It's a letter to the king. It's from you.

So I definitely used my carbon tax rebate in exactly the way it isn't supposed to be used, but I was in the mood to throw money at two of my favourite web sites. xD For the first time ever I have a halo on my NaNoWriMo profile, woohoo! Maybe this will act as motivation to actually finish this year ... but I doubt it. :P

I am also taking bets on how many of my thirty-five icons I actually use, and how soon I regret purchasing them, lol. xD But oh well, going out and collecting them all provided me with a couple hours of distraction last night that I would've otherwise spent just whining about how sick I am. So. :D (Hilariously enough, I think I've actually used like half of these icons before, but I never keep icons so I had to go out and find them all again!!)

Nothing much else to report except I watched Dead Man's Chest the other day for the first time in an unusually long time, and so now Pirates is back to being my favourite thing ever. <3 I have Pirates of the Caribbean on my nametag at work (we have our favourite movies on our nametags), and the other day a guest asked me why I like it so much. I was just like, seriously, I could write an entire book on why I love this trilogy so much, don't ask me such a question when I'm trying to keep the line moving!! xD <33

I'm looking at your profile and you won two times!! That's so awesome! What exactly do you write about? I want to know more about this so maybe I can participate next year or something haha.

I think when you have a paid account, you just leave the icons you're kind of bored of in anyway. When I had basic.. I deleted any one that I rarely used/didn't like anymore.

Anyway hope you've been doing well hun! <3

For NaNo you can totally write about whatever you want to write about; this year I'll be working on a reeeeeally loose retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth. :) Definitely when November starts I'll be posting excerpts and wordcount updates like every other day. (I was reading through my November 2006 entries last night and they're so hilarious to me - I was so behind that I had to write 6,000 words a day every day for the last week, I can't believe I did it!) It would be amazing if you could participate next year! :D

Yeah, definitely with my basic account I rotated icons rather more than I probably will now. But we'll see! :D

Why DO you like Pirates so muchÉ

(I`m in the library and my keyboard won`t let me use question marks: so whenever you see a capital e with an accent aigu, that means I`m asking a question. OkayÉ)

I also really like your icon.

Also all your talk about nano has reminded me that I`m still novel-less for this year. Aeneas/Cassandra would be SO HARD. All that RESEARCH. Ugh. Also, did you know she gets raped by Ajax the LesserÉ DAMN that`s harsh - I don`t know if I could write it, unless I gave her a happier ending than that.

It looks like someone just left that computer on a French keyboard setting, surely you can find a way to change it back. It should be in the taskbar or something.

Aeneas/Cassandra would be SO HARD. All that RESEARCH. Ugh.

hahahahahahaha lolling foreverrr~ xD I love that you are "UGH"ing about reading about my most favouritest thing to read about, hahaha! Seriously, Shannon, you don't have to do any research! Just call me whenever you have a question. xD

And yes, I did know that. Pretty well none of the Trojan women get a happy ending. Although I've read one novel that just didn't include the rape and another novel that did but then allowed Cassandra to escape before Agamemnon could claim her.

[the-wykydtron.livejournal.com]

Well, I am apparently too dumb for language keyboards, OKAY? GOD!

Dude, I'm so harshed about that Agamemnon thing - I *liked* Agamemnon! Seriously! LEAVE CASSANDRA ALONE!!! This is just as bad as finding out that Terry Gilliam and Tilda Swinton signed the Polanski petition.

Well if you are writing Aeneas/Cassandra, you could make use of Aeneas' escape from Troy and have her waiting by the exit with him? Or you could bring Helenus in and somehow have him get her out? Or you could have her escape through her own sheer awesomeness?

FINE you do not have to write Trojan War fic if you don't want to. >:(

(And re: Polanski - don't read this week's Maclean's unless you would like to be angry for a while.)

ICON MATCHITUDE

[the-wykydtron.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the heads-up - I run into Maclean's on about a bi-monthly basis, so I'll avoid it this time.

I am currently trying to figure out how an Aeneas/Cassandra fic would work if it were set in Revolutionary France.

ANYWAYS what do you mean, motivation to finish?!?

WE ARE BOTH GOING TO FINISH THIS YEAR AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN SAY ABOUT IT SO THERE.
