Recently entered *gabbyd70 's the 5 Themes Contest, and my deviation Lollipop Candy Shop [link] was an honorable mention! I felt pretty pumped after that.

Computer finally became such a problem, so full was it of spam and viruses, that it is now in the shop. I am using my Mac to go on the net now, but it's also a total piece of crap and only actually succeeds in connecting 1/8 of the times I have tried. It always has problems "Authenticating". Still, I am hoping that by going online, even if only briefly, I can manage not to get swamped by too many unopened messages and the like when I finally get my PC back, which could be in as much as 2 weeks.

As a side note, Three Days Grace, one of my favorite bands of all time and also one of the 5 bands in the world I would sell my soul to see, is coming to Montreal. I believe they are coming on the 24th of December , which might be tough for me, but I'll be there even if I need to sell a kidney for cab fare and tickets!

2nd novel is coming along nicely. It's a total time hog, writing a novel, because the sheer volume of hours you must first put into writing and then re-writing and editing is mind-boggling. Still, I'm having fun writing it, and that's all that matters.
