Belated post. :)
Now playing: Scott Alan - The Distance You Have Come
And when that day has come, when you've conquered what's behind you, don't forget the moments that have come before. And when you reach that place, when you're miles from where you started, don't forget the distance you have come
Last night- as my luck always decrees- was my best writing night in days. I actually hit my target of 3k, and didn't die trying. My Internet died instead. We went over our bandwidth for the month (three hours before it was due to start the new month) and so we got cut off. On the plus side, we now have full Internet again and I no longer have to worry so much about the amount of Internet I'm actually using when I sit on Gaia or update my NaNoWriMo word count obsessively. XD Soon Steve should unblock YouTube again, and I'll be able to listen to Kerry Ellis' new song (from the album Keys by Scott Alan) on repeat. I'm SO getting it for Christmas. I don't normally buy CDs, but this I've decided that I'm going to ask for all of those CDs that I really love, just to show my appreciation. So, at the moment that list consists of:
Keys - Scott Alan
Dreaming Wide Awake - Scott Alan
Wicked In Rock - Kerry Ellis
I Stand - Idina Menzel
I'm thinking of adding another Kristin Chenoweth CD because I like the other one of hers that I bought a few months back. And, as for DVDs I've been pretty sad and asked for Tin Man (because we had it recorded from Sky, but somebody deleted it off our Sky box), Les Mis 10th anniversary show (because I just really wanna see the damn thing), Stranger Than Fiction, and a special edition of The Wizard of Oz, because I know when I go to uni I'm not going to be able to take a video with me; I won't likely have a VCR. A DVD player on the other hand, well, I'm typing on one right now. ;)
Anyway. Enough about Christmas, and Kerry Ellis, and the Wizard of Oz. I'll leave you with another excerpt from the wonderful world of Exos, where my story is getting stranger and stranger by the day:
“Is she actually drunk?” he asked me. Spinning on his backside he shuffled to look me directly in the eyes where I was still crouched next to him. I shrugged my shoulders.
“I wouldn’t put it past her,” I answered. “Look, we’re really sorry we ran you down-”
“I’m afraid that a simple apology isn’t likely to cover it.” He pulled a disgusted face at my appearance, and then looked back at the trailer behind us. “I could have been killed- maimed- in an accident like this, and you wouldn’t believe for a second how much of a problem that would have been. As it is I think I’ve sprained my leg, and you shan’t get away with it. You- all of you- how many of you are there? - You will look after me until I have made a full recovery. First you will deliver me to my house and then you will wait-”
“I don’t think so,” I said, shaking my head sadly. “In case you hadn’t gathered, we’re in a bit of a hurry.”
“I don’t think you quite understand the severity of this situation, Miss.”
“No, let me make it simple for you: We need to get where we’re going, and we need to get there fast. Does that make sense? We need to get there, because there are lives that are at stake, and we’ve come too far to give up now.”
“If you do not come with me, then I shall report you for such reckless driving, and you shall have your vehicle taken from you. I can assure you now that listening to me would be your best course of action.” With an icy level gaze he took in our reactions. Eden was still snorting to herself, and Vivienne had poked her head around the door in time to here this last roll of speech. She cast a confused glance around, and then shook her head.
Also, worrying as it is, Rouge has been getting it on with Olive. This was... not planned? In fact, Olive as a character was never planned. Rouge sleeping with her brother was, and Rouge sleeping with Antoinette I can handle, but Rouge getting very close to having sex with Olive in an air duct while spying on government leader Queenie? It makes me faint just thinking about it. I knew I had to have a little bit of sex, but this is just ridiculous. Even said in Rouge's own words: "Olive’s kiss was rough and took me by surprise. In fact, I think it took us both by surprise." Mhmm, yes love. Whatever. Now I have the dilemma of figuring out if it would be appropriate for them to sleep together properly, and whether I could use a love triangle (square?) to bring about her downfall. It's not entirely out of the question, but I'd always thought of Antoinette as being too loyal, and I don't like the idea of Olive betraying Rouge... And Blue betraying his sister is out of the question. I mean, he'd never do that... Would he? Blergh. If anybody out there is actually reading this, feel free to let me know what you think. XD
Ehe.

And there'll be days when the weight of the world will bind you, and you're wondering if the world really needs you. But keep on goin', keep on driving, 'cause the sign ahead will soon be behind you.
