Sunday, I know what you mean. I put things off like crazy.
And way to participate in Nano!!! I reached my goal two years ago and was so exhausted, I haven't bothered trying again since!

writing on my Nano (but on the plus, I'm at 30k! That's amazing for me! I'm 60% done with my first novel!)
That's very exciting! Meantime, what the heck is a Nano?

Thankya! It's an amazing rush. And it's a great cover for the entire month...mom asks "so, you looking for a real job?" (She thinks I waitress at a bar.) "Nope, too busy writing!" <--studious face
Stella, you're coming to the Austin 'fest, right? Y'know...ummm...cuz I have a friend who'd be REALLY happy if you were there.... *scuffs foot against the ground, looks away innocently*

EE, it's "NaNoWriMo". The writing challenge thing that Yekhefah posted about awhile back. A bunch of folks are doing it now. Me, maybe next year. (Wait, I'll have a six month old baby by then. Hmm. Perhaps not.)

Nanowrimo! (www.nanowrimo.org)
Basically, in the merry merry month of November, all volunteers commit to writing a 50k novel from the 1st through the 30th. End of the month, you get the terrific feeling of knowing that you can actually call yourself a writer, having in fact written something finally. :D Yek started a thread on it, it's probably about 5 pages back now. Anyway a bunch of SWers are doing it this year with varying degrees of success. I'm only afraid for myself because I am about to be surrounded by my extended family for 5 days and writing is not gonna happen methinks.

*blush* I'm actually writing a children's story. Well I hate calling it that, it's not like "Pat the Bunny" or "Everybody Poops" or anything (and it's so very weird that only about 3 pages ago, Sunday has already referenced "everybody poops"). It's like how "A Wrinkle in Time" is a "children's story." Or I guess the Harry Potter series. Maybe "young adult" sounds better. Gahh I hate genres.
Anyway my story is set in a different world, and entirely in the desert. The main characters are children, two about 11 and one who is 15; they are trying to save their mother, who is having complications with her pregnancy. Quest ensues, they find that their mother's health is part of a bigger threat that may affect their entire village and the whole desert if left unchecked. It sounds ubercheesy probably but I really like my characters and they keep twisting the plot in ways I never saw coming. It's fun times.

AFAIK. I'd guess it'll be a weekend regardless, probably early in January---right after New Year's would be great but I haven't seen any definitive dates mentioned yet.
Uhhh...my friend is squeeing in her special place.

i went tanning today for the first time in like 2-3 weeks. yay me! but i also cancelled my package since im graduating in a month and i wont be near that tanning salon at all.. so now i have to start a new one, and im too lazy to do that.
i ordered a tall, peppermint white choc mocha frappucino with no whipped cream at starbucks. they gave me a grande, peppermint mocha (no white chocolate) frap with whipped cream. >:( the whipped cream was daaaaamn good though, i practically licked the cup lol. but i did not need all that fat!
school was creepy today. there was like NO noise in my building, no one in the halls, all the entrences but one were blocked off with police tape, there were cops circling the building, walking up and down the halls, and a bunch of them in the lobby with a police dog. that alone was enough to freak me out.

my randomness: I'm going to apply for a bartending/cocktailing job today. Wish me luck! Now I've got to log off and start making myself look all cute. Getting hired on the spot would be lovely. :yes: But I'd settle for getting hired at all.

Last night this Mexican dude kept trying to get me to go home with him. I did three lapdances for him, and the whole time he kept trying to think of different ways to beg me to go back to his hotel. At one point he whined, "Give me a number."
I made a show of thinking for a moment and announced, "Twelve."
He looked confused and said, "Twelve what?"
I grinned innocently and said, "You said to give you a number. Twelve was the first number I thought of!"
"No," he groaned, "give me a REAL number."
"Twelve IS a real number!" *smile, wiggle* "Another dance?"

I have a stye or something. The rash covering my mouth hasn't completely healed up yet, and this morning I woke up with my right eyelid all huge and puffy. It feels all squishy from all the fluid in it. So gross. I really, really would like to call off work tonight but can't... does anyone know if it's safe to put makeup on or should I leave my eyes au naturel?

OW. My stye is now very badly swollen and it hurts and it's starting to ooze a little. My rash is better but still hasn't gone away. Should I call off work tonight? I really want to go in and make some money but if I'm going to have a puffed-up oozy eye I don't know whether I'll actually make any money, even if I go in glasses and no eye makeup!
*whine*
This shit always happens when I'm making money and doing okay.

Ohhh the war of indecision.
If I say no, I miss out on Stella encouragement! Wah!
If I say yes, I might have to do some freakin CREATIVE rewriting to adjust to the sudden obsession with sex that all my characters inexplicably develop. Ahem, my 11/15yo characters.
Bah to art imitating life! I want soft girlybits encouragement, dammit!
Yek, do you have any bare minerals or something similar? I wouldn't put anything but totally natural makeup on your eye if it's oozy....maybe break out a pirate costume and eyepatch? (And this is the 2nd time today Sunday has referenced pirates! Be she unoriginal? Yarrr!)

I am jealous of your word count. I was on a roll until I hit 17,640 and now I'm stuck. My two ladies are starting to get all cozy together finally, but I'm unsure how to make the leap from familial love to sexual love. And they are STILL not to Darwin yet. I had no idea how long it would take them to get from Brisbane to Darwin... but at least I knew about the monsoon and they didn't. Bwahahaha. They are wet muddy girls in their Holden Jackaroo!
I think I'll make it stop raining for a little while and then strand them in Katherine with a flood. That might be fun.

I just saw this girl, D. I used to work with her at my old club, and I heard she got really heavy into coke. Last I saw her she was full-figured in a good way. Big, but the guys loooved her curves, for real. She was sooo hot! Now she's way strung out and so skinny! I can't believe her curves are gone. I mean, I wanna be skinny, but I would have loved to be curvey if I had her proportions. It made me so sad to see her. She's skinny, but good lord, she was hot with her curves! Makes me scared of drugs. And I can't believe how fast she got strung out... damn..

...and even as I type this, the rain is slacking off a little. Do I have Yekhefah to thank for that? :)

:laughing: If I could make it stop raining today, I would. I love the rain but poor K is trying to shoot a softball game outside today and the rain is totally boning him in the ass.
And I only control the weather between Tennant Creek and Darwin today. If you're driving a Jackaroo up the Stuart Highway this evening, watch out. You're in for it!

Woo! I did my french presentation! And the prof only corrected mon français twice. And apparently he nodded through a lot of it (which is good-I don't look at people when I have to speak in public, so the girl who sits behind me told me so!). I sucked at the follow up questions, b/c I was shaking, but it's done! Yay!
Now to do a million other things.
