November 2nd.

Now playing: P!nk -

I'm the instigator of underwear, showing up here and there uh oh. I'm always on a mission from the get-go, so what if it's only 1 o'clock in the afternoon: it's never too soon to send out all the invatations to the last night of your life

AWESOME day today. Seriously.


I've written 7747 words today, and it hasn't even really hurt me too much. I also rediscovered my love for word wars. HoyeshIhave. <3

I wrote for a bit, didn't get far but by introducing a new character really enjoyed myself, went out for dinner, wrote a bit more, and then started warring. Now I have chapter three completed, chapter four completed, and a first paragraph for chapter five. And the real action is just about to start. I'm happy as... a happy person on happy pills. >D

NaNo + alcohol really isn't good for the brain... >_<

I'll leave you with a little food for thought. Typos included, and TOTALLY on purpose.

“Oh, Eden, push your legs together,” I moaned and covered my eyes with my hand. “That was more of you than I ever wanted to see. Why did you dress like that?”

“Because I was a vampire, duh,” Eden said pointedly. “Vampires look like that.”

Danger laughed and put out her cigarette in the ashtray. “Honey,” she said to me, “Halloween is just a short nickname for 'International Dress-Like-A-Slut Night'. Didn't you get the memo?”

I shook my head, the joke lost on me for a moment, and then I smiled.

“I just don’t understand why she wouldn’t talk to me,” Eden muttered, crossing her legs in a more ladylike manner than before. “I mean, I tried everything.”

“Well, face it, dudette, maybe she just doesn’t like sparkly vampires, hey?”

“I wasn’t even sparkly,” Eden whined. “I was all black and dark and dangerous. I even pretended that I wanted to eat her and she wouldn’t listen to me.”

“Like I said...” Danger laughed and then got to her feet, straightening out her skirt. “Anyway, if she didn’t want you then she can’t be worth it, can she?”

“No, you’re right.” She sighed and then bent to pick the shoes up off the floor, almost falling off the sofa as she did so. I reached out to grab her arm but she only handed me my shoes. “Here,” she said happily. “I borrowed them. I hope you don’t mind, but none of my shoes screamed vampire quite like the patent leather. I sort of cracked the heel a bit on the way home, because I didn’t realise it was this late- Gracie told me that it was only last night, but it’s not last night it’s tomorrow, so I got confused and tried to grab the underground, and my foot got stuck in one of those grate thingies that the air comes in from, and I fell over.

“It’s nothing that a shoe-maker guy won’t be able to fix though, right?”

“Right,” I agreed, not feeling in the right mood to argue with her. I didn’t even know what she was talking about half the time, and she’d lost me after ‘I borrowed them’, so I just nodded and smiled. “It’s fine, I’ll just get a new pair. You keep them.” I handed them back forlornly and then picked up my book again.

About Me

My Photo
Name: Kitty Taylor
Location: Derby, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

I'm a 23 year old female, who spends much too much of her time online, and in the book store. I'm in love with writing, and reading and anything mildly creative, really. In the future I'd like to write professionally, because it's something that I know would be perfect for me, but until I come up with best selling material that will keep me in the moneys, I think I'll just head for whatever I can get. Got contacts in the writing business? Let me know, I'd love to learn more about it.

"Come on babe

Why don't we paint the town?

And all that Jazz

I'm gonna rouge my knees

And roll my stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all

That

Jazz

Skit two!

And all that Jazz

Hotshot!

Whoopee!

And all that Jazz

Slick your hair

And wear your buckle shoes

And all that Jazz

I hear that Father Dip

Is gonna blow the blues

And all that Jazz

Hold on, hon

We're gonna bunny hop

I bought some aspirin

Down at United Drug

In case you shake apart

And want a brand new start

To do that-

Jazz

Find a flask

We're playing fast and loose

And all that jazz

Right up here

Is where I store the juice

And all that jazz

Come on, babe

We're gonna brush the sky

I bet you lucky Lindy

Never flew so high

'Cause in the stratosphere

How could he lend an ear

To all that Jazz?

Oh, you're gonna see your sheba shimmy shake

And all that jazz

Oh, she's gonna shimmy 'till her garters break

And all that jazz

Show her where to park her girdle

Oh, her mother's blood'd curdle

And If she hears her baby squeal

It's For all that jazz

And all that jazz

And all that jazz

Come on babe

Why don't we paint

The town?

And all that jazz

I'm gonna

Rouge my knees

And roll my

Stockings down

And all that jazz

Start the car

I know a whoopee spot

Where the gin is cold

But the piano's hot

It's just a noisy hall

Where there's a nightly brawl

And all that-

Jazz

No, I'm no one's wife

But, oh, I love my life

And all that Jazz!

That Jazz!"
