My heart’s bleeding. I’ve just read through this thread and as that Swede pointed out, it’s really weird to think that I know some things about English better than the native speakers. Someone said they felt sorry for the non-native speakers because the language is so hard, and I was like ‘I really thought these things were so clear to everyone.’ I don’t think I’d used any of the words in the wrong way; that is, I know the distinction between all the similar words mentioned in that thread. I’m not saying I don’t make mistakes, but in those cases I’m sure they’d've been completely accidental typos, if made at all.

Oh damn. All my life I’ve been wishing I was a native English speaker and they just keep shattering my world like this.

well I always thought updating every 4 months is quite alright

but of course I’ve had nothing to write about since I haven’t been writing anything except blog posts and frustrating Finnish papers and… that’s pretty much it. I finished SF quite neatly, but since then nothing. Wasn’t a surprise, though. I’ve been watching a lot of tv instead :D

This time last year I remember being quite excited about the upcoming NaNoWriMo, now I’m most of the time horrified about the matriculation exams that are only a few weeks away. I’ve had some ideas about NaNo’08, but I’m not at all sure yet what I’m going to write.

I’m strangely intrigued by Yuletide challenge. I’m not sure whether I’m up to it – fanfic has never been one of my strong fields, I feel like poking my nose somewhere it shouldn’t be when I’m even thinking about writing something about characters that aren’t my own, no matter how much I love them. But if I know myself at all, I’ll find myself signed up for that thing too. After all, I never believed I’d win NaNoWriMo when I signed up for that.
