Insert witty remark here

   I'm bored and my new partner is a whiny little bitch.  I really hate people who try to dish it, but can't take it without moping all over the place.

School is starting soon, I'll be working on getting my Intermediate license, which means more poking people with needles, which is cool I guess.  Life is generally good, despite the horrible stomach flu I had, which Stephen then caught because he is dumb a sweetheart.  I think my DnD character is going to have a psychological break after seeing the guy she doesn't quite realize she was in love with get stabbed through the chest by crab people (more on DnD Ambellina later), which will be fun as hell to play out.  I've also realized that working nights is fucking great for me because my brain tends to do its stormy thing best at night and I get a lot of non-sick-people related work done.

Anyway, I've got about a million ideas running through my head, some related to that thing I'm supposed to be working on, some not, some just damn weird.  I am actually about halfway through the actual writing part of the next chapter - the two page treatment I wrote up an embarrassingly long time ago managed to turn itself into 3 chapters (the last two and the on I'm working on now), which is kind of cool, and I'm pretty sure people are reading it, which is cooler.  I really need to fix the old chapters, but Stephen keeps pointing out that this would interrupt the flow and totally distract me from the new parts I'm supposed to be writing.  He's right of course, but it still irks me.  Chapter 2-5 need a ton of work - they feel disjointed and unfinished to me now.  The flashback is intentionally skipping forward by a few months at a time (holy shit I just gave you a glimpse of a timeline), but those chapters still feel...icky.

Of course I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that I started them fucking over three years ago...

I also have been doing some character sketches.  There are a couple people I have been drawing more or less since middle school, slowly developing personalities and shit along the way that I have never quite figured out what to do with.  They are now so fleshed out that they have pretty much started creating their own story, as evidenced by some of the mini comics that have been appearing in my note book for years.  Thinking of old TV has kind of given me some ideas, however, as have the weird amount of references and discussions about KH that have been occurring lately.

Basically, the story is writing itself, I have plenty of time to draw comics with class coming up (you'd be amazed to find that I have a 3.8 GPA despite my notebooks having more drawings than actual notes.  I am apparently a sponge.)  It's kind of a bullshit side project at this point, but I want to see where it goes.  I tend to work better on projects when I am working on more than one, so there may be a few comics appearing soon.

I guess what I'm getting to is, would you read something tentatively called Quantum Faceplant?

Seriously.  I want input from all two of you.

(This journal to be updated later with other working titles.  Some of them are quite stupid.  It is 5 in the morning.)
