23:35 @DemonicVel I'm not "well over," at least. Just wandering along now and trying to get my minimum. I'm only 4 days ahead of par for my goal. #
23:37 Leaving computer to back up overnight, just in case one of these days I can't bring it back from near death. #
07:40 After school, I get to make sure things are ready in case Ida comes to visit. At least she's not a strong storm. #
10:40 Problem with nonlinear story timeline: wtf do I write after this? May need to pause and plot; NaNo buddies rejoice. #
11:04 Worried about bad pacing in this, too. Seems like I'm narrating things that happened and/or writing very short scenes... #
11:49 Chem prof revealed to fellow students that I'm the one ruining their curve. Now must fear assassination. One knows where I live! D: #
13:02 91 for last week's test. High B by this grading scale. I can live with that. Still A average. #
15:11 @mhenry424 But Twitter is awesome. It has me! #
16:04 @mhenry424 I just can never get into Facebook for some reason. Maybe too much family. Only a little family here. #

23:54 Okay. Only going to play games for a few minutes, hear me? #
00:54 @DemonicVel It'll probably hit me, too. :P #
01:25 AAAAH! I heard a scratching noise from across the room and looked up and saw a 4-inch-long centipede crawling around on my dresser. *twitch* #
01:27 I am really tired of indoor wildlife. #
02:21 Now safe from bugs with two cats on me, except for paranoid image of cats knocking over centipede jar, sending it flying into my face. #
12:33 Have myself a 4-day buffer of words in #nanowrimo. Woot! Still should keep writing. #
13:30 No more puppy. :/ Good home, though, I think. #
15:56 @ghostangel Sorry your moving has been such a stressful experience. :( #
17:48 Weekend, come back! D: You went by too fast! #
19:25 I feel strange not being greeted when I come home. :/ #
19:58 @Maxasaurusrex Haha. Thanks. For proper effect, you have to try to lick my face, though, or stick your face in my crotch. #

23:22 @Wylddelirium You're making my bad day so much better. :) #
01:03 I bet I could find good Zak-soundtrack music by listening to Christian rock. He's just that kinda guy. #
01:04 And by "that kinda guy" I guess I mean "messianic?" #
01:05 Or "masochistic." One of those. #
11:43 Oops. Must've been tired. Slept until almost noon. #
12:41 Get writing, Alex. Finish the draft and THEN you can play video games. :( #

22:25 Woot. My flow for writing has returned. Still writing crap, but at least I'm writing. #
08:05 My cat has man-boobs. #
08:42 This is the best day ever. Started it off by hitting a parked car while the owner was standing there. Just scratched it. But Hell. #
09:51 I want to go home, crawl back under my blankets and hide. #
09:53 RT @greygirlbeast: Well, unless the two lesbians were cannibals. Then, maybe they might share a man. --I love you. This made my morning. #
13:24 Finished my calc test before anyone else. Significantly before. This worries me. It has not been a good day. #
13:43 I wish I lived in the UK so that I could blow things up tonight. That might make things better. #
15:17 My world has no non-human sentients, nor magic. Yet this is Zakai's biological uncle: i37.tinypic.com/4vr5ew.jpg #
17:12 And then I almost hit a deer driving to my night class. #

20:20 Hello depression. I'd wondered where you'd gone. I can't blame you for slacking off until you could reappear with such excellent timing. #
20:44 Anyone in the area want an adorable spayed border collie/heeler mix? Free, getting killed otherwise. #
00:04 10185! I have classified my genre as "speculative literary WTFery" *passes out* #
11:26 Well, all registered for spring. Will probably suck, but not as bad as this semester since I won't have the hard class. #

08:40 Car AC doesn't work but heater works well. I obviously need to be somewhere colder. #
13:43 I wonder what their political leanings might be like. pic.gd/7f5fff #
14:25 Hopefully after tonight, I'll be done with homework for a bit and able to catch up on writing. #
17:45 @gabrielle_h Yay! #
18:22 My life may not be a fairy tale, but I've definitely got the evil stepsister covered. #
19:28 @rowanfire If you find something, let me know. Also, give me ops in the channel you recently reregged. ;) #

20:25 Um, Grandpa? Forwarding me e-mails encouraging me to vote against those evil liberals in a poll is not the best way to help the cause. #
00:44 Due to falling asleep for a few hours, I suppose final Day 1 wordcount for #nanowrimo was 2665. Not bad for handwritten, I suppose. #
00:55 Dying in droves, drying in doves. Same difference, right? (I can't even blame it on typos this time.) #
07:57 The dogs welcomed me home. The cat spent most of the night planted on my chest making sure I didn't leave again. #
13:44 I have TONS of homework due tomorrow and Wednesday. Much is online. Also, it is NaNoWriMo. What does this mean, with my luck? Dead computer. #
13:52 Trying not to have a dead goat as well. #
13:53 @SJGames Well, we have asshats. #
15:34 Dragged computer outside, wiggled bits and used half a large can of air. Seems to be working now. #
18:58 Computer made it, goat did not. Alas. Writing time for a bit. #

21:32 Hm... Should I stay up until midnight and write something or sleep early? That is the question... #
23:18 Have to hand-write for my first day of NaNo anyway. Also, study for a test on Wednesday I'm utterly unprepared for. At this point, I'd fail. #
23:20 In the meantime, watching VH1. I want to be an 80s metal star. #
23:23 @rowanfire I have no clue how to work the problems, so no way to study. >_< #
00:28 Blood spattered the Emperor's cheek, trickled down his neck, and painted gaudy patterns on his golden robes. His face did not change. #
10:59 On the road home at last. Wrote an awful page of something last night, will continue, I suppose. #
11:36 @thinkgeek Another writing geek here! #
17:36 1907 words and I've finally gotten into the story, but can't continue because I'm hand-writing in the car and it got dark. :( #
17:38 Suppose I can try to buy a booklight at the next truck stop. Really wanted to at least get a little wordcount buffer. #
17:57 @rowanfire Not sure it would work for me. Writing blind in the dark could work better. Thumb-typing annoys me so much words can't flow. #
19:31 I has a light. Onward, to violence and pornography! (There is no violence or pornography yet. In fact, the main char of this part is 16.) #

22:04 Sharing my aunt's living room with a second cousin and some dogs. And a Munsters marathon. Alas, sleep beckons. #
11:09 Most of my family is being awesome, at least. Been setting up for my grandfather's party. #
11:34 At least the ones muttering are doing it almost out of earshot. :) #
12:32 Though the only folks of my generation talking to me are a female cousin and another cousin's ex-wife. Whatever. #
16:14 Watching the Hallmark channel with my grandmother. What joy. I'd forgotten how bad made-for-tv movies are. #
17:25 My best childhood Halloween costumes: pteranodon, barbarian, amoeba. #
18:28 I would comment how awesome my uncle Jeff is, but he might be reading this soon. So he sucks. (Actually really enjoyed talking to him.) #
18:49 Also, I have cupcakes. CUPCAKES. Delicious ones. #
18:50 @rowanfire My mom already follows me. #

21:02 Strange trend I've noticed in my musical tastes: I tend to only like female vocalists with strong British accents. #
21:56 I know where Zak's compulsion to truthfulness comes from. If you want to find out, you'll just have to read the book. Which I have to write. #
22:33 @gabrielle_h Aw. Poor feets. :( #
00:15 Making plans to try and hang out with someone I haven't seen since 4th grade. Oh, Internet. (Facebook, however, was not involved.) #
00:33 Oh wait, I lied. I think I saw him again once when we were in our teens. He gave me a gnome. #
00:54 In Memphis. Getting ready to cross the river. #
01:13 Now onward into storms... #
01:18 @DemonicVel About halfway there. A few hundred miles left. #
01:59 In the middle of Arkansas. Definitely flooding. #
04:58 5am. Still on the road, still in AR. Slept a little. Think we might pull over for a bit, but not worth buying a hotel room for a few hours. #
08:38 @DemonicVel The first one was lots better. #
08:47 It actually looks like autumn here! I could fall in love just with the brightly colored roadside weeds. #
08:50 @DemonicVel It's one of my favorite movies. Weeks was okay, but lost the feel that wowed me in Days. I'm really critical of movies though. #
09:22 @DemonicVel I don't watch so many anymore, though. :( #
10:52 Hangin' around the Tulsa fairground security office. Stepdad used to work here. Now my mom wants to go look at horses. Excitement. #
14:49 Travel always ends up surreal when you're sleep-deprived in a strange city. #
17:41 Getting sirred so much today. Are people in Oklahoma more polite or am I just looking older than 12 for once? #
19:12 So sleepy... Going to the place that does the best burgers I've had, hoping I can maybe at least eat the meat by itself. x_x #

08:45 All you people have fun at your con this weekend, but no one will beat the epic fun I'll be having with ELDERLY RELATIVES. Oh yeah. #
11:24 Seem to not be as horribly exhausted as I had been! Woot. #
12:56 Would work up stories and apply to Clarion if I thought I could scrape up the money. #
13:52 Though I suppose there's such a small chance I'd get in that applying wouldn't hurt. :D Still unsure about NaNoing, with two days to go... #
14:58 On the road at last. #
17:23 I have decided to count our cross-country drive in terms of Wal-Marts passed. Averaging around 2 Wal-Marts per hour so far. #
18:08 @DemonicVel Hahaha. 1800 miles through the middle of America. I don't have the attention span to count McDonaldses. #
19:58 Great. Lost the ball to my labret stud in the car somewhere. I do not have another. Go Alex. You rock. #

23:25 Satisfied with midterm grades I think. All A's, 3 out of 4 are 100+. Teacher doing chem lab has started asking me how to do things. XD #
23:27 Oh right. Sleep. Packing time tomorrow night, then on Thurs, off for long drive to Tulsa for family stuff... And writing? Perhaps. #
09:29 Turned on my shower and a frog flew out. Oh, Florida. #
16:10 @ghostangel I found that the ones with the memory foam bit aren't too uncomfortable for me at least. #
17:23 Something is wrong with me. I should not be this tired. No time for doc, though... Suppose I'll just hope it gets better. #

21:39 @docbrite So delicious. Really glad you recommended that a while back. #
21:44 @ghostangel *sounds of sloppy, tounge-lolling drool* #
22:51 Wrote a cool snippet. Little 150-word sceneish thing. Wish I knew where it led... #
23:26 @tmoenk Happy birthday! #
07:16 Carbon shadows, arms lifted in joy. #sixwordshortstories #
07:54 His mask hid nothing; nobody told. #sixwordshortstories #
08:44 Guiltily reading Anne Rice. #
09:30 @DemonicVel I think I saw those in the bookstore a while back. #
09:30 My mid-term grade in Chemistry is exactly 100. #
10:19 Felt very tired for two days now, though I haven't been getting any less sleep. Hope I'm not sick or something. #
11:40 @gabrielle_h Sounds like a good plan. #
12:57 Maybe I'll say screw NaNo and try the Damned Zak Story for the fifthish (or second serious) time. Need to make authorial decisions, though. #
14:09 Realized a better way to tell said Zak Story, which is by doing it non-chronologically. I can tell it's a good idea because it terrifies me. #
18:32 Nope, BB Pandora is playing now. Dunno why it keeps refusing while I'm at school. #

09:50 Damn you, quantum physics for being so interesting. Damn you, self, proving you actually don't suck at math. Do not go off & study physics. #
09:54 @ghostangel Still looking forward to you guys' comic. :x #
09:56 Possibly when I hit my free listening limit, Pandora for BB just quits getting music with no explanation? #
16:40 Tired, headachey. Stupid Monday. #
17:22 @rowanfire Obviously you're just too young to be nostalgic over it. ;) #
19:11 Yep. Figured it would happen. Pondering major plot changes again. Thinking of just writing whatever comes out for NaNo. :P #

18:49 Ergh. I think the Internet as a whole is PMSing. It's the only explanation for all the drama. #
18:50 Or, well, my corner of the Internet. I didn't know this shit was contagious. #
18:55 @jrmullen I think you might've missed most of it. Maybe. I don't know. #
19:42 @jrmullen There's at least two threads of TK-player-related drama. Caught in the middle of one and hit in the face with the other. Bleh. #

10:40 Assuming I get the classes I need, I'll only have 3 days/week of school next semester. :D #
12:53 HOLY SHIT I GOT A PERFECT SCORE ON THAT LAST CALC III TEST. Seriously. Omg. I have never been that proud of a grade. #
14:14 @rowanfire In my experience, Opera Mini just ends up being so slow that it's not worth it unless you need it. #
14:15 @rowanfire Oh! The plus side of a BB is that there's a free Pandora client. :D #
16:18 @rowanfire I listen to Pandora on my Blackberry a lot and have yet to hit the monthly limit. Ever. Wonder if it's a bug. >> #
16:26 Okay, they're probably sold out now, but the desc made me snerk more than usual (and sing.) shirt.woot.com/ #
16:29 @rowanfire Well, I can't listen on my computer. Maybe I'm just not hitting the limit. Hm. Should try to figure it some time. #
18:01 Do not say someone's thrown up their arms or @gabrielle_h will make you throw up yours. After she's fed them to you. (I like mine better.) #
