Psapphirical

My house is surprisingly burglar proof these days. In the past, whenever I locked myself out accidentally I've always managed to get back in. There was always the hidden key which opened the back door. Or I could climb in through the kitchen window.

Today I went for my run without my keys. Nobody was home, but I figured if nobody was home by the time I got back, I could always go around the back and use the spare key. Or climb in through the kitchen window as a last result.

Oh how wrong I was. -.-

When I got back, nobody was home so I went around the back only to find that the door that lay between me and the hidden spare key was LOCKED. The guest who's been staying over at our house had been all industrious and fixed the lock on that particular door. O.O So then I went to the kitchen window that I used to be able to climb through... but I had forgotten that earlier this year we had changed the kitchen windows, and now they are not climb-throughable anymore. So then I checked the living room slidey door that leads out to the dead fish pond, but that was locked as well. And so I was locked out for good. I wasn't very amused.

Luckily for me, mum came home ten minutes later and let me in. :D

In other news, I haven't been able to write anything for NaNoWriMo AT ALL because the last two days have pwned my brain. But I shall now go attempt to do so.

Current word count: 1700 words

A good start to November!

Write 1700 words for NaNo
Run for 30 minutes
Do 100 sit ups
Go to uni and research my next 2 assignments

Urgh, I'm so exhausted.

Now I just have to watch Bionic Woman and Heroes, and I can finally go to bed and SLEEP.

Also, a quiz meme thingy:

( The TBSOL quiz )

So the results of my last poll are as follows:

Fantasy wins by a narrow margin as the genre of choice.
Most of you prefer that I write brain fluff instead of deep meaningful thingies.
Every single one of you want there to be lesbians in my novel.
The majority don't want kittens.
The majority do want Vikings.
And finally, most of you think I can actually do it. Heh. Poor deluded fools ... How very heartening!

Here's what I've actually decided to do (which may still be subject to change):

It will be historically based. Not sure if my version of history will have magic and gods in it yet, though.
It will mostly be brain fluff, but I will try for deep meaningful thingies if I am able.
There will be love between women. I have yet to decide how that'll work though - as in whether it'll be the OTP driving the plot or be maddeningly tantalizing subtext. Leaning towards the latter at the moment.
There will be no kittens.
There will be Vikings. One of the main characters will be a Viking shield maiden. I can say nothing about the other, because her origins are supposed to be A BIG SEKRIT. That is all I can tell you at the moment.

Currently I'm swinging between being excited about November 1 and wondering whether I was utterly crazy to sign up. I have a few ideas about what to write, but I don't know how far they'll take me...

Time to play WoW!
