What is everyone currently reading at this time? I'm curious.
I'm a little over half done with Homeland by R.A. Salvatore. I borrowed the Dark Elf trilogy a while back and I think it's time that I read it so I can send it back to its owner. ^_~ I like the book, but I'm looking forward to the next volumes since I hear it gets better.
But as far as my own books go, I'm reading Oliver Twist, which I only own because I needed something to get with my store credit at the used bookshop. And I've always been meaning to read this classic. |

Start at 100% and subtract 1% for everything you’ve done. At the end, repost this as “I am ___% Virgin at Life”.
( 100 responses )
I AM 16% VIRGIN AT LIFE. OMG. I guess when I die, at least I can say I've lived a fulfilling and enriched life? Hm. Maybe I should work at knocking out that 16%. Who can I rape for a porn while scuba diving? You can pay me for stripping while we set my house on fire and break my arm in a restaurant. We'll walk out on the bill and go stalk someone. Sound good? |

![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sociopathic Oh, Julian. I have a confession; I'd never written HP before Ashes. Ever. It was such a total whim that took me on a rollercoaster I could have never anticipated. I didn't think much of OCs, to be honest, and I was probably one of the mods who was wariest about your app. I was just so straight-line canon-obsessed that I wasn't really open to the notion of OCs. But your writing sample was good, so I gave my thumbs up, and I am so, so glad I did. I don't know if I've ever said it in these terms, but: he is the most well-developed OC I've ever had the pleasure of writing against. Period. No OC I've ever played against in HP or PB has surpassed him, and I don't expect that they ever will. Thank you for exploring the depths of madness where no one else would. Thank you for taking all the drama of their story as it came and never taking it personally. Thank you for doing more to define my character than anyone else. Whatever character depth I achieved, I owe to you, because you WENT there with me. I know it came to an unfortunate end, but the opportunity to revive it, even only for a few months, was magical to me. I'm sincerely sorry that my interest in the fandom waned. I hope, someday, that I'll get that muse back again, because no one goes darker than you. |

It just occurred to me that some of our Wrimos are in other countries. Oops, it was Bubblehead!Jenn there for a moment. She makes appearances around birthdays too. I'm pre-marking it for midnight. Have at fellow writers.

| NANO STARTS TONIGHT |
[Oct. 31st, 2009|09:28 pm] |
In four and a half hours I'll start my NaNoWrimo. It's scary, I just made a character chart yesterday (very, very nasty one since the theme for my novel is the six degrees of separation and almost everyone is conected) and kinda plotted a bit over it.
For my To-Do List.
Spam yourfacehere
Start writing the characters for my novel
Cut my fingernails.
Put energy drinks in the frigde
Get chocolate
Cry in horror
Writer's block
Bitch about my writer's block
Make a NaNo Wallpaper to hunt me in my desktop/cellphone.
Make a day/words per day chart.
Draw my novel timeline.
Get anxious, stare at my clock 'till 23:59
WRITE.
I WISH YOU ALL LUCK TO MY FELLOW NANOWRITERS<3 |

How to survive NaNoWriMo - Ten Rules
(With minimal damage to limbs, family and sanity)
1. Find a comfortable writing spot. Preferably two or three. (I like the big chair in the den, the Borders Cafe, and of course my room.)
2. Keep something to drink constantly. Water, juice, coffee, energy drinks, you pick your poison of choice.
3. When your fingers start to hurt, get up. You can't write if you can't type. This would be an excellent time to get a voice recorder and make your S.O. type for you. Get's them involved.
4. Take out meals, one-pot meals, and any kind of soup you can put in a crock pot are a must. You wanted to try that Vegan Chilli? Go for it.
5. Get up and move. Stiff joints are no good for anyone. Every hour that you're writing, get your butt up and stretch.
6. Eye drops, lots of eye drops. I prefer Rohto V and Similasan.
7. Keep music. I suggest several playlists. One for general writing mayhem, one for passionate scenes, and one for when you want to throttle every character in your novel.
8. Keep your writing area neat. Otherwise when you go to pull up those notes, they may be in Saskatchewan.
9. Shower. Bathe. Just keep clean. A miasma of funk only gets you sprayed with Febreeze and that stings the eyes.
10. Spend time with your loved ones. They'll appreciate it more after not seeing you for a few days. Pets are included in this list.
Those are my 10 rules on how to survive NaNo. Good luck and good novelling.

| NANO |
[Oct. 31st, 2009|03:49 am] |
Headcount! How many of you are doing NANO this year? Are we friends on there yet?
Add me if you haven't.
I don't really see us starting at Midnight. We're going to the bar and possibly (depending on the level of trashed we are when we leave the bar) going to a Halloween party. In fact, I don't see myself being able to sit down and actually work on NANO until sometime in the afternoon on the 1st, but we'll see.
EITHER WAY, I'm determined to win this year since I slacked off at about 13,500 words last year.
I'm also trying to get through Lolita since a certain muse of mine keeps raving about it and I haven't read it in about ten years or so. So, I don't know exactly how active I'll be on the rp front. I never try to assume. We shall see.
Bed time.
ETA: OH YEAH. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! |

Hm. I would like to make a some clarification. I'm not commenting anonymously because I have nothing to hide.
Not all of us create a character with the intent to be loved and popular. In fact, I prefer playing the ones people IC wouldn't like and I've done that for years now.
Asher was never written to be popular. He was written to be as annoying as he is. He's a drama nerd and I mean really, LOOK at his pb. Asher was based off several people I went to high school with and being only 19, he like most people that age, still have a certain mentality that doesn't stretch very beyond high school. He's hyperactive. It's annoying. If he really annoys you that much, then I guess he's done his job at being himself. Thank you.
He's taken 3 trips since the game started. 1 was an overnight trip to Connecticut with another character to go to a concert. The round trip at the time cost about $320 and he didn't miss any class. He drove with Mori and Fiona to Florida (where I might add, the teams have had games so it isn't that unrealistic) and missed his Friday class, but was back in time for school on Sunday. And now, when he went during Fall Break (which a lot of you in game haven't paid attention to school schedule at all because you've had your kids going to class during the fall break. Not that hard to check the school website) to visit his family in Vegas and he'll be missing class for 2 more days. In total he'll have missed his MWF class 3 times and his TTH class 2 times. As for the money for the wedding. They didn't spend more than $1,200 in total on it. They split the bill. Every major expense has been researched and thought out.
He's not spending an outrageous amount of money he doesn't have. And for the masquerade, Fiona's father has money he's loaned them. I'm not saying it was the wisest way to spend money, but he's 19. He doesn't care about being money savvy at 19. It's not his personality. He's not making wise decisions because he's still a kid. He jumps before he thinks. He makes random choices. He's got issues cause everyone has issues at this age. He's dramatic because he's a drama major. IDK how things are at UNC because I never went, but the drama department at ASU was insane. I spent a majority of my time after high school around them and Asher's mild compared to some of those personalities.
The cow thing. I posted in the ooc comm about it and was up for Asher taking any sort of fall for it, no matter the consequences. Crazy shit happens at colleges. And, for the record, cows can get upstairs not down, and it would've been cool if they had been stopped. I was up for whatever happened in that circumstance.
Homosexuality was an issue all of my friends had to deal with and learn about themselves, whether they were gay or not. College was when they began to come out of the closet. It happens that way for some people because in college you're really beginning to figure yourself out and you're more free to express yourself. Asher's trying to figure that out for himself at the moment. Should he have jumped into marriage? No, not at all. He's dealing with the consequences of it. He made a stupid decision. It happens. I don't know how to play characters that are perfect at everything and make all of the right choices. That'd be boring.
If you don't like him, tough shit. I do my research and put thought into my characters. I play off of what is given to me. And for the record, I've only rped out ONE sex scene with him and it wasn't even for ~firstyear nor with Fiona-s. Fiona-s and I aren't in it for the smut. I actually enjoy character development and writing to write. Maybe if you actually took the time to write with him, you'd learn there's more depth to him than his hyper activeness on the friends page. |

I feel like it's way too early for me to be up, yet it isn't. Job hunting again today. I need a job. I want a job. I just absolutely despise filling out these applications. My handwriting sucks and about half way through a pile of them my hand hurts so I don't want to be bothered with them. Can't I just walk in somewhere and be like "HIRE ME!" and give maybe a verbal application?
I met a handful of Emma's coworkers last night and it still completely sucks to me that I didn't get that job. I will never understand why since I'm overly qualified and I showed major interest in wanting to work there. I'm like a dream employee for a bookstore. She's certain they simply lost my application, since even the interview went really well. kjklj
I need to write stuff up for Tevin and Asher. Might as well since it's early. I still have sharpie all over me. At least it's only marks and I haven't been labeled someone's dirty little pixie.
I thought I had more to say, but it's only just after 8:30am on my body's biological clock. Coherency isn't a strong point at the moment.
ETA Oh yeah, with NANO coming up. I apologize in advance for those of you who have my writing journal added. By now most should be aware of how paranoid I get about leaving my work on my computer only to have it eaten by technology. So, I will be posting everything nightly in my writing journal and on google docs. Least its only a month. |
