(no subject)

So after four months (herpderp, I was going to do it monthly and that turned out so well) I updated my to-do list for writing and realized I have absolutely no writing challenges/etc signed up for! WHICH IS ALL WELL AND GOOD, though part of the problem was that I was signing up for stuff when life was a whirlwind of crazy (not to say it still isn't, but it's ... LESS of a whirlwind, more of a dust devil now) and then having to beg out. I still feel bad about the imaginarybeasts one, I EVEN HAD AN IDEA, BAWWWWW. But.

The guest room is scraped and painted after a week of frustration and rawr and pain!
The roommate is moved in and the cat hasn't killed me in my sleep for bringing another person in!
My last app got in, so I don't have to write a new one and revise it!

There's still redoing some of the grouting for the bathrooms, and a few other things to take care of, but for the most part, I think things are settling down. And I am at a point where I have saved enough to buy a netbook, and let me tell you, it is extremely tempting right now, especially with how my laptop hates life and refuses to properly register my n key half the time, and the a key is threatening to go the same way. Bawww computer, love me! ;w;

Also there was an overwhelming amount of people being terrible and encouraging me with my Social Experiment, which I'm not sure--can I really call it that? I'm not planning on using it as an excuse for anything (I just plan on writing ridiculous porn, but very frankly, all of my porn is ridiculous, so maybe it should just be like those mainstream novelists that use pen names to write for Harlequin or whatever and gawd smack me now for comparing myself to actual professionals). Also I know this is something that gets bemoaned everywhere fic writers congregate, that porn and OC borderline (if not deeply in that territory) Mary Sues always get more attention! I JUST WANT TO SEE IF IT IS TRUE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT IS TRUE, BUT! Though this probably means I should spruce up my acutal normal FFnet account, so I have a proper control. Or should I use my LJ? But I think FFnet still gets a larger readership, since I tend to get semi-regular notifs of comments/favoriting versus my poor dusty disused LJ. A proper control should be in the same format, but ugh, I really hate formatting for FFnet; I hate how it gets rid of my linebreaks and scenebreakers and boo. MAYBE I WILL MAKE THAT A PROJECT.

Oh my god, guys, I miss writing so much it is like physical pain. :( But while my keyboard's fine for chatting and the comment-spam style threads that CFUD uses, actual writing-writing makes me grouchy. All of the LJ updates I've had for the past like three months have been, as a majority, made from work. Baw.
