Right, I haven't written anything here in months. Luckily I've just gotten rid of the last of the dust, so that's alright.
Now, I've setup a new blog since the last time I've been here, over at Wordpress. It's called...
A Student's Wealth: My Student Debt Will Die!
It's really very good. I go into detail about my financial life as well as how I plan to get out of it. It's all very interesting to read. Quite popular. Mmyes.
So, what else is going on? Well, nothing much. I want to change course at UNiversity - and am currently undergoing the process of doing so - I got a new part time job that pulls in £195 each month, and I'm also earning more online, too.
I've set up a savings account which will act as my emergency fund should I die or something like that.
Overall, I've been really busy.

After thinking about it for a while, I decided I should continue work on one of my better pieces of writing. I only wrote up to the second chapter, but I have spent the last hour and 20 minutes reading over these chapters and adjusting where nescessary. I have also compiled a small plotline which details enough for me to write about. On average each chapter holds about 7 pages in size 11 Garamond font, with around 4,500 words. with these estimations, I can safely say my book will be around 98 pages, with around 63,000 words. So, a "short novel", if you will.
I'm not sure what the conversion rate is between a standard 'slightly smaller then A3' sized novel compared to my A4 calculations above, but either way I'm considering this piece of work a "short novel" for casual readers.
So far I've received completely positive feedback on the storyline of these two openings chapters so far from around 10 people and so I hope this (very small) trend continues. 9 of the 10 people wanted me to sell them the rest of the book, whereas the 10th person gave me their details and to let them know when I'm publishing it. Once my book is near completion (possibly around Easter next year) I shall post a few dates up here when I'll be promoting my book around my local area. Online sales won't be for a while after, once I know how successful the book will do in Britain.
No details of the book's storyline, topic or nature will be revealed on here - or anywhere else - until it it successfully copywritten under law globally to prevent theft of my characters, situations, ideas and concepts.
On another note, please actually give DECENT replies to my blogs, and not crappy "FIRST POST! WOO!" posts because I really do not appreciate that unless you also leave a comment about my post you've commented on. Save it for forums!

Hey one and all, check this one out; you may or may not be aware of this common eBay scam, but it's certainly around and kicking!
It's called the "Item Not Received" scam.
Basically, Dave is a seller, and Bob is a buyer.
Dave sells a game to Bob by first class post, which Bob receives two days later, but Bob does't leave any feedback notifiying Dave of this! Naughty Bob.
Instead, Bob waits for 5 more days before e-mailling Dave saying something like this;
"Hi dave i have not got me game yet can you plz refund me all my munny dat i spent on ur game witch was £10 cheers fanx"
So, Dave gets this e-mail and is all like "omgwtf?". Dave's only option is to either refund the guy or send him another game since he hasn't got any proof whether or not Bob is lying as the postal service doesn't record this normally.
So Dave send him another game instead of refunding him.
"hi dave i got ur game nowz fanx lol" says Bob two days later.
Bob's got two games for the price of one! Well, guess what Bob does now?
"Cool game for sale! Brand new! Just £10! BUY IT NOWZ!" Bob yells as he sells the second game for £10. So, Bob's got a free game at the end of it! NAUGHTY BOB!
The moral of this story is to be aware of people who seem a bit weird via e-mail, or impatient on eBay or similar sites when you sell them something. It's always your call whether or not to complete the sale to them, you have every right to cancel a sale if you're being pushed into doing something you don't think is quite right.

Hey one and all, Kadrean here - also known as "Kad" to my closer buddies across the world.
Obviously this isn't my real name, that'd be a bit weird/cool. It's my internet prefix. On average, 98% of stuff that's around on the internet that's written by a "kadrean" or whatever is me, apart from like one guy who's actually *called* Kadrean and lives in America somewhere 
So. I'm 19 and from England, studying Music at University, planning to become a composer for film, tv or video games. Preferaly video games, since I adore those, and would like to present some of my ideas for games oneday, considering I've also written around 5 short stories - none of which are finished to the level of "public release", and I should probably finish those, too and get them published.
That allows you to see I'm interested in "the Arts". Music, writing and *drawing*! Check out something called "Kadtoons" - a wonderful unique creation by myself that is a fantastic combination of "Kadrean" and "cartoons" (Thus; "Kad-toons") It took me about 5 minutes to come up with that one 
Let's mention my other blogs. I'm over at blogspot and nutang, too, thus this is my third blog community I've joined, and the seventh blog I've started! Blimey. That keeps me busy!
Feel free to reply/introduce yourself, and I'll catch you later! Ciao for now!
