NaNo

So, have you noticed that my NaNo meter on the left-hand side of this blog has updated?

That's right, I started writing yesterday. I updated my wordcount today. Pretty cool :)

We bought more NaNo snacks, this time at the British imports shop. I got a raisin and biscuit Yorkie bar (it's chocolate with raisin and biscuit), some Munchies (chocolate, caramel and cookie squares) and a small bag of Dolly Mix, which is a candy mix. Plus, we have leftover Halloween candy.

This cake is awesome.

Mom decided to use up one of the cake mixes, so she picked a lemon one, and man, is it good! I got a second slice.

So on Wednesday, I went to pick up my stuff from the library, including Twilight. I started reading it that day, and it is now Sunday and I finished chapter five today. Wow. My Ravelry friends are right - I am getting sucked into it!

Although I was a little annoyed that it took so long to find out why Bella left Phoenix when she loves Phoenix but hates Forks...

And, though I did get excited whenever Edward was nice and caring towards Bella, or whenever he'd look at her deeply and she'd feel amazing, but I still don't go for weird dudes with dark circles under their eyes. Maybe it's something I'll appreciate more as I read the book???

The only character from a book that I find extremely attractive would have to be Numair Salmalin from the Immortals Quartet by Tamora Pierce.

Neil from I Capture the Castle sounds pretty handsome, too, but Dodie Smith doesn't describe him in great detail. I guess it's because it's Simon that get mentioned more, because he loves Rose.

But really, I prefer long-haired Englishmen. Like Robert Plant ;)

Man, this cake is good.

I worked on my story a bit more today. I might write another seperate draft for the story, either on Google Docs or on paper, since I don't trust Word '07. That reminds me, my keyboard was being stupid today, but Mom fixed it.

My cake is now gone except for crumbs, but I'm still happy.

My thumb's better.

So, my thumb is healing nicely. Which is good, because that means I'll be able to play Final Fantasy VIII sometime soon. I had to start a new file a week or two ago because I got lost on my first file. Yikes.

I went to cardio kickboxing last night, and now I'm aching. It's my own fault, 'cause I haven't been going to cardio kickboxing on a regular basis like I should be.

Also, I started a new short story. It's about ghost hunters. I was so excited when I started writing down the characters names, because I'm so pround of the story idea.

I added a few more books to my GoodReads to-read list. Everyone has been talking about Twilight, so I thought, "Why not? Everyone on Ravelry who's read it loves it, so it can't be bad."

And now I'm craving honey garlic chicken wings. We ordered chicken wings last night, and we got some honey garlic ones. I had three for lunch and I'm hungry again. There's still five left, but I'll leave them for Dad.
