Syntium – The Blog

Current mood:  Sleepy and creative

This is a Packard Bell dot S. On this (well not particularly on the one on the pic, but mine) is where all the magic happens.

I am writing on a very interesting idea at the moment, that takes place in my hometown. They say that you should write about what you know, so.. But it’s kind of special, I don’t want to give away too much details, but it is a sort of an unusual concept, you know. My hometown + the idea. I’m not sure if I have written about it before here. I’m sure that I’ve mentioned it, but I don’t remember what I’ve written.

Aanyway.. It is very comfortable to write with, makes writing more fun somehow. And without the constant pressure of checking e-mails every five second and so on, means that I can focus a lot better. I do however have msn messenger running in case D shows up. Chatting with him doesn’t feel like a distraction. And I can always send chapters and stories his way for him to read =) He pretty much hates reading, but I am forcing him to read anyway ^^.

With that said, I’m off to create some more magic!

Current mood: Satisified

Trying out a new theme Again. It’s not that I was bored with the last one, it just had some minor flaws. This one is called ‘nona’, and I think it’s very good looking (of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have chosen it). Let’s hope this is the end of theme searching and that I don’t find a flaw that disturbs me too much.. For a loong while at least!

I’ve promised a pic of my new netbook, and maybe that will come, but let me just say I am very pleased with it. Yesterday, I pretty much wrote all day! It’s very comfortable to write with, I must say.

Last Monday I went to the dietitian and got my final approval for the gastric bypass. I felt relieved of course, but at the same time it felt a bit anti-climactic. Maybe because I had prepared for her to say no and had all of these arguments in my head about why I should get the surgery, it was like when I met with the surgeon, it just felt as if it went ‘too easy’. Probably of all this energy I had built up, and never got to use. So now all I have to do is wait. She said it would probably take about 2-3 months before I got my surgery.

It’s all so strange, I can’t really wrap my brain around the fact that this is for life, and that I have to make a lot of changes and sacrifices. But at the same time.. It’s not like I have a choice in the matter. I have to do this surgery or I’ll keep gaining weight until my back breaks in two.

Ok, let’s try this theme out with a new entry! ^^

‘If I only could
I’d make a deal with God
And I’d get him to swap our places’

Current mood: Unbalanced

I’m going to buy a new computer. A netbook. To use as a typewriter, basically. I want to write, a lot, but I can’t concentrate as much as I want to when sitting by my ‘big’ computer. There’s chatting, e-mails to check, music that plays and of course World of warcraft.
So I was thinking, maybe I’d get more writing done if I sit elswhere in the apartment, and definitely not install Skype and suchlike. Just Openoffice will do. Hopefully I will find the discipline to write that way.

Of course, there’s always a chance that the novelty wears off, and I will be stuck in front of this computer anyway. But I’m figuring that, I should do whatever it takes if it gets my writing going. I think of the netbook as an investment, for a future career as a writer.

I have started, in my opinion, an interesting story.. But it is in Swedish, maybe I’ll translate it when it’s done (whenever that will be). I have no idea where it is going, but that’s kind of fun as well, it’s like an adventure. It was a long time since a wrote a story in Swedish, hard to ‘reprogram’ yourself sometimes. But it’s fun. I just noticed that it took a lot more work to concentrate when writing in Swedish, and it was easier to drift off to chatting with someone or playing something.

I will return with a picture of the new wonder tomorrow maybe.

Current mood: Flowy

Oh, Lord.. First blog entry for 2010, and I feel the pressure of coming up with something interesting. I have a cold, if you think that is something worth knowing ;)

Ok, now I have come up with something sort of interesting to write. I’m in a flow again, which means that I have, since yesterday, written about..*counts* eight pages of the ‘Ghosts of the past and present’- Flying doctors fan fic. And that feels really awesome!

Yeah, it’s great and all to have written that much in such a short time, but there’s a flipside to everything.. I’m concerned that the story progress too fast (or sometimes too slow) if it’s  believeable and so on and so forth. Currently I am waiting for D to come online, so that he can read the chapters and give some input.

Speaking of D, we had a wonderful time when he was here. I didn’t want him to leave. We played through (or rather, D played through, I watched) Silent Hill 2: Director’s cut. I had started a game on the easiest level, so D thought it a bit too easy. But it is a haunting atmosphere in those games. We (D) played a litttle Silent Hill 4: The room, and that game contains one of the most beautiful songs  I’ve ever heard: Room of Angel. I’ll add it to this blog post.

Hmm, anything else? Nope, don’t think so.
