Shouldn't you be writing? (Or sleeping?)
No! Yes! ... Maybe!
I am only a little behind, geez, leave me alone.
Remember how I was all emo 'cause I suck and being social is hard and nothing interesting was happening and wah wah angst (the "Less Awesome" section)? It was pretty much all negated, which means I either jumped the gun due to fail!brain or that my whining broke the universe (I prefer the latter explanation), because over the weekend I was both invited to a Halloween party (WHAT) and the VT region posted a date, time, and location for a kick-off party / write-in aaaand it was a day I had off work! WHOO!
Also I Halloweenified the apartment, which was fun. I carved a pumpkin! I also strung some orange lights over the doorway to the kitchen and hung some fake cobwebs all over the fake tree. I was gonna put 'em in the stairway, but then you'd only see them when you went in or out and bah! BAH, I say! And the pumpkin stayed inside because one, none of us were going to be home until late, anyway, and two, I did not want it to get smashed by jerks.
The party was really fun! We played Scrabble (and I somehow won, which, uh, first time for everything, I guess) and carved pumpkins and ate ALL THE JUNKFOOD and then I had an epic sugar crash on Tuesday, the likes of which I have not seen in a decade or so. Oof. Also there were fluffy cats! And they liked being pet! So every time one came within proximity to the group of us (it was a small party, so I did not get oversocialised! And most of us did not know each other, so there was not the group of people and then one or two straggles who sat around feeling awkward!) a few of us dropped everything to give them belly rubs or ear scritches.
The NaNo thing was less awesome, but still fun. It was a weirdly huge group (never seen it that big, wow), which was fine, but our region leader had to bring his kids and they ran around screaming a lot, despite his best efforts. And the girls next to me were talking a lot and I kept finding myself eavesdropping on their conversation instead of working on my story. But whatever, they didn't seem to mind my occasional interjections. And I'm up to 2.5k (ish. I'm writing in two different word docs and I don't feel like doing any math beyond adding the first two digits of both numbers), which could be better but whatever, I spent yesterday in a haze and then I had stuff to do today and I AM REALLY GOOD AT MAKING EXCUSES.
In other news, I have really, really got to remove this song from my Video Game Remixes playlist, because every time it comes on, I end up going back and listening to it, like, a million times, because it is THE CATCHIEST EVER oh my god.
