Clearly I'm not right in the head.

apocalypsosCurrent writing status:
My Bigbang -- Weeeeeeell. Hmm. I have an idea, and I have it started. I also have two weeks and something like seventeen thousand words to go. I could finish it in time, and it would help if I got laid off for this next shift, too, but even if I don't get it done for Bigbang I'm still planning on finishing the damn thing. Oh, yeah, and that plan I had to beef up the numbers on it yesterday? I ended up slacking off instead. I think I needed that, though, because I've been all WRITE WRITE WRITE for weeks now.
My novel -- Pretty good, actually. I'm going to try to get two more chapters done today and if I'm lucky I'll crack the halfway point by the time I'm theoretically going back to work on Friday.
Other things:
1. I'm currently watching The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for some reason and Will Smith just walked into the room talking on a Zach Morris phone. That amuses me far more than it probably should. Oh, the late eighties and early nineties. Heh.
2. The 3 Trillion Dollar Shopping Spree -- What can you buy with $3 trillion that's NOT an illegal war that's killed thousands?
3. Pop stars who use chastity as a career move -- This is one of those things I roll my eyes over. I especially cringed at that "pure until marriage" bit from one of the Jonas Brothers (because they're apparently all wearing purity rings, EW) because I'd love for them to test me for purity. Not the technical version of purity, but the kind of purity where I don't watch porn or write smut or read erotica.
Also, to anybody wearing a "purity ring" -- the rest of us virgins want you to STOP THAT. Not only are you making us look stupid and like we're lying ("Oh, yes, Dad, I'm totally saving myself for marriage ... *innocent whistle*"), but some of you need to stop symbolically marrying your fathers in public. Also, that technical virgin bullshit's got to stop too.

Date: 2008-04-15 03:27 pm (UTC)The ones that make me laugh are the "born again" virgins. How does one declare themselves a virgin again after having sex?
The article mentions that Britney pioneered virginity as a career move. We all saw how well that worked out. The words "train wreck" come to mind.
The "marrying your dad" thing is seriously creepy. Didn't Texas just raid a cult compound for that sort of thing?
