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.

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)

Good Morning, world!
Recently, in addition to my SwineFlew, I seem to have come down with some serious Disgaea-isis. It's a trouble, chronic illness that causes me to lose long tracks of time and periodic procrastination.

Yet, with treatment and a bit of rest, i am back and writing.
On another note, i've re-stuctured munchousen story. Update's tonight. Lezay, ug, 8:36pm

hello cruel world!

ok.
first post in a while. I had a bit of creative writing i wanted to share about this huge man that walked into my restaurant the other day. but instead i'll stall by telling you(all) why i won't be sharing that bit of trivia.

I've reacquainted myself recently with online gaming (for better or worse)with the game, TEAM FORTRESS 2, (i suggest all who've not tested it do so now. they even have a noob server for noobs. and it's not abused, i think.) anyway it's sapped me. also the constant working and cleaning and doing things generally not writing related. However, i realize that with out other content this simply appears as hollow excuses. Letme say this: I was playing (2nite) when someone, overthe voice chat thing was speaking softly and childly. at first i thought nothing of it. eventually it dawned on me that it wasn't mocking child-speak but some sorta eastern European or perhaps Russian language. ...or some other language i've never heard before (believe me there are alot). fun right? lighting peoples' avatars on fire from across the world? i think so.

anyway, i've come to the conclusion to update necessary more regularly (if not consistantly). these pages will now update BIWEEKLY. ...hrmm, that sounds hard. lets start with once a week then move to a biweekly thing... yeah. THESE PAGES WILL UPDATE WEEKLY so, yeah, hurra!?
