Long Couple of Days
Welp, I’m finally home and making an attempt at relaxing. I had a ridiculously taxing day at work followed by a LONG dentist appointment because they’re fond of overbooking patients. *grumble* Then, because my dentist is far from my house, I had to deal with after-work traffic. Urg.
Yesterday was a bit long, too, but I got some stuff done. I updated the entire Eternal Legends website, which was a bit time consuming. (I’m glad it’s one winner per category!) I’m happy with the way they turned out and a few authors even handed in their bios so I was able to personalize the page for them. Of course, many didn’t, but whatever. I’m not going to kill myself trying to”honor” people that don’t want to be. *shrugs*
I went to facebook for about an hour yesterday and played some games. I can say with confidence that a big portion of that “need to play” is dead. I’ll still play, but not like I did. I’m putting more time into my fictions and I don’t want to get too excited yet, but I’m slooooooowly regaining that feeling of writing being an escape and not an additional chore. But again, the process is a really slow one and I’m not pushing myself. Like, the last day or two I haven’t felt like writing, so I’m not, but while I was out a few ideas brewed, so that will probably lead to something.
In other news, I finally figured out -with certainty- what the prizes will be for ED’s Xmas contest and they’re pretty cool. (Then again, my prizes always are, lol. *pats self on back*) I try to give things that I would want if I won a contest with tangible prizes, so I think the winners will enjoy them. After all, why wouldn’t they? They write anyway, so what’s not cool about getting a gift for the effort? So, we’ll see who enters. Winners will be chosen by admins, so the mods can enter, too.* Pokes Nikkie and Danga with a stick*
Okay, off to shower and get that relax thing started. 😀

Just sent off my encyclopedia – volume M. *smirks* But I just wanted to hit you here and show my love – hope you got your relax on last night and that you’ll have plenty more over the weekend. *loves ya*

Ouch! More joys of being at the dentist? *cringes* Those chairs at the Drs/Dentists are rarely very comfortable after a bit.
Squeeeeeee!! On the writing front! Take it all nice and slow and let it just flow… Look! I rhymed! Maybe even take time for some original story ideas. *waggles brow*
*giggles like the Philsbury Doughboy then curls up to giggle even more*
I am thinking on writing for the contest! Have a few ideas in mind. *waggles brow* What can I say…. the idea of a deer (not sure if male or female- though a doe would be cuter) who suddenly takes a HUGE interest in InuYasha… *giggles more* Just to keep it under/in the word limit…
Who knows maybe with December the sudden flood of Idiots and people tripping will subside for a while. *is hopeful*
*gets evil glint* TIME FOR THE SPIDER MONKEY GLOMPAGE ….. WITH FEET!

MY NIKKIE!
Where the heck are you, girl?! I’m only now etting the full time to reply to all my comments, but I was looking for you the other day. I need tomail you, dammit! My IM was acting ka-blooey and I missed your message. By the time I got on, you weren’t on. LOL. How the hell are you? You tell me, ya hear?! *shakes fist* 😛
I had another dentist appt. today, but I rescheduled. I’m too damn tired after yesterday. >.< The only good thing about going there is that my dentist is really, really good and VERY gentle. He “caters to cowards” and has a very soft touch. He almost never hurts me. In fact, the only time he does is when I get needles, and even then, he does little things to make it fast and as pain-free as possible. I travel over an hour to get to him -that’s how great he is.
You should definitely enter the contest. The prizes are great. 😛 I haven’t added them to the site yet, but I will. I’m trying to get Danga to do it. He’s having a snag with the theme, but I’m pushing it! And the idea of InuYasha and a reindeer (particularly a doe) would be SO DAMNED CUTE!!!! Do it!! Do it!! Do it!! 😀
And speaking of idiots, I totally have to mail you about something so you can laugh. Hard. Like I did. *lmao*
*SPIDER MONKEY GLOOOOOMPS -WITH FEEEEEEEEET!!!!*
