Hi Glo! How goes it?

I spent two hours on a train today making my awesome YA UF outline even more complicated. My spreadsheet has an absurd number of entries - several hundred, at least. I love how big and complex and interweaving everything is. :tongue

Imbroglio · Mar 19, 2010

Fine, fine.

Chapter 15 is causing me to have a brain aneurysm.

It's all good though, haha.

Several hundred? That's intense.

Rachel · Mar 19, 2010

Hey all. I need to edit and read today, but first I must clean this house.

dystophil · Mar 19, 2010

Hahaha all goes well with me. An intense amount of socializing lately and the writing is suffering a little, but it tends to be very forgiving

I've played FFX but never noticed an overbearing amount of religion in it...also am not really the type to get way engrossed in games so I'm probably not the best person to talk to...

And YAY FOR OUTLINING Para. Although I'm not "working" on my WIP right now as far as the writing goes, I'm playing around with the end to make it even more awesome :tongue

. Yay for complicated plot twists too <3

Rachel · Mar 19, 2010

Intense schoolwork is drowning out revisions. I need to read several chapters in math courses as well as a ton of Investing reading tomorrow. Sunday I'll probably do a lot of revising but until then I feel blah.

Imbroglio · Mar 19, 2010

Well not only was it not overbearing, but it kind of brings down religion, if you look at it.

I don't know what she's talking about.

She's crazy about Sephiroth though, I think that explains it.

Haha, that's okay.

Some girl was just telling me she hates FFX because of its focus on religion, and I was just like, "Uh..."

Lol, you'd understand if you'd played the game.

You know, I've played that game for YEARS without noticing that. And then I started playing it a few days ago, and i see what you're talking about. I blame AP Lit for making me analyze everything.

It's not that that keeps me from playing the game though. I blame that more on the scratches that make it keep freezing up.

Hi, guys.

I'm sick.

MargoWest · Mar 19, 2010

Hey people! What's up?

Horserider · Mar 19, 2010

Awww that sucks Star

Imbroglio · Mar 19, 2010

Well, HR, it's not really the degradation of religion as an institution, more the ignorance of the laity in following the religion. In this case, the religion was unfounded though, so it kind of feels like it's degrading ALL religion.

So this basically sums up my life:

I'm in Marshall's, actually having found some clothes for once, when I find a copy of The Book Thief lying on a shelf and then proceed to stand in the store and read the first few chapters.

Imbroglio · Mar 19, 2010

xD

That's amazing, Kyrie.

Kyrie · Mar 19, 2010

I faaaaaaaaaaail at shopping.

And?

I still haven't recovered from Book Thief enough to read HG. Every time I read it book, I have a cooldown period before I start the next book. If I wasn't trying to read 100 books this year, Book Thief's would probably last until next spring.

Kyrie · Mar 19, 2010

Well, I liked the first few chapters.

I think I'm gonna go sit in the sun and read some more.

Oooo that sounds awesome. I should go outside with a book too... Wish I could take the laptop, but I don't think mom will spring for that. I want to enjoy the weather while it lasts, but I REALLY need to get some work done. Birthday party tomorrow and then some stuff to do on Sunday so I don't have a lot of time to relax this weekend.

At school today, we all got pulled aside and informed that our old social studies teacher (7th - 9th grade) died today. She was young, in her thirties maybe, and she had a brain tumor. She wasn't really my favorite teacher, she was actually kind of a jerk, but still. Wow. *waits for shock to wear off*

Imbroglio · Mar 19, 2010

It's snowing like crazy here, holy cow!

And wow, Mae. That's kind of weird when you figure things like that out.

Don't say snow! *is supposed to get rain/snow this weekend when she can FINALLY enjoy the weather after being sunny all week*

*continues stumbling around in daze*

Okay, maybe I'm not that bad off, but our poor literature teacher was bawling her eyes out, they were really close.

MargoWest · Mar 19, 2010

That's so sad mae.

I've had a couple teachers die, and it's always sad.

KarlaErikaCal · Mar 19, 2010

I'm sorry to hear that Mae....

I must stop myself from writing my novels until AFTER I get this paper written! If I don't send it off today (preferably before 6-7) I'll fail the class!

But I'm really into Limelight, and my guy MC has a hilarious voice. This is looking to be a romantic comedy!

inkspatters · Mar 19, 2010

Wow, Mae

*hugs*
