I wish BBB wasn't being such a bitch :\
on the + side, I've gotten snippets of a couple different origfics started for a few different universes, some I didn't expect. I'm not trying to finish anything, just writing whatever I come up with instead of obsessing over it forever until I don't feel like writing it anymore. I might share some, might not. I'm trying to hone my craft~, y'know. People tell me they like my writing, but I always feel like it's a mess or simplistic or something. I feel like it should be better, but I don't know what I can do to fix it. Writing more just makes me write more, it doesn't change how I write. Oh well, we'll see
the big - is that I found a PAID editorial internship at a publishing company in my area AND I just so happened to have an in with one of the VPs of the company (his daughter was in my sister's girl scout troupe, he and my dad are casual buddies) so I applied and then sent him my resume with a ":) :) halp :)" and he said I looked v. qualified and like I'd fit in well, and that he'd pass me on to the right people...and then e-mailed me again to let me know that he found out they weren't going to be hiring an intern because of the recession. of course, when something is perfect for me, it falls through. (the zoo doesn't want me either, btw) :(

But... yes. It is the suck pretty much. JP what should we doooo? We need internships!
I'm so sorry your possible internship fell through. You seem to be having shit luck lately. (Except for Rent tickets for le cheap!)
Why is the internship god taking big smelly dumps all over us?

I don't knowww Haitlin-san, I was hoping the Rent tickets were my sign that stuff was going to start working out, but. Alas :(
They hate us. I'm trying to believe that they just have extra super special internships that they're just holding onto until the last minute to surprise us, but I don't want to be disappointed again
