I could just see me getting up at 5 in the morning to write. Actually no. No, I couldn't see that at all.

I figure most days I have to be up anyway, the baby gets here and usually goes back to sleep. What else am I going to do? I tend to get up early now that I'm used to it, so I try to do it even if I don't have to. Some days though, I sleep in and write at night. Depends on the day I guess.
I did my writing at 5am again. yes, it's a good time for me to do these things. i was barely awake, likely still dreaming. I get some good stuff then.I wrote 2028 words. Seems I like that number. i think I've had it a few times. Interesting.
Total July=46,237
2009=250,317
OKay, this place is going to be full of dead bodies very soon. I have several Via Rail employees who are currently treading on very thin ice.We booked train tickets to take the girls to Toronto on the 9th of August. We did this on Tuesday. Yesterday the bastards went on strike. Here's my issue, why would they continue to book advance tickets knowing they are considering strike action that very week? Why?
Now I have to cancel the tickets, though it is unclear who can cancel the damn things. I've called and emailed and called and emailed again. No result. I have until Wednesday to take the tickets (which I haven't received yet) to Kingston (at least 90 mins from here) for refund or I will have to wait until the strike is over to get the refund. If I don't cancel before the 29th, I can't get a refund at all.
Which brings me back to "Who the hell can cancel these tickets?" Grrrrr!!!! It's over $200 we're talking about here, for me that's a lot of money to just say 'Oh well.'
So this morning it's back on the phone and yelling at overworked, stressed out employees who only care about getting off the phone. Too bad honey, you picked the wrong line of work.
I hope to have this resolved by the end of the day, or I'll be dragging a few train people in here. I need a foot stool, a doorman, and a few chairs. There's lots to choose from at this company.
Okay, rant over. Getting some coffee.
struggles to drag large body through the door. Man this guy is big. Gets inside, but bumps into Chrystal, who is no longer in her 'chair' position. "What the heck is going on in here? You are not supposed to be standing at the door. You are sitting over there, you are a chair. Don't make me feed you to Artie." Drags her back to table, and sets her up properly. Now, Pierre, what are we to do with you? I'm sorry I had to do this, but you were the one who answered my last phone call to the train station. If you hadn't given me the runaround, you'd be breathing and filled with normal human stuff, not straw and whatnot from Wendy's farm. So, what job would you like? Doorman? Oh I don't know. That railway spike in your head is kind of off putting. If I take it out there's going to be a big hole. **Sigh**Okay, you can watch the door. Just, try to blend in.So anyway, strike is off, my tickets are cancelled and I may not be able to rebook for the same date. I don't care. I'm going to a trailer park instead. Yay me!! I'm taking lots of beer and wine. Strange combination? You think so? I like both, and I'm not sure if each day will be a beer day or a wine day. I must be prepared.
I'm spending nearly a week with my kids and my parents, I should prepare for a tequila day.
Words today= 2709. Yesterday? I don't remember where I wrote them down. I thought I put it in my little book. Apparently I did not. So, there will be no words for yesterday.
That's what happens when you get flustered. You write things where they don't belong. Then you can't find them when you need them.
I didn't quite make my 2000 words yesterday. I had a sick baby here yesterday so by the time she went home, I was too beat to come up with much. I did get 1805 words which isn't too bad. I'm satisfied with that. So what's my July count now? Let's see.July total=50,751 Yay!! I made it. Sorry paul, it doesn't look like I'm getting 100,000.
2009=254,831
Well hello Henry. I haven't been in here much. My bodies aren't looking so good. Is that a nibble out of Chrystal. Interesting. Would you like a drink? It's cosmos today. I'm preparing for the first annual Tweedsmuir staff reunion tonight. I'm taking pictures for the website.
They should be up by Monday, as long as I'm still able to hold a camera when we get there. We're going to my friend's to drink and play Dance Dance Revolution on her Wii. Maybe a little boggle for shots. Yep, we're fun girls.
I'd be happy to stay home, but if I must go I must. I can't let my friends down. It should be interesting. I worked there ten years ago, and everyone from then until now is invited. some of those people I'd have been happy to never see again. You get some interesting characters working in a bar.
I don't see what would be so interesting about working in a bar, then again I've been told I'm a bit Anti-social and that sitting in a library reading the manga section is not interesting
Honestly Daisy, it's hard work and really not a lot of fun. Sometimes it can be, depends on the crowd. I wasn't liking it too much so I quit. The tips were great though. I could work from 9pm to close and bring home at least $200 plus pay. That's nice. I'd rather be home too, my nickname it 'the hermit' because I don't go out as much as my friends.
lol my friends have to come to MY house and sit there and watch TV for hours on end (this is why I call them my room ornaments) to really even think about getting me to go somewhere unless I'm in a REALLY good mood which requires money and no sister interruption (so today's shot)

im a hermit too.
jeff and i fight about it, he thinks it means i'm depressed and for me going out is a better indicator that i am unhappy.
lol I know I mean there is something seriously wrong in my life when I am willing just like that to go places
well my extrovert friends do and one of my extrovert friends happens to hate the guy I'm dating who I need to be less pissed at so I can dump him without telling him he's a crappy person and then when I say 'I'm not dating Curtis' I can mean it
If he's a crappy person, then don't worry about getting less pissed. Just say we're done. Maybe I really am a cold and heartless bitch. I don't think so.Kurt used to think I was depressed, he never really got why I didn't mind staying home. Now he embraces the fact. "Hey, you don't mind so I'll just go. " He likes to do his guy thing. Sometimes I'm glad to see him go, other times it would be nice to have another adult here.
ANyone else hate unplanned guests? I hate people coming over without telling me first. My mom even gives me a call before coming over. Is that really bad that almost all of my friends ask me before visiting because they know I'll either ignore the door or tell them to leave. Nicely of course.
it depends on that state of my house.henry you can tell your family i'm your girlfriend, it would scare the crap out of them.
just tell them it's complicated because she lives in california, and is married to a gay man, it's normal out there, and that she writes horror and musical theater.
There's a good solution Henry. You can't meet her because she lives in California. But here's her picture. She's a lovely girl, if a little bit loony.
you can say no i'm not gay but her husband is..hahaha
Maybe you should stick to the Whitney story.
OMG RENEE MY STRIPED DRAGON JUST BRED THREE EGGS! TWO BLUE STRIPED ONE SKYWING!!!!
Wow, busy little dragon Daisy. Maybe you should keep that striped one away from the others. You are going to be overrun by dragons.
well you can only keep one of the three eggs the other two will be abandoned but I'm glad I chose to breed those two, it worked and I abandoned a blue stripe (coveted almost) and one of the more rare commons that will actually get picked up no if only TJ would make pink stripes... but I have another striped hatchling who I'm hoping with grow up in a couple of days and thenI can breed that one for a red striped (hopefully)

Though, on the flip side, nothing can be worse than a bad anime either.
so true and yes slight;y I don't get to read nearly as much of it as I would like to.
I haven't read much manga, but I do love to watch anime. I prefer the anime TV series to movies because it lasts longer that way. Escaflowne, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Full Metal Alchemist are my favorites.
I've nver watched em'Rozen Maiden, Naruto, Fruits Basket, Peach Girl
I've heard of Naruto but have not yet had the chance. The others you mention, I had not heard of.P.S. Full Metal Alchemist is very dark and gory. Even for an anime, it's quite gruesome.
oh they are kind of girly mangas except Naruto and Rozen Maiden I think is really good
full metal alchemist is crazy.henry, um i'm a single married woman so i don't know if that makes me out of your league, although you forgot about dancer, and really i think its the dance that shines through in my posts.
totally kidding.
It's okay Henry my boyfriend is totally out of my league too even though he is my actual boy friend. BUt I really need to dump him...
GreenDaisy BlackStem wrote: "It's okay Henry my boyfriend is totally out of my league too even though he is my actual boy friend. BUt I really need to dump him..."All right, GreenDaisy, I'll bite. Why do you need to dump him?
Oh he can't respect my religion (Pagan) he refuses to believe it is a religion, and I really want to call him and tell him that if you send a bunch of God emails to my BEST FRIEND (who hates him) and tell her she's an evil Satanic witch (this includes turning things into crosses and putting them in front of her face and going "Get back evil!") when your girlfriend has the same belief system SHE'S GONING TO HEAR ABOUT IT!PLus he's in Alaska for three years (Long distance= nearly impossible) and me being slightly anti-social, he has to fight to get my attention I mean I ignore A TON of calls and he wants to talk to me all the time and it's just ugh!
thank you! Anyway yeah he is kind of annoying and rude and I'm getting sick of him. I broke up with him once on the influence of my BFF and the last thing he said to me was "I'm going to get a hot Eskimo girlfriend in Alaska" and I was like "Whatever"
You're too young for that crap anyway. Get rid of him. Enjoy being young.I feel your anti-social pain. No one gets that not everyone has to be around people all the time. Sometimes I have to lock my door, I have some very social friends.
I can't lock my door I don't have a lock and I'd get grounded@
um, if you get this rilled up about him, and he is a million miles away, just bite the bullet and put a stop to it. he probably won't be surprised especially since you have been ignoring his calls.you are too young to feel like you are trapped in a long distance relationship with someone you can't stand who doesn't respect your beliefs and the way you want to live your life.
besides being a pagan has absolutely nothing to do with Satan.

Opens door to find four dead bodies piled in front, what? What are you guys doing? Who is that on the bottom? I don't recognize that body, oh no. Andy? Are you okay? That's where you've been all day. What happened? No way! They're dead, they can't 'ambush'. Well, get out from under there. i've brought some beer, and some chips and salsa. Yes, ssaallssaaa. I still love that word.
so not much writing lately, I wrote just over 1000 words yesterday, I'll tack it on to my overall count when I get back to it. I've been editing like crazy and that takes time. A lot of time. It's good for me though, learning lots.
Now, I need to straighten out these bodies. Somebody is in big trouble. No Andy, not you. Is the beer good? You're shaking like a leaf? What on earth did they do to you. Where's your skirt?
*gives Andy pair of shorts* here, keep them with you. You lose your pants too often
Thanks Daisy, it's good to see that someone is looking out for him. Maybe he should wear suspenders, to keep them on.
**Hands Andy a pair of blue suspenders covered in yellow suns and purple butterflies.** Sorry, it's all I have. Come on, I have girls. Just shut up and wear them. We're weary of your haggis.
I am disturbing aren't I? My mom says it all the time, I know it's a gift.
Oh I meant the other thing. I think you should read some older posts in Paul's cubi, like right after he went away. That may explain a lot.

i kept trying to tell you guys what haggis was but you wouldn't listen.i think renee is weary of his twigenberries.
hehehe. You guys think i'm disturbing, have you met Lauren? She's my evil twin. Wait, we both can't be the evil twin. We're going to have to discuss this.
