Thought or Rant of the day!!!

[Genie]

But our Dutch internets are usually super neat. I've got 100 Mbit/s up and down, fiber.. in a town.

That's good because I'm planning to come there to see the works of weird master Hieronymus Bosch. I hope I can make it on time.

[SekoETC]

I'm starting to wonder why I got out of bed in the first place. It feels like the kind of a day that I don't want to do anything. Too early to take a nap, though.

[Rebma]

Soooo. A few months ago I went through a big stressful thing in my life, a culmination of two years of struggle sent me a little haywire and I made an impulsive decision.

I booked three weeks off work for april despite not really knowing if I'd be in a place where I could manage that time off.

And then I procrastinated. Except today when I tried to sleep I laid awake with my mind on repeat stressing me out about what if's and remember to's. So I got out of bed. Today, 19 days before the vacation starts, I finally bought my bus ticket.

In 20 days I'll be in Florida. I am actually more excited than nervous in this moment. Though that could be the oxytocin release that online purchasing always gives me.

I hope Florida is ready for me.

Whereabouts in Florida? Orlando area?

[Alladinsane]

We have spring break and bike week every year.

We can handle you.


Bring lots of $$$ because this state will nickel and dime you to the bones.
Please travel safely Rebma.

Just thought I'd pop back in and reconnect with the Cantr population since I took a machete to my Facebook contacts when I quit. What has everyone been up to? I've finished my first novel and am working on the second, and starting to take baby steps into wider world of writing and publishing. None of it would have happened if it wasn't for Cantr. I've created a facebook page and blog to catalog my exploits, if anyone is interested or voyeuristic.

I would have put this in a "shameless self-promotion thread" but couldn't find one.

I heard drunkenness was finally implemented? Far too late for my characters. One of mine would have preferred to drink herself to death. What's going on on Teregotha/Shai island? I know you can't talk current events, so feel free to PM me.

No, Pensacola.

@Ally- hah, never thought about spring break syndrome. Good to know.


Still excited!

Yay! I'm happy for another East Coast player. Usually everyone wakes up when I'm falling asleep.

Doug!

I remember I was really into that story you posted on DeviantArt a while ago, forgot all about it...

I'll look into your novels definitely

I haven't been on Teregotha for a while, killed off most of my chars a while ago, including Will.. I do know Xiana is still alive but not there anymore

I'll be updating my blog and Facebook page semi - regularly. I can't post excerpts anymore because I discovered that it disqualifies me from some contests, but that's more motivation for me to get "on the stick" as they say. I might start doing some short stories as character development exercises that I can post up.

I'm still amazed Xiana woke up

A stocky brute with a pale white long ponytail passes out from the pain.

It's cool when stuff starts to come together, even if it's rife with bugs and minor issues still.

Speaking of travelling. In a month my husband and I are flying to London. I am soooo excited about that! I'm definitely going to see King's Cross Station. I am also looking forward to hearing Cockney.
