Thanksgiving!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone! :D When I woke up at eight this morn... I was stupidly thinking I'd get a lot of writing done... A lot of writing is 200 words? I don't think so! =P
I spent to much time answering emails and talking to friends, hehe. ^.^ I managed to eat a little tiny bit of everything at dinner today, so I did eat something *bows* I'm so proud of myself. =P Heh... we had two guests over (though no relatives) and they came at 3:30 though dinner happened to be at 6. We played Catch Phrase for that long. It was fun.... I never won, though, which is strange... I usually win. =P
Then we had dinner... and pie! *whispers* I made the apple pie. And then we played more Catch Phrase... and talked... our guests stayed until 11, hehe. Rachel, Hannah, and I also watched Finding Nemo during a couple of rounds of Catch Phrase because we were bored with it. I also worked on our Christmas card, yes, I know, early, but it's a big project... I won't send it out until later, anyways. ^.^
Now I'm going to get ready for bed, disconnect from the internet and take my laptop to my room and write, write, write! Or that's my plan, I might end up falling asleep.... Plus I have school tomorrow >=P Bleah. Oh well.

I Didn't Post Yesterday...
But I did get my word count in! :D
At 11:59. :P Then I stayed up a little... and did nothing.
I haven't started today's... been emailing JF and quoting LOTR... again. ^^ and naming my horses.
Heh, I have eightBreyer horses now: an Icelandic pony, an Arabian, a hanoverian pony, a peruvian paso, a Dutch warmblood, a saddlebred, a quarter horse, and a warmblood. :D
We've named the Icelandic, Mare (Mar- AY), the Hanoverian, Leela (Lee-la), the dutch warmblood, Safinx (Sa-finx), and the Arabian, Adoni (A-DOH-ni). The others have yet to be named cause I can't get pictures cause someone *cough*Kaylee*cough* lost the camera... so they'll have to wait for names.
I get the horses by memorizing Bible verses. We have this system,
from October through December we memorize verses and for every ten words (one word is three letters or more)
that's a point. So depending on how expensive the horse is we have to earn points for it. There are some horses that cost twenty five points... So that's 250 words.... the smallest ponies are about $3 each so those cost five points each... It's cool and fun. :D
Now I have to do a Spanish test and economics and Personal Fitness and Web Design... and then I'll work on NaNo! Though I'll probably be working on it inbetween subjects, too.

I talked to Linny and MM and Arwen this morning before school. :D
Then I talked to Telpe a wee bit, lol, and then I did some school... Spanish... Economics.. o.O I didn't practice viola yes! :O Oops *whistles* oh well. I managed to get my NaNo word count done early, too! Thanks to many WWs with Linny and MM.
I also got to order a computer game today... Yay amazon! ten dollars less than in the store, including shipping. Heh, and I changed the siggie rules on DioM cause they were bugging me to DEATH! Enormous siggies with no meaning. So they should all be gone by Sunday *is happy*.
Tomorrow I won't have much time to write... I have to tutor at an elementary school in the morning and then go to a school with my dad. I don't have to go, but I want to. And so we have four talks to go to tomorrow. I might get to write some during that, I'll be bringing my notebook.
Oh, and I got a bracelet in the mail today! From AG! :D It's very pretty ^^ clear, white, and red beads. With silver letter thingies that say 'Leggy' ^^ *hugs AG* ish muy pretty ^^ I've been wearing it all day! :D
Now I gotta go to bed... We get hot chocolate tomorrow! yay! *falls off chair*

I Did It Again! :D
Just a few minutes till bed time and I still have a couple hundred words to write! Thanks to certain people TALKING TO ME WITHOUT STOPPING! *cough*Arwen*cough* Atleast AG stopped when I asked her to. :P Ok... ok... Arwen does too... some of the time.
I had church and orchestra rehearsal today so that kind of cut into my writing time as well. Three straight hours of christmas music. o.o I'm learning to loath it. xD

Why Do I Always Seem to Do This?
Heh, I did it again! Left the last couple hundred words until twelve minutes before my bed time! :D
I guess I like working under pressure... I had plenty of time to get it done, though. I just did chores this morning.. and I was planning on having a viola lesson, but my teacher canceled at the last minute because of a concert she had to go to. So I stayed home and IMed MM and Arwen and watched 'The Gospel According to Scroog', a play JF had been in. hehe, she gave it to me to watch. I liked it... JF sings really well.... I wish I could sing. :P
Oh well, ten minutes till bedtime and a couple hundred words left to write. *scampers off*
Back! Eight minutes to go! But I'm done! 30,064 words! *falls off chair fast asleep*

28,258... 100 Words to Go!
Here it is... fifteen minutes to elven, strict instructions to be in bed... I have one hundred words to write. Five people Iming me. Is this insane or what? :P
I had to go to a bunch of school talks with my dad today... Well, it was my choice to go. :D Anyways, I didn't get much done there cause I had to be introduced a hundred thousand times, but that's ok... though my battery died then. Fortunately I had brought my notebook! So on the way to the next school, I managed to write 800 more words! So now I need to hurry and finish (12min) then go to bed... I want to make cookies tomorrow. :P
I managed to go without eating until dinner today, and I didn't even get hungry until then! o.o Some people are worried about me becoming anorexic... but I don't think I am. I look healthy and feel healthy, just haven't been eating the past couple of days. :D
*scurries back off to writing*
EDIT: Done! With three minutes to spare, final count for the day? 28,359!

Skipping a Day Won't Hurt... Will It?
So I procrastinated a little too much today. :P I haven't gotten anymore than 45 words done and I have to go to a literacy group... thingy that my dad is main speaker at. I had to do school and all today... So that kind of hindered my writing.. Heh... I didn't eat anything at all yesterday and drank nothing but a glass of tea and orange juice... My mom got upset with me, but I ate a bowl of cereal this morning and so she wasn't as upset... but it made me sick, bleah...
I gotta go to the group thingy now... I'm taking my laptop in hopes that I'll be able to write some.

Caught Up!
Well, this morning I woke up and started writing as soon as I rolled out of bed. :D That kind of helped, though I didn't get to far before my eye sight started annoying... So I went out of my room to the bathroom to put my contacts in, but my brother was in there... So instead of waiting patiently like a good little girl and pounded on the door and demanded to be let in... Good thing he ignored me. :P
After I got my contacts in, though I had to go clean the WHOLE ENTIRE house all by myself... even though my brothers were the ones who messed it up <.< They had to go to work and school... But I got it done! And it looks bery bery nice if I do say so myself.
After that I sat down at the table to write some more but nothing came... Well, I've descovered that for me to get any writing done I have to be lying on my stomach on the floor! xD It sounds strange, I know, but it works! I got maybe ten words done in an hour while sitting at the table, but I got over a thousand in an hour while on the floor! :D
So I got all caught up. I had to write three thousand words today since I wrote practically nothing today, but I didn't do any school *whistles*... well... I did a Spanish test, but... oh well...
I'm caught up! :D

AAGGH!
Ee, I didn't get more than 200 words done today... *pouts*
oh well, my fault. :P I did a lot of school, then watched ROTK and had a quoting spree with JF... AGAIN! :p then I sewed some more bags...
Yesterday I made five lined tote bags and today I did the same, though I only made four. Each one has one word embroidered on them, Like; Love, hope, peace, and Joy.... they're for a fundraiser for a school...
I'm gonna try to write a little... If I don't fall asleep. But I'm still quoting ROTK with JF at the moment. :P

I Don't Want To...
Heh... this morning when I woke up I had the strangest dream... One that made me cry... Which is weird because I never ever ever ever (you get the point) cry... I don't even remember it now. :p Something about a building being blown up... I think.
Then I didn't want to write or do school or anything, basically feeling lazy... And Bethel said she felt the same... So I spent the morning deleteing Spamish posts on the DioM board and quoting LotR with JF... again. :P
After that I got yelled... well... kind of... over the internet, anyways, I did some Spanish homework then go to writing on NaNo... My WC is now 21,736, though my MC is now dead. She was only almost dead when I last posted. *whistles*
So Now I gotta think of what to do for the last 23,000 some words... :p If Jamie's dead... then maybe if her mother's so heartbroken she'd... *grins impishly* I think I got it :D
Another reason I got yelled at today is cause I wouldn't eat anything till I had Bethel, Arwen, and... uh I forget, yelling at me :p so I had a piece of pizza. ^^

Now I'll Get It
Heh... just finished today's quota... word count is now 20,059. :D But my MC is now about five seconds away from taking her last breath... So I already have people calling me mean and such.
I started writing as soon as I got up this morning but after that I had to go to orchestra (my brother's wouldn't take me to church *pouts*) and we played for hours and hours... well... three and a half, but we played John Williams and Christmas music the whole time so it seemed like longer. :P We played 'Russian Christmas Music', 'Star Wars Medley', 'Princess Leia's theme music', 'E.T', and 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Though we probably won't be playing pirates at a concert because it was so easy for us... They like to work us hard. :P
After I got home I wrote... kind of... until Bethel yelled at me to go eat, not having eaten before then. :P so I listened and got something and came back and just finished. :D
Now I'm gonna watch 'The Two Towers' and have a quoting spree with JF... cause it's fun. :P
I should get ahead for tomorrow, though. *whistles*

Another Day, Another 1,667 Words.
I procrastinated until about 12:00 this morning... If you call cleaning your room and rat's cage procrastinating. :P Then I got to work, though phone calls and various people IMing me... kind of hindered it, I managed to get about 700 words done, though.
Then I had a viola lesson and so much theory! ... who cares about Mediants, Dominants, sub-dominats, and leading tones? As long as the music sounds pretty when I play it. :P
And after that! It gets even better! Sorry, :P quoting LOTR, I know, but JF is watching it right now and quoting it so much it's stuck in my head. Well, anyways, I had to go to dinner with my brother's friends and my brother :P and then a concert! Though fortunately I wasn't playing, so I didn't have to wear my 'penguin suit' A.K.A tuxedo shirt, skirt, and big black bow tie. :P
When I got home my computer wouldn't turn on... Had a fuzzy grey screen... So I had to turn it off and back on again, and I had hundreds of IMs waiting for me. *cough*JF*cough*AG*cough*Bethel*cough* :P so I had to talk to them awhiles...well, didn't have to :P but I chose to :D
But I FINALLY got my daily word count done! YAY! Bringing my word count up to 18,338!
People are mad at me now because my MC is going to die on Christmas day... heh... Oh well. :D I'm not even half way done with my word count and my MC is dying... good thing I started switching MCs in the middle... heh...

That took awhile..
Heh, so this is my NaNo Blog... :D For me to write down everything that went on... I guess :p
Well, while I was out of town I managed to get two full days out behind pace (Oh joy) and then when I got home I...for some reason did the math of how many words I needed to get done by that day, and found out I was another day under because I read my word count widget wrong! So I ended up being three days behind! :O
So last night I decide 'I am going to get caught up by tomorrow! Even if it kills me.' So I stayed up all night and past five AM... Though I finally fell over asleep at around 5:15... Then I got up at 9:45 and started writing again. And I did it :D I managed to get all the way caught up, even if I'm almost unconscious right now.
I'm kind of worried that my story is dragging... But I'll fix that in another day or two, people who have read it so far know what I mean. *hides*
I've found that doing word wars with friends in the dead of night...is very useful.
