subplots are stupid.

i suppose they're necessary, because otherwise the book would be somewhat boring, but still! they're annoying. i'm slightly bogged down in one of my little sub plots in my book. and i know it has to be in there, but i would really much rather be writing something more exciting than the main character (who's name is Lillianne) going out for lunch. booooooooooooring. at least i've sort of gotten out of there and now i can start having stuff happen.

(psssst. i'll give you a little teaser of what's coming up... shhhhhh don't tell anyone.... Lillianne comes home to find a head (not a real one) impaled on one of the springs that's sticking up out of her couch which is on the front lawn (all that part about the couch is explained beforehand). and the head is hers (why it's not real...). so it's a plaster head or whatever. that would certainly creep ME out...

AND I'M OVER 33000 WORDS!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i have no time to do a long and elaborate blog because i'm on a computer at school that has a 10 minute max, and i've sorta already used up my 10 minutes. i just wanted to let you all know that... I'VE GOT 27 004 WORDS IN MY BOOK NOW!!!!!!!!!! yeehaw. they say to have at least 33 000 by the end of the week, because after that, getting to 50 000 by november 30 is a snap. let's just hope so. i don't think i'll be done at 50 000 words though. i think i'll have that many before the deadline, but the story defnitely will not be stopping there.

i just scared about three pounds off my mum... i was trying to annoy hali and so i was following her all over the house, just staring at her and never smiling and she wanted to go have a shower and so i followed her into the bathroom, so she left and went to complain to my mum, so then my mum came into the bathroom and i was standing in the darkest corner, by the light switch and she reached over to turn the light on and didn't even see me when i was 3 inches away from her nose, and so the light came on and suddenly i was right there and she screamed!! it was soooo funny!!!!! hehehehe... i should work at project X next year....

i have made it to 25 000 words! yeehaw. and there was something else, some wonderful revelation of mine.... but i now have no idea what, and it saddens me. :< i really must do something about this shot short term memory of mine.. in my story, i had someone slash the main character's tires, and so it went to a shop to get fixed, and then i forgot about her having to go pick it up the next morning, and i had her driving all around town and then i was like.... oops. we've got to go back and fix this.

well my dryer had redeemed itself somewhat, because i found my other orange sock lurking in a different load. although it definitely has stolen other socks of mine and shipped them to narnia (all socks go to narnia as caitlin has pointed out).

i'm listening to Cirque music.... i really shouldn't... because now i want to be in it again, and might just go off and start working on my splits.. for a day or two until i get bored of trying regain any of my flexibility. on the good side, only my right wrist is still numb from giants on wednesday, and so i'm going to do some again this wednesday. hurrah! i've actually got some bruises. NOW they show up.. never mind last thursday, no now they come out and they're not even all that impressive either. if i were my mum (ie i bruised super, super easily) my arms would be completely black all the way up to my elbows, but since i'm me, i only have 3 tiny little bruises that you can't even see unless you're looking at them the right way. you'd think if i had to walk around with nerve damaged wrists for a week i'd at least have something to show for it, but no.

but enough of my wrists, i'm off to write some more of my book. i have decided that i've written enough into-ish nonsense, and it's time to start the real action of the whole thing.

and in other news, i saw finding nemo tonight at school. IT IS SO FUNNY!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love it.

i have a mutinous dryer. it ate one of my orange socks.

21 027 WORDS!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! now all i need to do is decide if i've got enough action left to really start into the juicy parts of the book, or if i'm going to need to do more pre-stalker rambling. it's so strange to think i only have 30 000 more words to write before i'm done, or rather, before i can qualify for my pin or whatever it is that you get when you exceed 50 000 words before midnight on november 30th. i also have to find out what time zone i'm in.. because it really would be a shame if i got 50 000 words done, but they thought that i was in a time zone 5 hours ahead of what i am, and then they thought i'd gone over the midnight deadline. 'twould be terrible, simply terrible.

18 793 WORDS IN MY STORY! YAYY!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

MOInK!! oooooh, the capitals weren't so universal there... at any rate, Caitlin, you should meet Fiona, because she is also a CSI nut, and all of her msn names reflect such. like, Is the glass half full or half empty...who cares, just dust it for fingerprints to see who drank it... hahahahahah..... and all other such names. it's great. and i have nothing more to say.

except that hali thinks she is going to get fat. HAH! she has about as much chance of that as a chiwawa's chances of survival after being sat upon by a 300 pound woman in a pink silk dress. or in any attire for that matter.

my wrists hurt. SOOOOO MUCH! last night was adult gym, and i was doing (or trying to do) giants on the cheat bars. and so for the gymnastics uneducated, cheats, is a bar that you strap your hands onto so that you don't have to worry about letting go and killing either yourself or someone else. and giants, are when you go all the way around the bar in a handstand (FUN!). anyway, so i was working away, and i was having troubles getting my swing high enough to actually get around the stupid bar, so Gutter (a coach and no that's not his real name) was helping me by giving me a good shove and getting me over the bar. anyway, the thing is, at the top, the tendency is to lift your head up so you can see what's going on cause you're going so darn slow (you're not supposed to go slow.. it's just that if you do, you lift your head) and then of course, because you've lifted your head, your arms go down just a little bit, and then the rest of you follows and you crash onto the bar if you can't get yourself away from it in time. luckily i didn't crash into the bar, but this really hurts your wrists because your arms are now bent, and you're going downwards with incredible speed and since your hands are strapped to the bar, when you get to the bottom, your arms snap straight and then all the force gets taken by your wrists and the stupid straps holding your hands in place. very painful. but so the first one i did was ugly and terrible, but then i did three in a row which were much nicer and the first two weren't painful, but then the third one.. you guessed it. i lifted my head just a wee bit and since i was going faster than the first time i did that... PAIN! AND LOTS OF IT! my wrists are now all swollen. not a lot, but a little anyway, and they're so bruised. you can't see any of the bruises though, but they're there. it hurts just to have things rub against the skin. like i said, pain! and lots of it! but i would still rather have my wrists hurt than never have done a giant. (FUN!)

movies are great. they give me a nice opportunity to tighten all my dreads. may as well, i'm not doing much but sitting and mindlessly absorbing what's on the screen anyway. that's what i did last night. tightened all my dreads. now my head hurts in several places because they're all so tight now. ow. although if i ever get a boyfriend (which is unlikely because i am TRAVEL SIZED AND SCARY) then i won't be able to do that so much. i might just bonk him in the head and take out an eye or something. dread tightening is dangerous. rar.

my computer is silly. i had a lovely blog going the other day, and it FROZE on me! so then it all got deleted. and so now it is at least two days after that and i am finally re-writing the silly thing.

so yes, it went something like this... COME ON JAMAICA WE HAVE A BOBSLED TEAM! har har har.. nonono... it started out with me having had a good day. and it was a rather lovely day. oh wait, this happened yesterday. so it's only been one day. anyway. because you see, i got to school and found out that i don't have a chem lab next week because they're all going to be cancelled (makes sense doesn't it.) and so then i don't have to go to school on friday until NOON! YESS!! anyway, and then, let's see... oh hey! i still have my cal assessment to do..... hmmm... i should do that very soon before i forget and then don't do it at all and get zero... that would be very sad... i think i will try not to do that. ok, anyway, then... hmmm... oh yes! i ate a lot of candy for lunch. (yum). and then, on the way home i decided that i was going to go into cash converters and see if they had any good movies, AND THERE WAS A VIOLIN JUST WAITING FOR ME!!!!!!! it's soooo nice! and pretty! and yay! although it does need new strings... but STILL! i have no idea how much violin strings cost.. aparantly they are not all that cheap, but oh well. i'd rather pay, i'm not sure how much, for new strings than have them snap and take out my eyes... that would definitely not be good. no good at all. unhuh. (how on earth do you spell that anyway? nobody knows these things.. not me, not the leprechaun, not george... sheesh.. so uneducated.) and let's see.. after that... ummm... i think i probably ate more candy. OH YES WAIT I REMEMBER! the day actually started off with me feeling pretty! (doesn't happen often..)

i fixed the big stereo thingy today. it had been refusing to play cd's. it just kept saying that there wasn't one in there and was being stupid. so i took it all apart, and then it worked. i have no idea what i did, but now it works. and so life is wonderful. i can now blast rammstein super, super loud and not have to worry about blowing anything up. (in order to blow these speakers up, you'd first have to get the volume past the point where it would shatter all the windows in the house... and i don't really want to try and get it that loud.... the entire ground floor is made of glass almost.

mein mutti is gone right now. her and ted went to somewhere in BC and are driving a car back that ted's dad wants. and so i'm taking care of things, hurrah. stupid horses.. anyway, she put a new catheter the day that she left because the one i had in had been there for almost a week i think, and we weren't sure that it'd last until she came back on monday, so she put a new one in, only that the new one lasted only a day and then got all red and angry looking. so i took it out, but then i'd have to stab myself all weekend. not fun. so i put one in myself. only i had to do it twice because the first time i didn't put it in deep enough, and i think i went through a blood vessel of sorts or something, because i pulled it out and it bled. not a whole lot, but compared to all the others (i.e. not bleeding at all) it bled a lot. and the catheter tube had blood in it as well. not cool. so i did it again, and i think i got it deep enough. the only problem is that you can't really tell unless you take it out, and then you just have to go and put another one back in. so i'm just going to leave it and hope that it's good.

but enough about catheters. i think i will work on my story some. i have no idea how i'm going to actually start the main plot, but we'll get there eventually i suppose. perhaps one day i'll just be like.... AND THEN SOMEONE DIED! and that'll certainly start things in a hurry! hahahah... no. i'll think of something.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!! I HAVE 12 PIERCINGS NOW!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!! you see, i'd been planning on getting at least 3 more in my ears, but then i found some other good places to put earrings into my ears, so that number went from 3 to 5, and now it's down to 4 because I GOT A NEW ONE!!! so now i have one midway up my left ear. when i'm done (as plans stand at the moment) i'll have 7 in each ear, my tongue and my bellybutton, so 16! hehehehe. piercings are fun! and i did this one myself too. so now i've done 4 of my own. you see, i think going to a shop to get a lobe piercing doen is just ridiculous, because who on ear would want to pay 50 for a lobe piercing. going to a shop for a lobe piercing is fine if you want it stretched, or big, or an orbital or something, but just a simple little one like mine, no. which is why i did it myself. :>
i'm not sure at the moment if the one cartilage one that i want i'll do myself or go to a shop. i think probably a shop, because i don't really want to pierce cartilage myself. although if i can find a hair salon that'll do it (even though doing cartilage piercings with a gun violates every known health code there is) then i'll go there, because i do like paying 15$ as opposed to 50$ but we'll see. one thing that helped me decide not to do the cartilage one first was that then i'd have a healing piercing on each side of my head, making it very difficult to sleep on either side. so now the numbers in my ears are slightly lopsided, 6 in my left and 4 in my right, but oh well. :> c'est la vie, et je suppose que je vais vivre encore. salut!

halloween was so much fun! CANDY!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. i love it. i have so much candy. i don't think i've ever gotten this much before, ever! yummmmmmmmm. :> and i carved a pumpkin! and it had a grim reaper on it! and it was so cool! and then it melted...... you see, it had been outside and had sorta frozen. so then when it was semi defrosted i carved it (VERY COLD TO CARVE A SEMI FROZEN PUMPKIN!) and then i put it on the kitchen table and went to bed. by the next morning it had finished its defrosting and was nothing more than a caved in, very quishy pile of orange. and to top it all off, all the pumpkin juice went EVERYWHERE! the floor is now sticky there. and i think if you were to smell my chair, it would smell like pumpkin. it probably will for a very, very, very long time.

and now i must be off to continue writing my novel (FINALLY GOT STARTED! YAY!) hurrah.
