The winning word: boat.

Winning sentence: There are really pictures, too, of me and Hai together on a huge fishing boat.

Half Way Home

At this rate, I will be finished on the 20th.

For QWEST

Because I hardly ever talk. Actually, because this was the first time I was there and I was actually bursting to talk. But I thought it was kind of off-subject. So here it is.



I don't understand why coming out has to be a big deal. I mean, I know that it is, but I don't know why it has to be. I try so hard to figure out what the difference between hetero- and homosexuality is.

Let me clarify. This is my understanding: hetero: girl likes boy. Homo: girl likes girl (or boy likes boy).

That's it. That's the difference. So why is it such a big deal when someone is gay? Why does everyone get so freaked out? (By everyone, let me clarify, I do not mean literally everyone. I mean the people who freak out.) I mean, what do they think the difference is? Is there some difference between hetero and homo relationships that I'm not aware of?

This is how I think it should be. Little Eliza Jane comes home after school, and says something like, "Can I have a friend over for dinner? And we're kind of dating, so don't embarrass me in front of him, okay?"

Mom's all like, "Sure, whatever, sweetheart. But I'm making liver and onions for dinner."

Next week, little Eliza Jane comes home after school, and say, "Me and Little Jimmy broke up. But now I'm dating this really cool girl, is it okay if she comes over for dinner?"

"Of course, sweetheart. But I'm making meat surprise for dinner."

What does it really matter who anyone's attracted to? I'm not saying that everyone should be bisexual, I just don't understand why they have to make such a big deal out it if you aren't straight.

Maybe I just watch too much Captain Jack. "You people and your quaint categories."

character generator

I found this "cool" character generator online ...

I was trying to describe a character of mine in some sort of detail, except that looks are not very important to me. Hair doesn't count of course.

So the character I used was

"A curvaceous woman wearing a blue skirt. She has sunken blue eyes and her bushy bleach-blonde hair is in a feathery bob. She acts bossy, and has a missing finger."

At first, I was like 'no way' and was going to mix and match them. But (except for the hair) I pretty much used it.

Even the missing a finger.

She's sinewy, and wearing a blue skirt. Her eyes are suken and a dull blue gray; her hair long, red and held back by a blue scrunchie. She seems to be some kind of leader, the boss of the company maybe. She's missing one finger.

I can't help do a double take. ... Missing a finger! It's her!

Dedication (from my novel)

For my grandma, Becky Downstairs

who dreamed I wrote 200 pages of my nano and still hadn't decided on a topic

and came up with a new idea for every paragraph I wrote

"You want to go see Burnt Taco tonight?"

"I can't. I have nano."

"Oh my god! Is it contagious?"

Return of the Nano

So I did it tonight. I'm not tired.


DON'T CLICK THIS

Just kidding.

Nano Update

With only 27 hours to go until Nano officially starts (that's if I did my math right, of course, which I don't count on but seriously how hard can it be?)

Anyway, with just over a day to go, I've completely changed my novel. Just saying.

I just have too many ideas. And then I have this one really good idea. And I can tie all these little ideas into the one big good idea. I'm thinking about making a PB wiki to put everything into. I think those are so great for storing my little pieces.

Like lately, I've been addicted to Torchwood. Because of John, of course, but I just loved the episode with Tosh and Mary. I think I must just be old fashioned, I can't believe they can show that stuff on TV. And don't get me started on Lisa, and Ianto. Seriously. (But just for the record, if she was my gf, it would have gone differently. I think I'll write a story about it.)

But anyway, Captain Harkness just makes want to have a secret organization where I can beat up all my employees. So I've got this little Elf Hunting organization (the modern day ECC. Does anyone remember the original with little Jeri Holt and Hannah Jo?)

But anyway, it's about all the things people that do that bother me, and what I wish would really happen. I don't tell the story from the leader's pov though, beacause I don't want to be in that position.

But anyway, (for the third paragraph in a row), I'll write more about the plot later. In november, perhaps.

Pre Nano

I am too busy watching this video to work on my prenano. :(

And yeah, I know they aren't really lesbians, and I didn't even really like the song when I first heard it, but it keeps getting stuck in my head. And that girl with the short hair is kinda cute.
