NaNoWriMo

Sooo I'm finally starting. I said I would start yesterday but Iram never got back to me about my first line.

However, she has now chosen. So I must run with this line and write 50,000 words by the end of November.

Will I do it? There's no way of knowing. All I know is that I've got to beat Ashley f'realz this time. Last year, I had no internet. So I couldn't officially win. But I have internet this time around and I'm ready to kick some Sinha-Wildering butt.

Ready, Set, Go.

Peace/Pieces

OKAY. In light of my new blog title, and also the new Taylor Swift album, and also the fact that I've been wondering this since I saw my first TV wedding...

Is it PEACE or PIECE?

When the dude is like, about to pronounce two people as man and wife, or man and man, or woman and woman, etc, he always says: Speak now or forever hold your _____.

Now, most people think it's peace because they're idiots who think of dirty things when you say "hold your piece."

It's also because hold your peace has been a way of saying "shut up" since them Biblical times.

But I wonder if it's actually piece. Because what if I have a piece to say? Then I don't say it at the wedding. I'm holding my piece then, and I will be forced to forever hold my piece and not say a bad thing about the sweet sweet union.

And hold your peace just doesn't make any sense. Because if I was at peace with the thing, why would I even have any thing to say? And if I didn't speak, how could I forever hold my peace? I would just be waiting for the day when they broke up, constantly feeling at ease, knowing this wasn't the right fit.

So what do you think? Is it peace or piece? Have you never even considered this? Am I the crazy one for being the only one that even thought it could be anything different? Explain your point in the comments.

TWINSIES?

A lot of people say I look like Drew Barrymore. My roommate refuses to see it. So I took a couple pictures of myself in a Drew Barrymore pose to see if we were twins. You be the judge:






So what do you think? Am I her twin? Her sister? Her hotter cousin?

NEW LAYOUT/NaNoWriMo time

Soo I decided now that PANSED is over, I need a new title. But with that new title, I also decided on a new Banner.
And my new banner didn't fit in my layout. So I also have a new layout.

The man, Benedict Cumberbatch, is the new Sherlock - BBC style, of course. I've been in love with the series for several weeks, since hubby and I watched the premiere. Obviously there's stuff about LOST and Harry Potter in the banner, too. In case you guys didn't know I was obsessed.



Hopefully I'll be updating this more regularly, probably a lot in November to inform you of my progress on both NaNoWriMo and Movember. Both of which complement each other. Because of Movember, I will spend less time shaving my legs in the shower, and more time writing. And the more time I spend writing, the less I will want to shave my legs. So there are four days until November. And my friend Hailey will be HERE, visiting for the first four days of November. So I figure, to even the odds, I will start NaNoWriMo today. And then cease for the duration of Hailey's visit, to begin again upon her departure. I will have lost no time and I see it as a fair trade-off.

Especially since Ashley and I are in a competition this year (Again) to see who can finish the fastest. Only she is now armed with Lo. So they have double a chance of beating me. But my main problem last year is the same as my main problem this year. What the heck do I write about?

So I have given my roommate/husband the

(pause as I realize the tomato on my sandwich has gone off, and spit out food. Awesome)

My roommate has the privilege of giving me my first line. Basically, it's like a creative writing assignment. Whatever position she puts me in, I must abide by. If she puts me on a submarine, I either have to get off the submarine, or stay on for the entire book. No dream sequences, no wishes on stars, etc.

I tried to get Lo and Ashley to do this with me, but they're too chicken.

So when my hubby texts me back with my first line, I will tell you what it is, and I will begin.
