Morning.

*grumbles at super early parcel delivery guy*

Today is the day we celebrate the one who gave the world much awesomeness: my mom.

I will call my mum right away and demand explanations!

Morning.

Let me see what I can do tonight. Mainly, I just need to nose to grindstone and get this done so I can then get it fixed.

Glad it's looking better. Now

And for all the other SSers. Including me.

Oddly enough, I can't get *you* to leave.

Halp! Halp!

I am stuck in a complete works of Balzac - 12196 pages



Send coffee and croissants.

Maybe we should send sleeping pills to break you from the cycle

That is a super lot of pages. *sends a lovely Mocha and, sorry, no croissants, but I have Custard Creams?*

Don't knock it. Balzac made (and spent) a lot of money from his writing, so he must have had something going for him.

Ooo, Custard Creams! I have tortilla chips *offers snacks in cantina direction*

I have discovered that Balzac used to write for up to six hours a day using crow feather pens, once getting through ten in three days. Obviously, they were fairly cheap. (Sorry for unintended pun)

I should say that I'm not going to read all of it, only Pere Goriot and Eugenie Grandet, but that's about 10% of the book so still quite a lot.

If it's pizza, it's Tuesday.

*Hands around slices - please leave the gf for Fen, thank you*

Today is my mom's birthday too! Weird!

And good morning friends!

I'm going to edit my butt off today. That is the plan. Plus I have a new, non-writing project in the works. I don't know if it will work or if anyone will see it, but it should be fun.

ION, My sss is looking better. Now if I could only finish it...

Yes, I read "sss" as "ass" and was like, "OK Gina that's good to know...?"

Clearly, this means something writing-wise. MOM HAI FIVE.

Kricket, you and I share a brain

I have an unknown US sister too! to you both. I've never had a sister before.

Our mothers all share their birthday with Susan Hill, writer of The Woman in Black among other things - born on not just the same day as my Mum but the same year as well, 71 years ago today.

Writing done for today, and the SS is 1007 words longer - actually did more than that as I cut one scene and rearranged a few bits. Fenika should get her whip out more often. It seems to work.

If that is the case than I'm sorry for dragging you down.

I was too polite to say anything.

I wasn't aware you were trying.


Besides, just think how calm and boring it would be without me.

amergina said:

I can be polite.




With a great deal of effort.








Besides, from time to time I like to do unexpected things that throw people off. Which in my case usually entails being nice.

I've done a terrible thing.

I've contributed to the incentive of stores to start selling Easter candy before it's even Valentine's Day.

And I sincerely apologize for that.

But a one-pound chocolate bunny for $2.50 is the best price for chocolate around. =^_^=

This woman keeps escalating threats over text. I wonder if I can get her to shoot herself in her foot any further.

Good morning Cantina.

Shared brains and mom birthdays.

Awesome.

New Internet Term Recommendation:

Threxting (v): the act of shooting oneself in the foot and/or inserting said foot into one's mouth while trying to intimidate others over text message.

Good morning Cantina!

I'm feeling incredibly antsy being cooped up in the house. I want to go out and do something, I just don't know what. It's too snowy and cold outside and walking around the mall presents the risk of me buying things I don't need.

Holy crap! Three hours in the tax office, trying to get our income taxes done and out of our hair. They were packed to the moon with other early filers, and they have THE WORST CHAIRS in Christendom! By the end of it, my back was spasming so badly that I couldn't draw a full breath.

I'm so glad one of the aunts does taxes for me. It's worth paying her.

Raventongue said:

Surely not everything that tastes good to you is sweet. How about pizza? It may not be super-healthy, but that's all fat and salt, not sugars.

Click to expand...

No, not every bad thing I eat is sweet. Pizza, burgers, general tso's chicken, etc.

And I realize I'm making myself sound like a fatty. The aforementioned foods are just indulgences. I actually eat a fairly low fat, low cal, high fiber diet.

I'll will save Zan from the stuffed peppers! I will throw myself all over that grenade!

Me too! Stuffed peppers are one of my favs.

When I get like this i start decluttering stuff, thus giving me the incentive to go to the charity shop to get rid of it and thus justifying any purchase I may make while there. That's my reasoning anyway!

If you rip the pages out of a book is it bibliocide?

(Before you all faint or send round the heavy it's a kids colouring book)
