Finished writing a second book (continuation of the one which will be published sometime this spring).

Nice. Can't wait!

And I've immediately started writing a continuation of continuation... I guess I just can't stop Tongue

I wish I had that problem.

Just got home from a MUN conference. I represented Antiochus (Athens) in a Crisis Committee reenactment of the Peloponnesian War.

We were able to squeak out a victory by stoking helot rebellions, launching a surprise attack at Pylos (which I helped devise) at which we established a helot army led by Pythagoras and decimated "invincible" Spartan troops by inflicting a 60% casualty rate on their forces even as they retook the city months later, and widespread guerrilla warfare at the Isthmus of Corinth on top of expanded border fortifications. It ended when, after gradually cutting down their massive land army, we stormed Sparta with helot and Macedonian reinforcements as they were launching a massive and costly offensive in Attica.

Lots of weird stuff happened -- we killed a Spartan king when he attempted to walk across the Isthmus of Corinth with a force of only 100 men, and ten triremes loaded with Greek Fire ran aground after we attempted to send them down an extremely shallow and narrow river in order to suicide-bomb Sparta.

Most interestingly, civil war broke out within Spartan troops occupying Athens because Lysander had secretly created a death cult centered around him to take power after we imploded. Despite the fact that he that he was killed at sea after we ambushed his fleet, the cultists were instructed to start massacring their fellow soldiers as soon as the long walls were breached, which gave us time to regroup at the Acropolis and defeat the decimated Spartans.

Most of the craziness was caused by the Spartan committee constantly trying to backstab each other as the Athenian committee united to protect their territories.

This is way, way too much detail, but whatever Tongue

That sounds pretty fun, actually.

The last three days were pretty great.

On Sunday, I had an exceptional time at Church, and earned some money afterwords.

On Monday, went on a book shopping binge, and got about 20-25 books.

Today, went hiking with a friend of mine, and had a great talking.

My mom asked me in the middle of Walmart if I wanted to wear women's clothes. Would have furthered my position of "eventually" to "I'd prefer to take hormones first, making the switch as I 'blossom'" if I weren't in the middle of Walmart.
Sorry for the double post, but update: writing a short thing about this to my mom in email. Want someone to read over it to make sure it makes sense.

I can do to, but also get more than one person to read it over.

Wrapped up a 63+ hour work week, and then worked more on Saturday. I'm dead tired.

About to move again for the third time this year at the end of the week. I hope this will work out.

Huh

so you are no longer sure you will endure in Georgia?

Oh, I will endure. I'm just wondering if I'll be enduring in an apartment, or under a bridge.

Unless I'm misusing the website, I believe it's only a few paragraphs.

Yeah, it's not very long, but the point is. I wrote it, and got paid for it.

I'm sorry to hear that. What happened with your trade gig?

I learned a lot from it, and will try to find a job up here in it if I have too.

Just read that LLR is counting posts, so I may or not be just posting this to get higher on the list...

Other news, I feel extremely happy to be back home. The reception is great, and I've become excited for life for the first time since I don't remember when.
