Bonus Post: The (rather random and probably stupid) things I did yesterday
-I swept a dying beetle off the porch to the grass, either to his death or salvation. We shall never know.
-I blogged.
-I read this post and cried because I miss Alberta.
-I watched Julie & Julia and cried because DARN IT I WANT TO BE AN AUTHOR.
-I procrastinated.
-I listened to lots of Relient K (who are awesome, by the way (<3 electric guitar)).
-I finished editing a chapter of Formulas.
-I Googled Hungarian flowers (sunflowers bloom in October, by the way).
-I yelled at the fridge in French because it was being judgemental. (Not about my weight, which is what most normal fridges are judgemental about. No, it was judging how I cried in the movie, so I commented on its weight and ranted about how I am a fantastic writer, thank you very much. I'm not sure it speaks French, though, so I don't know if it understood anything I said. (And I'm not insane, by the way. Promise.))
-I almost cut off my finger while chopping a carrot.
-I worried about the creaking door, because it's probably a Weeping Angel or the Silence coming for me.
-I realized I cried about 100 times more today than I have ever cried at jiu jitsu, despite the fact that I always lose. Twice in one day from a movie and a blog post, but never from jiu jitsu. Take from that what you will.
-I edited another two chapters.
-I listened to more Relient K.
-I painted my nails, then realized that I couldn't wear my Birkenstocks without ruining them. (Life is cruel.)
-I listened to Owl City (but let's face it, half of my life is spent listening to Owl City).
-I edited two more chapters and hit my word count goal of 50,000 words. It used to be 40,000. It was a cause of a massive celebration.
-I did the laundry, the dishes and vacuumed like a good child.
-I enjoyed having a candle lit. (It's weirder than usual, actually. Growing up, we never lit candles because I have a brother who liked to see how many CDs he could fit in the CD player at once when he was little. (The answer? As many as you want, but it's not going to play anything ever again.) Needless to say, candles are a recent thing.)
Well, jabberwockies, what stupid and/or random things did you do in the past week? And do you like the smaller or larger pictures better?

Editing is always an effective use of time! :D And Julie and Julia is awesome!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is :) And isn't it?? I love that movie. Thanks for commenting, Ashley!
DeleteI'm glad I could make you laugh :) It's not a skill I have in real life, but apparently I'm funny over the Internet. I'll take what I can get. And thanks! That means so much to me!
ReplyDelete1) Congrats!
2) Congrats again! I'm glad you finished it. It's not a book I would ever read, I don't think.
3) Hahaha, you stole the words from my mouth.
4) I've only read the first Skullduggery Pleasant book? I think I need to read them in the future sometime. I'm glad Demon Road was good, I've heard lots of good stuff about it.
5) I haven't, I'm so sorry. I'll have to look her up.
6) That post was awesome. Just saying.
7) Also a very good post. It was very thoughtful and confused my minuscule brain.
8) Just checking, but YOU weren't driving, right? It was someone else driving and you fell asleep?
9) It is, it is indeed.
10) Again, never hear of her :/
11) Well, that's less fun, unless you're one of the few people who enjoy that kind of thing.
Julie and Julia is amazing!!! Thanks for commenting, Emily!
4) I'll have to get my paws on them!
ReplyDelete5) See above.
6)/7) You're welcome!
8) Oh, thank goodness! I was rather worried there.
10) See 4 and 5.
11) You're so lucky! Essays consist of me banging my head against my keyboard.
