some days you just......
Okay, so I saw this and it made me giggle. I'm not a Grammar Nerd, but I find it funny. Also, my friend sent me this. I request it for my birthday.
Well my dad is in surgery today, so just a bit nervous for him, even though it's not a big deal - someone's still cutting my daddy to bits and that makes me nervous. He's having like three sleep apnea corrective procedures done all at once and will be a bit cranky for like the next month probably - even though the doctor says he should be fine in a few days. If it's an excuse to be cranky - he'll take it! I love my dad. :)
Mondays are always weird. Yesterday I woke up just fine, got to work and got a bunch of stuff done all at once and then it took me the entire afternoon to do like, one thing. I guess I burned myself out doing everything else too quickly. I'm also far too critical of my own work - I think it's sloppy and I should do a much better job. Mistakes annoy me and I get really upset with myself. That should be a goal - establishing a steady work pace and go with it.
One exciting note about yesterday, I'm jonesing so much for NaNo I went on and started this ridiculous shortish story. In my head it's a spin off of Beauty and the Beast, though I think it's been warped enough now that it's not really that similar to it. The first two sections are on my Booksie page - and it's called Beauty and the Beast - Or Not for now - I think it needs a more fitting title. It's very silly and nothing in it is supposed to make perfect sense; it's really just supposed to be funny. I really should have revised it before putting it up because I think the intro is a bit rushed but I really don't want to take forever getting the story set up when the actual story shouldn't be that long. I'm toying with the idea of doing a lot of short stories that continue after this and all sort of tie together. ((as a side note, and so very selfish - if you do click through on the Booksie page, click the Like blue box at the bottom of each chapter. it gets me better ratings and more searchability.))
Anyways! My Olympus camera shipped, so I'm a bit excited about that. It should probably be here by the end of the week. I feel like there's a lot I should be saying but I'm drawing a blank. I just really want to spend the day writing, so maybe that's where all my words have gone.
So I did my little two mile walk/jog thing on Saturday, and I think I might have strained something. Which is weird and I suddenly feel extremely fat and horrible for that. My hip joints actually hurt which I don't know - maybe it's from derby falls? My shins also hurt, and it's been long enough I shouldn't still have stress fractures or anything. It puzzles me. If the weather stays clear I want to go out and just do a long, easy walk to just get out and do something now that I've given myself a little bit of time. Using the gym at the apartment complex now that the weather's changed is just about impossible; there's always people in there and I just got tired of going back and back and back to see the same person using the equipment. I'll have to figure out something else.
I got a new background for my laptop. It's a looking towards NaNo one. It's fun. ^__^ I'm also quite entertained by a user named Inkygirl - she does comics. (Countdown Continues, NaNoWriMo Prep, Countdown to NaNoWriMo Begins) I think she's fantastic, and makes me giggle.
I believe tonight I will be seeing the latest episode of Tool Academy. I'm very excited. I love my trash TV. I also have the latest episode of W downloaded but again, have yet to watch it. Typical of me, I know. I think my Netflix are coming in today too! Geezes. Tomorrow night I will be volunteering at church, so that should be interesting. They're doing a Trunk or Treat on Halloween and I'm toying with the idea of participating and setting up my Jeep as a car to get candy out of. I have speakers I could use to play music and stuff and I'm sure I would dress the Jeepie up and do something fun and silly for kids. Maybe I could talk Kara into it and we could team up and use both our Jeeps for like one big, fun activity Trunk or Treat station. I don't know - I'll talk to her tonight about it.
I'm rambling and I need to get to work. Ciao!
About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!
