A Post That Basically Says Nothing

Yesterday, the internet connection that I've been, um, 'borrowing' at home went kaput, but I wrote down my blogpost instead! I shall not fail at my quest so early in the year, at least in August I could feel some sense of accomplishment. Post 13 would just be sad.

My post for 01/13:

So I got news back today that an opportunity that I've been working on since late November might be bearing fruit. I'd like to tell what it is, but I'm absolutely terrified of jinxing it. I know it's silly, but I haven't told anyone about it yet. Over Christmas break, I kept thinking that maybe I should mention it to my parents or Redhead, but I just couldn't do it. What if I told them and then it didn't pan out? I would spend quite a few nights wondering if it would have gone better had I kept it a secret.

Besides, this way if it doesn't work out, I won't have to deal with them sympathizing with me. I know they mean well, but I'd rather just forget about it and move on. In any case, he said that he would hopefully have news within the next two weeks, so when I get word, I'll pass it along to you! Then I'll reference this post and it'll be like the end of a mystery story when you go 'Oh, that's who dunnit!' Except, of course, no one had to get murdered for my story. At least, I hope not.
