Me, as of 30th of Novemberposted Nov 30th 2009, 3:52AM

Firstly, My Nanowrimo novel was finished this morning at a writein. I have written 64,100 words for my story When The Dust Settled. It contains zombies, acypolpse causing dust storms, demons, serial killers, a robotic pet raptor and ninja pirates. I will edit it during January once I finish writing my Xmas special. I would like to extend thanks to all those who made suggestions, supported me, and wrote with me over the last month. I think Nano will be the highlight of the year- as I've actually met people- IN THE REAL WORLD through it, and that's something that's rather amazing. There's an after party coming up on the 6th, and I'm going. You can't stop me
Busy times ahead. Apart from the aformentioned afterparty, there's also the small matter of my sister's wedding AND a work christmas party taking place in the same weekend, the work party on the Friday and the wedding of my sister happening on Dec 13. There is some minor drama relating to that, as my parents are expecting me to give a substancial amount of money, around the $300 (275 USD, 166 GBP) mark. Sometimes I wonder what planet my parents live on, I'm a single guy who has to maintain his OWN place, and they're expecting me to give more money than couples who've been working full time for years. Yes, she is my sister and I have savings, but I have a lot of expenses right now, surprise surprise, not to mention the suit hire.
I tried out a boxing class today, in some place in a VERY ricketty buliding. You know those old warehouses that you see in movies with the exposed floorboards and whatnot? Yeah, that's how the place I went to looked. The price they wanted was a little high and the quality of the teaching wasn't the best, so I'm gonna keep looking something else. I need to lose weight now, it's a bit of a piroity and I am not sure what to turn to now, everything's expensive and when I'm back doing shiftwork, it really will not work out. So yeah.
I'm okay, but wished I had a more stable job/income. Things might be getting harder soon, otherwise okay. At the moment I'm busy, so I'm not on the net much.
