I'm in a kind of weird mood today. Also, I'm sorry for not posting as much as I should have been. I would use the old lame excuse of "I've been busy" but it's truuuue.
I'm a bit lost right now, I think haha, I feel like my legs are jostling for most-painful-place-on-Earth with my head and my back. It's kind of tiring haha. Also I've just had a rather large fight with le boyfriend so I'm not sure he is still speaking to me. I don't know if I should call him or not. I've already texted (but I think he might not have credit) and talked to him on facebook (but he was idle). I don't know if calling is a bit too clingy?? [For the record, we were both just snappy with each other, neither of us really did anything too wrong except for not being very respectful in how we were speaking to each other].
It's also strange for me because I'm at home at the moment which I'm not usually. My sister is being delightfully horrid and reminding me why I stay at my boyfriend's house so much in the first place.
I think I've made a step forward in my development as a person. I consider myself to be primarily a good person. There are people who would disagree with that, one girl who would call me "the worst friend ever". But I look at my life and there are people who love me, who think I'm an amazing person, and really, those are the people who know me the best. I think anyone who doesn't like you, just doesn't know you well enough yet.
Hopefully that made sense!

Megan

Bubbles and Boringness
Well, I'll confess I've left today's post astonishingly late. Not really, I have an hour. However, knowing me, I will now proceed to get a drink, sit down, type a sentence, make a snack, sit down, eat the snack, type a sentence, go to the bathroom, sit down, type a sentence, complain about the blog and type a sentence. I would then be left, five minutes before midnight to write pretty much an entire blog. It's a kind of way I fail, ostensibly.
My boyfriend is rolling around, moaning and complaining of being "mindshagged". Then again, I suppose studying engineering for six hours on a holiday would do that to a person. In some ways I'm grateful that I am not doing a university degree that requires such an intense level of commitment (as I'm sure it is a commitment that I would not make) but at the same time, it often results in people assuming that I am less intelligent that I feel I am. If I were in a degree like Law, Science, Medicine or Engineering (all of which I got the grades to do) I think I would get more respect. Eh, that's the trade off for doing what I love.
Today I had a lovely hour-long bubble bath before being summoned to the line of duty at work. The bath was deliciously slimy with bath salts and copious amounts of body wash. I did come out smelling like a rose, though. I discovered a whole heap of my old poetry and report cards today. I also found my old maths book, which contained about a 1:10 ratio of maths to drawings/poems/stories/random lists etc. It's no wonder that my feedback on one of my exams was merely "you don't like maths, do you?" and a nod.
However, I'm afraid I must leave you to spare a few cookies from my boyfriend's lusty mouth (and transfer them swiftly into my own, of course). I hope you have a really pleasant day!

'Allo, 'Allo
Hello, hello, lovely blogthings.
I am currently nursing a six-post-a-night backache* presently. Oh BEDA, how you'll kill me. My lovely boyfriend has offered me a massage as soon as I'm done with this, though. And we have new frangipani massage oil which smells *delicious*.
I have fifty-two minutes to post this, plenty of time, for once. I wish I was as dedicated to my assignments as I am to posting, and catching up on, BEDA blogs. It would be so easy to do them if they were as interesting, fun and motivating as this. Oh well, as long as this gets/keeps me writing, I am not complaining at all.
My eighteenth birthday is soonish, so today I scoured the *entire* website of Forever 21 to look for things I wanted. I ended up not with a massive list, like I was expecting. Spring and summer fashion has never been my fave, so that's likely why.
My most coveted items are:
Banded/bandage skirt
Sailor tunic
Plaid dress
Mesh-skirt dress
Bird pendant necklace
Pleather leggings
Glasses pendant necklace
Madeline hat
Punk top
Pink hoodie
Oddly, in one of my classes at uni, we have to write three blogs for assessment. Apparently, on the first one, I had the style and voice of a blog down pat but my subject choice wasn't very good. I guess that's what happens when you're a chronic procrastinator and you can't think of anything to write.
Lots and lots of uni work at the moment, nothing terribly exciting to report on that front, I'm afraid. I'm on Easter break though, at the moment, which is proving to be little more than a study vacation. My Easter was wonderful, I spent the day with the boyfriend and my family. We had an Easter egg hunt, which one of my older sisters won, despite both me and my other sister having boyfriends on our team. Not that winning really matters in my family, at the end of the hunt, we gather all of the eggs together and divvy them equally. It was only last year when I realised that other families did not do this. I think it's a bit nicer that way though, everyone is finding eggs not for personal gain or glory but for the satisfaction of chocolate cravings of the entire group. I enjoy our socialist Easter eggs.
Made it and with twenty-seven minutes to spare, to boot!
That's all, folks!
xoxo,
Megan

BEDA
The BEDA ship has pulled into the harbour of the internet, waited for all of the willing and cheerful passengers to board and departed merrily on its way. As it was last year, I have been left panting on the dock, holding my suitcase and ticket in hand, forced to watch that great and wonderful vessel sail off without me. It is now time for me to board a rowboat and paddle my little heart out to catch it, hoping that I can board, if I reach it at all, that is.
Honestly, the only other person who I have heard of who is doing BEDA this year is Hayley. However, she has inspired me. To be honest, I need all of the motivation and inspiration to write that I can get. Lately I have been going through such a creative drought, it is ridiculous. I am contemplating opening a dictionary, pointing at random words and building a story out of them.
I think it would go something like this*:
WORDS
Disease
Furnace
Seclusion
Killing
PLOT OUTLINE
A terrible disease is sweeping Nano Porter's city. Nano and his family have fled Los Giergos but the deadly virus follows them wherever they travel. Through a horrible furnace accident, Nana's family is claimed by the illness. Left alone in a secluded mountain cabin, Nano must find a way to stop the killing.
Actually, those words weren't quite as random as I thought they'd be. I was expecting something like chair, salubrious, dancing and banana (the Moscow Dancing Bear Circus is ground to a halt when a usually salubrious young trainer slips on a banana peel and impales himself on a chair) or light, vehicle, shirt and plea (A rogue spaceship blocks all light into Juleotown, crippling the city's shirt-production industry while the pilot refuses to hear the plea of the townsfolk and move his vehicle).
I'm afraid to say I have to leave now!

*Yes, I did pull these out of a dictionary.
