YAY!

I have completed my first National Blog Posting Month challenge! One blog post every day for an entire month!

I'm debating whether or not I want to keep going for April. Script Frenzy is going to be consuming a lot of my creative energy. But it also gives me built-in subject matter to blog about.

I suppose I'll decide one way or another. But for now, it's time to go to bed and (hopefully) dream of scripts.

Today, a prompt from the NaBloPoMo website: What do you do to cheer yourself up?

I have a few methods, but most of them rely on me being in only a moderately bad mood. I have only one way that's guaranteed to solve whatever foul, miserable mood I throw at it.

Disturbed.

The band, that is. I don't know what it is about their music that manages to miraculously cure whatever's wrong with me, but it does. I could be flat-out homocidal, suicidal, ready to fall asleep where I stand, anything. And then I'll put on some Disturbed and bang, everything's okay again. Something about the beats, David Draiman's voice, how the music encourages me to sing along until my throat's raw and all the emotional poison's been worked out of my system. I love it, and I love this band.

Saturday. I really should have slept in today. But instead, I was out of bed at seven in the morning, heading to the mall to start an epic shopping trip.

It's now eleven o'clock, and I've gotten two Transformers that I was looking for - RTS Wreck-Gar and G2 Optimus Prime. I also bought RTS Bumblebee, and the only explanation I can give for that is that I've been going through collecting withdrawal and thus went a little stupid when faced with new toys.

Also, I caved on Pokemon Black. I don't know why, because I haven't read anything about this, I haven't watched any videos, I have no idea who this legendary Pokemon is on the cover, I don't even know who the starters are. So I'm just going to blame the morons on Twitter who started the rumors that Satoshi Tajiri had died. Seriously. Morons.

Yeah, this is a poor excuse for a blog, but I'm strapped for ideas and I don't know if I'm going to get back to the computer before tonight.

Another prompt from the NaBloPoMo website:

Celebrate something -- anything -- today, and then tell us about it.

It's payday! I have money!

Thanks to my last paycheck getting botched up and having to pay rent with said botched check, I've spent the last two weeks pinching pennies, counting change, digging in the couch cushions to come up with the cash to survive. I don't even want to look at ramen for at least a month after this. I'm going through caffeine withdrawal. And I don't think I've ever hated city transit and their stupid fares and horrible service any more than I do right now.

But that is over. I can afford to live again. Eat real food. Go places that aren't work or home. Yay!

I now own Generations Blurr, bought from a mass retailer, for the normal retail price.

shelby_danvers: The default icon for writer's block (Writing)
I think it just about killed me, but I did it. I completed the JanNoWriMo challenge with a total word count of 50,293!

Now, the interesting part is going to be going back and trying to decipher the stuff I wrote. I was working mainly on my latest idea for The Zombie Retrieval Agency, in which my protagonist, Jaide, finds herself stuck in the most demented reality show I could think of. I wrote over 7K in just under four hours, so I'm sure there's some nonsense gibberish in there that needs to be sorted out.

So, we move on to February. Coming off such a madcap event, I think I'm going to take a few days and chill. The most serious writing I do will probably be some fanfiction. Then we'll see where things go.

Now, I'm off to celebrate some more.
