That Moment...

As I said, I already had an idea.

TMW... You completely loose track of time and know you've got an hour to get ready to go for your volunteer work. Cripes!!

 

TMW someone has physically, for real, implemented the ideas you have for general living in your "futuristic" novel. Down to the lowest level of detail. Coz you just read their blog post about it. A blog post randomly linked by an FB "friend", who you don't even remember how you became FB friends with!!?



TMW you start planning something a bit more challenging...

 

TMW...you can't sleep and surprise, surprise it turns out the reason is because you've had a big cup of coffee. Black coffee. Straight out of the pot.

Why do I do this to myself? D:

EDIT:
Also, TMW you see in another writing forum a member with such a high opinion of himself that he insults and belittles those who likes to read fantasy and sci-fi, claiming that he wouldn't trust anyone who'd rather spend all day with their heads in the clouds rather than read about the dark, grim reality of the real world.

Hey, if I wanted to understand the grim reality of our world, I'll step outside or at the very lest turn on a news station and leave it running all day long.

 

TMW your hubby doesn't know how to separate his "speaking to employee" mode from his "speaking to spouse" mode, but no, you're the one who's being bitchy...

 

... just as long as he doesn't teach nursery school kids (I suppose?)

TMW deciding what to eat ends up postponing the meal so much that you reach the point where you're too hungry to be able to focus on anything else other than being too hungry, making the decision of what you want to cook even harder (especially if you haven't got a dishwasher, and all the pots and pans and dishes are dirty).

It's from an anime, but it's still weird.

 

That Moment when you realize that one of your fantasy POV characters is a colossal, arrogant, egotistical asshole. And he's supposed to be one of the Good Guys™. Oh gods help me...

In his introductory chapter alone, he...

• Acts like a superior know-it-all to someone he's supposed to be helping.

• Treats people of xyz groups not his own like they were either infantile children or just not even human.

• Blames it all on his tragic past.

The weird thing is, it makes perfect sense within the plot!

 

That moment you realize a thread you started has been pinned!

 

That moment when you realize that you hate real life for getting in the way of the forum for about a week.

 

TMW you find a Simpsons pen in your work desk left behind by some coworker. When you click it, it displays funny Simpsons quotes, including classics such as "Oh, I'm going to lose my job just cause I'm dangerously unqualified" and "Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand."

 

TMW you make harmless looking super noodles and they turn out to be spicy as hell.

 

TMW a TED talk blurb ends with (Note: this talk is not available for download.) and you find the same video on the TED channel on youtube. And download it from there.

Seriously, TED?

 

TMW you remember that if you aren't a Prime member, Amazon ships your package by mule train. Eight days to travel 281 miles.

 

TMW you're just too tired to give a fuck ...

 

Or too lazy.

 

TMW you wish you were too tired/lazy/male to give a fuck. It's too late, the email's gone, but I'm still stressing about it!
TMW it's time to drink but you're T-Total...Chewing gum really isn't the same!

 

Wait why do you have to be a tired, lazy, male to give a fuck?

 

TMW you wish you were domestic/obsessive/ female so you could clean your house.

 

TMW you discover chalk paint and realize that you're way behind the times, and have been restoring furniture the hard way for 5 years. But now you're so far into the hard stuff that simply applying a coat of paint seems like cheating. But on the other hand, this opens so many new doors ...

 

TMW you get another week to finish stuff you should have finished already. Oooohh yeah

 

TMW you shout at the TV during episode 7 of season 2 of Falling Skies for Mason to shoot the fish head alien as it hurts his son. Seriously fuck off with your fucking script you fucking morons.

So many cool twists and mini arcs.

So much dumb.

 

Yeah, it sucks when the character seems to lack basic common sense. It's like, "Wow, I have in my hands the one thing that could end my troubles once and for all, right this very minute. Let me not do that and make things harder for myself." Do you want the villain to win, people!?

TMW you learn a very important lesson regarding your creativity. Writing at night makes you unable to sleep.
<-- Yep, just found out about that last night; could not go to sleep until midnight because I was so excited.

 

Am learning very valuable lessons for writing. I also think they are perhaps trying to make it appealing to the YA market as well, which adds to my

 

TMW a grammar nazi corrects someone's spelling, introducing a spelling mistake of their own.

 

The Great Grammar Leader shall hear of this and exact punishment on the traitor! HEIL GRAMMAR!! *raises a red pen in the air*
