writing makes my speaking english good?

[orangerful]

Well, so far so good - managed to write at least 100 word for each day this month. I'm using my poor, neglected Dreamwidth account as my writing journal if you want to take a peak. I'm not doing a whole story, mostly just trying to stretch out my creative writing muscles since I have not used them in so long. Might go back later and expand on them but right now really is just seeing what happens when I try to write. It's good for me :)

Have my Star Wars program at the library on Saturday which I am mostly prepared for. It's hard to prepare for an event when you have no idea how many people will show up. So I have two plans - one for a small group and one for a large group (let them run WILD!) *crosses fingers it goes well*

Going to have lunch with faeriesfolly tomorrow :) Excited to see her since she has now moved to the MD. I think we need to get lostacanthus, faeriesfolly, and colls over for a Maryland livejournal rock band meet up at my place :)

I watched a bit of disc 2 of Ken Burns' Prohibition special the other night and had to LOL - when the act was passed, they had doctors prescribing MEDICINAL WHISKEY! I was lol'ing because, seriously, history repeating is always hilarious. Also, I had to laugh that originally it was just hard liquor that was going to be banned, then some dude ninja'd in the part about "anything intoxicating" and everyone was all "OH WTF!" It's not the best Ken Burns special ever, but it's still edu-tainment and it's how I prefer to learn my history - by having Peter Coyote & co. read it to me while I look at photographs and then fall asleep in bed.

Picked up the weekly Buffy viewing again with maybedeadcat this week. We're almost done, this week was Season 7's Showtime with OMG BABY!FELICIA DAY! That rainbow beret..wow...and matching sweater. WHY? WHY DID THEY DO THAT? Anyway, this season doesn't feel as painful as I remember...maybe it's because I know where it's all heading.

Is anyone watching American Horror Story? One of my co-workers was talking about it today and it sounds...intriguing...if really really fucked up. Curious but also a bit scared to watch the pilot!

I think I burned my tongue the other day on some hot fish & chips...really hurts...probably doesn't help that i keep playing with it...still...OWIE!

I would so be up for a crazy awesome RB meet up!!! :D

I saw the pilot of American Horror Story... yeah it was definitely fucked up, lol. But I still liked it. I keep meaning to watch the rest but I feel like there are sooo many shows I'm watching this year! It's hard to keep up.

And omg! Both of those little short stories are really good. Especially that first one! I want to know moooaaarrr. DON'T WHAT? BLINK??????

Are you using a prompt generator? Maybe that's something I should try... I was going to write a fanfic but I decided to give up tonight. I think I just like my head canon to stay in my head, haha.

Okay, I need to plan an RB meet-up then! *ponders dates*

Still am too scared to watch AHS...thinking I will wait for a nice sunny Sunday afternoon LOL

Thank you for reading my stories :) I'll try to go back to the "Don't" one...had an idea and it got away so I need to find it again!

I signed up for the mini-nano group on here and they post prompts every day which is really helpful (if I check my Flist...)

[colls]

We should have a fangirl party!! I'd be up for it. :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Coolbeans, I will look at my calendar! Nothing warms up an apartment like a Rock Band party! Maybe Dec/Jan?

I don't dare to watch AHS too! I'm a scaredy cat and I don't like horror shows/movies so... But apparently some of my friends really like it a lot? I'm conflicted lol.

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

I'm a total scaredy cat, but I am hooked. I had to get over the hump of the first episode, but it is more strange/seriously effed up instead of like...literally scary. There are a few moments, a little bit of uncomfortable, but so great for conversations.

I'm going to wait for another sunny day and watch it in the afternoon (the same way I play Dead Space and Silent Hill)

[plumerri.livejournal.com]

Sunny days are not going to be here until at least January for me :x Oh man, I get freaked out EVERY SINGLE TIME I play Silent Hill even though I kinda played it before? I'm such a scaredy cat. Haha.

[plumxxjam.livejournal.com]

Best of luck with your Star Wars program! :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It went really well. Wow, have I not updated since then??? Okay, post in the works!

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

I READ IT NOW! lol. I definitely want to do a meet up. :D

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

hehe, we shall have one, oh yes! Hopefully we can find a spot in your busy work schedule, Miss Employed One :)

[faeriesfolly.livejournal.com]

haha. Well, I can't start until I get my passport in the mail from Mom so I have some wiggle room! ;) I will keep you posted though!

Yay bb!Felicia!! I was confused about the way they dressed her the poor thing. The last time I re-watched season 7 I really grew to like it. It has some great moments.

[orangerful.livejournal.com]

Felicia talked about the beret a LOT at Dragon*Con...can't remember if she picked it out from wardrobe or what...but she regretted it and also said she was convinced that eventually Vi would take it off and a little monster would be living under there LOL!

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

LOL! That is hilarious!
