Writing and Anime

Because that's about all I've been doing. Actually, editing and anime but whatever.

Here's the basic rundown:

Paper Towns has given me so many ideas and John Green's style is really just easy and fun to read. I just like him, I think.

The new Lupin III series (The Woman Named Fujiko Mine) is kind of awesome. I'd never seen the original Lupin III but I'm pretty much up to speed on the basic character relationships. Also, Oscar. New character for this series, sweet guy, thin as a rail, dark, curly hair, wears high-heeled boots with his uniform and seems to have some gender-identity weirdness and a borderline-psychopathic crush on his commanding officer, Zenigata. In short, most if not all of the things I like. So, that's another unhealthy obsession. *crosses it off the list*

Sometimes, I wonder what a psychiatrist would say about me?

I've been editing. In fact, I've been editing things that aren't mine. Admittedly, I do that all the time, but this time the person knew I was editing it. And it was actually kind of fun.

I have other stuff to do but in between all that, what remains of this month will be spent preparing for Camp NaNoWriMo. Which means the outline I'm working on because I can't sleep should probably be at least some degree of finished. And the outline for August. I'm just planning stuff all over the place, aren't I?

That August session is gonna suck though, because the story is just so uplifting/depressing that I'm not even sure which one's going to win out. Either way, it's gonna be rough.

I'm sorry for the lack of updates, guys. I just haven't felt like saying much.

I'm settling in, at least. We've been taking walks every day around this little patchwork town and that's been fun. Aside from the bumblebees. I mean, they're cute and all, I just don't want them bumbling into me.

... Going back to anime, I'm actually a little emotionally wrecked over episode 6 (seriously, Fujiko, you do not use Oscar's feelings like that. What part of you thinks he's emotionally stable?) so I think I'm just going to curl up and possibly cry and hopefully be able to sleep.

Or I could just stay awake seeing as it's 5 in the freaking morning. *headdesk*

Whatever...

Good day/night everybody. I will try not to disappear on you like that again but, as always, I make no promises. For now, I'm going to roll around on my bed, in physical pain for a fictional character and then after maybe an hour, we'll see how we feel. It's already light here and it's throwing me off...

Bye, guys~ Don't write anything I wouldn't write.

The Adventures of RambleSpazz

And the adventure continues... I'm also sorry for the length of this post.

Otherwise known as 'Companies I now really like'. Why? Because, according to my information, they are 'cruelty-free', meaning that they do not test on animals. Anyone who knows me well knows that I don't like animal testing and things like that. I just find it all rather pointless. But these companies are pretty cool, from what I know of them.

Also, nail art. If you recognise any of these companies, you probably know that a lot of them have nail lacquer. Part of the reason for that is because I also found something called 'Bundle Monster Image Plates' which are small metal plates with engraved designs on them used for nail art. I'm not sure how the discovery of these led to me wanting to buy from cruelty-free companies in the future but somehow it happened. Huh.

All of this sort of came about from me wanting to figure out the looks and styles of my different characters. I have a few fashion sketches for certain characters and think it should be a part of my character creation, especially if a character is planned for more than one book or story. That just sort of bled over into an interest in hair, makeup and nails, I think.

What else? Oh yeah.

So this year is kind of my year to stop apologising so much. I am a very strange person and I find that I feel way better overall if I'm just true to that so... I'm going to be. That might not seem like such a big deal to some of you but it is a big deal to me since I was always nervous about what people might think of me even if I told myself I wasn't.

So I'm making a conscious effort not to do that anymore.

Aside from that, I think watching things on YouTube is actually helping. Like, because I can see other people doing things, I can see that most of it is pretty easy if you have the right tools and that makes me want to go out and do things. Weird, I know. But it's making me wish I had a good video camera. And some kind of skill.

Also, Sherlock. BBC Sherlock. Best show. That is all. /random

Just another random update really. There is no point to any of this. At all. As you can all probably tell, I'm rather tired and I should probably sleep soon. So, goodnight, I hope you all have a wonderful day and I will see you soon~

Part 2 - NANOWRIMO!

Good morning guys, it's Tuesday, November 1st which means it's the first day of NaNoWriMo!

As I type I'm sitting at my kitchen table with a veggie biscuit and thinking about my writing. As boring as that sounds, it's actually quite awesome as it's giving me a chance to come up with opening lines and think about projects I may be able to dump on my roommate.

Strangely enough, I'm not insanely amped like I was worried I'd be. Granted it's really early yet so that might change. Anyway...

There seems to a lot of tension around. There's just a lot of low-grade anger in the room. I can't really explain it. Also, my computer's doing that thing where I have to keep moving the mouse for the page to load. Annoying.

I'm clicking through the Aboptables forum on NaNo and looking for a kick-start. After writing around 13k yesterday, I'm a little... um... yeah that. Where your words aren't, um... good anymore?

Actually, I'm doing fairly well, all things considered. I actually like what I have on the page right now so that's reassuring. It has taken me all day of bouncing back and forth to write this post and for some reason, I've very tired right now. I think what I'll wind up doing is maybe eating something and then just going to bed. Everything's on my nerves right now.

You know what I actually want? Pasta. I don't know why, but pasta.

I wound up using the lid of my clothes hamper for storing my flower pens. It was an interesting solution, to say the least. I also have a lot of cupcakes to make still. And possibly cookies, if I'm not too drug out by then.

So that's were my life's at. And I'm going to go back to it now. Yeah.

...

See ya~

Gentlemen...Behold! (or UPDATE OF POINTLESSNESS)

An Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference!

Seriously, behold: Milestone on Amazon.

*for simplicity's sake, the wall of unintelligible spazzing has been removed. The keyboard is recovering in a local repair shop after an attack of projectile vomiting.*

In other news... I am a horrible person. Now let me explain that. I say that jokingly because I just realised that pretty much every story has had some horrible crime committed in it. Here's the current list (not all from the same story, obviously) :

Theft, Motor vehicle theft, Assault, Assaulting an officer, Felony battery, Criminal mischief, Disorderly conduct, Stalking, Contributing to the delinquency of a minor, Prostitution, Drug trafficking, Rape, Unlawful hacking, Hacking into a government database, Conspiracy, Sedition, Murder in the first and second degree, Serial murder, Torture, Treason, Carrying illegal weapons, Crossing territories without authorisation, Preforming illegal experiments, Practicing medicine without a license (or with an expired/invalid license) and Cannibalism.

I am a horrible person. But in a sense that's a good thing for a writer to be. It makes for an interesting story, if nothing else. Of course, this list is nowhere near complete, I'm sure, but it's good enough for now.

Also, I'm sorry about disappearing like that. I'm just flat-out bad about updating things ^^; I kind of need someone to staple an update schedule to my forehead or something. But don't actually do that. Because that would be very painful.

Thank you,

Jezzy

Did I lose track of where I was going with all that? I most certainly did.

Back on topic, I'm panicking over SeptNo. I'm not even at 20k as of this writing. And that needs to be fixed, like now. Problem is that my brain won't stop spewing out other ideas. I'm glad for them, sure but it means I'm not getting anything done on SeptNo and that stresses me out. On the upside, the crochet cupcakes are coming along a lot faster than I thought they would. This is making me happy. I can't even see like half of my desk thanks to all the baking cups.

I, right now, am going to type until I'm some degree of caught up. Cole is frustrating me and Morgan is keeping secrets so this could get interesting. I shall return... some day. Before the end of the month. With cupcakes. *rolls away*

W00T~!

is the word I use to describe this.

That, my friends, is the AugNoWriMo 2011 Anthology up for sale on CreateSpace. And I'm in it.

So, as I said before, W00T~! (And it should also be up on Amazon in 1-2 weeks.)

I am insanely nervous. I know it's not really that big of a deal but it's still awesome so I'm still going to spazz about it. A lot. In my head so I don't annoy you all.

*spazz dance*

I WON~!!

I double won!! 8D

NaNoEdMo - 100.1%
MarNoWriMo - 22,705 / 20,000

I should be able to throw a chapter or two up on my dA account soon, so be ready for that ^^ (Also, is anyone else having problems with the EdMo site? I'm not getting the 'Winner's stuff' tab under 'My EdMo' yet...)

Congrats to everyone who finished and Good job anyway to those who didn't. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go fall on my face.
