Not a bad day really.

As of yesterday, I finally have all of my university work out of the way and will never have to do another assignment like that for the rest of my life. I came up short on the word count, and I'm just kind of hoping that the way I spaced it out means that nobody will notice because I swear I could not have written any more even if I had sat there all night staring at it. If the worst comes to the worst, I'll be told off for it, but to be honest I've put things in that have been too short before and no one has ever bothered with it. I don't even really care anymore, I just wanted to get it over with. It's a pity, really, that writing has always been a passion of mine and yet I have almost entirely lost interest in writing for myself, with my own characters, though I still love to write fanfics. Maybe now that I'm not feeling as if that kind of writing is something that I SHOULD be doing, I might get back my desire to do it. I might post it up here if I can get the nerve to do so.

Despite the lack of sleep that I had because of - as usual - my procrastination, I woke up in a pretty good mood and went to drop my work off, then I went into Manchester with my sister. We've been saying for a while that we were going to go to a place called Appyfeet, and we finally went. There's nothing quite so weird as the feeling of your feet being nibbled on by a few dozen tiny fish. Yes, tiny fish. It's a very strange sensation, almost like having pins and needles, and they nibble all the dead skin off your feet.

After that I allowed her to drag me around shopping. I don't shop. I hate to shop. However I did manage to get her to buy me some shoes. Win.

There was going to be more to this entry, but now I'm tired, so I might post with something more interesting tomorrow. Also will finally get to work on all those prompts. Ohyes. The meme is still open, letters that have already been filled can be filled again. Just saying.

I've been pondering about going to that fishy place, did your feet feel really nice after?

If it's printed, I doubt anyone will notice the word count being a little low. That's more of a guideline than a rule, anyway.

I think that fanfiction is appealing to writers because there is a set character that you can use and do whatever you want with. Your own characters have a lot more to them you have to address and manipulate... Just a thought. It's been a while since I wrote and completed something with my babies, too. /n\

Tiny fish eating dead skin off your feet.
Interesting.
I'd check that out something, but I'm so ticklish it's criminal. orz _{My poor feet are in such a state, though, because I hate wearing shoes and socks. They're rough and cracked and permanently discoloured because of all the blacktop/asphalt I walk on, I think.}
