Best Sibling Ever

"My gums feel happier as submarines."
My brother had to have some sort of gum graft because the way he was brushing his teeth was making them recede. I don't really know the specifics except he was totally out of it on painkillers and I found it terribly funny. Refer yourself to the journal title. Anyways, quote is what he said while sitting at the table with his mouth full of water, and that's how he answered my 'wtf' look after he swallowed.

I've started two journals in a row with random quotes...

I've run out of steam for NaNo, probably not going to get finished again. Oh well. A least I made progress, right? Loser consoling herself? Absolutely.

Read Shawshank Redemption the other day. Yesterday, to be exact, I guess. Started writing what I guess I'll call a short story. I don't know what to think of it so far. It's kind of different from anything I've written before, and kind of the same. (Score zero points in the sense category for that last sentence.) I will likely hate it at the end. (:

Got a new university acceptance on Friday. I'll be taking fine arts this time, with a side helping of English. I suppose I'll have to write that book.

God Complex

"I'm like Jesus, baby; you thought I was dead, now I'm back and your world's gonna end."
There's just no accounting for the random things that pop into my head. This was totally accompanied by a still image of a guy wearing a serial killer expression. Sounds a bit like a song lyric--not a good one though.
Anyways, moving along...

I think I may have bested all my previous NaNoWriMo attempts, and we're only into day three! 2,227 words, oh yeahh. And I wrote it all yesterday. By the end of today, if I finally get to writing, I should be at 5,000 words to be on track for 50k at the end of the month. Eep. I really fail at this, like hardcore fail.

I've decided to work on Shades of Glory, so yes that's 2.2k words of new stuff. (: On part 7 at the moment. Things should really get going by 8. Although, I am a bit worried that I'll run out of material for it before I hit 50k, because it's going to need about thirty installments of approximately the same length, and that's a conservative estimate (using hardly any math whatsoever). Uh, yeah...

I just realized, if I even make it through this week semi on track, this will be the longest story I've ever written. I'm not sure if that's awesome or depressing.

Too much coffee! (:

Have grrrreat day.

I signed up again so as to continue my losing streak.

I still have no clue what I'm writing.

Updates & SG News

I'll start with the Shades of Glory stuff so you won't have to wade through my ramble to get to it. This may mean my title is backwards. Oh no.

I just wanted to say that the part three rewrite should be up soon! It's just been giving me trouble and needed a lot of work. There was nothing about the setting, or how he went from being almost starved to death to being able to function, and too many other holes to fall through. I've also been easily distracted lately, but in my defense I've been doing some useful things, like learning how to make sugar cookies and apple pies. (Well, more how to bake rather than make the pie, but still... )

I can't decide whether or not I'm going to try for National Novel Writing Month this year. I think I've ' participated' three times, and never reached a word count of more than 1.5k. Yes, i r pathetic writer when it comes to keeping pace. If I do try it this year, I will have a lot more time on my hands with which to actually write, because I did end up dumping architecture after the first almost-month. I'm also not sure that I'd work on SG for it, which would likely mean a lack of updates there for all of November. I have a few other ideas kicking around that I'd like to try.

Onto more unrelated and notes...

I can't find my notebook. This is not cool. I'm beginning to worry it got lost somewhere between Toronto and here, and I really dislike the idea of anyone else finding and reading it. My unedited work and messy writing is dangerous to the brain.

My other recent distraction is a project I've been working on elsewhere on the internet, and I might move here, but it takes a lot of posts and would fill up my gallery really quickly. Basically, it's a story told through the narrator's letters to another character, which are all written in a notebook and aren't really intended to be sent. The part that makes it something that only really works online is that it's in 'real' time, so it's like the character's talking about what happened that day. It might help to think of it as online blog of open letters. It's interesting, because it makes me really think about the time line, but it's also annoying because I can't just skip ahead six months because I want to.

Hope you guys are all doing well!

Love Songs for Lunatics

...is what I'm going to call the book I write once I drop out of this stupid, pretentious program and take art like I SHOULD have done.

The scent of this place is working its way into my skin and I just want to go home.
...wherever that is, these days.
