Blech. That's All

So, school has started again. First year at college, first year to mess up, first year to freak out, and, hopefully, first year to be epic. Because I'm crazy, I decided to go into business. This means facing the Evil. Yes, accounting. Have I ever told you how much I hate accounting? The government has their fingers in everything. It's not just numbers and formulas. It's numbers, formulas, and government laws. Yes, I hate it.

Another topic, NaNoWriMo. What? You have no idea what that is? Well... It's part of the Office of Letters and Light's Young Writers program. This is a program that encourages writing in schools. clicky here. NaNoWriMo is a worldwide challenge every November. It stands for National Novel Writing Month. Yes, writing a novel in a month, of at least 50,000 words. The only rule? No editing. No touching what you wrote. None of that. You just write, and leave it as is. Then you finish a novel, start to finish, and don't leave it in the middle.

On this note, I have no idea what I want to do this year for my novel. I tried doing a romance, but that didn't go too well. Then I tried a horror novel. That didn't go too well. School got in the way. This year, I want to finish something and have it readable. I'm thinking of possibly a fantasy story. Yes, a romance again. Or possibly an adventure story. There's still time to think though.

This year, I would love to go to the Night of Dangerous Writing. It's on November 21, in San Fransisco. It costs 200 dollars. This 200 dollars is a donation to the Office of Letters and Light, not to me. Donate here.

You know it's been a long day when...

The ceiling cat looks down on you from above.

Basement cat has taken over your computer.

Your homework has mysteriously vanished, and your cat is no where to be found.

You come home and find a dog in your kitchen.

People withhold caffeine from you claiming that you've already had enough.

Your mother is in bed before you set foot in the door.

Homework is all that you have to do, eating cookies are no longer there.

You fall down the stairs and see your cat looking at you from the top.

All you can really think about shouldn't be said in polite company.

Life Cycle of a 'Shroom

'Shrooms are going to take over the world one day. Just you wait and see. They don't need anyone else to reproduce, they can grow just about anywhere, and they have great imaginations. One day we may have a zombie shroom that has something against all humans and will come and eat all your brains. BRAINS!!!

And because I know you'll ask, the illegible wording on the earth is "Houston. We have a problem."

What Really Happens in the Fairy Cirlces

As the world turns and as the AP Bio teachers start talking about 'shrooms the wee early morning hours have a strange effect on teenage minds. While taking notes and drawing diagrams I kept having this overwhelming urge to show what happens in Fairy Circles while no one is looking, or almost no one.

Oh. And until I get around to fixing the formatting, just click on the image to enlarge....
