Fourth try, first win. I'm so excited, and I'm about to celebrate with pie and going to bed before midnight and being obnoxious on your flist.

NaNo stuff
I had a rally day today! According to the merit badges, a rally day is 5k, and I wrote 5004 words today, which makes up for the two days I skipped. w00t! Technically speaking, 454 of those words were written after midnight, but I didn't get up until 1:30 pm, so it's within 12 hours, and I'm counting it.

How much of a loser do you have to be to have to call your mother 3 times to find out she's canceling plans with you? Nano novel, I'm returning to you. After I order my pizza. -

It's a thing where you earn pointz by showing up, and then you can supposedly redeem the pointz when they get their inventory back.

Irrelevant thought
I think ending with a dance-off at a zombie prom actually makes up for the saccharine absurdity that was the Wizards vs. Vampires mini-series on Wizards of Waverly PlaceActually, an add-on. I bought a locket on etsy, and then I got an email that the seller is on vacay and won't be able to ship for three weeks. And I just found it at a site I ( Read more... ) -
Question about racism and racial sensitivity
So I was having a discussion with a coworker about something he heard Ann Coulter say on C-SPAN. The quote, as I understood it, went as such -- "If the first black president keeps going the way he is, he'll be the only black president ( Read more... )
