NaNo Progress (2012)

*nod* I kind of hope I can win NaNo by Thanksgiving. Then it won't just be an eat-yourself-into-oblivion day; it will be an eat-yourself-into-oblivion-because-you-just-did-something-awesome day. XD

Wow. I'm tired and it's beginning to show. Bahaha.

Is it bad that I keep scrolling up to look at that gif of Patrick over and over again? It's like some sort of drug.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

... I keep looking at it, too. It makes me happy.

[Krys]

... Same here. I always kind of stop and look at him for a second before checking everyone's progress.

And then I look at him again.

Because Brigid makes me sad.
