with words I thought I'd never speak

I hit 45k and I'm about to fall asleep on my keyboard. I made it to my tentative goal for tonight, though, so I'm happy. I have 2 days to do the remaining 5k, and considering I haven't even started the two major action scenes, I'm hoping it'll go quickly.

and let's all just ignore the fact that I haven't done any homework tonight, though i did find the time to watch tv and go youtubing. *headdesk* I'm so tired. I wanna sleep. I'll go do that.

and my progress report (which I find really interesting): http://www.nanowrimo.org/NanowrimoUtils/ProgressReport/203923.html

so, on thanksgiving i was going to do a post of great yay which included birthday wishes for my lovely brainspouse, semi-gushing reviews of 2 fantastic movies, and other such happy things. but no, i forgot, and now it's several days later, and a ton of utter crap just came up. well, not just, but i'm just now realizing it.

( bad things 1 through 6... )

and now for some good news... watched episode 12 of torchwood today. captain jack harkness. pretty much the whole time i was like IANTOOOO. and OMG JAAAACK. and other such squealing noises. OMG IANTO/OWEN FIGHT FTW. owen's so mean though, wtf. poor ianto. the boss' (adorablesexyawesome) bit on the side. heee

does this count as a good thing? i've been reading porn like, nonstop all weekend. O.o some good, some not so good, and some where the authors didn't quite know how to form sentences.... yeah, that wasn't fun. but the rest was.

i drew a picture of a crawler from the citadel, and i was going to post it, but i haven't yet. i did scan it in, though. but then i sent the scan to tony's brother, who's in animation, and he said he'll see what he can do with it. so if he gets back to me with a 3D picture of it, i will post them both together.

i wanted to post so many things, but i just haven't. >.< things i will get around to posting sometime soon: review of August Rush (OMGADORABLE, I LOVED), review of Brokeback Mountain (which i FINALLY saw and OMG LOVED. OH MY GOD.), writing technique questions for all of you writers, a meme or 2, and.. OH right, a picspam! duh. ok. so, eventually, alright? okay. i'd better get to my math homework before i turn into a zombie.

also, ps: i still have Apologize on repeat omg. it's the ONLY song i've listened to while writing the citadel. and wtf, the movie Armageddon still kinda makes me cry. :(

oh, pps: did i tell you i've registered for next quarter's classes now? physics, italian II, writing fiction, and that's it so far. should i do a human development course on humour or do something with my robotics/interview guy to fill in the extra credits?

I not only made my goal of 20k last night, but I made it all the way to to 21k at the last minute! I would've written more (and I did, in fact, just by hand so I don't have a wordcount yet), but by sister is temporarily sleeping in here and she wanted me to go to bed. lol

For some strange reason, I woke up to find that I had been sleeping with a book of poetry. This is very odd, because I wasn't reading it last night and I'm not quite sure how it migrated from my nightstand to my bed. It wasn't very comfy... O.o

It seems like a waste to go in to school this week, since Thursday and Friday are off. Why bother for the rest of the week? Though of course I will go, because I haven't missed a day yet, except that first one that I couldn't help.

I did end up staying up until about 1:45am last night, though, because I spent all my time writing and hadn't done my homework, which is due in a couple of hours. It wasn't too bad, but I didn't quite finish a few of the problems.... >.< There's also a math quiz today, but I'm hoping with all my power to hope that it's going to be easy. In this section, about half of the concepts are really simple, and the other half is just like, bzuh? *sigh* I guess I'll see how it goes.

Also, my dreams last night were kind of strange, because I dreamed about a combination of Citadel characters (mainly Dom, Billy, Elijah, and Viggo) and math symbols. So I kept trying to put the guys into equations, and for part of it, they all had little 2s over their heads, and I was like "you can't take a square-root of a person!" I was so confused. ROFL

chapter 3  

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.

Anyway, I have to do several things before bed tonight:

- sketch next painting
- print out studio test
- email FIRST WA guy about interview (high priority)
- start math homework (moderately high priority)
- start Italian homework (low priority)
- write more (very low priority)
- pack backpack for tomorrow
- pack secondary backpack for tomorrow
- gather food for lunch/dinner tomorrow
- make a recording of myself reading the director's script (can wait until weekend)

holy shit, that's a lot. >.< and it's already 11pm!! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

...

I'm acting oddly calm for having an internal freak-out. O.o

not much new to report. I think I did pretty well on my Italian test. and apparently I got 1/2 points off for one question on that math test. booo.

in other news: if you're doing NaNoWriMo or if you just wanna watch us suffer, go join babybrothalova's new community write_more.

YAY, NEW HOUSE TONIGHT! and speaking of TV, I just watched another ep of Torchwood. is Jack one of the chosen ones? he lives forever... I'm simultaneously confused and amused by this show. but I love Ianto. :P
