    Possibly. Right now it's just over 2,000 words. I'm having my students write a 5,000 word short story this week, and I'm trying to keep pace with them. Obviously, my end is going to be a lot longer than 5,000 words.

    I will probably post some snippets in the MUG, and I could potentially PM parts of it to individuals. Feedback is always useful :). I do want to sell it eventually, so I probably won't post it in public areas (that counts as "published", so you lose First Rights -- it's not a matter of me being worried about people stealing ideas).

    I will be interested in reading your work Vorona :). I've been very busy lately with a new full-time job and some personal stuff that has kept me without any free time. But I do intend to spend more time with SP when I get a chance. I always enjoy your posts Vorona. I also enjoy the rest of my friends here :).

    My first random babble: Dice, is your name an allusion to P&P D&D? Or are you simply a Yahtzee fanatic? ;)

    You must have a lot of oil that needs filtering. Obviously. ;)

    Do you get a burning smell from your car when driving it? Maybe the delivery guy is trying to tell you something :p.

    I work in a warehouse for car parts. The car importers order part in Japan. In the container there is always one box containing 297 filters, never 300. It is sealed in packages of 10, meaning 7 filters are shipped single.

    In the warehouse itself we have over a 1500 filters on the shelve containing this part.

    Again, with swearing, why 297 and not 300?

    Tomorrow, a container will arrive, with one crate....

    You can get car parts from Japan at wholesale (so I presume, cheap) prices? Hm... I know where to go then if I get any issues with my Honda Civic Type R :D.

    I can't believe I forgot to post this here:

    Despite all the drama surrounding who's coming back next year: I have a job next year! According to the current schedule (which will probably change), I'm teaching:
    Nothing 1st period (7:15-8:00)
    Classical Literature, British Literature, and American Literature
    Creative Writing (yay!)
    French I - with only 2 students (yay!)

    I have planning/free periods 1st period (yay!), 3rd period, and 6th period (right after lunch: yay! long lunch).

    I don't have to teach Theatre or 8th grade literacy. I like these students the most, but they were also the hardest to teach and the most stressful, particularly the 8th grade class (I didn't even know what book I'd be teaching, and find out the day I was going to start teaching something that either they didn't have the books or I was supposed to teach something else: trust me, you NEVER want to teach Utopia to 8th graders!)

    Overall, I'm pretty happy about this.

    Mr. MermaID. :p I can tell about the coolness. The name's very fitting! :)

    Plus milfs are just da bomb.

    In other news, last night was the first time in a few months that I slept through from 12 till 6 (usually I wake up at least 2 or 3 times in that period). I feel fantastic! :D Sucks I've still gotta revise for my finals...

    I always figured that about your name, especially with your quote, Dice.

    Good luck on your finals, Mr. Mermaid, and yay on the sleep! I've been getting good sleep this week, too. Makes everything so much easier.

    New people! Wow!

    It's been quite a while since my last post, it seems. Well, I'm living in Japan now, teaching English and being idolized by high school students, which is pretty sweet.

    Umm, not much else to add. I'll show myself out. Nice to see this place is still around.
