Oh, I think not, Mr. Gloop. I think not. On iTunes: "Float On" Modest Mouse Ever notice how things are funnier when you repeat them? Like instead of just saying, "Maybe I will" you say, preferrably in a silly and/or seductive voice, "Maybe I will, person'snamewhoIamtalkingtohere. Maybe I will." So the second draft of that short story is finished, all though there's still a lot of work to be done on it. I'm very pleased with the second half of it, and not so pleased with the first, but hopefully I'll be able to work all of that out in the next few weeks. I am very excited for Monday though when my darling peers workshop my story. Should be quite an experience. ^_~ Besides that, I'm also excited because I've thought of a few other story ideas that I seriously want to pursue. One of them I actually got from this cheap looking motel that's on Monroe Street called the Sunset Motel. That place is just ripe for a story. The other one would be a little more science fiction, which is something that I have not written a lot of (despite the fact that I like it very much). Already there are a few different influences that I'd like to work with, and though it's going to generally be a kind of light, amusing, action-packed tale (I think) there are definitely some darker character aspects that I want to incorporate as well. Things about human nature and stuff, which I think probably come across the best when doing sci-fi pieces because there's suddenly a much bigger picture. Anyway, I guess it would be a lot like Cowboy Bebop in that aspect - very funny, clever, and yet so incredibly sad in some parts. Hopefully it'll work out. I also want to push myself to write a few more 55 fictions. It's so much fun and it's the perfect way to make myself write concise, concrete plots in the shortest amount of space possible. Good practice. ^_^ The weather sucks. It's misty and it's cooling off again. I don't mind the cold weather, but I do mind being wet in cold weather, and I mind it when it's perfectly warm and sunny and then cue drastic change, it's miserable the next. My red blood cells cannot keep up with this! By the way, I like biology, but I hate it for being at 9:05 in the morning. Let's just say I have a lot of studying to do this weekend. Got a couple tests next week. Not cool (though I am thankful for the second chance with the biology tests. I should just go to class more.)
