XML: Mad Confusing

So, I'm sitting in Web Dev II right now. Our teacher has left for the break and all of us students are confused by the XML we're fighting with. The class had decided as a whole that XML is "mad confusing". Three of us have exactly the same code and it does three different things. And we're all right. This is ridiculous. Why would anything use code that's so unreliable.

I completely forgot about doing NaBloPoMo in March. Mo just came and said that she'd failed it, and I remembered that I'd been planning on participating. Wow, that's my new NaBloPoMo record: 0 posts. I can't go anywhere but up now.

NaBloPoMo in March?

I'm thinking of doing NaBloPoMo in March. They even have a cool theme that you can blog about: lists. Let's see if I can make a list right now.

Things I Want To Talk To My Family About When We Talk Tomorrow:
Not!Snow Day
My Classes
Friends
Supernatural and Stargate Atlantis (yeah, my family is as bad as I am)
Things to bring when they come up on Saturday
Things they've been doing for the last two weeks (I feel like it's been forever since we spoke, but it's only been a few weeks)
The epic music vid I found to the song "Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking"
The East House Dinner
East House being the best house ever

Lists are harder than I thought they would be. NaBloPoMo in March would be fun though. I'd like to give it another shot. I was able to write more than 50,000 words in November, but I forgot to post on the 4th day of the month.

Sometimes I Fail At Life

I forgot to post yesterday, which means I lost NaBloPoMo after only four days.

Because I didn't post yesterday, I will win NaNoWriMo.

"Cat and Mouse" - Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in site,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.

Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
When all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me…

We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?

Am I supposed to be happy?
when all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me…

You must live for me too'...
For me too...yeah, yeah…
You said that you would die for me…

Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.

when all I ever wanted, it comes with a price

I love this song. Carissa showed it to me after Melissa showed it to her. It's reminds me of Supernatural. It seems like it could be made into a songfic from Sam's point of view.

Yay me!!

Word Count: 2318.

Tomorrow (later today) my goal is another 2000 or more.

NaBloPoMo Post the First

I don't want to get caught up in class and writing my NaNovel and forget to post, so I'm doing it now. This is my first NaBloPoMo post. I promise not to name them all like this one. That would be rally boring. I will be putting all the post from this month under the tag NaBloPoMo (or at least one a day). And I garantee that alot of the posts will also be about NaNoWriMo.

At the time of writing this my word count is 1073. And I wrote it all between midnight and 3am. Go me!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!

T minues 11 hours and 43 minutes until the kick off of NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo. I'm ready...I think. I have a short todo list for the day:
Work out how Dom finds Cadence's killer in chapter 10.
Outline Chapter 11: the arrest.
Think up a novel title.
Think up chapter titles.

Crunch Time Everybody!

This is it. It's crunch time now. Less than a week until NaBloPoMo and NaNoWriMo.

For NaNoWriMo, I'm pretty confident that I'm not going to run out of the things to write, but I'm worried that I'm going to have problems with tenses and with POV. I really want to have at least three different points of view: Dom, Cadence, and fly-on-the-wall. Entire chapters will be done in one POV and will be marked so that it's clear who's perspective I'm writing in. I'm worried that I'm going hole myself up in my dorm room and not leave for the entirety of November.

For NaBloPoMo, I'm collecting lyrics for my favortie songs so that if I have nothing else to blog about I can post the lyrics and analyze why I like the song and stuff like that.

Does That Make Me Crazy? Possibly!

Well the title is taken from the Gnarls Barkley song "Crazy" because I thought it fit quite well with the subject of this post, which is my state of mental health.

This November I have decided to participate in NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November. 50,000 words is more than I think I've ever written, EVER, but I'm going to give it a try. I'm actually shooting for 51,000 because it divides nicely by 30 days (1700 words a day) and that way there is no chance of word count mistakes when I send it in at the end of November. The goal of NaBloPoMo is to post on a blog everyday of the month of November. I have a blog (and look, you've found it!) and I hope that blogging in November will be a nice break from writing essays for my classes and writing my novel. In addition to noveling and blogging like a crazy person I will have to go to my classes (I'm taking five different classes, but I have eight a week). I have three hour and 15 minute classes (twice a week each) and two 2 and a half hour classes (once a week each). Also I work. I only work three days a week, but I manage to squeeze 12 hours of working into those three days. Work isn't really a set back though because I sit at a computer and I'm allowed to work on homework or anything else, as long as I do my job as well. Actually, I'm posting at work right now. I'll definitely have time during work and some of my classes to write my novel and post here at my blog.
