Very Nearly an Adjunct Lecturer of sorts...

Because I know hunterdane can't sleep at night if I don't post my NaNoWriMo total. ;-}

I'm going to try to do the next chapter and/or hopefully break 20K by the time I go to bed. I've been pretty far behind compared to last year. But considering how much of last years story was pre mapped out and/or is semi-autobiographical, I'm doing pretty well here. I love the way the story is shaping up and everyone is getting nice and sinister, starting to ignore the moral little voices in their heads. If you haven't already, do consider adding my writing journal, wednes_writes to your Flists. I cut everything and only post often during NaNoWriMo. It's only a "community" so I don't have to log in and out. But I always appreciate the feedback from anyone who has/takes the time to read.

My sleep schedule is a little off since I had to get up early this morning to talk to a class at U of M. They are learning about education and social work, learning about mental illness and drug abuse. So I and another woman from group went to talk to them. We were really well recieved and they asked lots of questions, listened intently, and seemed to gain a lot from hearing our courageous stories. So I was glad I did it even thought I was also pretty nervous about it. I do find it funny that people find our desire not to continue being fuck-ups as some kind of courageous act. Not everything that falls under the heading of pain in the ass is actually courageous. Then again, I am notorious for not giving myself nearly enough credit for the work I do.

Speaking of chicks in my group, one of them is marrying her girlfriend of several months and we are meeting to plan the cermony. They haven't offically asked me yet to marry them (perform the ceremony, I mean), they are looking around at different people But even being considered for such an important role in someones life if quite neat.

PS for those of you who asked why I didn't post about LOST this week; I didn't like it very much. In fact, it's the first episode ever that I didn't like very much. Thinking about it though, the advertising for it was terrible. If I hadn't been watching for someone to die, I wouldn't have been so bothered by them alluding to who it was in the first scene of the first "previously on" flashback. That said, I was not sorry to see her go; but I would not want to be Ana Lucia roundabout now.
Speaking of TV, Smallville in particular, what's up with the "silver kryptonite"? Isn't is black? What does it actually do to him besides the obvious? Who was that professor guy? Was that the guy from the ship? Am I missing something important...or is this show going the way of the Dead Zone?

EDIT 8:05am Didn't really see a reason to make a new post with this. But you know...BAM!!

I'm about halfway through Chapter Nine which dares to pose the question: do you dare trust a billionaire who gives you and your drunk buddy a taser and an...ahem...telescoping baton???

just a rambly comment from me :P

i was very bored with this weeks lost also. in fact, about 30 seconds before the 'oooo only good part-the ending' i had just said to Bill how boring the episode was.

but last season had a few 'blah 'episodes too, so im hoping that's just what this was. what do you think about the previews for next week?

and yeah, no matter what show it is anymore, i know its never going to be as good as the previews. esp when the previews make it seem THAT GOOD.

and, i didnt realize/know you could marry people. i think thats cool :)

I am an internet minister, but I take that shit more seriously than most people do. If I do it, it will be a handfasting, which is a pagany thing.

I am excited to see the story of the other survivors, I am hoping it will be told in conjunction with both sides finally meeting eachother. I am super duper excited for Rose and Bernard to see eachother again; if they don't, I will be very, VERY upset.

Hey!

Now cut that out! I'm never going to catch up with you at this rate. Actually, great stuff. It's kind of exciting to break certain points, isn't it? I bet you're looking forward to 25k. I keep thinking, holy shit, I wrote 20 pages. I can actually do this.

Keep up the stuff!

Well, of course you can. I have a freind doing her very first NaNo and was kicking my bitch ass until she went away for a week w/out a computer. It's amazing the stuff people can produce when they put their mind to it. This time last year, I had never finished any novel I ever started. now I'm getting rejections slips from publishers at an alarming rate. Soon, I'll make it out of the slush pile.

The silver kryptonite was between the black rocks, but that was also the stuff that dissolved into Spikes arm in the end, and it's also where he appeared from out of the ship. He first appeared as a pool of silver and then formed into Spike... or in Smallvilles case, not Spike, but Zod!!

Granted, Katie and I were talking that we thought it was silly to have not used Zod's name yet (except Lionel) in context with the character, but we think that maybe they are either trying to pull a fast one over on the younger kids who have no idea, or on the nerds who totally know it's Zod right now. Maybe he'll turn out to be someone else, but that wouldn't be as cool.

No, it wouldn't.

Thanks!

See you's tomorrow.

I've given up on the show coming up with anything surprising. He's Zod, and he's manipulating Clark for his own ends. The only thing I'm looking forward to now is Johnathan dying. Unfortunitally the one character I actually want to die, probably won't.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

No, Lois and Lana will both live...drag!

(note=For the purposes of this comment, I'm assuming you hate the same characters as me)

[nate101000.livejournal.com]

Yep. I was thinking Lana, but Lois should go too.

Back when we thought Cloe was dead I was hoping she would come back as Lois in whitness protection.

I'm proud of you for talking to that class. That must've taken a hell of a lot of guts.

ps-I added your writing blog.

[wednes.livejournal.com]

Thanks, and cool!!

Number 1
Getting your shit together is not courageous. But getting your shit together when you don't have a very large support structure is. If Chris(My Uncle) were to get his shit together, you wouldn't call it courageous, you'd call it 'bout time.

Number 2
Speaking of chicks in my group, one of them is marrying her girlfriend
That doesn't make any sense. Two women can't get married. There's no penis. You gotta have the penis. Otherwise it's not marriage, it's abomination.

If your Uncle Chris got his shit together, I'd buy a lottery ticket.
