The Commune Part XIIPart of me hopes that everyone that leaves the direct sphere of influence of the commune spreads a little of us to the world.  
 
Perhaps there are communes springing up around the country; started by one of our members. Everyone should have a commune. Just as everyone should have a giant stuffed toy.   
It's sad that so many have left the roost and gone on to other pastures. But no one ever really leaves the commune, I think. As long as we have a place where two or more members meet on Saturday nights, there will always be a commune. The Commune Part XII

The Commune Part XIBeing alone in a house you share with two other people is a little bit strange. But it's a good opportunity to throw my music on full volume and dance.   
The really strange bit is when they come back after a couple of days, and I have to remember how to talk to people again.  
 
The commune in general has been quite quiet of late, and there have only been a few of us around for our communal feeding events.   
Still, the commune stretches far and wide, and when there are more of us, great times are had by all. The Commune Part XI

The Commune Part XCommunal living isn't all fun and games, especially when you're a bit lazy.   
The cupboard under the sink is a terrifying place that we have not visited for some time. We should probably clear it out before it starts to develop its own ecosystem.   
Though it's possibly not as bad as the fridge; I've thrown out pots and jars with sell-by dates measured by ice age. And then there's the disturbing bowl of something that might once have been cake.   
Maybe we should start labelling our food so that we know whose it is to eat, or throw out. The Commune Part X
by ~Annise
The Commune Part IXThe Internet.   
It's both our best friend and our worst enemy.  
 
Some of us blog, we all watch videos and read web comics. We share funny or poignant things that we find, we rant at things that annoy us.  
 
Then there are the days when social gatherings end with us gathered around the laptop... perhaps it's not a bad thing, but perhaps it is. We're never sure.  
 
Perhaps merely by sharing with each other in real life we are negating the isolation that might occur if we were truly to be absorbed by the internet.   
It's so hard to tell. The Commune Part IX

I hardly breathe when you are near,

Sun May 17, 2009, 3:56 PM
So, life seems to have been getting in the way a bit recently.

My novel is nearing the 70,000 word mark, but it's moving more slowly now. However, I'm still careening the plot to its end. I'm not sure how it's going. In places I'm fairly sure it's rubbish.

I missed a week's word count because of a weekend of friends, partying and gaming. It was all good fun. I haven't really caught up since. I wrote 5000 words the week after, then missed another week... and I've been doing too much to really catch up. Next week I have to write 6000 words, or attempt to. Bank holiday coming up. Perhaps this will give me the chance I need?

Perhaps.

We'll see.

Jigsaw Puzzles are a wonderful distraction... it's a pity I don't really need distraction so much as structure at the moment :/

Thanks for favourite-ing the Spider Romance ... I'm pleased to see my peculiar sense of humour is not unique.

I've been randomly browsing through your gallery. I only read a few, but I really liked "Think Tank" and "Your place or mine".

You have an amazing gallery! Your writing is quite insightful.

Yeah...random. Well, I'm going to watch you now:)
