:D I'm so sorry for you.. and yes, i know you have. I was happy to see you.

183 word poem. I won't write more tonight because it just wouldn't feel...right. It's not that I have writers block; It feels like if I wrote more, something different, it would be disregarding the poem. Which would be wrong. So today I do not meet my goal for the sake of not sacrificing moral instincts.
: ) i know what you mean. its like when you paint this pretty picture thats done, and you want to continue, but there is nothing left. its just ... DONE.
Mod
960 words of a bioethics paper. YAY IT'S DONE!!!!
Total word count:7130
But I'm kinda wondering what happened on day 20... I think that I wrote that day... I just don't seem to have posted it.
Mod
507 words!!!
Total WC--
7637

OMG I know EXACTLY what you mean. If I write something that really gives me this moved feeling, I can't write anything else for at least the rest of the day...

guess what?
The widget won't work here, but I wrote 532 words in 11 minutes with write or die!
it was utter nonsense that I really don't want to keep, but it was fun!!!
Mod
I'll post what I wrote here. I didn't finish the story but... hey, it was really spontanious and not menat to be kept!!!
I could ahve avoided all that troubel if I had only brushed my teeth. Wow, what a difference that would have made. I wouldn't be with the person I am now, maybe. Or maybe I would, I don't really know. All I know is that it entirely ruined my first date, all those years ago. I think it was.... well... hmmm...... 17 years, 3 months and 29 days ago, at 7pm.
I was putting on my dress, as we were about to go out to a fancy restaurant. It wasn't that fancy or elegant of a dress though. I mean, I wore something much nicer to prom... wait a second, nevermind that rant right there about the dress! It was the diner before prom!
But it still was my first date with that boy, robby stevens, so handsom. Ah, I remember staring at him in class quite often, wishing and wishing that he would ask me to prom. And I got lucky-- he did. I was really schocked and excited when he asked me, actually. I mean, I really didn't expect him to seriously ask me. I thought that he was interested in some other girl, a girl that I didn't kjnow the identity of, but he most definitely didn't like me.
Anyhow, it was our first date. After he had asked me out but before prom, we had hung out a couple times, sat at the same lunch table, and talked to each other in the three classes that we shared. But we hadn't gone on an official date yet. But prom was our official date. Our official first date, and actually it was to be our official last date as well.
So, as I was saying, I was getting ready for the diner before prom. I had already gotten my hair done earlier that day, and I had long since picked out my shoes and my dress. All I had to do was put them on, then put on some makeup, and I would be ready to have the night of my life. Or so I thought. Once I was all ready, including grabbing a purse with some minty breath mints, and a mini toothbrush and tube of toothpaste, and some cash, and a tampon or two just in case (yes, it takes quite a bit of skill to fit this into a purse, but it is a necessacary skill that every woman aquires at some point or another, just like walking in high heals) I sat on the couch and waited for him to show up at the door. It didn't take long.
He was there, in a tux that had a magnificent red tie. I walked up to him and gave him a slight hug, making sure not to mess up my hair or makeup. After all, I didn't want to go to the dance looking like a slob or a slut. That would have been terrible. then we went through the whole routine of my mother taking picutures with just me, with just him, and with the two of us together. I did not know later on that I would want more than anything to rip up the pictures.
Can you guess what might have happened?

Mod
lol nice grammar, Roni. I thought you were the"good English, GOOD English!" freak.

Oh, I am. My characters aren't though. Not always. :D I have to make exceptions for them, when I get into character.

Day 26
865 words with write or die. Sort of a journal. Here is what a wrote (It's a peek inside my head :D and yes, I do swear in my head sometimes):
La la la la la la la whoooooo what time is it summertime!!!! That's right!!! It's summertime! That means that we can go outside! Isn't that great boys and grils. Or not boys and girls, but just girs, or just boys, or just kids, or hell, just even me? Hmmmmm I wonder what it will do if I randomly stop typing. There is no timer running. Or at least, any timer that I can see. But yet, there must be a timer, because it keeps timing you even after you have typed for a certain amount of time. Time time time time time time time time time time time time. I hat tiem. It's annoying. It ruins my schedual, you know, of sleeping, and doing things when I want to do them. I don't have a choice most of the time. i ahve to wake up at a certain time, go to school at a certain time, go to classes at certain times, go home at a certain time, then within a span of time, I have to do all of my home work. SArcastically, HAPPY HAPPY JOY JOY!!! whooptie frickin doo. doo? did somebody say doo? That's what a dog makes! do do!!!! but it is not like Je fais do do, like little french kids say. I go night night. That's what I want to do right now. i'm quite quite tired. It is ten to ten, and I have to get up in eight ish hours. Oh, there goes time again. It dictates how much sleep that I am allowed to have. Well, you know what? EFF YOU TIME i WANT TO DO THINGS ON MY OWN TERMS, NOT YOURS!!! But then again, it is not really time itself that I hate. It is the people that impose the time, the limits, the constraints, upon me. That's why I did not set a time limit for my 500 count word goal. Wait, five hundred count? Is that like thread count, but with words? No, it can't be. That doesn't make sense. I must be going crazy, or just loopy with tiredness. It acatually happens all the time to me. Wait, I just realized as I wrote that last part of the sentence that I really didn't know what I was talking about. I forgot. I am much more tired than I thought I was. Oh dear, that means that I have to go to be soon. But right now I am taking a short break from talking to Jade in order to write, and I want to continue to talk to her. I mean, she is an awesome person! I love her! But at the same time, I never get to see her, because she moved. :( oh so sad. Uh, oh. A smiley just snuck into my writing. That is not good! Run away from me, IM speak! You are not welcome here! i can promise you taht much! and if you don't believe me, I can show you out the door. But then again, I haven't said anyting like LOL on accident, so I'm not that bad... Or I mean, I'm not doing that bad. Oh well, I have now reached over 500 words! wow, that was fast. I wonder if I could reach 1000. Maybe. But at the same time, I want to get back to jade... hmmm, perhaps I can allow myself seven hundred and fifty words? I mean, if I type out seven hundred and fifty because pressing the actual number keys is too slow, certainly I can type fast enough to reach sevenhundred and fifty words, can't I? I suppose that I can. I mean, its doable. I've done it before. I once wrote one thousand words in thirty minutes. I bet taht I could do it much faster now, because my typing speedd has increadse and I'm not following a storyline or anytting. But then again, I am more prone to correct spellling mistakes here. But at the same time, I 'm not. WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH TIME!!! IT KEEPS CREEPING UP!!!!@ RAWR!!!! and that fickin at sign. I mean, I pressed a one with the shift, not a two. Bt what does it do? It pretends that I rpessed I two!!! Okay, maybe I did press a two. does it matter? Its' just one key, one mistake, in a random rambling of randomness in a journal type thingin. Because this totally is a journal, no matter what else I can think of to call it. Which is nothing. So I must call it a journal. Wow my hands are getting all sweaty and uncomfortable. WOw! it's two minutes until ten PM. And I ahve written almost eight hundred words. Oh, whoops. one minute until ten now. I will tyupe until the clock dings ten in my kitchen. Not quite enough to reach 1000 words, but enough. Quite enough. Maybe eight hundred and fifty words. After all, I'm at eight hundred and twenty five right now. Well, more now, because with each word I type it increases. Oh, look,t here goes the clock! got to go! and eight hundread and fifty words! wow! I did it!!!!!

No, I think it was the fact that it was the most random thing I have ever read in my life. My journals actually have a purpose . . . But I don't let ppl have a look into my mind, because I have too many secrets.

Wahoo! And I thought you were creative, gosh, I love your title!
Mod
In a way, this topic is like my bedroom; I try to keep it clean, and only partially succeed.
Mod
Love the new title, Viv! Mine's boring...stole Dee's. Lol.... love the write or die post. ^^I tried write or die for the first time today, and i whipped out 305 words with 30 seconds to spare! And the best part, it was good writing! It helped me get through my tough spot! YAY!
Wahoo, but I absolutely hate write or die lol. The only thing that actually helped was kamakazi mode, the one everyone else hates. *grins mischeviously* I just got an idea for my thing's name! :D
