Hi people,
This is just a quick hello to let you know that I haven't actually dropped off the face of the planet, despite appearances to the contrary. Thanks to kudorox for giving me a little poke!
Yes, I've now heard from most of my Japanese friends. In fact, one of them is staying with me right now! She's leaving on Friday. I don't want her to go.
I still haven't heard from the couple in Mito, but my guest heard from a mutual friend of ours who heard from one of her friends that they are okay.
Justice chapter 14 is in fact finished, but needs a bit of tweaking. I'll probably get it up this weekend. Another thing that's delaying me is that I'm trying to think of questions for a survey of my readers that I am creating. I was hoping to get it finished and then tack it on to the end of the chapter. Or maybe I should post it separately. I'm fully expecting delays as a result of technical problems with codes, etc.
Today we had an Open House at my place of work. I was the Queen of the Sandwich Brigade (because I am awesome at making great sandwiches and bossing teams of volunteers around). I'm still pissed off that I made myself a nice little care package of leftover sandwiches and samosas after it was all over... and left it there! All that came home with me was a bag of raw vegetables. :(
Finally, I checked my spam today and saw that gmail had helpfully routed an email entitled 'Stud-O-Rama' into my spam box. A reckless part of me is toying with the idea of clicking on it. However, I probably won't. I'm mortally afraid of viruses, so I almost never click on spam. Besides, what if it releases a torrent of stud-type images that take over my computer screen and get me in trouble with my husband? It ain't gonna be horses, that's for sure.
Classes have claimed my social times, my sleep times, and generally anytime I keep transforming into a zombie.
Heh, I've done that- make a nice little bundle of stuff and whoops, I forgot it. Hope it won't be rotting or thrown out or whatever when you go to get it? ...I guess that depends on where you'd left it.
I'd look to see if it's a bunch of random words with spaces randomly placed, or actual words.
I had some other thought to add here, but my brain spaced out in the middle of typing. Time to go back to bed...
Have your professors and classmates noticed yet that there's now a zombie in their midst? It'll probably be okay as long as you don't try to eat anyone's brain. Good luck with getting some sleep!
But all we wanna do is eat your brain!
(My favorite is "I Crush Everything")
I too have become a psuedo-zombie between classes, projects, homework, and the play I'm in. There is only a month left of classes and then I'm free for a few months! But that also means that everything is due right about now. ick
I can't wait to see the next chapter, but I might have to go re-read chapter 13 just to get back on track.
Good idea not to open the tempting emails. I work on a mac so I don't have to worry about the viruses, but I still don't click on them. (THere's only about 1 virus for Mac and you have to agree to download it about four times. :P)

I just can't imagine the bouncy, hyper, sugar-fueled Neengy I know staggering around like a zombie!
I shall see the next chapter as a welcomed and much needed study break!
I'll try to get some sleep this weekend!

Don't worry about the time thing; the attention ho in me loves surveys. ^.^
The feeling one gets when one thingks that one has a treat for dinner, and then finds out that the treat is non-existant (or at least non-accessible) is my definition of tragedy! I hope you didn't starve, with nothing but a bag of raw veggies to tide you over!
Stud-O-Rama, hmm? Yes, I'm sure that it found its way into your spam folder TOTALLY BY ACCIDENT, right? ;)
Good, at least I know one person will take part in my survey. I love surveys too. Whenever we get an 800 number call from a company asking if I'll participate in a survey, I always say yes, much to my husband's disgust. But feedback makes the world go round!
Nope, I didn't starve. Actually, I had been such a pig at the party that it did me no harm to do without dinner. I was mainly upset because that little care package was supposed to be my ticket out of cooking dinner at the end of a long and tiring day.
Uh... regarding all things 'stud', I plead the fifth!
And you'll have two people to participate in your survey--I love surveys too. I remember when I was a kid I took part in this product trial for Gogurt. Do you remember that yogurt-in-a-tube stuff? It's still on the shelves here in California, but advertising has all but disappeared. Anyway, I received $50 to sit at a table and talk about which flavor I liked the best.
Yes, surveys and such are awesome!
I've done that too! Gotten paid to sit at a table and talk about products. Alas, no one will be paid to take part in Brit's survey. But it's good to know that I have at least two takers so far.
My survey is still a WIP. So far I've written 18 questions, mostly multiple choice, and then sent them off to friends, who will hopefully point out redundancies and offer me suggestions for better survey questions. Eighteen questions may be too many, as well.
