    Cats..... *mumbles and slinks away*

    I'm starting to work on plans for my sister's bachelorette party. Derby themed--we're going to be the Bash-her-lorette Betties. :D

    I don't get along with Cats. My friend's Cat bit me several years ago.

    That's not true... My cat is more like a dog than my dog is. It depends on when you get them and how socialized they are as kittens. The same goes for dogs as well. My dog is more like a typical cat would be but I chalk that up to the fact that she's an older rescue dog who lived in a cage for the first 5 years of her life. She has no idea of what a toy is or people really.... Yes everything is usually on a cats schedule but the same can be said for some dogs. My cats run around and beg to be played with all the time much like a dog does...

    Basically ... The best way I can describe most dogs v cats would be...

    Dogs have owners and cats have staff.

    This story is taking some effort...

    I know there's something worthwhile in here, but it's not coming easily. I don't think the hot, sticky weather is helping. Then again, its worked its way into the story, so maybe it's just adding to it.

    Dry rot, and a person whose life is falling apart. It's a little difficult to describe, but I have a clear idea of it in my head. Which makes a change.

    Playing Fallout 3 on my laptop. I can't believe I've forgotten most everything in the game despite me having beaten it many, many times in the past.

    I liked Fallout 3. Even if at the end it was really really easy.

    It was. :/

    I prefer Fallout: New Vegas over this one, tbh.

    Vegas was better, just because it had The Kings and 'Kai-Sar'.

    Hi Tavern.

    Banz, awesome about your book. :)

    I recently printed off a copy of my manuscript and it's 114 pages. I'm reading it before I press onward, because I'm at a crossroads point for the MC. They've just reached the destination they've been questing too and now it'll be time for some mystery-cracking and showdowns. I have to sit down and map how this'll play out.

    Thank you...I'm SO excited, up until now has been mainly mystery buildup and quest action but now, things are going to click into place, and the showdowns are going to be huge.

    How's yours coming? Which do you plan to start on first, Terra or Blue Pheonix?

    Does anywhere know where this new meme is coming from?

    Basically, it's the "I am disappoint" line, usually relating to "Son, I am disappoint."

    Just been seeing it a lot recently...

    Well it's a mix between the two, sometimes i work on Blue Phoenix and sometimes i will drift onto Terra. Right now im a little stuck on the Timeline of Terra from when it's created to the time the main trilogy takes place. I know what happens in the trilogy, but im kinda writing down a history of Terra like Tolkien did with Arda (but not in the copying manner) but just how he set up his world before the events of his books. Im just stuck on how to begin and how to move it along without going too fast on years. Like i started, and then i couldn't figure out if that would be realistic enough for my races to be created into the world that quickly. That's the only trouble ive had. When i look up how to set up a valid timeline that makes sense im still lost. I know how i want it done, but im just lost cause it feels too fast when it comes to amount of time. It's hard to explain.

    ^Go to sleep!

    I just got back from practice, and frack, it was frustrating...the skater who was assigned to coach today didn't seem very prepared, so it seemed like we wasted a lot of time while she went around asking skaters to pick drills to work on. Then, during one of the drills that I have a hard time with, she and one of the refs were telling me to do it the wrong way. I spent the entire drill doing it the wrong way, then got told at the very end by another skater that I had been doing it right to begin with....gah.

    That sucks. :/ Hopefully she's better prepared the next time, and the next practice is better!

    And once again, I can't sleep even though I'm dead tired. So I'm back here again.
