I think I just did the single most disgusting thing I've ever done in my life, which is saying something, considering the fact that I've spent the last 9 years living in Battle Ground. (And no one lives in Battle Ground for that long without doing some pretty disgusting things ( Read more... )

I finally finished the prologue of my NaNoWriMo fic, which ended up being a grand total of 17 pages (single-spaced). Bit wordy for a prologue, but there are four protaganists for this story and I had to introduce all of them, so there you have it.

For those who don't know, NaNoWriMo started six days ago, and so far it's been going pretty well for me.

OMFG, I MUST have this!

Just got back from Kumori Con last night. Even after sleeping in till noon, I'm still tired, but fortunately I've got that con "buzz" keeping me awake. Anyway, here's my report of all the excitement and drama that went down this weekend.

I am so unbelievably sick of my parents' bickering. I swear to God, they can't even be in the same room together without fighting over the cats or the money or something, and it's driving me mad. It's driving everyone mad. One of these days, someone's going to snap and go on a homicidal killing spree ( Read more... )
