Updates!

THE PROJECT UPDATES

 

Its been a while hasn't it? Sorry about that. I've been immensly busy for a couple of years. In addition, I've been struggling with my health so I haven't had enough energy to actively work on my Project. However, my studies are almost over now. I've also gotten great deal of inspiration from my BF and have realized that even though there are great aspects about the script, it also really isn't anything new. Therefore, I will overhaul the lore (again!) and start almost from scratch. The characters and the basic idea will remain though. Nothing wrong with that. But the physiology of the characters, the level of actual science used will be overhauled. The story will become more scientific and less mythical. The overhaul will take some time for sure but I have a wonderful person on my side whose immense knowledge of physics I can utlilize freely <3

REAL-LIFE UPDATES

• Ditched the Japanese dude in the beginning of 2015 because he was weak both mentally and physically. I have no time for little bitches just loitering around or/and with inability to talk about stuff! Shoo! What a waste of time...
• Found The One six months later. He is all I need in a man; kind but determined. Able to talk about stuff and makes me believe in myself. And he is Finnish, so no language-barrier or cultural mess.
• I don't think I want kids after all. The more I read about what pregnancy does to your body, the less I want to go through it. I'm not certain of course, but whatever I decide, my BF is fine with it. We can be perfectly happy without kids.
• Not actively studying Japanese. Intermediate level will suffice for now.
• Got asthma diagnosis in the winter 2015-2016 and also has occasional anxiety attacks.
• Still doing kendo. Now a 3rd kyû.

Slowly but surely, onwards to madness!

Its been awhile... but I'm still alive and very much kicking!

THE PROJECT-UPDATES

• Been terribly busy due to studies and hasn't really written anything. However, also has developed a tendency to ponder ideas on free moments. While sitting on toilet, showering or waiting to meet someone, plot is always bubbling under. Notebook is also always in the bag, just in case.
• Also, decided to model another character after a celebrity after the character turned out to be more important than anticipated.

REAL-LIFE UPDATES

• Has actually started to enjoy the Business Administrator-studies despite awfully tiresome autumn semester. Will specialize in Private Law, starting next spring.
• In a relationship with frighteningly nice and stable Japanese man with very similar future desires and values. Has previously unknown, scary feelings.
• Conversational Japanese still non-existent, despite of ongoing studies and BF.
• In addition to Gackt the whole Dir En Grey is pretty goddamn awesome.
• Went to see a cool band alone in another city despite lurking anxiety.
• Started kendô in the beginning of 2014 and now has 5th kyû.

Midnight Ideas and New Schools

THE PROJECT UPDATES:

• After pondering how things should logically develop, gets an idea middle of the night. Jumps out of bed, writes it down to a notebook and on the next day it still makes sense. Yayy! Chapter 4 is moving forward.
•  Complex, complex characters...I'm so screwed with handling all of them and trying not to neglect anyone.

REAL-LIFE UPDATES:

• Hit an intermediate plateau with Japanese and almost burned out. Reduced the hard grinding work to a minimum, since doesn't want to start hating the language. Now only does some little Anki reviews and does whatever pleases, no matter the language, without feeling guilty of not using more Japanese material. 
•  Thinks that Gackt is still the coolest man on Earth, for more than just one reason.
• Got into a school and also has the Employment Agency's support. Yay.
• Had some antibiotics (by an absolutely handsome doctor) for the mystery illness, feels better but still has lungs and nose full of slime and a funky feel in throat. Oh well.
• Speaks Japanese every week on Skype and still sucks. Argh!!
• Aims to go to Japan after the school, because...I want to see if the place has something to offer to me, whatever that is. Joensuu has not, and I'm fed up with Finland's social issues and idiotic politicians. I want to live in another country, so I can complain about its issues and politicians for a change.
• Has developed a biological need to have kids someday. Damn you biological clock! Oh well, if I don't have a father-candidate when I hit 35, I'll just go to sperm bank and pick someone. Or just make a deal with someone suitable off the record. I'd do my damnest to be a good mother.
• Sure, I'd rather love to start a family with someone, but no suitable one has come my way yet. Only men with faaaaar too many mental problems. I have enough of those already, thank you. I don't need extra ones. I also don't really see my luck changing on this field so...sperm bank and single-parenting it most likely is. Bad llama!
