That's a cynical thing to say. Really I've just come to think of myself as aromantic.

Not really... I meant as in, if you were just in it for the schoarships and grants, when it ended you would have to put in for a divorce, and change your name on every legal document. It's really, really a pain if you have never done that. I suppose the way around it would be to not change your name though...
aromantic.... sure. I mean, if I didn't have kids and wasn't married I'd be the same way... >.> but... nope... i don't know if that is fortunate or unfortunate sometimes XD but that's just because i like to engage in irresponsible behaviors :P

I'm sure a lot of people don't change their name. Sounds like a huge hassle.
I don't want kids. I could suffer with being an aunt and sometimes helping out, but that's it. I don't think I could do that marriage thing even if I wanted to.

I'm glad to see the hole in the wall again!
How dare people keep fixing it
Anyway...to keep on topic...I kind of wish I were less romantic, that way I would be less disappointed with the lack of romantic love in my life.

But I kinda wish I were romantic. I'll never marry and get to rely on someone so me with my useless art degree will have to support myself!
lol. Hey ling. Long time no chat.

Hey Kat! It has been a while. I haven't been active lately.
I think being romantic by nature without even a love to pursue is the kind of disappointment I feel at present. One of my friends even asked me why I never mentioned romantic love in my own life and I laughed because it's not because I don't want to find love but that I want to find the right one to settle down with.
Have you ever liked anyone in a romantic way Kat? If that's too personal, you don't have to answer.

Been busy?
You're in the same sort of place my best friend is at. It really eats at her, so I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure being patient for the right one will pay off in the end though.
I don't mind and no. I'm 23 so I know there's still time for my life to change, but I think if I've gotten through high school and college without so much as a crush, it means something. I can't wrap my head around being in a relationship at all, but I write almost exclusively love stories. I'm a romantic, but like, only for the fiction world.

I have been busy at times...but I think I have also spent my procrastinating online time doing other things. Also, I went to Melbourne for a day and Sydney for a short holiday since we last chat here. I hadn't been on a plane in years prior to this year, yet this year I've been on many flights this year.
I have a friend who like you has never had a crush. My friend uses 'asexual' to describe himself. It's true though, you are still young and things may change. It is interesting that you write love stories though.
Anyway, I'm gonna have dinner now. Chat later.

Kat, I know the feeling. I'm going on almost 26, and I thought I was in love with my now ex boyfriend, but I know it wasn't really love. It was more just a crush. I don't really know. But really other than that, nothing really. Sure I've had crushes, but nothing more than that honestly. And everyone else around me - mostly - are in relationships and in love, and I'm always the odd one out. :/ But I am a romantic at heart.
I too am a romantic with my writing.

I sorta use demi-romantic and sexual for myself. It's the grey area between sexual and asexual. Leaves some openess for possibility. Demi people do not feel the emotion or desire often, maybe only once or twice in their life and are dormant otherwise.
sounds like a fun little trip though. I haven't flown in a year now. For school I used to fly quite a bit, but I haven't since I finished.
Maybe you just haven't found love yet, Cloud. Seems like you do want it.
romantic writing is way too fun!! :D

Yeah - I guess I'm just sick of other people flaunting what they have in my face - time and time again.
It just makes me feel even more alone. :/
Meh.
But it really is - I tend to write characters that love taking over and doing things that throw other characters into panic attacks as things happen out of order.  Oops! Haha! I had a character propose to his girlfriend, let's just say it took about 10k words to talk her down and calm her down enough to say yes.

Haha. My characters are the ones that tend to flail. Flailing is fun.

It's funny when characters reacts not quite according to plan and that means having to deal with their reactions... 
Keeps writing interesting.

Plans? What are plans?  My characters don't do things that work with plans well. Well...neither do I.

Haha, that's a good point - I rarely plan as things go way way from plans whenever I do make them, so what's the point in planning in the first place.  My characters see plans and run screaming in the other direction.

Writing is such a natural process that grows best when you don't try to force it to stay in the lines. Just set it on a path, give direction, and let it go!

Yeah - I learned that NaNoWriMo 2012, when I managed to write 108k words in 30 days!  Totally without any planning. My fellow region-mates that I was writing with started calling me a writing robot.
That was the story that still hasn't been edited -as I'm terrified of delving into that - as it was all written speed of thought, for the most part so most of it probably doesn't make sense, and that I had to write 10k words just to get a character to sort out her thoughts on how fast things were happening. :P

ooh that's a giant word count! I've never written more than 52k, but I want to challenge myself more. This year I want a bigger goal since I have no life. It's only fair.

Yeah, it did take me 10k to get to the plot that I liked, so it did go down to 98k as soon as November was done, but that still is an insane word count. My poor hands were hating me.
52k is still an impressive amount! :]
Sadly I have to skip this year! :( My classes are beating me up this year.  Stupid school. :/ Yet another reason I'm not a fan of school... Ugh. :(

I don't know how you did it. I can't amble that much. I do follow my plot pretty clearly, but I write easily. I've been writing every day for years now and the last year, I average a 1k daily count. It's natural to me. That's why I need to challenge myself for nano otherwise I'm doing the same as always.
Booo. so sad. I always managed well during school, but I was an art and writing student. Writing didn't really get in my way.

I don't know how I did it either - that's a question that I've been asking myself for quite awhile now.
I wish that I wrote every day - school takes over my life, and I can't focus on my free writing as much as I would like to.
I'm a Deaf Cultural Studies student... and with having to take 5 classes instead of my usual 4 that I normally take - and all of the group projects and papers and reading and writing for classes. :/ The only downside to taking classes that have to do with a VERY visual only language, is that presentations are needed... In order to get info across, as much as I don't like them - so that pretty much every single one of my classes has a group presentation. Or massive paper or project.
I just don't have time to fit it in.  Makes me really sad! T_T Stupid school... ugh! :/
I really was looking forward to getting to winning for my fourth year in a row.

I used to not be able to write every day. It was a matter of determination and conditioning myself to do it. But I guess my life has always been pretty easy.
Sounds dreadful. I don't miss school at all (except I sorta do). I'm glad I never had to do things like that. I hate writing papers sooo much. Sounds like an interesting study though.

Heya Hums!! How're you?
Kat: I think that non-language majors have it easier than those who are taking a language other than English, but that's just me. I think/dream/communicate on a daily basis in Sign Language, so it's become a second language to me - but it's still so complicated.
I've been in school for 8 years (this is my 8th year, for a stupid 4 year degree that I have no idea what I will even do with. :/)
