Some of you received that personal-info-survey type thing via-email, either from me or Alanna. I've never actually filled one out before, and it looked interesting enough, so I sent it out. Let me tell you, I am
loving the responses. I was especially curious about how the questions directed at the sender (do you like the person that sent you this, etc.) would be answered. Dude. I feel so special now. Greg's answers were sweet, as always (<3), and Kat called me "the single nicest person" she has ever met.
That's an ego-booster if I ever saw one. [Also, I finally found out that Kat's bf and little sister have names (Eric and Gabriela... in that order).]
Then, in the guestbook, Megan calls all my English assignments "good". That's the point! They're just "good" -- they could be "really good" or even "great". I have the potential to write something that "sings" (as Mrs. Anderson puts it when she's talking about the AP test), but I can't seem to do it. I think part of what hurt my writing was my new penchant for procrastination. Most of those essays were written, like,
right before I turned them in. And my distaste for them was so strong, I didn't even want to try and write a better version when she extended deadlines, so I was stuck with a B+ when I could have come up with something A-worthy. Bleh. This narrative (narration?) is looking pretty spiffy, though. =)
Last night, while chatting with Greg, Thomas, and Alanna, I finished coding the first four chapters of
The Fall of a Dark Lord. So, if anything confused you (like the segments of inner dialogue/thoughts), feel free to go back and re-read it. (Linkage is... under linkage.) Greg's still working on Chapter 6, so it might be a while before that's up. Omega-ing takes long enough, even when I don't have to code as well. [Not that I mind coding, dear. It's all in the name of artistic expression, right? And thank you for the happy strut. Too bad I wasn't around to trip you. ;)]
Off to omega, finish my narrative, and tweak the blog. Not everyone loves purple as much as I do, and even
I'm tired of this. New color scheme soon, I promise.
