NaNoWriMo

Yup. I have fallen into the pit known as NaNoWriMo. When I emerge a completed 50,000 word novel will be before me.

A lot of people have been talking about it. Most of them were planning out what they would be writing about in advance. I didn't. The first progress I made on the story I've been working on came from five minutes I spent writing a note on facebook. I want to plan, but I have come up with better (and more) stuff without planning things out. I'll try to keep you filled in.

Things are still weird

I should start posting again everyday. That will be one step to make everything normal We still haven't restocked our fridge.

When I really like a book I tend to want multiple copies. On the list are: Wuthering Heights, Looking for Alaska, and Paper Towns. I own Two copies of PT (there are two covers) and I am bidding on an ARC right now. Looking for Alaska....I just went online and bought a first edition/first printing. Wuthering Heights has a lot of different covers, but the good thing is that there are a lot of them under eight dollars.

I forgot to mention...

When you go to an event on an author's book tour there is bound to be someone there asking for advice. John Green's Paper Towns tour was no different, however, it was the first time I had gotten to hear an author talk about nearly every aspect of his writing. He may not have realized it, but John green inspired me. Not the advice part, but just talking about what his day is like, how he learned to tell stories, and just being John. It was a cool experience.

I am awful at grammar. Must learn about grammar, again!

Good news

Almost everything is back to normal. We still haven't bought food, but I think that will happen tomorrow.

I didn't get to tell you what happened over the near two weeks of hotel life. I went and met John Green, youtube celebrity, author, and as of this coming week (thanks to the nerdfighters) NYT best seller! I was the coolest thing I've done in a while. His new book, Paper Towns, is absolutely fantastic. You should buy it. It's his third and his best. It can't be put into words how great it is.

I'm home!!!

Power: Check!
Cable: Check!
Phone service: Check!
Internet: Check!
Hot water: Almost check. (its warming up now.)

YAY!!!! Oh, how I have missed my home. The tree has been cut up. We now have firewood for when it gets colder. The hole that was in the side of the house is patched up thanks to our awesome neighbors. (One neighbor said he knew a guy and the guy is one of our neighbors as well.) The guy doing the work is going to stain the new wood and then pressure wash the rest of the house. Right now he is ripping up part of the roof because the previous owners had the roof "replaced". (They just put a layer over the old one. FYI: it was wrong.) Part of our roof will be done properly. We should get the entire thing done, but it will be a lot of money. I cleaned most of the freezer. I need to finish that and get the fridge as well.

Holiday Inn Express

That is where we are now. And...yeah.

Trees

We have this one really big tree just off to the front of the house. Last night while I was at waffle house after the homecoming dance I got a txt saying that part of it fell down. It took the phone lines and cable with it, as well as some of the house. The power company came last night and said they could take the cable lines out, but we had to cut the power and have an electrician come and inspect the house. We also have to deal with the tree ourselves. After a few hours of trying to contact our insurance agent we went to a hotel. That is where I am now. Weee.

Game night

Woodstock lost. Dance tomorrow. It's kinda weird that I'm going.

Wow

Just saw the new trailer for Twilight. A-MAZING!!!!!!!

Rain.

I love rain. It did cancel the parade, but I hadn't planned on going. I have to get money to Rachel for a ticket to the dance.

I can explain the shortness of this post. I have a headache. Woo.

Dress to impress

I got a dress for homecoming on Saturday. Game Friday. Parade tomorrow.

So

I don't think I got the job today. I guess I'll have to keep looking.

Tomorrow

I have an interview at Bath and Body Works. It's at three with a woman named Francis. I have no idea what I am going to wear. I do know that I use the products every day. We have the foaming hand soap in the bathrooms and the body wash in the shower. We have an air freshener in the living room and candles all over the house. I want to work there because it seems like a great place to be. I am always in a good mood after I walk trough those doors.

The book is so good

John Green is amazing. I am halfway through the book at I love it. There are little comment that make me go "Ah, that is just like me."

YAY!!!

Paper Towns was delivered just now. It's not out until the 16th. Nerdfighters FTW!

I am

I'm watching Bridget Jones Diary: The Edge of Reason. I can't watch the parts where she embarrasses herself b/c i feel so bad for her. It's back on so I'm going to go.

So arrogant

I have known this guy for two years now. He is friends with most of my friends. He does the same thing I did in high school. In a way he is me in guy form. Except he is better at everything he does. Acting, singing, and I just found out he plays guitar and the piano. Sounds like a dream guy, right?

Wrong.

I am finding out the bad things about him right now and they are weighing pretty heavy on all that is good about him. I found out he told this girl that she was a bad christian. This girl is the ideal image of teenage christian. That is bad in itself, but then he goes around acting like he is God's gift to Georgia. He is turning people against him and no one is willing to tell him that he needs to find a big slice of humble pie. I think I am going to to it. It's going to take the next week or so for me to really get up the nerve and to figure out what I am going to say, but I think he needs to hear it before it is too late.
