Okay well what did I do rather than do jackshit? let me think ....
Well I ran into Kate down at Maccas tonight that was a pleasant surprise. We had a chat and that, caught up for about 15 minutes. She's also another uni student that is not looking forward to going back to uni, but sometime we'll both have to face the music. Dammit.
We (Dan and I) went to the new place we are hoping to get on Fox St, which pratically opposite Maccas, to see Katie our hopefully new housemate. She has a fat black cat called Beanie and reminded me of Miffy because she was telling me about how he chucks the skitz at anything and anyone. Lol. That's Miffy for you, but she tends to be a pecky eater while Beanie just eats anything. Explains why he's so **** fat lol. We talked the usual stuff over with Katie, the house was a mess and all, but I didn't mind. His Uncle/Lily (I think her name is, or am I getting that mixed up with Dominique's nickname?) wasn't there which was strange because when we ran into him the other day at the shopping centre he said that he wanted to tell us some things, I don't know, must've not been that important *shrugs*
Gotta write a summary for Tourniquet and this is what I've written so far -
The Third World War was brutal.
Millions of American men lost their lives fighting in Asia and in Europe.
But the superpower that rose after the Third World War has now done more damage to each individual than anyone could picture Utopia to be framed as.
Welcome to the future.
Los Angeles is now the City of Fallen Angels instead of the City of Angels.
Halos choke the city instead of glamourising the horizons.
Darkness is the new light.
Greenhouse gases have been replaced with neon billboards while freedom and individualism have been replaced with suppression and conformity.
A global corporation now controls minds with propaganda and drugs, doused with deceit and hypocrisy.
Those born before the Japanese blast were classified and filed as being from the Old World.
Those born after the Japanese blast were classified and programmed as being from the New World, with each given a pendant to replace their fingerprints.
There's going to be a lot of adding/deleting words in that summary because it took me about half an hour to even think of those couple of lines, which is unlike me, as people have always told me I've had a flair for words and all. Meh *shrugs* I just hope it's good in the long run for the publishers to nod thier heads and smile at the book.
edit. I just found this old pic of me and Tabz I look spastic in it though
