maybe several things

This is what happens when you have characters who live in what is more or less the real world. Current events as Ford sees it.

( I wish these guys would shut up already. )

Okay, so even just doing the reformatting and skimming through FWOAP to make sure I haven't done anything else completely idiotic, I quickly noticed two things:

1: Ford is completely adorable.

2: These characters are always freaking interrupting themselves and each other. Seriously, they need to learn to get whole sentences out.

3: I am a total hack who happens to have good ideas sometimes.

SEE I'M SO MUCH OF A HACK I CAN'T EVEN COUNT RIGHT.

Okay, not really, because I managed to do some really cool things, but at the same time, there are times when I am reading it and going Omgwtf Annie of the past. What.

Okay, so I just churned out seven pages of gender-swapped Hartigan brothers stuff. This is what happens when you let me write from Jubal's point of view! (well, it really is Jewel's, whatever) I get super carried away and oh my god I don't even know how long this is going to go on because there is still a lot of stuff to go.

I GUESS IT WILL BE A HELL OF A BONUS.

...I should really be working on the epilogue because really, the bragging rights of having really finished a book don't work when you still have about 1700 words to go. And I really need to have a print version like the first week of school, so I can walk into Decker's class and be all HA! (he has been doubting my evaluation of the writing situation, and I would love to prove him very very wrong, very very obnoxiously.)

Also, one would never be able to tell that Decker is one of my favorite teachers ever by how I've talked about him here. Ahaha.

Things actually said today in class:

-Religion is JUST like sexual assault.

-Uncle Mexico needs you!

-I'm in love with Jonathan Coulton the same way I'm in love with George Washington.

-Hi ho Silver!
(Silver, dude, he just called you a ho.)

Keep in mind, this is a six-hour Honors summer school course taken by what are generally acknowledged to be the smart kids. Yes. (As a fun game, try to guess which ones I personally said.)

ALSO man, I have had way too much fun these last two chapters of FWOAP with minor characters. Nathan and Marco's entirely different ways of freaking out about the same thing amuse the hell out of me.

also that last one about hi ho silver was not actually said. But for some reason, I wrote it down and put it in the same place as the others. Not sure why. It is amusing, though.

First of all, this was the best April Fools' Day ever. I didn't get a chance to pull any jokes, but there were chances! And I witnessed some amazing ones.

But mostly, my day is summed up by this text I sent some boy in Wisconsin (if you are reading this, I love you):

argh one day i will live in a house where all the animals use the bathroom outside and i have to clean up far less feces everyday.

...yeeeeah.

( Boring writing stuff that I really just need to write down somewhere and which I'm sure no one else wants to know (unless maybe they were stalking me but I don't think anyone is right now so yes!) )

YES THAT ENTIRE THING WAS JUST AN EXCUSE FOR THAT LAST SENTENCE. SO WHAT.

Because she asked and my birthday is in...however many days it is from today until the 25th, here is a list of things it would be awesome to own. Pretty much everything is a little thing, except for the first thing on the list. (I figure if I say it often enough, it'll happen one day.)

-Xbox 360

-Stuff from the XKCD store
Including but not limited to! The actual size stickers, the switch and button stickers, and the Just Shy shirt. Also pretty much everything else in the store.

-Stuff from the Questionable Content Store Especially the "Everything is Ruined Forever " shirt and the "Math is Delicious" shirt. Yes I am strange. You knew that, I'm sure.

-The I solve my problems through violence shirt from here (if you have ever met me in real life, you probably know how true that is, pacifism or not)

-Also welcome is the first book in the Thursday Next series. Or any of the books from that series. I've been meaning to read it for like two and a half years, but it is strangely difficult to find books in the library when you don't know the author or the title. (I should probably work on that.)

Also, for those of you who are interested, I'm past 13000 words. Just not done with chapter four. (It is close, I promise you! I had auditions and a few projects due today, if you'll accept excuses.)

ETA: ALSO A PAID ACCOUNT WOULD BE NICE. I miss my icons....
