Hurrrr pretty much prepared for Singapore now, I think.

Now it's just a matter of boarding that plane.

NaNoWriMo Official Status Report Number Eight




I R WINNER!


And to celebrate, the latest excerpt contains 8018 porn. |D




I actually finished 50,000 words two days back, but I figured I'd defer the post until I actually got the badge so that I only end up gloating to myself once. XD Anyway, enough ego-stroking for the night.

This week has been incredibly kind to me, and it's going to remain rather light on the school front at least until Friday. Won't be going to school in the morning since the profs teaching the kids in both my En11 classes will be taking double periods, and all I have to do in the afternoon is sit through Lit13 presentations and a meeting later with my colleagues in the Lit Committee. There aren't any new readings to go through for my Saturday class either (Sir Campaones wants to take his time with our initial text, since it's important), so all I have to do is a cursory review of what I've already gone over in preparation for class.

Decided to catch up on backlogged shows that I've been following, since I've technically reached my quota for the month. It really feels strange, going back to watching things when all you've been doing is reading text~

And before I go: Re-pimping my Christmas wishlist!
NaNoWriMo Official Status Report Number Seven


...The first of three 8018-centric installments. I'm kind of cheating here (I'm only supposed to post excerpts, but with this and the other ones to follow I'll be doing full but unedited chapters), but with the way the scenes are written, it's hard to follow what's happening without reading, um, everything.

[/TL;DR]





47891 / 125000 words. 38% done!

Adjusted my word count to fit the actual size of the project at hand! Writing will slow down immensely after November, though, since I kinda have to get back to living the rest of my life in tandem with the ficcing. :'D

OKAY SO, SOME QUICK POINTS FOR THE DAY:


  • Winged both my En11 classes. orz Still out of it from yesterday and Wednesday.
  • Met with [livejournal.com profile] gzep, [livejournal.com profile] psychoshoujo, [livejournal.com profile] laurgasm and Ren. [livejournal.com profile] anothermiyaw, you were missed. >: Y DID U FORGET ABOUT US.
  • Dragged the whole crowd (except for Ren, since he had stuff to do) over to ADMU. Showed my little robots off, went to the smoket, chilled out, resigned myself to having no plan for my Fiction class--
  • --and apparently ended up lecturing for said lit class really well. o_o Um. Wao, self. Good job.


Texts and Textuality class tomorrow -- I just picked up the reader for the whole semester. It's... three inches thick. And staring at me in the face right now. *crai*

On KHR! 219: 1827 MUSE IS GNAWING AT MY ARM AND Y SO DORKY SHOUSHOU AND DLKHGL;HSD;HGAHDS VARIA.




And now, the real reason for this post:

The Christmas Meme. )

I-I know I must've promised some people here and there on their own wish lists, so poke me if I have? In case I've forgotten. o_o

AND.

ONCE AGAIN.

Since I can't buy you nothing, request a fic!



Entry is f-locked, but, um. Yeah. :|

--People with multiple LJ accounts are not allowed to request twice/thrice/infinite times. [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu, [livejournal.com profile] khursten, [livejournal.com profile] anothermiyaw, I'm watching you guys. B|
NaNoWriMo Official Status Report Number Six


IT'S SPANNER TIME.





44395 / 125000 words. 36% done!

--iyeah, I finally decided to adjust the word count meter for my personal goal, since I can't adjust the one over at the official site. That's still a VERY TENTATIVE number, but given the fact that ROI is meant to have three parts to it and I'm nearly at 50,000 words without even vaguely seeing the end of the first part isn't exactly encouraging. ;w; Anyway, life updates.


MONDAY:

Went out to Rockwell and met up with [livejournal.com profile] anothermiyaw and [livejournal.com profile] dreamlessness -- we were supposedly there to go into ADMU Professional Schools, since it's such a shiny building and we've always been curious about how it looks from the inside for a book launch, but we didn't actually stay. XD; Wandered around Rockwell, where B and I were very concerned about Mia and how she was bound to sugarcoma from all the cake that B and I fed her in Starbucks. Later saw [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu and talked ROD things, among others. :3

Was feeling ill for most of the afternoon due to the heat, my period and the fact that I was pretty much on my feet since 6 AM. Got home raring to work anyway, in which I discovered that I seriously don't know how to take it easy anymore. Thank god for friends who stick by and gently remind me to breathe just before I forget.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] anothermiyaw re-filled the time on my LJ icons. ILU LONG TIME, MIA. And I am so broke, it kinda ain't funny.


TUESDAY:

Holed myself up in my room to check all the papers from my kids! I've... got my work cut out for me. Will have to adjust my game plan according to what these students need, based on the fact that they're coming in from Basic English. I'm considering doing more consultations and being a little more elaborate with my feedback.

I think I am finally getting a hang of this teacher thing. The lectures I've been doing so far have been pretty smooth, and I find it easier to manage the classroom each time I step in. Am also able to juggle more stuff and organize my things and my thoughts better. o_o Here's hoping that this will actually bear positive results.

Was supposed to have Spec Fic class, but it ended up canceled. Typed out my previous entry while I was waiting in the car. Experienced a case of EXTREME EXHAUSTION and EXTREME LAZINESS later in the evening, which prompted me to dole out a free cut. I figure I can afford it, if only to take a breather before the real shit hits the fan.


TODAY:

--was supposed to be NaNoWriMo Day, but I ended up wasting half of it due to mod stuff for Serious Business and the feedback that was coming in regarding several things that I've applied to myself early on this week. I'm writing this partially because I need to seriously take a break from wrestling with this one scene for over six hours. D18, Y U DO DIS TO ME.

Will spend tomorrow NaNo-ing also. I really want to see if I can finish 50,000 words before Sunday. Probably not, but it's worth a shot, right?




New intarwebz term to throw around: MICRO PORNING. Like micro-blogging (see Twitter and Plurk) and IM logging for an RP, but not. ...And my friends insist that it is a very real talent of mine. orz

Christmas post to follow. It's... actually long overdue too.

NaNoWriMo Official Status Report Number Five


I bring you another mindless butchering of a female character in Reborn. ._. Somebody tell me if I'm doing something wrong, okay? This fic is making me write people I've never written before.





40063 / 50000 words. 80% done!

THE WORD COUNT METER IS REALLY A LIE NOW alkhf;lsadhhg;lhad;lhg I should at least figure out how long this fic is actually going to be sometime soon, huh. Just so that I can adjust the damned thing. orz

Okay, so: I promised a more coherent post, but in actuality, I really don't have much to say. o_o My weekend has treated me really well, though, as the word count should indicate. I'm totally avoiding the teacherly work that I ought to be doing, but it's not like I've got nothing for my kids. I'll just review possible game plans later, after Sunday Mass.

Finally had the first session of my second graduate studies class, and now I can say for certain that I'm really going to enjoy this semester. Speculative Fiction is very relevant to my casual interests, and Texts & Textuality class looks like it's going to completely blow me out of the water in all the right ways. I've even got a final paper planned for the class already - a treatise on the texuality of video games, with role-playing games being my primary example. I'll have to talk to my professor about it and hope that it sells.

Speaking of papers: for those of you guys on my academic filter, expect my Reborn paper to come up here really soon.

Haven't really been catching up on the fandom front of anything lately because NaNoWriMo pretty much eats up my life these days, but I do have one thing to say: With Chapter 218, we might have been totally Shounen Jump'd. What is with these authors and making us WTF so hard. XD

Productive NaNo day at Rockwell with [livejournal.com profile] yukitsu, [livejournal.com profile] kye_kestrel, [livejournal.com profile] anothermiyaw get!

Lovely dinner with Yukeh, Mia, [livejournal.com profile] 77ws and [livejournal.com profile] ficcentricity, get!

LONG WEEKEND GET! ♥♥♥

...And a more coherent post will follow tomorrow or sometime soonish, I swear.

18456 / 50000 words. 37% done!

Might not make the desired word count today since I came home brain-fried, and I'm STILL kinda out of it. I am also fighting off the urge to fix images again, but this has been struck out, so let's pretend that I'm not slacking off. I'm trying to stick with the habit of writing 1,700 or more each day this month. orz Still, knowing how I can't sleep unless I accomplish what I want to, I'll probably end up hitting it later on tonight or something. That, or I fall asleep on my keyboard. Whatever comes first.

No excerpt with the word count this time... I'm too lazy to post an excerpt this time. 'Sides, I must be flooding your flists with too much TL;DR.




Registration for us graduate people down at ADMU really IS faster and more efficient. o_o Must be because they're really careful with handling professionals, and because there are less people to shuttle around. Am still finding it some kind of cool how I don't have to sit down and enlist myself -- they just whisk my form off and do it for me. Lulz.

Mandatory Next Semester Talk and Brother Shit on the Side. )

Talked with lots of people while I was popping in and out of the English department today. Was supposed to meet up with [livejournal.com profile] anothermiyaw after registration shenanigans, but Mom came over to school because she forgot to sign her check (uhihihi, Senior Moment! ♥), and then we had to swing over and pick my little brother up. orz Next time, bb?

I got my chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream though. Tastes just the way I thought it would. I have to admit that it's hella expensive and I actually prefer the one that Magnolia came up with, but this is good enough for constant comfort food. X3

Randomly: November really DOES make one post on one's LJ more. Must be the NaNo Effect.

NaNoWriMo Official Status Report Number Three


Lifted the following points of information from the report:


  • Will attempt to do status checks and NaNo-related rambling in bullet points from here on. o/
  • STILL WRITING LIKE CRAZY. REGISTRATION TOMORROW. FUCK. SCHOOL STARTING ON MONDAY. SO FUCKING SCREWED sadlkhg;lshad;lgh;lhasdhgad
  • I now firmly believe that my creative juices can be fueled by a healthy combination of good online company, RP shenanigans, spite over pretentious fanfic writers and generous servings of ice cream. If in case ice cream is not available, cigarettes are a good substitute.
  • I'm past the 15,000 mark and they're STILL not in Italy. orz
  • Am 40% sure that this is going to exceed 50,000 words, but it may still be too early to tell given the fact that after Chapter 5 or so, I'll sorta be winging it for the first part. ...I kind of want to shoot myself now. u_u


I'm trying to seriously make it a report, y'know, and not just an excerpt-dumping thing. orz





15718 / 50000 words. 31% done!

HEY GUYS I'M STILL WONDERING ABOUT THAT FILTER I'M MAKING FOR MY ACADEMIC PAPERS. WHO WANTS IN AND HASN'T COMMENTED ON MY PREVIOUS POST YET?


...S-sorry, been capslock spazzing the whole day. I blame the food. And maybe my hormones. @_@;

Might stop writing soon and turn in early for the night, since it's registration shenanigans tomorrow. Will anyone be in the Katipunan area? Text me~ I'll be looking for company!

Lastly: Congratulations, Mr. Barrack Obama, for making the presidency. You've got a lot of hopes and dreams riding on you, man, and while I doubt that whatever policies you do will be able to go through the AT FIELD OF SHIT AND CORRUPTION that we seem to have around my country, I'm sure that if you're awesome enough, you'll do good for America. That, in itself, is fine by me.
