Now Its Time for Me to Actually Do Something

So, I'm guessing all the people who are reading this through the powerofwords link know this, but just so the rest of the world is aware, I am attempting to write a novel!!

November, as many of you know, is National Novel Writing Month in the U.S. Also known as NaNoWriMo. The goal is to write 50,000 words in the month of November, and I am, at this point, an embarrassing 17,465 words behind. However, this is also the longest piece I've ever written. I am rather proud of it.

If anyone has read those crazy fanfics I wrote about my friends, its along those same lines. If you haven't read those, go onto Fanfiction.net, author search 'A. R. Tinromen' and read them. Do it! NOW! Ok, and if you're going to be a loser and not doing what I explicitly ordered you to do, well, sucks to be you! My point is that the novel is about myself, Coral, Franzi, Michael and Rachel from those stories. The only difference is that it somehow ended up being completely serious. (I really have no idea how that happened). My other friends Tabitha and Mickell also ended up in it. Its actually quite epic. The Russian Mafia is involved and everything.

I also added the soundtrack to the novel in place of the old playlist. Take a listen, especially to the song 'Only the Young' by Brandon Flowers... I'm in love... 

Ahahaha! (Also known as things that make me happy)

I suddenly feel just a little bit awesomer than I did ten minutes ago. This is because I looked at the Stats tab.

I thought that everyone had stopped reading Blogger because apparently Tumblr is so much more awesome. I guess I can see the reasoning there, but I still personally like Blogger. But hey, apparently I'm not alone in the Blogger love. Can we say 8 page views since I posted the last blog!! I am nearly delirious with happiness right now... Its like the reverse end of the world.

Now since I'm here, I think I shall tell you some of the other things that make me happy:

• Getting things in the mail. I just love getting things in the mail. I don't know why, but there's something really special about receiving something in your mailbox that is actually for you and not spam mail.
• Sweater-dresses... I also love sweater-dresses. A lot of people think they're ugly, but I quite enjoy them. Especially when they have the awesome fold-over collar.
• Music. This seems so normal and mundane, but its true... Music makes me happy.
• My History class. Especially when we're talking about John C. Calhoun, Andrew Jackson or Cheese (Democracy). You kind of have to be there to know what I'm talking about.
• Random crap. I think the rest of the world kind of falls into this category. But I find it especially amazing when it works out in ways like MLIA (mylifeisaverage.com) and Unrelated Captions (.com)... Makes my life totally worthwhile...

What Happens When You Drink

   So, I was talking with Taz this summer, and we have decided something that I find rather scary.
The way that a person drinks Mountain Dew as a young person dictates what sort of alcoholic they will be when they reach adulthood. This actually may not be completely confined to Mountain Dew and might include all sorts of pop... But not SanPelegrino  because that is just like fizzy lemonade. Besides, San Pelegrino means "saint shaves the rat" in Italian, who'd want to drink a crazy thing like that??

But, this unfortunate fact (the pop one, not the Italian rat one) has come to show me that I will probably be an alcoholic, and Taz will social drinker... This could be and issue...
