Bad Blogger

Yup.

Skipped my regular blog post over on my other blog yesterday.

I'm bad.

I don't even really have an excuse. I was just tired and uninspired. (Ironically enough, it was a post debunking the need for inspiration.)

ANYWAY! Enough of that rumination.

People are trying to kill me.

Really.

I'm taking part in two different 50k challenges next month.

A 50k day on the 4th (PLEASE join!)

And a 50k weekend on the 23, 24, 25 after Thanksgiving. (HELP!)

So... at the end of the month I think I should probably have 150k. I probably won't, though. But so long as I get a total of 50k, I'm happy.

So, what are you guys doing?

Tangled

Yup.

Watched it again.

Best movie of all time. Except for Aladdin. Aladdin is my all time fave since I was a kid. (Hush, I know I'm only eighteen, but I haven't been a kid for awhile.)

But anyway, that one word describes my thoughts right now.

I'm trying to plan, but I need to know more about my novel before I can start... but how do I know more about my novel if I don't plan?

Also, I'm a pantser at heart, and a perfectionist by nature. My first chapter is three scenes and the written out plan for it is... four? pages long. Maybe five. Yeah.

Also, need to figure out the organisation front for the Hunters... Thinking the name Biotech? But... is that too future-y for a book that's only set six years in the future?

And what the hell new tech will we have then? (Online Science journals, here I come.)

And I NEED TO CLEAN MY HOUSE. At least before NaNoWriMo, that way I can go into November without that distraction. And we now have no Television to distract me.

And Work and sleep are going to get in my way.

And... and... and... I don't know. I've had coffee. My fingers are moving faster than my thoughts. Well not really, but pretty fricking close. Or is it my fingers aren't moving fast enough, I don't know. Maybe I should ask Jezzy about getting everything done, she seems to handle bigger work loads better than I. Maybe.

Possibly?

Hell, I don't know. I kinda want to watch/read InuYasha again, I loved that. And I want to finish reading Fruits Basket and rewatch the Anime, but I don't remember where I left off in the manga and I don't really have much time between now and November. Maybe I could work that into my reward system for NaNoWriMo?

I have so many ideas I want to write, but my NaNoWriMo novel is taking up my entire head and giving me a headache because there are so many things that I DON'T KNOW. Gah!

Rant over.

Bye.

HELP ME!!!!!! Please?

Twelve Hours

Twelve hours of sleep and I think I've caught up.

Yup.

That was my day.

I'm now watching The Hunger Games.

I didn't get any time to plan my NaNoWriMo novel, or work on any of my other novels.

Well... Yup.

That is about it.

Sleep... Where did you go?

I work nights.

I can't sleep well while the sun is shining.

That does not make for a very balanced schedule.

Also, factor in trying to find time to write, plan for NaNo, game, blog, time for boyfriend, and all the things I *want* to do... and I have little time.

We all have the same 24, I know. But Blah!

Last night/This morning was supposed to be my "Friday" at work. I was asked to come in tonight. I was like... *sigh* I guess I can.

I also had Pathfinder with my friends today. At 10 am. I get off work at 7. I get home at seven thirty, lay down at eight, get back up and 9:30. Friends get here around 10:30. We play until 4. I kick them out so I can sleep. Sleep until 8pm. I work 10pm to 7am.

It's going to be an interesting/tired night.

Short post is short. But whatever. I'm tired. I don't care.

Shiny New Computer

Yes!

I finally got it!

I waited ALL DAY. It said it was out for delivery at five forty-five this morning. It didn't get here until seven thirty PM. GRAH!

But I have it now, and am still getting used to it. 

It's an Acer Aspire One, and it's only a tad smaller then my previous Chrome Book, but it's a TON lighter. 

It's all shiny, and new, and I love it. 

ALSO! I was featured on The Kelworth Files blog here. CHECK IT OUT!

Also, I'm thinking about moving my blogs to Word Press. Thoughts?

That's all I have for today. I live an exciting life, I know.

NEW COMPUTER!

As always, I don't apologize for shouting.

My computer has pretty much gone kaput. It's a small little netbook-y thing. (It's a Chrome book, from google.)

Where the screen connects to the keyboard is missing screws and is broken to the point where it won't stay up on it's own anymore.

So my boyfriend, who loves me oh so much... Bought me a new one. It will be here in two days time. Perfect time for me to get all I need/want downloaded and installed before NaNoWriMo.

I'm so happy!

And I'm totally thinking of buying/getting Scrivener or WriteWay, but I'm not sure yet...

I have Write or Die and can install it on there. (I've had it for a few years, and the file is on a usb stick for just this reason)

So tonight at work is going to suck. I slept last night instead of during the day today, so I may have to find a couple hours and take a nap, though I don't really see that happening. I'm way too awake.

So I'm going to be tired and cranky at work tonight.

I SO wish that there were people in my area on the NaNoWriMo forums... but we don't even have a Municipal Liaison...

This makes me sad.

Maybe next year?

Anyway, I think that's about all I have to say for now.

*disappears in a puff of smoke*

Do The Speed Limit!!

Grah!

So I was on my way from buying crafty things to make use of for my NaNo Swap thing and there was this guy doing THIRTY in a FORTY!

It's like, I get that you're old, but DO THE SPEED LIMIT!

I'm an angry driver.

Anyway, about the NaNo Swap.

I went overboard already, and I'm not sure I'm done. I used it as an excuse to buy crafty things like beads and stuff that I've been meaning to but hadn't found an excuse... Well this gave me an excuse and I'm not counting in the cost of those items. (Seriously, I've spent fifty bucks... but only like... MAYBE $10 a piece for the actual Swap stuff).

Well... I'd tell you what I got, but one of them MAY find this blog and I don't want to spoil what they're getting until they get it, so I will take pictures and post them once they are received, how about that?

No?

I don't care. I'm doing it that way anyway.

ALSO!

I love my hat. It's GIR, and my Mommy made it for me. Lots of people recognized it. The mall was busy for a Sunday, and a grandma at Goodwill recognized it too!

I get so many looks in that hat. I was wearing all black, with white and silver shoes and a small black book bag with a BRIGHT GREEN hat!

Ah, I will have to, maybe, post a picture.

We'll see.

Anyways!

Toodle-oo!

Talking To Myself

Yup!

That's what this is for. I don't care if anyone reads it, though it'd be kinda nice, that way I don't feel completely insane. Though... *shrugs* I might be. It's kind of a Catch-22, huh? 

Hm. 

Anyway. 

This is pretty much a space for me to talk to myself. 

Obviously. 

But about what?

Well, probably my writing. And my reading. And the WriMo's. And my cats. And my boyfriend. And caffeine. And Video Games. And Anime/Manga. Music. Movies. Whatever comes to mind. Really. Don't expect any coherence at all in this. 

I think that's good for an introductory post. 

After all, I'll probably be the only one reading this. 

Ta ta!
