I am fascinated.

No, seriously. Deeply fascinated. I've just stumbled across these:

http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/
http://scpfoundation.org/

http://theholders.org/ (not as cool as SCP, IMO, but still somewhat similar in principle)

I'm not even sure what to call this... phenomenon. It's not quite an alternative reality game; it's not quite traditional storytelling; it *is* collective world building on a massive scale.

As I said: I'm fascinated. I'm always delighted to discover all the mindboggling new forms of creativity that constantly seem to develop on the internet... Seriously, this kind of stuff, silly as it may seem, is one of the main reasons why I'd really like to see 'civilisation' continue in a somewhat similar form as it exists... (Even though I suspect that's not possible.)

There's also this:

Also:

I'm still frighteningly creative, solving the accumulated plot problems of *years* in my fic like there's no tomorrow, and building three Knytt Stories levels in parallel (yesterday I created some sixty concept screens! In less than three hours! The high I got from that must have been as good as any you could get from illegal substances, I think. *g* Yes, no-holds-barred creativity is definitely addictive.)

Only problem is, technically I need to focus *completely* on my job search, because I really, really, *really* need some money... I just don't quite know how to do that. Find a job, that is. (Focus, too. Focusing is haaaaard.)

I *am* checking loads of sites every day and so on, but there's very little available in the lines of work that I could usefully do.

Oh, who am I kidding. Of course I know what I need to do (beside finding a couple of internships, that is): I need to start actually approaching companies and organisations and institutions that I'm interested in without waiting for ads.

I'm just frelling scared of that.
