with words I thought I'd never speak

I wrote a bit more on my original fic, Written Truth, and I got to 4390 words. omg am so behind!! >.<

but then I was looking through a few picture folders and I saw one that just inspired me, so, in the past... I dunno, 4 hours, I've written 4110 words on something completely new, called either The Citadel or The Grid, I'm not sure yet. it's a sci-fi Monaboyd AU, and I'm still kinda in shock over the fact that I'm writing sci-fi. srsly! but it's coming along great and I really love it so far, so I'm thinking maybe I should switch this one to my NaNo fic, or maybe try to write them side-by-side. I dunno if I'll get to 50k on either of them if I do that, though, especially this late in the game...

also, I am rapidly becoming obsessed with Apologize by Timbaland. I've been listening to it nonstop since I started writing this evening.

also also, tomorrow I will try to post that picspam I promised. :D

should I post excerpts of both fics? I'll try to do that tomorrow too.

i dunno how i'm going to survive today. i want sooo badly to just fall asleep and STAY asleep.

am up to 2,804 in nano, 'cause i stayed up last night to write a bit. i'll post an excerpt whenever i have time; i wanted to do one today, but that's probably not gonna happen.

there's a guy in the class that kinda freaks me out a bit. seems nice and everything, but he's just weird. i kinda hope we don't get put in the same groups today but then again, the girl in my group was nice, so... i dunno. i can't really think at the moment. my brain is on a constant loop of "must SLEEP, must SLEEP"

although i did manage to fill in a few words from yesterday's crossword and complete the issac asimov superquiz (the subject was math).

anyway. i hafta get ready to leave. and pack lunch and stuff. omg so tired.

there are so many things that have contributed to my insane gleefulness today. here's a few:

The Incline of Trees (formerly lotruniversity) is being updated with edited, complete posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays. *cue MASSIVE FLAILING and possible SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION*

It's confirmed: Eric Bana and Karl Urban are going to be in Star Trek together! (link via legomyarrow) For those The Archer/The Flag fans on my flist, MAJOR YAY.

push_pull_push has been updated, and OH MY GOD, if you're not reading that fic yet, YOU SHOULD BE. It is seriously hot, both this chapter and the story on the whole.

Brokeback Mountain came in the mail today, so I can FINALLY WATCH IT. (soon, anyway)

I've written a History Boys ficlet, a CSI ficlet, and a bdsm-y Monaboyd ficlet, and they all just have to be edited before I post them. \o/ Also, I posted RunAway today, which is always a source of great yay.

I think my SCAD essay is nearing completion. I sure as hell hope it is, anyway.

1. Today, on the way to school, I was nattering on about something (my mom was driving), and suddenly I said "GOLLUM!" The car in front of us had the license plate "GOLLUM" and the thing that goes around the license plate (I dunno what it's called) had the end of the ring poem, "one ring to bring them all / and in the darkness bind them." hahaha, my mom said "Oh look, there's another LotR fan." :P

2. I dislike the subject of slavery. I don't hate it, at least not as much anymore, but I really don't like it. I mean, of course I don't like slavery, but I don't even like the topic of it, intellectually. Religion, on the other hand, I have some interest in. I'm not very religious myself, but I find the subject very intriguing. So, what do I do? I start writing a fic about slavery. *headdesk* I do have one in progress about religion too, though. lol

3. Math class. Precalculus. Trigonometry. So far, it's not been anything too difficult, and the instructor is nice and young and he explains things pretty well (even though I still had to ask my dad for help understanding my homework). I'm worried that it's going to get hard really fast, though. >.< I hate five-day-a-week classes.

4. Italian. The teacher (professeressa) loves my last name (which is Italian). She talks in Italian a lot, though. More than I expected for the first week of classes. And she doesn't explain everything she's saying, which is a bit stressful. So far, I've memorized the Italian alphabet, though, which is good, and my almost-two years of Latin are definitely helping.

5. Apparently I never posted about this! My mom kind of found out about my slashy online activities. I played it down, though, (okay, I lied) and admitted to very tame versions of what I actual read/write. Obviously I couldn't deny anything as she'd seen something, but apparently it wasn't anything too porny, so while it wasn't a good thing that she found out, at least I know that it could've been very much worse. And at least this way she knows something so I don't have to be quite as paranoid. LOL

6. The Incline of Trees (aka: lotruni) has been updated!!!!!!! omgomgomg GO AND READ. *incoherent flailing* 

7. Next week, I think, I will begin posting something that I half want to keep as a surprise and half want to shout out to everyone. I'm very excited about it. :D

8. Dom. Just Dom. ♥

was about to reply to comments, but then realized i had to work on my essay some more. >.< so, will reply in person later, but for now, thank you for the "get well soon" type comments, they really cheered me up. ♥ :)

this is my predicament: i chose lotr to write an essay about. the assignment is to back up my opinion with facts and evidence. my opinion is pretty much that lotr is the best film(s) ever. so i wrote an essay and sent it to my mom for critique. and she says that i don't state my opinion at all, and that it's all straight facts, and that the essay has no personality or passion, and that if the class were a journalism class instead of a personal essay class, i'd get an A because i'm so succient and objective. >.< so that is one part of my problem. the other part is this: how do i write about lotr without getting TOO gushy and fangirlish about it? and without saying words like "fantastic", "stunning", and "awe-inspiring", etc. too much?

random note: today in the paper, there was a blurb about Lost's end date, which (of course) made me think of Dominic. right next to it was a blurb about PJ directing some movie that he and Fran and Phillipa wrote the screenplay for, which (of course) also made me think of Dom. there's no point to this little anecdote other than the fact that i found it amusing that they were right next to each other. lol i am easily amused.

a more completely random note: those Soup At Hand microwavable thingies are yummy and portable, and i want to take one to school with me the next time i'm on campus but not in class.

there are so many things i keep meaning to post about, but then i don't, because i just want to make this quick, but then i never get back to it and then it's so long afterward that i think "is it even worth it to post" and then i end up not posting, so then i have either no posts at all or a whole bunch of these meaningless type ones. and omg that was all one sentence. sorry. >.< i didn't mean to make this post so long, but it's just coming out that way. >.<

test updates: SAT2 went well, i think. it felt like i did okay. afterwards was a bruch which was good but also kinda too much, and then a meeting with the director and DoP, which was supposed to happen at a Starbucks but didn't at the last minute, and i was kinda counting on a drink to keep me from coughing the entire time, but anyway, the meeting went well. it's kinda weird though, the DoP kept like, looking at me, and it seemed like he was like... trying to reassure himself that i was laughing at his jokes? or something? dunno. that's what it seemed like, though. and he did it again tonight. or maybe he's just a weird, kinda creepy guy. >.<

and now, back to rewriting my essay. "again, with feeling."

brainspouse has been updated with my crack!art of good-angel!Raquel and bad-angel!Jen, LOL!

and then Raquel made icons! *giggles*

feel free to friend that comm for updates on weird stuff like that. :D

so my final is today. it's just a little 20 question multiple choice thing. the instructor even admitted that he would make it pretty easy because he just needs SOMETHING to grade us on besides our projects. this is the instructor that took over when the other guy died, so the whole class has been kind of floundering. >.< so anyway, I pretty much have my study guide memorized. should be easy.

one of the things I have to turn in is a "journal entry" of the film shoot, so I'll post that once I go through and change people's names and stuff for privacy. I also have to turn in a peer evaluation, which was hard, because I'm generally a nice person, and I didn't reallly like giving people low-ish marks, but then, I think this needs honesty, right?

in other news, I went to bed at midnight last night, only to wake up (well, I was already awake, so I just got out of bed) at 1am to spend about 2 hours writing a fic. it's nearing completion now. and it's insanely fucked up. I feel incredibly sorry for my Dommie. why do I love to hurt him so? :(

keeping with the fic-related news - I have a Dom/Ian thing to post, this new one to finish up and post, a Dom/Bean fic for angiepen over at the_challenger that's only half-written, so I have to finish that up and post it too, and of course, RunAway, which I worked on a little bit yesterday.

that's all for now. ta ta!

so the final for this class was easy as cake, as my Escaping Blame!Billy says. all that's left of this class is a critique of everyone's project (my group's is pretty good, even though I would've edited it differently. but whatever. s'what teamwork's about, yeah?).

Script class is already over; it ended yesterday. which is good and bad, because I did love that class. the final for that was just pitching the script to the entire class. which was not easy as cake. I thought it would be, and I had everything that I was going to say firmly in my mind, then when I stepped out in front of the ENTIRE CLASS, I flubbed it. not too badly, luckily, and better than some, but still. >.< should be getting an A out of that class, though, and hopefully an A out of this one. \o/

and speaking of Escaping Blame (wot? I mentioned it up there!), I finished writing the pre/sequel. and I like it. I love it, in fact. but see, the thing is, the pre/sequel can't be posted until after the main story, and I'm not going to post the main story until both it and RunAway are finished. but I'm working on writing again, and it's going alright. and in celebration, I give you a quote from Escaping Blame. *g*

Naturally, these curtains were fireproof, but it was Dom’s philosophy that, with enough alcohol poured on, nothing was fireproof.

I love this fic. more than RunAway, unfortunately. I just love it. I love writing it, and even reading through it, I still love it. I can't wait to post it!

what a long day. I'm about to fall asleep, really.

1) regularly scheduled co-op, and a biology test that I think I did reasonably well on. last week's test was horrible, though. also, I'm FINALLY caught up in LotR. *\o/* just finished TTT, and now we're doing a unit study on Fantasy and Poetry before picking up again with RotK. oh, I should post my little Gollum story...

2) first day of the weekend Career Counceling class. tons of fun, but loooong. there was one girl sitting next to me and we were talking about... something. I don't even remember. anyway, somehow the subject got around to her nephew, who's like, five or something. anyway, she said he goes around and paints people's nails and does their hair and picks out their clothes, and she said that the whole family is just waiting to see if he's gay or just metrosexual. LOL! also, she reads fanfiction, which is a plus! I don't know if she reads slash or not, but with her attitude about her nephew, I bet she does. annnnd, there was this other girl who wants to be a politician, and she's really cute and really easy to talk to, so we chatted for a while in our little group. tomorrow we're going to actually analyze our Meyers-Briggs test results and research careers. but through the stuff we did today, apparently writing is like, my biggest passion ever. lol! another one of my passions is Dom. seriously. the instructor had this little list of criteria, and as I was thinking about it, I realized that I: spend a lot of time doing Dom-related activities (reading fanfic and articles, writing, drawing, looking at pics, watching lotr/lost), I get inspired by him, I get motivated by him (like you wouldn't believe), and... some other stuff on the list that I can't remember now. well, there's certainly worse things to be passionate about. *g*

side note: I didn't post RunAway yesterday (well now it's past midnight for me, so the day before yesterday, Thursday), because the chapter's only half-finished. but I'm working on it, I really am!

tomorrow/today: second day of weekend class - allll day long. then, after that's finished, I go straight to the theatre to re-shoot the play, because the actors all flubbed their lines last week.

also: Regional Vex Tournament in GA! root for... oh hell, I don't know the team name/number. root for Tony's team! LOL *wishes them good luck*
