I'm Melissa; pretend journalist and currently real-life accountant wannabe. I used to be a kid in highschool, but I've since kicked the habit. At 18 years of age I'm just moving through life, enjoying my free-time and earning lots of money whilst still living with my parents. Continued on page 2...

No update for absolutely ages. Probably because I’ve been so damn busy ever since I got home.. Argh! :p So busy, you ask? Well then, here it goes.

James and I put together have finally come up with a design for Kafumi.net, and have a skin done for the forums connected to that site. It’s official. Ambient-Distortion.com, Eloquensa.net, Sanctua-Anima.com - They’re all part of a network that falls under the name of kafumi :P Do you Kafumi?

I’ve had to organise my finances (ha, finances, what finances?) and I’ve bought an E-Starr reseller which the wonderful Amy helped set up for me. US$20 a month for 1500MB of space and 30GIG of bandwidth. Marvellous. I’ve since then moved Kafumi and Eloquensa over to accounts on the reseller, and am in the process of moving Sanctua Anima and Ambient Distortion over. All 4 sites under the same account for once. *Phew*. Although, in the midst of this, Hannah, my “business partner” from Sanctua Anima has said she can’t afford to be a partner anymore, and is going to pay off her debt to me and drop out. Gah. I think I should be able to cope on my own, although I’ll have to move all the customers over to the rest of the space on my E-Starr reseller and drop the Netrillium one - I never really liked Netrillium all that much anyway, so it’s okay.

Umm.. School is the same - boring, horrible, but now with the added extra of being extremely frikkin cold. *Brrrrr* I’ve worn my trenchcoat to school for the last 2 days just in the hope of being able to keep slightly warmer than without, and it has helped a fair bit. Though soon out will come the dreaded tights. Blech. Latin is better than ever, I’m getting fairly good at it, and Mrs Pigram (my teacher) is determined that I should learn more than one language at once. I’m already learning Esperanto as well as Latin, although Esperanto isn’t in any curriculum and has no set “exams” that you can pass, so I don’t know that I’ll be allowed to learn that. If I can’t, however, I will be taking up Ancient/Classical Greek and learning that in my second elective times. So what does this mean, people? No more computing! The heavens send down their blessings.
Computing sucks. Computing is the spawn of Satan himself. In computing I’m “learning” how to make webpages with a coloured background. Joy. And with Dreamweaver at that. I hate Dreamweaver so, so much. :/ What happened to all the people in the world that knew how to do things themselves? Instead they get a computing program to “think” for them, and in the end it screws things up anyway.

One of my friends can be so stupid sometimes. Now, I’m not an optimist, and I’m not a pessimist - I think realistically. Although with her, she just doesn’t seem to understand the concept of money and the concept of time. She’s got her life all set out, she plans to finish school and go to Europe for schoolies with another one of her friends, come home, have a year in between highschool and university, continue working for the place she’s been working for for around a year now because it “shows dedication” and will somehow magically increase her chances of getting a good job later on, and then she’ll buy an apartment with this friend she’s going to Europe with and they’ll have lots of money to decorate it blah blah blah. And she’ll be a supervisor at work by then, so that automatically means she’s going to have a lot more money than she does now. WRONG. I want to board at university so that I can move out of the hole that is home, and I’m thinking I might just be able to make ends meet with having to pay $120 a week in board and buy my own food.. Geez. How she thinks she’s going to manage full time university AND do her assessments, assignments and study, AND still work the same amount of hours she does now is really beyond me.

Oh well. :p
