SQUEE!
Jeri and Shelle are too cool! Mom signed up to do NaNo! I HAVE A BUTTON! *bouncing*
The universe decided to have a nice laugh at me today. Turns out Jeri's boyfriend's name is Jesse (and her only ex-bf's name was ALSO Jesse!), and the main character of my novel is named Jesse. OY. It's gonna be really embarrassing if my fictional Jesse does something that totally offends RL-Jesse. Oh well. I can't change fictional-Jesse's name now, it's pretty firmly entrenched. He doesn't have a last name, though. Neither does Daniel. Thad's last name is Nascimento (*shoutout to Phillipe in CA*) and his sister's name is Naomi, because Naomi Nascimento is just weird and alliterative enough to be cool.
Why did I start Hellsing now? I can't be thinking about vampires all the time. My book has no supernatural elements; I need to be in a futuristic literary/sci-fi headspace, WHY did I put myself in a position where all I can think about are vampires? Although some aspects of Alucard might be interesting if incorporated into Daniel. Man, Daniel is going to be one fucked-up character. I expect he's going to be way too much fun to write dialogue for.
Am rambling. Don't care. Too excited. ^_^!
Oh yeah, everyone knows that the validity of a fortune cookie fortune can only be judged by adding "in bed" to the end of it, right? Well, we ate Chinese, and Jeri collects fortunes that sound weird with "in bed" on them, so she made everyone else read theirs out loud. And mine... mine was the best. fortune. EVAR.
"Bend the rod while it is still hot." ... in bed.
*dies... again*
