Procrastination central
Hi again, long-ish time no post. Here’s today’s (kinda) anthology of random bullshit writing.
Writing about writing
Anyways, about writing. I originally started this blog so I could get back into writing stuff/writing ANYTHING. I’ve always struggled with writing throughout high school because I write very directly and I don’t know how to use flowery language or add a bunch of writing fluff. If you told me to write a paragraph then I would write “a paragraph”.
I have a 3500 word paper due in about two weeks and I’m only about 800 words in. I’m finding it hard to get into the flow of writing my paper because I just keep jumping back and forth in the same paragraph trying to iron things out as I’m writing it. So I’m trying to warm up by writing about writing in the form of a blog post. Like just writing anything that comes to mind and not looking back.
Beer o’ clock!
Yesterday I went to a bar with classmates after class. It was like a 20 minute walk from our campus building but it was pretty worth it. For context, Sydney CBD is very hilly, and once you get around to the Chippendale-Surry Hills-Redfern kind of area, the streets get really small and dense. I would say it’s “walkable” in the same way walking from NSW to WA is “walkable” — which is to say, it is a pretty unpleasant walk. The walk back to the closest station at 8pm probably didn’t feel as scary as it should have. I honestly think the scariest part of it was walking uphill past properties you’ll never get to own. Totally worth it though, had a blast! Great being around the coolest most talented people I’ve ever met for a couple of drinks. Felt like I was very much a part of this little community. How sweet. Lemon lime bitters was yummy because it reminded me of pickled lemons. Had a sticky date pudding which was pretty good as well. VERY SWEET. I didn’t expect it to be so sweet. I had never had a sticky date pudding before either.
Komments
Regarding comments; because of the limitations of Komments I’m unable to reply in a way that matters. Usually this just leads me to “replying” to comments by making another comment (which I am unsure the original commenter will even be able to see). So annoying! I will bear with it. Komments lacking an actual log-in page also pisses me off but I can still access it in some (STUPID) way.
Calling this a day for a blog post because I have to go back to writing my three million word essay. Any thoughts? Let me know here!
