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 anothermiyaw and 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 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, 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.

THIS WEEKEND WAS AMAJING. THANK YOU, PHILIPPINE KOUSHIEN!

I know I should post more about everything that happened (crazy shopping, crazy talking, crazy car rides, crazy bed breaking, crazy cooking, crazy bitchery, crazy--), but I think the combination of my cold and the Pepsi Deluxe can I just drank down is making me giddy and high and not all that capable of being detailed about things.

FREEDOM IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER.

WATCH ME RP ON PLURK AND LJ AND TOTALLY IGNORE THE FACT THAT I STILL HAVE A PAPER TO WRITE AND STUDENT WORK TO CHECK.

\o \o/ o/

Also: BOSS, YOUR BUNNIES ARE THE CUTEST THINGS ON EARTH.

Advertising this again because srsly: WE NEED a Tsuna MORE PLAYERS.

Serious Business

Premise

There are three publishing companies you need to know in Namimori. They market all over the world, you see. They are the Vongola & Associates, a publishing company that markets children's and young adult fiction. Because, you know, that stuff sells. Sometimes, textbooks too, since all the Vongola ever want to do is satisfy the need for books for children and young adults, may it be for leisure or education. The Millefiore&Co., who have recently published several award winning novels and non-fiction stories. They have branched out to try to corner the market on everything but text books. Last but not the least, the Varia, a start up company that specializes in erotic magazines and collections of erotic short stories. But they are also known for producing books and magazines on fashion, trends and pop culture. It's just that once you start publishing ero magazines, everyone thinks that's all you publish. Now, what does this have to do with you? Welcome to the world of Publishing. You either work for one (or all, if you're a freelancer) of the above companies as a writer, an editor, a translator, heck, you might just even be a janitor or a board member. Or, you work for Kokuyo, the local bookstore. It doesn't matter which place you work for-- Publishing is serious business.

Please to be pimping as many times as possible on your own flists and comms? ;_;

I seriously love all of the people who have signed up and participated in our craziness so far. I HAVE PLOT BUNNIES FUCKING IN MY HEAD AGAIN BECAUSE OF THE SHIT THAT GOES ON IN THE LJ THREADS THERE.

Apologies for the sudden deluge of RPlurk-related archive posts on LJ, all~ I finally got around to fixing all the backlogged threads, and it can't fit into a single post. o_o

This week has been pretty light so far~ today is notable because I had graded recitation in Lit 13, and it was actually pretty lively. Several nice conversations cropped up in the smoket too.

There's work to do, but all is well. Going to the office tomorrow to put in that day that I've been promising the people down there for nearly two months.

Seriously. All is well. Seems as though I've recovered from that small rut I had over the weekend.

Er. That's all. QUICK POSTS ARE QUICK.

Spent today at home, recovering (persistent headache + I've been on the brink of coming down with something for a while now) and working on all my backlogged work. BUT AT LEAST I HAVE SOMETHING TO SHOW FOR THAT WON'T BORE YOU GUYS.

ATTENTION PLZ, ALL INTERESTED RPERS.

OKAY. As some of you may already be aware, yukitsu and I started a Plurk Crew for three of our favorite fandoms: Katekyo Hitman Reborn, Ookiku Furikabutte and Gintama. I play the following characters:

Hibari Kyouya (KHR)
Toshiro Hijikata (Gintama)
Haruna Motoki (Oofuri)
Takase Junta (Oofuri)

Yukeh is handling Abe for Oofuri, Katsura for Gintama and Ryohei for KHR. Lynffles is our Tsuna for KHR, and Khursten is my Dino for KHR; she's also she's juggling Gintoki, Okita and Kondou for Hijikata torturing goodness on the Gintama thread.

JOIN IN THE MADNESS. WE DEMAND IT. Besides, I really, really want a Rio. And a Yama-chan. And a Goku. And maybe Kazu.
