NaNo Word Count! Not really, because I'm cool like that.

Oh my GOD, who doesn't love daylight savings time when it's a gentle and loving caress like yesterday? Screw the break-up jump forward Spring-forward nonsense. Oh, Fall-back In The Fall, I love you best. My chitlins have no school today - parent teacher conferences are scheduled instead. So they get a day off and I have to go to school? What kind of Bizarro world is this? I plan on sitting in the back and doodling centaur pictures of my boyfriend on my notebook.

Speaking of centaurs, did y'all hear that A-Rod (Rodriguez of the Yankees and shtupping Madonna fame) has not one but TWO CENTAUR SELF PORTRAITS hanging in his bedroom? That's the most awesome thing ever. Because what a tool! OMG, I bet he writes Mary Sue fanfic about himself and Derek Jeter ['s Taco hole!] where they congratulate each other in the shower, lots of "Good game, good game!" back slapping then sexy funtimes where Jeter tells A-Rod lovingly in A-Rod's soapy ear how manly and centaur-like he is, at which point A-Rod will invite Jeter back to his place to show him JUST HOW ACCURATE THAT IS. Lol. Someone photoshop a picture of Jeter as a sexy Man-Fairy with a dong so huge you wonder how he can even fly. To which I reply: BY MAGIC. And a pinch of love.

Hey-O, it's Monday and I'm in a mood, whee!

But seriously folks, Vitamin D deficiency is no laughing matter. I dunno, Rickets just makes me laugh, I'm a jerk like that. Weren't we talking about NaNo? YES WE WERE. I know some of you are diving in to the full-deal, some of you are doing your own thing, and some of you are just writing because you write every day like a robot that could rival the terminator in dedication. (And you need to stop that, you're making the rest of us look bad.) My new buddy Chuck Wendig has written what I think is an excellent post about pacing in writing - at one point he compares it to music, and that's it! That's it precisely. It made me think of the Character Mixes I made back when I was writing fanfic, etc. and that bled into my original fic writing, too.

And for me, the sad thing is that the music I need to listen to to continue work on my narrative fiction is all church music. Noooooooo! The hardest part is all of the hand motions to tell the song's story while typing. I get a lot of 'oihtO'[N TCH[ is what I'm saying. So go forth! Listen to something evocative of the spirit of your tale! If that's the crazy music from Benny Hill when they run around chasing big-boobed women, SO BE IT. I'm just saying that I'm a little classier than thou with my Soupy Sales trombone/fart song, I'm just saying.

I have to get in a minimum of 2500 words today. CAN WE DO IT? Sí, puedes! Happy Monday! [Halloween post with pictures to come later - that's labor intensive and I have a word count to get to first.]

I did not need to know about A-Rod's centaur portraits. He's ruined centaurs for me forever! I thought I couldn't dislike him any more than I do, and then you add more ick to the ickiness. A-Rod + Jeter 4-evah!

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I'm going to challenge that, and say that you DID need to know that. His majestic flanks, glistening with sweat from a gallop around the bases.... LOL.

I friggin' HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE A-Rod, too.

[(Anonymous)]

I will now commission portraits of myself as a Manther -- half-man, half-panther.

And thanks for the linky.

You know there's cat hoarders around here that can whip that up for you, no problem.

I like to think of myself as a Pommadoodledor: part Pommeranian, part Poodle, part Labrador, but with my spirit. Just a spazzy, jumpy, biting, eating and shitting machine. HOW ABOUT IT, SCIENCE?

[lostakasha.livejournal.com]

The sheer tragedy of reading the A-Rod Centaur (mi shlong es muy guapo, eh?)story first thing this morning pre-java has scarred me, but the healing power of your humour makes it all better. :)

Hey-O! You need this: http://www.hiyoooo.com/

[lostakasha.livejournal.com]

btw, click Ed's nose. That'll add meaning to the page.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaa, awesome link, thank you.

If you don't know by now that I'm both good and bad for you, then I don't know what to tell you. LOL. WHEEEE HEEEE HEEEEE pbbblt!

[meridius.livejournal.com]

wow Arod/Jeter slash. I feel icky. One of them being a centaur is double icky

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I think you're just struggling with how beautiful and ROMANTIQUE that whole idea is. Especially if you have a Brett Favre woodland nymph prancing about them, singing power ballads.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

[meridius.livejournal.com]

Oh gods, not the power ballads!!!! Though in this scenario, I would have said some Andrew Lloyd Webber :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

These are dude's dudes. They're going to be rocking the Night Ranger when they make sweet, sweet love. Or some Keith Sweat. They're kick ass centaurs, not some gay centaur. Brett Favre is still going to be passing laterals (with fairy dust, true) while he prances.

[meridius.livejournal.com]

...well, his team colours ARE purple now...Hmmmm.....Everyone should have fairy throwing dust in arcs over them as they make that sweet love...providing that they aren't creeped out by a third party. But Im sure ARod and Jeter would let Favre play with them...maybe that's how the fairy dust *cough* comes *cough* out

[yorick28.livejournal.com]

I don't know whether to thank you for the A-Rod laugh or curse you for the very icky images now in my brain... ;)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Oh, you want to thank me. You want to thank me so hard.

[arcana-j.livejournal.com]

So, wait, does that make A-Rod a furry?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I THINK IT DOES.

I'm just waiting for the "His wife? A horse" style tale *cough* to come out next. LOL.

[arcana-j.livejournal.com]

Why wait! I'm sure we can find plenty such fodder, so long as our hearts are true and our internets are connected!

"Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. ... A-Rod will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster..."

[stephanierb.livejournal.com]

I had to dig back through my entries to find this, but after your impromptu JeRod (or would it be Roter?) fic, I had to link:

http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2007/02/damn_yankees.html

No pron, but this has some traction.

And as grossed out as I am by A-Rods Centaur posters, it gives me something to mock him about, now that he's actually hitting in October.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

I can ALWAYS find something to bitch/mock about A-Rod. he's one of the reasons I gave up on baseball, honestly. (I'm a Texas Ranger quasi-fan. Mostly because of him. I long for the Nolan Ryan days of yore.)

[minstrel666.livejournal.com]

I want to see those posters. I need to dress up as a slutty groupie, chat A-Rod up in a club, go this his place, take some pictures, conk him over his head and make tracks.

Because, as the Internet has posited a long, long time ago: picz or it didn happen.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

LOL - I bet there are people that would pay you to do that!

You getting some good word counts in? I'm at 1800 for the day, with a goal of hitting 2500. I think I can, I think I can...

[minstrel666.livejournal.com]

I'm at 2810 - I put in some extra work on the first day, but had to slow down today as I was prepping for the week to come (groceries, cooking for the week, research and homework).

So far it's cool and I just learnt that there will be a Nano meetup at a place nearby this Sunday, which is pretty cool.

[anelith.livejournal.com]

I give you my laughing pooka icon in honor of the centaurs. Ha!

I'm looking forward to telling Ron about A-Rod after the kids have gone to bed. He always enjoys making fun of the Yankees.

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahaha, good for Ron! (And I just saw that link you posted - OH MY GOD, HILARIOUSLY AWESOME!!)

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I am a Yankee fan because I have no choice, but centaurs? Really Arod? Is your favorite bat part of the picture?

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

HEEEE.

[demonqueen666.livejournal.com]

I'm not doing NaNoWriMo (never have, because christ dear god why?) but thank you so much for that article link about pacing. I'd be sure to hang onto that advice for my various ficcary exploits. Also, the wording of the article itself just made me laugh. Which always helps :D

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

Chuck is pretty hilarious. :)

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

yes, this is the preferred time change. :)

[stoney321.livejournal.com]

BLISS. Bliss, I tell ya!
