From a post by Calanoriel on the NaNo forums:
We few, we happy few, we band of authors;
For they today that sheds their ink with me
Shall be my sibling; be we ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle our condition:
And non-writers in the world now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their day jobs cheap whiles any speaks
That wrote with us upon NaNoWriMo!
(yes, that is like the speech from Shakespeare’s Henry V.)
Still working on the NaNovel. At least I got them out of the brothel. Almost.

Twilight
StandardSo I saw the midnight show of Twilight last night. I liked it more than I thought I would. It was surprisingly good for a movie adaptation of a book, and I think most people would be satisfied with it.
I like going to the midnight shows, because you know people who go to them are just as excited about the movie as you are, and they (theoretically) understand it. Also, they usually have funny dialogue. I’m pretty sure the guy sitting behind me with his four other female friends was gay, which made for some hilarious comments whenever Rob Pattinson came on screen. He did play a very pretty vampire. Though he does have a bit of wild-eyed scary expressions, which, I suppose are okay for this type of movie…
(Slightly spoilery, I guess…)

This isn’t my best. I’ve done 480 words in 10 minutes before, but I’m trying to fill time in the story before the bad guy comes along and it’s hard to improv that. Just trying to get word count goal for the night. Almost there!
Halfway
StandardSo it’s the Ides of November, and NaNo is halfway done. And I’ve written 25k+ words, so I’m right where I’m supposed to be. I don’t know where the story is supposed to be, but that’s part of the fun, isn’t it?
Have an excerpt.
I voted.
StandardI left work early and only had to wait for about 15 minutes. I did my homework on the and went through pretty fast.
Normally there are less than 300 voters at my polling place. I was somewhere in in the 1100s. Holy cow.
Did you get your sticker?
I’ll be watching for the results.
VOTE
StandardPlease go out and vote, people. It’s important. Don’t forget about the propositions. Do your homework and make the best choice for you.
I hope you don’t have to wait in line too long. I’m a little worried because the Secretary of State website lists me as being NOT registered, even though I voted in this year’s primary and my parents have the postcard listing registered voters in the household, and I’m on it. Hopefully there won’t be any problems.
Exercise your rights and vote!
Happy Pumpkin Day
Standard
get yours here.
I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween. Boo!
I hope you all have a wonderful Halloween. Boo!
PS: NaNo starts tomorrow! I’m excited to get writing. For a synopsis of this year’s story, read on…
Where I Stand
StandardSometimes I wonder why I take quizzes that tell me what I already knew, but it’s nice to be validated, I guess. Borrowed from Scott’s blog.
| You are a Social Moderate (43% permissive) and an… Economic Liberal (25% permissive) You are best described as a: Democrat

NaNo kickoff this Saturday. Holy cow. Where did October go? Sheesh. At least I have an idea. Not a plot, mind you. An idea. But the plot will come. Oh yes, it will.
Coincidence
StandardBones is investigating a murder on an island with the same name as the street I grew up on. Things like that make me blink.
Less than a month to both NaNo and the election. I’ll have a lot more fun with one than the other. I’ll leave you to guess which one.
Colors
StandardThere was a rainbow in the east while I was walking home, and it made me smile.
That is all.
