I think I'm failing Nanowrimo

Loads happened at school, and I am so glad it's almost over :P If it weren't for the oppressive heat that grows with each year, I'd REALLY be cheering on the summer holidays. But as it is, I'm just worried I'll be away from the house during bushfire season and the insurance won't cover my laptop and wacom tablet. As soon as I can, I'm getting a

Summer holidays? What part of the world are you in? We're entering winter here in the U.S. (southwest Michigan to be exact) and we've already had our first snow. Haha your worries over losing stuff in brush fire season remind me of how I worry a tornado will hit our apartment during the summer and take my massive CD collection with it. : /

And yet another NaNo'er. There are seriously about fifteen people among my friends who are doing it. It does sound like a lot of fun though. Who are your favorite authors?

Australia! :O Woah, can you get it all insured? After Black Saturday everyone's become super aware of fires and doing burn-offs and clearing all the fuel around their houses, although in reality if something like that came around again there'd be nothing they could do to stop it. :P

Scott Westerfeld, Jennifer Fallon, Isbobelle Carmody, and Philip Reeve. :D There are more books I like but I haven't read enough of the author's stuff to put them on my favourites list, like Neil Gaiman. I love Good Omens, that's a brilliant book.

Ya know, I THINK my CD's would be covered by our property insurance if they did get sucked up in a tornado, but I'd still never be able to replace half of them. Haha a friend recommended I get a big fireproof box to keep them in. I should build a bunker like the ones meant to be safe from nuclear warfare and fallout just for my CD's

You could probably back them up on a computer, but then having the cds is so much better sometimes :) Maybe you should do something, if tornadoes are a serious risk

Tornadoes aren't that big of a threat -- we do get them in our region, but it's extremely rare one actually comes through our town (knock on wood).

Wow, and Black Saturday was just this past February. There are wildfires in the southwest U.S., but not that bad. And it would have gotten your home if not for the twelve firetrucks? Crazy. The biggest disaster we've had in the U.S. in recent years is Katrina.

It gets hot here, too, but not melt-your-tires hot. Trust me though, the cold gets bad, too. There are times we have to stay inside because you'll get frostbite just for being out in the cold wind for three minutes. Still, I'm content. =)
