I'm bragging

I'm a writer! A novelist!

I finished my nanowrimo!! (nanowrimo.org) This was my fourth year trying it. The first year I got about 10k words, then 12, then 20, and this year I finally finished!

I got to 51600 words tonight!! That's about 200 pages. That doesn't mean it's good, or even decent. It means I am capable of writing that much. Good wasn't the goal. I don't know how much I'll edit, and I probably won't be showing it to anyone anytime soon, sorry. Like I said, it isn't much good. I loved my characters too much to completely ruin their lives, which would have made the story a lot better, but I just couldn't do it.

So yeah, there is my bragging for the day :)

thanks for putting up with it :)

love yous!

I feel beautiful with red hair.

(dyed it red again today)

(I sometimes feel beautiful with brown hair too)

also, I am brilliantly good at procrastinating.

According to my six word memoirs,

I like apples more than candy

and blueberries more than boys.

Someone remind me of that now, please.

Saturday...

Hey friends!

I could have slept in today but my body woke up at 8. oh well. At least I woke up on my own, not to an alarm or people yelling outside. Today I just have a bunch of homework/projects/cleaning but I'm putting it off right now. I would have been sleeping...

My week was good enough, I think my computer has a virus though :( I took it to the tech place but the guy didn't believe me since I have a mac. It made me so mad. I think I'll go back next week and try to explain to them that actually I DO know what I'm talking about. Other than that it was great! I didn't stress (ok let me rephrase that. I didn't have a breakdown) about Russian so I think I might have done better on the test. (by better I mean passing.) Professors are starting to pile on the projects. urg. My roommate went home this weekend. :) I like her, but it's nice to be alone sometimes and have the tv OFF. aaahhhhh. :) Nanowrimo starts soon! (nanowrimo.org) I don't have a single idea. so since I pretty much know I won't finish, I think I'm just going to do something wild and crazy and get as far as I get. :)

Have a lovely weekend!

~P

When will I give it up and just LIVE?

like I have been saying in so many previous posts??

update...

Nothing super exciting has happened lately. I had fall break, that was really refreshing! I got to see Sarah! Classes are going all right mostly, except Russian... but it's my own fault for taking it. urg. I've got swinging (like at a playground- not dancing) a few times with my friend Lara. (I love playgrounds!) My dance class is amazingly fun! Unfortunately it only meets two days a week for fifty minutes. sad. I'm loving the cooler weather and can't wait for winter! So yeah, life is pretty good. I neeeeed to learn how to talk to boys though. just friends ;)

love!

highlights of latelies

1. went puddle jumping! so fun. :)

2. *tried* to play hopscotch, and then drew a pretty landscape on the ground instead. (both of these things with Lara) (The best part was not caring that people saw us and thought we were dumb.)

3. got to see the tail end of some fireworks from the football game. My roomsie and I RAN down the stairs and past the other dorm so we could see them. it was kind of exciting.

4. looked at the moon last night with Lara. It's always nice to appreciate something with someone else.

5. had a dance party in my room on saturday night. (mostly just me dancing, but it was still super fun. :D
