NaNoWriMo All Over Again

I wasn’t planning on participating this year, but last night I was doing an idea exercise and had this great idea that I decided might be fun to do for NaNo. So this morning I wrote the prologue and so I’m 500 words in.

I would be worried that I’m still about 8,000 words behind, but I finished NaNo in 10 days back in 2010. What I am worried about is that I have a full-time job now and I had all these plans but I haven’t had a chance to do any of them because I’ve just been so busy. In 2010 I was able to write 5,000+ words every day because I had the time. Today I was almost late to work because I wrote 500 words.

Either I’m going to have to get up earlier in the morning or stay up later. It’ll be worth it.

The Parker Project

So, I did kind of a jerk move today, but I’m actually not feeling bad about it. And I might continue with it if Mom doesn’t get too mad.

I call it the Parker Project.

Oh, hi.

I’ve been kind of silent for a while.

I have a good excuse.

Ok, not really. I just kinda, sorta joined the Legend of Korra fandom and it’s been kind of crazy over there. I actually created another blog just so I could spam reblog Korra posts and whatever the heck else I found hilarious.

Man, I thought I was a part of a fandom before… I don’t even know what is going on with me feelings. I can hardly contain them. I scared Parker pretty bad tonight with the sudden appearance of Asami.

Freaking gorgeous.

So, I’ll probably be gone again until the Legend of Korra is over with because I just have so much to say that I don’t really want to clog this blog with. Because the Legend of Korra is just a TV show (no matter how much I wish it wasn’t) and this blog is for my real life.

If anything remarkable happens, I’ll let you know. Like that I accidentally admitted to Skyler that I have a crush on him a week ago and very confusing things have happened since then.

Have I mentioned how much I hate shopping for cars?

And since I have less than $2,000 to work with, it’s even worse!

I just want a good car that I can rely on for another 5 years at least. But when the only decent cars being sold at less than $2,000 are freaking 20 years old and have 250K miles on them already, I don’t have a whole lot of choices!

I need a car soon, though. And my mom is getting more and more anxious for me to get one, also. It doesn’t help that my friends keep breaking things in her car!

I WILL NOT BE WORKING WHEN THE LEGEND OF KORRA PREMIERES!

I was seriously worried about this, you guys. Because then I would have to hope that they put it on demand, or illegally stream a crappy version of it a week later, or wait until it comes out on DVD or something.

But I don’t have to because I won’t be working! Yay!

I’ve already seen the first two episodes like 20 times, but I want to be there when it’s officially released. I was like 3 years late when it came to The Last Airbender, so I’m pretty excited to be here when all of this exciting stuff is happening.

38 hours, you guys! I’m so excited!!

First Sentence: Submission box is open!

Anonymous asked: who produced the film? who consulted in the making of it?

I… have no idea what you’re asking me. You need to specify which film you’re talking about. I don’t recall talking about a film in any recent posts.

Buying a car is hard work!

Especially when you’re not going through a dealer and have to rely on the integrity of other people.

Plus, I really don’t want to see most of my money go!

I called like 7 people today about the cars they had posted online and only 3 answered. Two of those three I decided that I didn’t like the cars, and the third one I was feeling really good about, but then he kept saying that he was too busy working and then just stopped answering my calls altogether.

Hopefully I will have a car tomorrow!

I was going to catch up on my homework…

But then it was such a nice night out that I had to sit in the front yard and enjoy it. And then Skyler just happens to drive by the house and then invites me to go biking. So, of course I agree to go do one of my favorite things with one of my favorite people.

Now I don’t want to finish my homework…
