This is the current away message of one of my high school friends:
All of you who voted for Bush should be ashamed of yourselves, putting the moral fabric of our country before money and the opportunity to kill babies. what has this country come to?!? Here's to another 4 yrs of integrity and a good role model in the White House, i hope you're all happy at what you've done...
This is another's:
Bush/Cheney 2004! 4 MORE YEARS! XD XD XD XD
And this is another's:
W stands for Winner! Most votes EVER for a President!
*sigh* No wonder I felt like such a freak through high school. These are the people I was telling myself I should look up to, the people I loved even though I had to lie and keep secrets and constantly avoid certain topics.
Also, it's cold and has been raining all day. My shoes and socks are soaked through, so I'm sitting here in the coffee shop barefoot, waiting to see if they'll dry out. I feel kinda silly, but... *shrugs* tea and honey and fireplace and wireless internet make everything better.
Wordcount for today (so far): 1,122
In a while, I will go home and cook- I'm thinking schezuan stringbeans over noodles, but we'll see- and do laundry, and maybe start a new book, since I finished one last night. I'll take my laptop with me to the landry room, since it's always warm there, and smells like detergent- clean and chemical and bright- and write some more. Later, I might watch TV.
Days off are nice.

Wow. I'm both overjoyed (I love your stories) and horribly jealous (If I force out a thousand words in a week I feel like going and buying my muse flowers and a box of chocolates -- 'cause it been putting out).

I see you are familiar with a little thing call understatement.

Aw, thank you. Though I'm kind of cheating- what I'm doing should probably be called editing more than actual writing. And generally I'm terribly slow myself. I marvel at the people doing Nano. 50,000 words in a month? Sheh, not unless 30,000 of those words are me repeating "I don't know what to write" over and over again.

My roommate's doing it this year, though, and she tells me that she needs an additional 10,000 words by Monday to keep on track. I laugh. Fondly, of course, but it's still laughing.
Gnothi Sauton, said the Pythian god
I look back on my recent month of unprecedented production:
5730. total. words.
(Me? envious? why in the world would anyone think that?)
Even sadder, over 3000 of those words are sunk into my latest project, which has had the buzzards circling from day one (and weighing in at a mighty 3600 words, it's one of the longest pieces of fictional writing I've ever attempted *laughs at herself, then goes back to shooing the buzzards away*)
Re: Gnothi Sauton, said the Pythian god
Me too. It just takes me so much time and effort to write; I can't comprehend having that kind of output. And when the people who manage such production rates are also really good authors, I could die of envy.

Well, that's all tempting. Long fic from you? I can't wait to see it.

You think we'll get excommunicated for disagreeing? XP

Except our country'd have a lot less old men in funny dresses and more orgies.
no subject
Though...I think both happen there. @_@ I seem to recall being with friends who were getting propositioned to go to an orgy. That was...strange to say the least.

I don't know how much good talking to her would do, though. This is the same girl who, when studying for a history test, guessed that the total number of casulities for WWI was 200. And when we stared at her in horror, she corrected herself by saying, "Oh, I was thinking of WWII!"

Iraq? Afghanistan? The Enviroment? The Patriot Act? The huge national debt? Osama Bin Ladin? The dead American soliders? The dead Iraqi civilians? The fact that the entire rest of the world hates us?
We should totally be ashamed of thinking of those things, because OBVIOUSLY the greatest threat to our nation is the fact that I might be allowed to marry my girlfriend! :O
