Hello there, potential new friend!
This journal is not flocked, but if you randomly friend me, I'd appreciate it if you'd drop a quick comment telling me where/why I got a friending - I'm paranoid like that.
Wheee!

An engraving in my current fortress: "Engraved on the wall is an exceptionally designed image of Kubuk Syruprings the dwarf and a pig tail fiber cloth by Asmel Kokeboltar. Kubuk Syruprings is raising the pig tail fiber cloth. The artwork relates to the pig tail fiber cloth masterfully dyed with emerald dye by the dwarf Kubuk Syruprings for The Strapping Crafts at Graniteditches in the late spring of 1055."
Good to know that was so memorable.

Random note: Think of Zynga what you will, but I do find it rather awesome that you have the option of choosing a spouse of the same gender as your avatar.

So now that I have to spend Christmas at home instead of with the boyfriend, I've been distracting myself from SAD TIMES WOE by getting angry... er than usual... at stupid people on the internet, and having rant-worthy thoughts about racist fetishizing in porn and what annoys me about gay movies (separate thoughts, though).
So maybe you can expect a post worthy of a cut over the next couple days.
Anyways.
Where's the sparkle background...

...dear god I almost made a somewhat wanky reply to this comment concering how
a) the Vikings probably maybe weren't too cool with the gay (what with the concept of ergi, unmanliness)
b) the glorification of Caesar and Alexander is a bit problematic.
So instead of doing it there, I'll just leave that here, yes?

6,428 words to reach the fabled 50k. This feels good.
Plot's far from done, though. I'm not sure whether the actual novel will be done by the end of November >_>

So, in the NaNo wank report, I picked up the link to an article about rejection letters and read the part with the "words supplanted by their similar-sounding cousins".
Now I have the urge to incorporate those into my writing, only on purpose and stuff (kinda like I still have my CoX villain Rouge Angle, daughter of illiterate Satanists, running around).
'He looked at those dire straights, not understanding how you could go through life being so unfabulous.'
'The window exploded with a loud bang. Shards of glass and a shutter went through her body.'
'After he had fallen into the machine producing Ruffles, his body went ridged.'

| Tired of my NaNo forum rants yet? |
[13 Nov 2010|11:26pm] |
Just one more quick thought: I like to browse the reference forum to, y'know, dispense sage advice.
And then sometimes I come across a plot description where I just want to write "Close Word or whatever you're using and think about what you've done but please stop writing".
Like the one about the girl in a concentration camp who falls in love with a soldier who's been forced to do soldiering by his father.
(According to userinfo, the author of that is 13. I ... really don't see this end well. At all. Seriously.)

Hey, more NaNoForumFun!
So there's this thread about using non-PC language in your novel, and I want to respond to every other comment with this:
So many people going "lol y u so offended is only words" it makes my head hurt.
(That's not to say that I think you mustn't use non-PC language EVAR, but I'm on the side of people going, "use it if there's a reason to use it (and the reason isn't loledgy)")

Because I'm suddenly in my HP!FAN!PHASE again, random comment:
I like the movies well enough as visual aids in a sense, but some of the changes are really so much WTF
Like the random Beauxbaton sighing and the weird acrobatics of Durmstrang in GoF. This gives us an awesome Snape/McGonagall "what the shit is this?" reaction shot, though.
And then of course there's Shoutus Angrydore.
ETA: Also, the whole dancing lessons with McGonagall. I know they were going for laughs with stern McGonagall being all "well-mannered frivolity", but I've seen Maggie Smith in other roles, and thank's to the HeyIt'sThatGuy thing, it just makes me wonder if McGonagall used to be the mistress of the king of Ruritania, too.
Son of ETA: That said, I'd give anything to dance with Maggie Freakin' Smith, though.

*browsing through nano subforums*
Oh look! It's a "I'm not racist but..." comment.
Y'know, even if they are 100% truthful with that statement, it sounds so incredibly racist!
I'm not racist, but I don't enjoy doing laundry.
I'm not sexist, but I think we should reduce our carbon footprint.
I'm not homophobic, but I don't like fruits veggies that much.
