To my muse: I disapprove of you... Greatly.

So, I broke 20,000 words on my bigbang fic, and I almost want to abandon ship...

GRRR...

But it happens, right? I mean, I have a few more weeks until I finish my first draft, but I don't know exactly how close I am to finishing.

AND

Because I've been inspired to writing about five different other stories. *sighs* What do I do???

Okay, so onto random ramblings about my life.

1) I just got my license a few days ago. Yeah, yeah. I know I'm 22, but I never had a reason to have it during high school because I walked to school and I played sports with my best friend. And I never needed it at college because the bus system in Oregon is good enough that I don't need it. But I finally got it, which means, I get to pick up the little brother from school everyday until I go back up to school. 
2) I got a new phone the same day I got my license, and it broke 4 days later. I didn't do anything. I just put it in my purse when I went to watch a movie, and when I took it out, have my screen was white and it looked like I dropped it. WHAT!!! So we went to the people who sold us the phone and they had to call T-Mobile to see if they would give us a new phone even though if it broke within 15 days, I can return or exchange it. T-Mobile wasn't going to give us a new phone because we didn't have insurance on it. But blah blah blah, they gave us a new phone instead of letting us even think about changing services.
3) I haven't been to a beach since I was in the Philippines... Weird considering where I live.
4) I bought Red Hood. It was so violent and the plot was so good. Not to mention NPH and Jensen Ackles as voice actors. Everyone should watch it. That is why when me and my friend used to argue about DC comic book heroes, I always chose Batman while she chose Superman. As much as I love aliens, Batman is a BAMF!
5) Speaking of superheroes, I saw the THOR trailer and it looks amazing. He might be my new Marvel superhero since I'm still not okay with Chris Evans playing Captain America. He is a good actor and all that, but I just have a problem with someone being two Marvel superheroes. Yeah, Ryan Reynolds did it, and I still have a little bit of a problem with that too.
6) I finally got a book shelf in my room after so many years of needing one. My top shelf is all of my DVDs. I never realized how many scifi shows I owned. Roswell, Angel, Buffy, Dark Angel, Supernatural, Smallville. I mean, there is also Life, One Tree Hill, and CSI: New York, but majority...
7) I really need to go to the beach.

That being said... I'm pretty sure it's a lot of stuff that people really don't care to read about.

This is the randomness that is DauntPerplexity

I hear you on the big bang thing ;~; It's just really hard to put words down! Still, we've got a while until the final due date.

Wasn't Red Hood absolutely amazing??? If the fact that Jensen Ackles being in it hadn't sold me into it already, the fact that they were doing the Red Hood story AND the fact that NPH was in it were the things that did it for me. But wow, the entire cast was excellent! It's definitely one of DC's better movies (I always have to refrain myself when people talk about Green Lantern like it's the second coming because maybe it's just me but I didn't really enjoy it :/ Maybe it's 'cause I know almost nothing about the GL universe... )

I'M SO EXCITED FOR THOR!!!

I KNOW!!! I keep thinking that I'm making progress, but I never do. I always want to change something, or add something, or think that the story isn't good enough. I have to keep telling myself that I still have time.

Yes, it was! The voice actors for the movie were spot on. And the story was so good! They need to make a second one. I'm waiting anxiously for it...

ME TOO!!! Especially with all the actors that they have... Countdown begins now.

Well, I gave up on my BB weeks ago because I realized I could never make it. So, 20,000 word mark? That's something! I'm sure you'll do fine :)

Dude, I have had the same phone for three years and nothing ever happened, but my brother's broke four times in the first few weeks alone. It's annoying D:

Thank you for the encouragement. It's just some moments of 'I DON'T KNOW!' *sighs*

Yeah. Grrr. My first phone ever, the only problem I had with it was that the battery died. Then I've had three phones after that. But my most recent one... breaking in 4 DAYS. Annoying is definitely the right word.

I'm jealous of your muse, after my computer died my muse ran off on me and when it came back it demanded to focus on Sam/Castiel which was just not working for me.

I'm pretty sure that having an active muse is just as bad as having no muse at all. And now that Secret Angels IV for deancastiel sign ups have started... My muse is loving it. But my big bang is not. Gosh, just another reason to drop out and just post the story eventually...

I'm so excited for Secret Angels <33

And girl...any story you write I'll be there. But if you feel like you need more time I think it'd be best to take as much as you need to write the whole thing out instead of rushing it and then ending up not liking it.

Me too. I'm sooooo excited! I really want to sign up. I had so much fun last year.

Oh wow, thank you for that amazing comment. Yeah, you are really helping me to make my decision about it. Thank you so much for helping me make my decision.

I loved your story from last time, it was the Married in Vegas yes? I want to smish that story.

Aww I'm all embarrassed, I'm glad I helped :3 :hugs:

[identity profile] dauntperplexity.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. That was one of my two stories. I have a sequel that I'm going to post probably on Tuesday.

Aw, don't be embarrassed. I needed someone to help me out, and you were there. But I've officially dropped out, because I want to be able to post it on my own time and I have way more stories on my plate than I expected.

[identity profile] cherryshadowz.livejournal.com 2010-08-14 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay sequel! <33 I'm excited for that.

Well I can't wait to see what you come up with, I'll lounge about, set up camp, xD

I'm excited to actually get it posted up. And then there is the prequel that I've started writing (another reason why big bang keeps getting stalled).

You may be camping for a really long time. I think I'm going to work on both stories that I was planning on writing. But yay, more for you to read!
