I...I Want to Try It! But Am I Open-Minded Enough for Zombies?
It's true. Every year I think to myself, "Dang. It is November. I wanted to try doing NaNoWriMo this year but, once again, I forgot. It might be too late. Now I'll never be a famous writer." And then I sit there and watch other people do their NaNoWriMo things and seethe with jealousy but try to pretend I don't care.
Well, it's NOT going down like that THIS year! Sure, I probably will almost definitely not make that 50,000 words or whatever deadline by November 30, but I AM GONNA TRY! And I'm gonna be IN on it! Like, if people are talking about NaNoWriMo, I will FINALLY be able to be all like, "Oh, me too! Yeah, I have...some several words written." And I'll be part of the club! *_* Just like I always dreamed! I just hope I don't get too mocked. I mean, my writing skillz have never been, you know, "da best." It'll probably turn out like...
Jake was so in love with Jessica. "I am so in love with Jessica," said Jake. He sighed. This love was like a million rivers rushing to the sea. "Jessica will never love me, though," he thought filled with sadness, "because I am not a rich guy and I am also not very handsome."
Little did Jake know that Jessica was also not a rich guy and not very handsome."
See, that last line was supposed to be a political joke or something but I don't think it worked out well at all and even I don't get it (okay, I lied, it was never supposed to make any sense). Anyway...I actually have no idea what story to write. I figure I'll just wing it and see what it's like. That's probably a bad idea, isn't it? I'm probably supposed to have an awesome outline and characters and junk. I bet any NaNoWriMo veterans who may come across this post will be all, "lol amateurs lololol" and I'll be all, "*frowns Rhiannon-style* hdu!!!!" That's...short for "how dare u" or "how dare you." I learned that recently. Seriously, I've been on these here nets for about 10 years (yeah, I joined "late," I think) and I still don't know all these little acronyms or whatever. I hate the mean ones like "diaf" and "stfu." Especially "diaf." I can't watch scenes like that even in movies. It just...seems too cruel.
Which, of course, begs the question, "So how can you kill your Sims by fire so easily?" Well, I can't, really. I mean, I COULD, but I can't because I feel too bad. I prefer to be more merciful and drown them or starve them to death if I have to kill them. To be honest, it's gotten a lot more difficult. I used to be able to kill a Sim quite easily back in the day but now I keep thinking about their families, and their screams are just too real.
But...I really wanted to see a zombie. Speaking of zombies, I heard of a book called Generation Dead by Daniel Waters. It's about zombies! Enduring prejudice! It sounded pretty interesting and I want it but it costs, like, $18 and I can't just dish out that kind of cash on a whim without knowing if the book is seriously awesome or not, so I'm researching it. However, those who know me well have informed me that I'm "gonna get it anyway" and "like it because you want to like it" and I'm "gonna fall in love with the zombieboy" or something. I'll tell you right now, I don't really swing the way of zombies. I could never see myself in a serious relationship with one, but I'm trying to keep an open mind about this. I mean, the zombieboy DOES have a pretty neat blog...
