Hi.

*walks in slowly* *waves* *smiles awkwardly*
I know, it seems as if I've been avoiding you, or leaving you alone for far too long. I'm sorry, but it's November now, and you know what that means? You guessed it I'll be writing blogs instead of my NaNoWriMo novel! Because I'm really bad at not procrastinating.

I'm just over 2100 right now, which isn't too bad for day one. I have to keep on top of this and write extra on Tuesdays if I want to get stuff done, but I'm so easily distracted.


I could stare at that for like, two hours five minutes.

Did I tell you I've started watching Doctor Who? I think most of the people that read this blog follow me on twitter, or know me in real life, so they know, but I feel like sharing anyway. I freaking LOVE this show. I have no idea why I didn't start watching it before, I mean I was told about it when I was in high school, I should have started watching then. I'm still watching that gif btw as I'm typing. 


What has happened in my life since I last blogged. It was my birthday on Wednesday, I'm know the unimportant age of 24, I went to a concert, OH OH OH I MADE A FRIEND!!!! We go out on Thursdays! I have STANDING PLANS. You don't even know. *does I have a friend dance* And she's a nerd, and she loves Harry Potter, AND she watches Doctor Who, although she hasn't seen the any other Doctor but Matt Smith, and I'm not sure if I like him yet, but it's only been three episodes. I'm pretty sure I hate Amy though. We have plans to watch Buffy together, and and and possibly Dexter. I love having nerdy friends. My old friend, she wouldn't have done things like that with me.

I should show you my Halloween Costumes.
Marty McFly

Random Slytherin person Or Ginny Weasley if you're a person who came to the Epping Wal-Mart.


I still need my Harry Potter tickets.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY.
Today is awesome because I found that gif. OMG.

Books Read 37.
I know I suck, still reading the Book Thief.

NaNo time

Now that it's the 3rd of November, I feel I should write a blog about NaNoWriMo.

So far I'm on target for making it through, but just barely. I have to have a really good writing day soon and just completely pwn this story.

This story is kind of difficult, because I've been working on Universe for so long that I trying to write something else, something I know kind of sucks and doesn't have much delvopment yet, is really difficlult. I hope I can really figure it out. I've been tempted to erase and start over several times. But that's the pressure of NaNo.

I'm writng with my roommate, and she's never really sat down and written before, so it's intersting. At least this year there is a person in the room to bounce stuff off of. I kind of want to go to the write-in tomorrow, but I'm not supposed to be in Barnes and Noble, and I have class. So I'll try to figure that out.

I've felt kind of weird latley, and I don't know why. I think I'm upset with the lack of committment some people are showing in an ongoing project, and how, even though it's not the single most important thing in people's lives, they're treating it like it's not important at all. We all signed on to see it through to the end, to actually try. It sucks that I'm the only one even mildly intersted in finishing the project. I'm honestly thinking about not be bothered to do my part this week, or next week, or ever again. I'm starting to not care about it because no one else cares about it. It was my idea, my baby, I created it, and now I'm just watching it die and theres no way I can save it it.

I was sick last week and let Noelles run THES because I wasn't going to make it there, and it went smoother and they got more done than they ever had when I'm running the show. I feel like I'm not needed. Like I'm already being replaced. I don't like it. I don't want to be the person that can be replaced with a better version at any moment.

Anyways, I have to get ready to go to class, well at least try to make it to lunch with my friends. I think that's part of my thing, I really miss my friends. I mean, their right down the street, and I try to see them as much as possible, but I don't get to see them like I want, or used to.

 AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY

If you can think of a reason that today is awesome, let me know.

October is planning time!!

I got an email about a week ago from the NaNoWriMo guys, and I wasn't going to do it, but yesterday I started working on Universe again, so I figured "what the heck might as well." Obvs I won't be working on Universe, but I think working on a new project will help with the writing of Universe, I'm kind of stuck, I'm kind of in the process of re-writing also. There is some stuff I need to add. I took it off WeBook, because I kind of felt pressured by that site, I don't really know why, but I felt like I was failing by not posting things on a regular basis.

Back to NaNo though, I got my roommate to do it with me! She's been brainstorming all day, working on plot (lolz) and character development. Her books sounds pretty interesting too. When I get a better idea about mine I'll let you know. I'm still in the planning stages.

There are some write-ins in Augusta, but they're in Barnes and Noble, so I don't know if I can go, I'm going to work on it though.

ALSO my roommate and I are starting up a book club. I'm uber excited about this. We're starting with the new Laurie Halse Anderson book, Wintergirls. We're all official with a Facebook event and everything.

According to my horoscope I should be getting a job this week. Which would be WONDERFUL. I need one so badly. I need more things going on in my life to focus. I miss having large amounts of stress and craziness in my life.

October is looking pretty crazy right now, I'm excited. I like being stretched to within an inch of my life. I work better that way. November should be interesting.


Video Game Boy and I are working on making a super awesome video, with help from his Girlfriend. It's like a love story, man + car + pokemon, you'll love it.

THES is also getting down to crunch time. We have funds and such so we can start painting and all that fun stuff soon. I'm really excited for How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It's going to be so awesome. I can tell with the group of people we have this year.

I think that's all I really have for now. I'll let you know if something else comes up.

AND THAT IS THE END OF THE STORY

today is awesome because my roommate keeps yelling that she's quitting NaNo, and it's not even November yet. She has no idea. :)
