I blog at terrible moments

So I have a 100% 2000 word A1 essay poster thingy for my ArchGen paper due on Friday for which I have now written 10,768 words of research (not one of those words are my own), and of the actual essay I've written 0 words. So not going smashingly to be fair, and I got a bit bored (anyone would if they'd just got home from a great night at youth group 30mins ago like I did and had to continue researching!) so I figured, HEY! Time to update the blog.

I nearly left a smiley face there. It felt an incorrect thing to do on a blog though.

A correct thing to do, I've noticed is to write short paragraphs. That's why the last one was very short. Helps to keep your attention I think. Possibly.

It seems a bit pretentious though... That's something I aim not to be, as I'm trying to make Katie Ward (OI LUV 'ER!), among others see. (That's a little joke, or quip if you may. I know they don't ACTUALLY think I'm pretentious. Or DO they? *shifty eyes* <-- can you do that in blogs? Can you do arrows like that in blogs? This is quite exciting to be honest. Someone's going to have to teach me the ropes about blogging! Or perhaps they shouldn't, because then I can have a really indie blog that's completely original. Yay! Should probably close these brackets.). There. Is having a blog pretentious? I suppose it could be. Depends on the motive really. Personally I just really enjoy writing and having fun distractions. I don't really mind if anyone reads this or not. (Thanks if you are! I hope you're enjoying yourself. I am!). I write quite a lot. I write all my prayers. I used to get scared that doing that would mean I'm just forcing it all and not really able to talk to God, and yes, to be fair, for a while it was a bit that way, but I think as I've persisted with it it has really become a relationship and he is responding to me. It's so cool! I just start out writing my thanks and praise and then as I think about stuff and write he leads my thoughts to things that I guess are pretty important

(new paragraph) and then I'll start writing questions and praying about it and then as I ponder these things he leads me to answers a lot of the time! Truly it's quite awesome. I'm grateful as. Then I read the Bible and it's like he's writing back to me. Sometimes related to what I've been talking to him about, sometimes completely different but pretty much always like 'Woah! I totally haven't considered that before or lately!' God's awesome. He's the only one deserving of that word. Awe-some. Awelots I reckon!

I also write heaps in architecture. Just ask any of my archi friends! Perhaps you don't know any of them... Do some Facebook stalking, you'll find them ;) <-- HA! Take that blogging etiquette! I winked. It's weird though because I didn't actually wink... Pretentious aye! Yeah, I write heaps in architecture, like possibly even more than drawing (I do a fair bit of that too). I love researching and writing stuff out. It's how I learn. Actually, it's really dumb because I always end up writing too much (heck, I've probably lost almost everyone (if anyone started) by now because of the excessive writing!), and so I study badly and write essays badly (I've got to cut down from the 10,768 words to just 2000, but actually way less than that because they're all quotes!). Yeesh!

What did you think about my title? Misleading aye! Like you might've read it thinking something terrible had happened to me, but I was just saying I have a bit of pressure with architecture assignments. Reminds me of the Next magazine cover. The main article's about Brooke Fraser (SWOON!) and the caption by her photo says 'Marriage, Separation and Something Else' (didn't actually say that, I just don't remember the last bit), so I opened it up quick-snap! because I was like Guts! Brooke's got a divorce! But it was nothing to do with divorce!!! (Did you like the three exclamation marks Jordan? Oh. You stopped reading.) It was just about how great her married life is and

how she's been separated from her old life living at home because she's always touring, which she enjoys! Ridiculous aye! I KNOW! Blimmin hyperreality... Hyper-what you say? Great question. Hold it. I'll tell you next time. Or another time. Time's a-runnin. Cheeky time...
