Current TroNoWriMo count: 10,437 words.
Chapters finished: 1
Days left: 20

Jesus, do I have to play catch-up this weekend. But I finished a whole chapter. Yay, me! Only thirty to seventy thousand words to go!

...

I should probably ignore that I said that last part if I don't want to freak out.

EDIT: Urgh. I so need a new keyboard. My right arrow key doesn't work. *pounds keyboard with a hammer* Yay, an excuse to buy a cordless!

WRITING-A-SCENE-ON-A-FARM EDIT: Is it wrong that I've actually thought about buying The Waltons on DVD? Not because I like it, because, I mean, it's The Waltons, for crying out loud. But I just want to do what my dad used to do, which is put on an episode, turn down the volume and give it an entirely new soundtrack. The last time he did it, two little old biddies were tricking John-Boy into coming down into their basement to fix their torture wheel so that they could show off their dominatrix skills to him.

Yes, my father is strange. And quite obviously, the schmuck I got my sense of humor from.

I-LOVE-MY-NEW-DEFAULT-ICON EDIT: I've been thinking of dressing up as Boo at the next Dragon*Con. Let's not even get into how wrong that is and just talk about how cute I'd look with tiny pigtails when allowed to act like a toddler in public.

ADDENDUM TO I-LOVE-MY-NEW-DEFAULT-ICON EDIT: I really need to buy Monsters Inc. Like, right now.

Monsters Inc. DVD

Hmm. I read "I so need a new keyboard" as "I so need a new boyfriend." Which made the rest of the sentences very strange.

Maybe I should go back to sleep.

Please do it, and take pictures. Actually, we want a video of you made up as an icon re-creating this too-cute-for-words one.

Pry your arrow key off and make sure there's nothing hiding under there. Like a cookie crumb. Or small gnome.

With laptops, there's a 98% chance that the key will snap back on with no problem. With desktop keyboards, it's a 99.999% chance.

That's what happened to my arrow key. Except that it was the left arrow key. And there was no gnome.

All your DVDs and your Boo icons and you don't have Monsters Inc.?

*is shocked and appalled*


Don't buy The Waltons. Buy this. ... Because I want it but I'm not actually going to buy it. But if you buy it I can live vicariously through you.

hi

In all the time I've been running across references to NaNoWriMo on my friends' list (and I've been LJing for 2.5 years, so probably about that long), you're the first person who's mentioned what that actually is.
