A collection of thoughts unbound and scrawlings in the life and times of Mr. Wordy

Sorry about the other night's post, i was feeling quite low.
I've come to the resolve that i need to simply produce more. More time crafting words and more time authoring. (less time being a whiny, self-demining emo child)

I've been revising works. Expects some revised pieces tonite (sometime)

don't worry about me.

Adventures in a timeline of Marc

*GRUMBLE*

Ok, so you know how t'other day when i didn't post the new Munchausen tale because i was studing for my GREs? Well, as it turns out, i wasn't allowed to take them, 'cause i registered as Marcus Miranti, not William Marcus Miranti (the name on all my I.D.). Not only is it a major set-back for I, I now hafta pay out the ass (~100$)to re-register; during which i'm sure ther'll be problems, 'cause my SS # (not my schutzstaffel number but me social secerity number) will be the same, as with all my other info.
On top of all that, the good folks at ets.org alias: the GRE fucktards, tell me they can't change my name. I s'pose that prevents cheating. nor will they refund me or lemme pay 50$ to alter my information 'cause it's after the test date. But they did tell that in the booklet and online that it sez, persumibly, to "make sure you are registered as your legal name." Well EXCUUUUUUUUSEEEE MMEEEEE for not being able to see warnings that aren't in massive bold lettering. Only, I assume there is such a warning, the operator i spoke with, Shirley, had a hard time telling me where i might find such an admonition. (appearently there's a book?) unfortunately, barreled into the whole 'i'm gonna take my GREs' thing haphazardly. who knows, there might just be a place filled with information like that. Plus, i accepted the terms and conditions agreement, so, legally, they can tell me to piss off. Which they did.

sigh.

Ruby sez that they are in the wrong because i've always associated my self with the name Marcus instead of William. I'm sure that if Shirly knew all about my life, she'd agree.
Sometimes i feel like the whole academic system is a grandiose test meant to rule out the weak. like just being able to take the GREs is a test in of itself.
Or meeby it's just my life.

Anyway, In addition to dealing with that nonsence, i've developed an acute craving for Diablo 2. so my Munchausen chaptorial (serial) has been redused to mere scenes. I wounder if Dickens ever had these kinda problems? like getting distracted from Bleak House reading better novels or whatever victorians did for distraction from tuberculosis and sexual repression.

-Marcus William
p.s. Munchausen updates tomorrow. (or tonite, if my lvl 20 paladin can make it through ACT 2 without being beset upon by vicious Players)

Le sigh

well, sorry folks, but i guess my last week's post went unposted.

enjoy it this week.'cause this week's post will be late. (b)WHY!?!?(/B) you might demand. Well, it's 'cause i was s'posed to take my GRE's today, so i've been studying instead of writing. Well i come to find today that i can't because my info doesn't match. I'm a bit angry about it.

so the story will be post ponned.
