Well I've just finished my dinner. So I'm sitting down to some CSI before I get to work on editing my novel.

Life is about love, last minutes and lost evenings,
About fire in our bellies and furtive little feelings,
And the aching amplitudes that set our needles all a-flickering,
And help us with remembering that the only thing that's left to do is live.

Hehe, hi I know, I haven't been using RYL much lately.
Hope you're doing well?

I always find it really strange when people refer to lunch as dinner. Dinner is an evening thing.
No, we have tea in the evening.
Breakfast, dinner, tea.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner/tea if being informal. I think it's just one of those regional things.

It's just having the inclination to write it out.
Yeah, maybe, but my imagination is not that great. Maybe I'll write an academic book, but won't be anything requiring imagination or characters or anything.
I need to decide that yet, heh heh. I was just bored and started writing and an introduction happened. Got a few ideas of where it could go though. I should probably plan the plot with templates if I'm going to be serious about it.
Here's so far:
Tremendously oversized water drops were purged from the blackened sky, crashing against the concrete patio, Jemima had never seen marks on the ground left by rain quite this large ever before. But the spattering crashes of precipitation were not to last long before a break in the weathers dramatic afternoon performance, as if pausing for effect there was a lull in the rainstorm before the heavens truly did open and chucked down streams, heavy, loud and all encompassing like a rainforest shower or a geographically misplaced monsoon.
Jemima rocked back and forth awkwardly on the rickety old chair that she was sitting back to front on, her pillar-box red hair fell in messy fragments in front of her darkly made-up eyes that looked out through the teary windows. She was wearing black and white striped tights and a tartan skirt of standard original green shades, the hem line resting precariously just above her knees. Heeled school-style shoes adorned her feet and her look was completed with a stark white shirt and a yellow and black diagonal striped tie which reached half way down her torso. Her shirt was un-tucked and the top button was undone to reveal an enticing glimpse of her protruding collar bones.
Smirking, she ran a pencil along her bottom lip, fragments of the eraser breaking off that she removed with the back of her thumb. 'Rain', she thought, 'why do so many people complain about it.' Standing up with a start she span on her right heel, firing the pencil against the desk in the corner with such force that it ricocheted off the wall before hitting the desk again and rolling onto the floor. Fleeing up the antique stairs which creaked under the strain of her prancing she pounced onto the landing before waltzing into her spacious room and began brushing her bright red hair into pigtails as she hummed, in front of the mirror on her dressing table.
Across the room on a small circular coffee table a mobile phone began vibrating, causing an undesirable rattling noise and kicking out one of the lesser heard of Gorillaz tunes. 'Jason Heston' flashed onto the screen, complete with an unflattering photo of him, snapped on a particularly drunken night out.
Jemima continued tussling with her hair, she didn't know who it was and she
didn't care, as far as Jemima was concerned; mobile phones were for the convenience of the owner.
It's nothing special.
Stop thinking about what I want, what he wants, what your parents want. What do you want?

I'll look out for it :D

I call it breakfast, lunch and tea or dinner depending how heavy the meal is. Or like whether it's just having a sandwich in front of the TV or a roast with all the family at the dining table.
My dad used to call it luncheon sometimes as a joke :)
But now I'm usually on my own I've abandoned the idea of meal times altogether. Just eat whatever, whenever.

We've been through this. If you don't want me to steal your work then stop being so awesome.
