Well, I got up to the sleeves on my Snow White and I tried it on...and wouldn't you know it, I've managed to increase 2 inches in circumference pretty much EVERYWHERE on my entire body. Absolutely ridiculous! I weighed more than this in high school and I was not this big. And of course I'm only going to gain more weight before I lose anything, because I know how I roll. There's a back-fat joke in there somewhere but I am too angry/depressed to tease it out.
Also, I totally quit NaNo (again), this time after 10,000 words. I started to get stressed out about making my word counts and I realized it just wasn't worth it. I also realized that I don't really care for writing on the computer because I live in the Stone Age. (On a totally unrelated note--I just didn't want to make a new paragraph after three sentences) I haven't been sleeping. Now I have to leave the TV on or I don't fall asleep, so I don't put my earplugs in, and then when my dad leaves for work in the morning I wake up and then I have to go back to sleep, but of course if you sleep for an hour it doesn't really count, so I've been averaging 5 hours of sleep every night. Lovely.
In addition to my problems, K got let go from BOTH her jobs. THE DAY AFTER HER BIRTHDAY. I hate November. Thank goodness it's almost over.

The Point is that I Want Azn Babies.
It is like the world is conspiring against me to not get any knitting or NaNo-ing done at ALL.
I blame YOU, Juri Ueno. You will not be forgiven until one of us has the other's babies. Or you can have K's babies or she can have your babies. We've got lots of wombs to work with here.
Seriously, why didn't anyone tell me about Last Friends? It has everything I love and almost none of the things I dislike! Japanese people, motocross racing (I am not being sarcastic. I have extreme enthusiasm for the fictional portrayal of motocross racing. I don't like real motocross racing because I don't like watching races--I get too keyed up), sissy main heroines getting beaten, lots of unnecessary drama, most of the cast of Nodame Cantabile, and, most importantly, an adorable, aZn, gendrally*-confused girl (we all know that's my favorite kind)! And since K and I promised to not watch it on our own, I have to wait until tomorrow to watch more of it...and until I watch it I have to spend every waking moment thinking about it. I'm pretty sure I wrote the exact same story my freshman year of college, only everyone was American and therefore much less adorable.
Unfortunately, that means I will be blogging more because I can vent my enthusiasm to the internet instead of annoying everyone I know with my inane chatter. Therefore, I will not be writing my novel nor will I be knitting. This show could not have happened to me at a worse time. Thank goodness I have less to do at work. My brain could have exploded.
I wrote some 3,000-odd words before I realized I wanted to get rid of one of my major characters. So I had to start again. I'm way behind, but I think I'm further ahead than I was last year (considering I quit after two days because of the intense wrist pain). But it seems as though I am unconsciously doing NaBloPoMo. Too bad when I blog frequently, it's mostly me fangirling over something lame.
I've learned that I enjoy reading my own blog. Is this the same as laughing at your own jokes? Do authors read their own books? Where the hell is my camera?
*If "center" becomes "centrally," then "gender" necessarily becomes "gendrally."

Blendtastic.
"Fauxmosexuality" has got to be one of the most hilarious blends I have ever heard. And I thought I was pretty funny when I came up with "flesbian" (same concept--I'm sure I'm not the only one who came up with it).
Even funnier than "po-mo sexuality," which is also delightful.
In other news, I am apparently not keeping up with my queer celebrities. This is what happens when I actually have STUFF to do at work.
I joined the Sexy Knitters' Club on Ravelry because I have been meaning to make Snow White. I bought the yarn back in May (Valley Yarns Sugarloaf), but I've been putting it off because of the other sweaters I started. I thought I'd be able to start Snow White today, but I think I might need the size 6 circular I'm still using for Riding to Avalon (I'm on the first sleeve and I've sworn to actually finish this instead of letting it sit around for two years like my Rogue...I guess I have a thing for hoodies. I like to keep my head warm. Or my back warm).
I'm also doing NaNoWriMo (not NaNoPoBlo or whatever the blogging counterpart is--I did that last year and I ended up writing about candy or Canada or some third thing that has those same letters), so I don't know how much blogging I'll get done. I've already done two posts in the last month, which is better than I usually am about this! Stay tuned, all my loyal fans!
