RICH TEXT EDITOR (beta)
A test of a new Rich Text Editor is now available. Go to the My Account tab and see the option for "Use Rich Text Editor for batch entry?". This should greatly simplify making submissions for members who include bold, italics, underlining and multiple paragraph breaks in their batch entries. Feedback on this new feature is appreciated.

TWITTER
100words is now on Twitter. Currently it's offering simple Tweets with some overall daily statistics. More to come later, but currently could be a useful reminder to you to keep up with your own daily entries.

Also, we still really appreciate it if you care to link to (and therefore promote) 100Words using one of our many icons and banners.

I have learned that I hate working. I really do. I can't stand my job. I can't take the stress of it all. I already have so much work with school and now I have another job. I swear if I didn't have to pay for things, I wouldn't work. And all the money that I did get from this lousy job will be going away to pay for my car. And for the rest of my life it will be like this. I will always have to have a job. This thought really scares the shit out of me.

I have to get a better system going. I jot notes here and there, try to bring them together at work, at home, when I have a few minutes here and there. My little black notebooks don't seem to be doing the job either, I have a tendency to use them for notes in meetings rather than notes for words. And since I've now mentioned to yet another person my commitment to writing 100 words a day, precisely, I really need to do that – not just write the number, but put them into a coherent passage of some sort.

Lackluster

I feel lackluster today. It’s all getting to me. My lack of emotion, my need to push away every single person in my life, and my general bitchiness. I know I’ll get over it by tomorrow, or in a few hours, because it was a dream that made me feel this way. I hate how dreams have the most powerful emotions and they remind you so much of reality that you are convinced that they can become real. I’m annoyed at everyone right now, because nobody has the balls to talk to me. So forget me. I don’t care.

The cell phone rules, I discovered when Krishna went back to school yesterday evening, for the inauguration ceremony of the cricket camp. The function ended at 8pm, almost an hour late and the school bus drivers were not there when it ended. So the children waited and it was almost 9pm when the bus dropped him off a stop ahead. He called his father who was already waiting for him at the destined stop. All these developments were known to us as I had sent the cell phone with my son. It was very useful and the stress was minimal.

Y ~ Yard--yes or no? I don't do yardwork. Just not up to it. I have a gardener. Have a big yard by today's standards. A naval orange tree, Japanese persimmon tree, and olive tree in the back yard. And small apple tree in the front yard, as well as a HUGE aloe vera plant, bamboo bush, a giant bottlebrush tree, and my beautiful night blooming cereus plant. We call it the petting cactus. People walking along the street look at it, and always have to touch it. So hiliarious to watch the reactions. Don't know what they expect.

Social networking sites can be fantastic for getting in touch with old friends, organising events and inviting people to them and letting your friends know what is happening in your life. The trouble is, there is a tendency to just read people’s updates and fool ourselves that this is “staying in touch” even though we are not actually directly communicating with the other person. Instead of having a conversation, we just post the occasional comment. The danger is that if we spend too much time online focusing on virtual friendships, we can miss out on the beauty of real ones.
