Nineteen: Oh and...

Something I forgot to say yesterday...Britney Spears. Sarah Chalke (aka Elliot Reid from Scrubs). How I Met Your Mother. What? Also, I watched the Being Erica Season 1 Finale online last night and now I have to have to have to watch Season 2. As you can tell, not much work is going to be done today.

I just finished my wish list in the hope that some of my relatives will look at it and buy me stuff and I won't end up with manicure kits. Which are fine, but I have about a dozen of them.

As for NaNoWriMo, I'm at 30k as I write. 30,014, actually. I'll update at the end of the day where my word count is. Can I write 20k in four days? That's 5k a day. It sounds achievable, but then I have a mock exam for Critical Thinking, English Language and English Literature coursework.

Back to it.

EDIT: it's lunchtime and I'm on 31,003 words, have drunk hot chocolate, read some of The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas and started my coursework.

it's 3.30 (in the afternoon, not the morning!) and I'm on 32,007 words. My main character has returned home and is in an argument with her drunk mother. I need to name my MC's child at some point. I've watched Scrubs and Neighbours and my mum and one of her friend's are putting up my curtains, which should have been done ageeeess ago.

Eighteen: This woman is a GENIUS.

" '...we're gonna be there in a minute and we still haven't discussed what happened.'
'Because I don't want to discuss it, don't you get that? I mean Ethan, it's embarassing.
I said what I said...and you don't feel the same way and that's fine but I can't just move on and
you know- stop feeling what I feel.' "

That was a quote from Being Erica. If you haven't been watching it, start. NOW. E4, Monday nights, 10 pm. She's like how I'll be when I'm thirty-ish: with a degree in English Lit and working as a Junior Editor at a publishing house. The only difference is that she's Jewish. (I know that I shouldn't call her a genius as she doesn't write the show, but 'The writers of Being Erica are all GENIUSES.' just didn't seem to have the same ring to it. Also I have no idea of her intelligence levels.) ANYWAY (I'm in a caps lock mood, it would seem. and a brackets mood.) the point of that quote is that Erica and I are in a similar situation- we have both sort of recently told someone how we feel about them. There, however, is where the similarities end and where she had the conversation that I quoted, which lead to them not talking about it because he could that she didn't want to and they have practically forgotten about it. However, I don't have that and all I can wish is that she'd lend me her [time travelling] therapist so I could change things. Oh, and when I watched this (at about 1:46) I laughed ridiculously hard. Hopefully I won't be doing that if I get into uni, but then again I can't time travel...but...moving on.

NaNoWriMo...I'm behind and I did give up so I'm about 12k behind. Will I finish my the end of the month? I doubt it. But I'm keeping writing everyday and am so far managing about 5/6k and tomorrow I have a day off. So...we'll see. It's difficult.

There's some more writing competitions to enter, so I may do that as quite a few of them have a deadline in December. I keep making cookies as well and I've done some more work to the collage(s) in my room. There's coursework to do and essays to write. There's the pub quiz every Thursday and Piano every Monday. UCAS has been done so now I can wait for uni offers. I have plenty to keep me busy- theoretically.

I'm tired and I think Bruce Almighty is on so I'm going to make some hot milk, curl up with my duvet and watch that.
