We decided on "Sneezers Inc." since our last name sounds like one. xD

I have my working outline done... and the bibliography and title page done. Now all I need to do is write the paper. o.o!

Isn't the paper the main part? XD

Not for me. XD The working outline is. Once I know exactly how I'm putting the paper together, it doesn't take me long at all.

My friend Amy is like that. She'll do a general outline, and then a more detailed oultine, and then an even more detailed outline, spending hours of time. And then she writes the paper in like ten minutes. <<,,

That's about how I roll on papers like this. On my Peace Psychology ones, though, I tend to be like, "Oh, here's a source *add* and there's a source *add*" and do it that way, taking a couple hours.

But when I have specific instructions, I tend to do outlines and stuff to avoid confusion, but more so to be sure I get everything the instructor wants in there. xD

Three outlines? o.O What's the point of writing the paper by that point?

It makes sense. ^-^

I'm not much of an outline person myself. I've been thinking about trying to use them more though. It might help keep me from doing so much editing.

We were dicussing in class how people who do a lot of outlines, the outlines tend to be their drafts an their first paper their final or almost final, whereas people who don't tend to go through a lot more drafts of the full paper.

Oh, who knows. XD I'm just writing to get it done at this point.

But once it's done you can edit it! ^-^ Yay!

How much more do you have to go?

Five pages. I was in the other room. Cole wanted me to marvel at his cleaning skills. It looks really good. o.o!

<<,, Isn't the paper supposed to be five pages long? XD <3

You know, this is dangerous for him. He's proving to you that he has cleaning skills. Soon, you're going to expect him to use these skills throughout the year.

Mm. So what are you getting me for your birthday?

Indeed it is. >> Dangerous, I mean. He also made me dinner and cake. He's got skillz!

Oh, I dunno. Food and gaming I suppose. >>

Ooh. Awesome. ^-^

I was thinking I might just get you some good health. Would that be enough, or should I add in financial independence?

My mother just called. Some days I think my overall lack of tolerance (in the past year) for a lot of her behavior has made her hesitant to come to me for a lot of stuff. ;_;

Like her calling to wish me a happy birthday, she was all, "I know you're doing a paper, so I won't keep you... not that I'd do that anyway... but I know you're busy... I just wanted to say that I love you" and stuff like that.

I dunno how I feel about that. I'll classify it as "sad" for now. Like now how she's afraid I won't let her near my firstborn due to how corrupted Kellen is. While it's not like I'd hold my child arms' length away from her, I definitely wouldn't dump it on her every day of the week. I wouldn't dare, and I don't think I'm wrong for saying I'm skeptical. :[ Grandparents were initially put in the position of spoiling the child on rare occasion. They shouldn't have to raise the child wholly, just love it.

That said, no, I wouldn't want it with her as much or more than me. It's too dangerous. (Man, I'm horrible.)

Anyway...

No on the financial independence. I'm there already. Instead go for "let money land in her lap so she can get out of debt".

The independence was worth the loan, though, rest assured.

That is kind of sad...

I think things will get better. x.x It'll just take some time.

Speaking of your birthday, I thought there was no way you were going to do homework on your birthday.

I had thought of that, but then had no problem putzing around for the three or four days leading up to it. I've no ill feelings though. I don't feel "cheated". I really enjoyed watching movies and playing games with Cole. And, above all, the clean apartment. That means so much to me. <3

I do think things will get better. They're a lot better than they were three years ago. I think once the baby is here, alive and well, and a routine gets established, all will be well.

If it's a good baby and is willing to snuggle and pay attention to my grandmother, I'm sure they'll want it at the office while I'm in between classes. And, as I'll be going down to four classes when it's born, that shouldn't be too much of a disturbance. I'm crossing my fingers though.

I'd rather it around family than a daycare, but I'm looking into the daycare on campus as soon as I'm pregnant. There will be a stable plan that keeps the child's best interests at hand, regardless. Failing as a mother will be the last thing I do. I'll lose everything else first. (That sounds like some detrimental and creepy foreshadowing, like I lose all my friends and family, the Internet, flunk out of school, etc., but the kid remains unharmed so long as its parents are stable. XD)

And no, I don't foresee things EVER getting bad. >>;

No badness allowed. x.x I'm serious on this. That's my birthday present to you.

Okay, I need to take some pictures. I'll be back.

Edit: And I'm back. XD

I'll show you the pictures in a moment. I'm uploading them.

Mene died while you were gone, but I think the programmers did a little CPR or something. xD

Whee, one and a half pages left. <3

I'll sell you a lunar staff for 100g. Sending trade! <3

XD I totally thought you meant to the thread, and I was confused. I was like, "One and a half pages left until what?"

It's funny that it was fine when I left and fine when I got back, even though I was gone for less than twenty minutes.

Next post shall show Real Life Katie! o.o

*slips in, clings to Chi*

@Maracia
I sent the trade. Thank you. <3

@Cami
*awaits anxiously*
And... one page left. >>;;

@Tenshi
Hi. How was Amt? XD

One page left?

It was okay. It was.. a pretty weird event. ...Usually people wait to get totaly smashed until Saturday night, but it was allready well in progress when I got there. And... it felt weird. ....And it kinda WAS weird.

Soo.. how's your weekend been? And your today!!

These are the ones I took straight from the TOC. When I'm done with these, I want to do some more fun ones (especially the stove on fire one XD). My roommate wasn't real happy about helping me take pictures though, so I wanted to get through it as quickly as possible. <<,,

@Tenshi
Yeah. I'm doing a midterm paper for my class. xD <3
My birthday's been great if nothing more than for Cole cleaning the apartment. It just feels better in here. He's awesome. ;-;

EDIT:

LMMFAO. Katie should look a lot unhappier on the landlord and ESPECIALLY the "no money" picture. The latter one made me laaaaaaugh.
