article so... oh well. I mean, I'm a n00b at this, please guide me. Cue the cutesy, Engrish voice.

Writing's been hard. The words and ideas don't flow out. I'm in a brain-stump. My brain's stopped working. I can actually hear the cogwheels grunting with pain everytime I try to move them now. They've gone flaccid like me. ): I don't know how I'm going to finish this by the 31st. I'm absolutely nuts. What was I, and what am I thinking?

Oh yes, and Happy Birthday
