Seem as no one has replied to my previous post about my after NaNoWriMo challenge I have decided to lay down the concrete rules and inform you what it will involve and such.

1) 65,000 words in the month of December, with is 31 days long which therefore means 2097 words a day.
2) Can be up to three separate projects added together but all have to be fiction and school work of any kind is not counted.
3) Starts at 00:00 on the 1st of December, promptly after NaNoWriMo ends.
4) Ends at 23:59 on the 31st of December.

And finally, no one has to do this it is just a little bit of fun for people that can't stand the fact that NaNo is ending this year and want to continue writing. Please get back to me if you want to participate, it is open to everyone and don't feel like you even need to get the 65k that is just a target to aim for.

Thank you. Simone.

65,170 words of my NaNo novel done... blah words to go, and I really want to rewrite it already.


Also is setting a challenge for myself: During the month of December (31 days) one (me) will write 65,000 words. And seen as I can manage this in 26 days for NaNo without even breaking a sweat this next month should be fun.


Anyone wanna do it with me? I already got someone from my NaNo region to do it, and possibly a second as well.

I have to get another filling. On the same side as my other one the same thingy has happened to the tooth behind so now I have to have it filled. Why don't my teeth form right? Why? Oh wells, at least the Dentist was nice. Way better than Mrs Best (really, that was her name. And she was the crappiest person I've ever known - she loved to poke and prod all my teeth and spray foul tasting air into my mouth...).

NaNoWriMo is starting on friday and I have no idea how to start... I think I know where to go from there but starting is going to be the hard thing. I've decided to write it then complain about how crappie it is at later date/time. I just what the first 2k before I go to bed on Saturday morning.

Side-note: Not doing anything special for Halloween but thinking of maybe writing a little drabble using the characters for my NaNo just to get used to using them. Good or bad idea?

Is anyone else as bored as I am at the moment or is it just me?

Ok, so what did I do today?

Got up went to school, sat in boring lessons, almost fell asleep in French (and trust me that was the most exciting point of the lesson) played Hockey came home, washed hair, ate dinner, watched CSI.

However in doing the aforementioned Hockey I got whacked on the foot and therefore that is swollen, and almost broke a bone in my hand. Peachy.

Blocking Jenny, a girl I've mentioned before, somehow we ended up with her stick wrapped around my body whacking me on the hand and bruising it really quite deeply. Mum just came home saw the bruise and had to check my hand to see if anything was broken. Whoo.

Though plus we did end up winning the match... hahahar, losers. (To Year Nines).

Anyone else do anything interesting? Or was it just me that had a totally fantastic day? (Sarcasm how I love you! xD)

I think my fingers have blisters on the ends... that can't be a good thing. Oh wells, it s done and dusted now, my first piece of coursework that is. The comedy aspects of a play called "Billy Liar" though I can't say that it was funny at all... just painfully long to try up the notes for.

Thanks to the writing weekend I managed it, I think, can't be sure I'll be keeping all my finger though, poor things were worked to the bone! I think I should learn from experience though and start the next piece soon-ish, not leave it to be a rush on the weekend before it needs handing in.

Pretty proud of myself though, 5503 words in two days writing something I hated, about the right amount I hope to be writing for the weekends during NaNo, though writing something I like... maybe a lot more. xD

Can't wait for NaNo to come around, I've got my characters worked out the basic plot all there... though there is one thing I'm having a problem deciding. Whether or not to include a love triangle with the main pairing in it. I'm leaning towards doing it because then I'd be able to put in a lot of tension between the two main characters and this other one. Of course I know who's going to end up together, I just don't know how to fit this other guy into the equation. (Two girls and a guy, guess which is my main pairing, :P).

Off to level up on FFXII, see ya for now.

Teeny.

Uh, hate being in GCSE years. The teachers are trying to scare us into working and it's kinda crap, and boring, I think I've had a million different lectures from my teachers about how the next to years will make or break me. I think another few lessons with them and my will to live will the be broken though.

Good news from school though, my French Teacher Mr O'dwyer said that I could get an A* in my GCSE if I worked for it, the only one in the class. :D And my Chemistry teachers said I could get an A* too!

Writing my English coursework at the moment, and my god it is boring as hell. Billy bloody Liar. Its not even funny and I have to write about it's comedic effects or something like that. Its going to be a long one. And the other annoying thing, Wooders (English Teacher) is probably going to be giving us our media analysis paper straight after we hand in this one. T-T.

Got some good ideas for my NaNo work though so I'm happy about that. Finally I think I might have an idea that I can run with, and actually still have a plot at the end! :D

So that's my life for the last few months, kinda crap huh? Hoping to talk again soon, if you don't here from me I'm buried under a mountain of GCSE work.

Teeny.

Small yay moment, Dad's ordered me season six of CSI! I'm only like three seasons behind the showing and for a year of watching I'll say thats pretty good considering I've been doing school, watching Battlestar and such as well.

Also kinda cool, Nikki's introduced me to Ravenblack's Vampire game, I've had my Vampire a week maybe more maybe less and they're already a Aspirant Elder and I've drained 223 pints of blood, and again thanks to Nikki and her Vamp, I've got the powers of Suction, Shadows (3) and Thievery (3). It's kinda cool walking around a city and drinking people.

I'm now a Captain on my Star Wars Battlefront game and I've concurred the Empire's Galactic Conquest, which were a couple of things that I set out to do this holiday, so again, pretty damn pleased with myself.

Another thing that Nikki's done for me is give me a book to read, The Moon Riders by Theresa Tomlinson, it's a good book, got it three days ago and now I'm about 15 pages to the end, and if you know anything about me its that I'm not a partially fast reader. In fact so as a snail that's going as slow as it can might describe my reading pace better.

The Characters are really interesting and so is the plot, I've always enjoyed ancient fiction and stuff like that based around the Roman and Greek time periods, something there fascinates me. I enjoyed reading both Odysseus and the Iliad in Classics and Ovid's tales weren't half bad. (Just not enough blood and guts in my opinion).

So yeah, after I've finished the Moon Riders I'll be starting on the second book of Kate Mosse's that I'm going to read, Sepulchre. Labyrinth was a different way of telling a story which I enjoyed so I thought way not to the second. And after I've finished that I'll be finished Galactic North by Alistair Reynolds and starting on my of his stuff. So I've got a pretty full reading schedule, for me.

That's it for me. Hope ya all having a good summer!

Heylo again after so long, I updated my Firefox to the version three and then no Livejournal login thingy, I was waiting for it to get to Firefox V3 but it's been a month now soo... here I am again with a different password.

Nothing much going on with me now, going cycling every week which I can tell ya is killing my butt, part from that I'm bored stiff with nowt to do... T-T

Sooo, I've decided to restart my Pokemon Diamond game, left it for a few months and now I've no idea what the hell I'm supposed to have been doing, oh well. Playing FFVIII and FFXII at the same time ish, training up on both at the moment so a little bored there, but the training is needed, looking for weapons parts on VIII as well. Squall is a bugger to find Lionheart with, but I'm slowly getting there. It's the Pulse Ammo I'm have trouble finding.

Other than that I'm writing again after a little break, trying to find something I want to do for NaNo so I actually have a plot when I get to Nov 1st.

Meet a new friend on Fanfiction.net, Crys or Scuby depends who ya talkin to, or what time it is. She's an english teacher in america, Nikki's happy cause I'm careful with my spelling and stuff when am talking to her, of course I really don't care about that here.

What's everyone been up to then? Having more fun than me?

WALES HAVE WON THE SIX NATIONS WITH A GRANDSLAM! (For all of you that don't follow rugby that means they are undefeated in the competition!)

Wales deserved that win after all the great plays they have made throughout the tournament! Wales are the best rugby side in the northern hemisphere!

And because I am WELSH (Welsh people rule!) I am now going to have a small party!

Cymru am byth!

Well completed 1, 2, and 4 of my to-do list. Feeling mighty happy with myself. I now have 'ownership' of a laptop, Nikki's old one that's been fixed which is kinda cool. Working on three new stories at the moment so I think I better update my to-do list. Sorry for not posting much at all, nothing interesting going on in my life at the moment.

1) Level 30-35 FFXII

2) Finish "The Owl Service"

3) Finish first chapter of "Give it Time."

4) Finish first chapter of "Vampire Lover."

And whoo! Wales win! (Rugby) I wonder if we can get the Triple Crown and the Grand-slam like 05?

As the subject so rightfully says, I am done! I have finished Kingdom Hearts, my first completed Final Fantasy game and my second finished Final Fantasy game! Oh it feels so good right now... though my thumbs have been threatening all evening that they were going to just fall off and now I stop playing I think I should have listened to them earlier 'cause they hurt now! T-T

Oh well you know what they say, "No pain, No gain!"

And I got the secret ending for the game too. So feelin' happy.

Starting FFXII tomorrow.

Oh and 'cause Nikki wanted me to say, she cooked a good stir fry for dinner tonight, the only 'cooked' meal that she can make, (and even then my mum was standing over her shoulder the whole time). Nonetheless, and you'll probably never see me repeating this, she did a good job.

Well I haven't finished it yet but I am rather happy with what I have managed to do so far, which is to finish and win the Hades Cup without dieing once. My thumbs are about to fall off with the button bashing I was doing in the last few battles. But everythings good. I should hopefully manage to beat Kingdom Hearts by the end of the day like I want to. But for now watching a Wales Rugby match on tv. See ya!

~Teeny is happy!

Well, D&T is a shit lesson anyway. Mr Fucking stupid asshole teacher gave us two different pieces of homework due tomorrow, one that was simple enough, and then the second that has about three/four different parts to it. Asshole.

First day of CCF (Combined Cabet Forces) tomorrow, so I have to go to school in my recruit uniform, wonderful. That means walking up a normal main road, with normal highschooler looking at me funny. Freakin' wonderful.

Step aerobics hurt like a motherfucking bitch. I mean my back feels as if the whole of the British and American armies have marched over it three or four times. Motherfucking asshole.

Err... have I mentioned too much homework for one night? Yes? Sorry for repeating myself.

Now last whine of the day...

My mother, glorious as she is, decided that today was a good day to leave me sitting in the wind and the rain, sitting on a hard stone wall, with a huge wooden art project, my P.E bag, with P.E kit inside, and my school bag, for about an hour, before she decided that she would come and get me from where she was 'held up' at work.

Today was the one day when I needed her to be on time or even better early. Because I had to pick up before mentioned art project, carry my schoolbag, (huge thing) and my P.E kit with me, and with the weather, chucking it down all day. Right so school finishes at four o'clock, I go pick up my art project, carrying my P.E bag as I had that last and my schoolbag, goes outisde to find where my mother promised to park and get to school early cause of all my stuff. So I don't see her car, I walk back down the row of cars, nope haven't missed it, goes to sit on the end wall of the park car waiting. At around ten past four I text her, "Where are you?" no reply, then I text my dad, and then Nikki asking where Mum is. Nikki called me at four twenty and says that if mum isn't there in five minutes then Dad will come to pick me up.

At this point I had just got a message from my mum saying that she just got 'held up' at work for twenty minutes and that she was 'on her way'.

At this point it was chucking it down. I had to take off my blazer, the only thing I has on apart from my white shirt, to cover my art project, and used my unbrella to best cover the project, me getting soaked to the skin, as I couldn't go inside as I had no idea when my mum was arriving.

Four thirty, mother appears and goes to park at the other end of the car park leaving me to carry all my stuff, a soaking wet blazer still covering the project, put my umbrella down cause I couldn't hold it up and the rest of the stuff. And get a really see-through shirt and soaking hair and a freezing body. On the day that she promised to be early.

And now I feel sick....

~Hugs needed.... Teeny the forgotten.

Ever so slightly pissed off today cause for starters. Singing lessons that were supposed to be on today are now on friday. Last twenty minutes of the day for me, but buggeringly enough it's in the middle of my art lesson and art is one of the few lessons that I don't want to skip out on. It's so unfair!

Second reason - thanks to the morons in my class we're now locked out of our formroom at breaks and lunchtimes and afternoon changeovers. Not to mention the morons broke at least three tables during lunch as well as messed up the classroom. Motherfuckers.

Three reason - Physics homework was insanely annoying cause the infra-red images we had to identify didn't photocopy well and are that shit.

Fourth reason - double geography, thats a whole hour of geography, first thing tomorrow afternoon, followed by a whole hour of history with one of the most boring teachers on the planets. Our very own Mr Scriven. Asshole.

Fifth reason - My phone key pad is doing a weird flashy thingy and it won't stop and that's been annoying me while I have been texting.

I would go on but you don't need to know all the multiple piles of rotting shit that's going on inside my head at the moment. No one needs that. Not even the one who's head it happens to be in.

~A very pissed off and annoyed and in the fucking mood to swear little a fucking weed-head. Teeny
