It's an ugly picture.
For the fifth night in a row I venture into the bitter hours of the night, screaming at my computer (or more accurately the internet) as I try and fail to find useful articles for my papers. I gave up in frustration a little while ago when all I could find was one dead link after another. And it's OBVIOUSLY the University library's fault because it's not helping me when I left my papers to the LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE. Good lord love a duck one day I'm going to dig a hole for myself so deep that I won't be able to claw my way back out again. I don't know how I do it, but I somehow manage to get all this done. One day, I'm going to fail miserably.
In other news, I have a good start on my final story. WMRR is postponed until my life isn't so crazy. I think this is the busiest my life has ever been. I don't think I could physically, mentally or emotionally take on any more tasks.
Oh look, I got a text message from one of my classmates. Apparently I've been appointed to print the chapbook.

FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUU

Audience
I get the strangest search words or phrases listed under my stats for my blogs. My favourites include "Gary Lutz" (who I think I mentioned ONCE on a list in a random post...forgot who he was and had to google him again), "the majority of religions", "??? 4?" and "big tits". I'm not sure where the "big tits" comes in, because I have never (aside from now) talked about tits of any sort, big or small. I also wonder why someone would click on this site if they were looking for "big tits". I mean maybe it's some acne-ridden teenager who lives under a rock either searching it for giggles or for...other reasons, but really, "Where Mighty Rivers Run" and "Critical Drivel Theory" don't really indicate that there would be "big tits" on these pages. I don't even use "big tits" in my tag lines. I've no doubt used "big" before, but "tits"?
Of course I'm just asking for more people to click on this thinking they'll see "big tits". They'll see the WORDS "big tits" tons of times now, but that's certainly not what they were expecting.
And I'm (not) sorry, but you will never see any of that on either one of these sites. I'm REALLY not that type of girl. Would kind of undermine everything I've worked for in the past few years, and would GUARANTEE to undermine me for the rest of my life. Honestly...what people post on the internet about themselves is absolutely shocking. No wonder employers look here (and yes, I am aware that future employers can look here to judge me as well...OHI FUTURE! PLEASE HIRE ME, I'M PROBABLY UNEMPLOYED AND VERY HUNGRY). I've got to stop writing these at 2 in the morning.
Anyway, I just thought that was...odd. I am still writing. Really. I'm probably not helping my rep any by talking about "big tits", but it's not like I had a rep to begin with. If, one day, I do have one, you can all search this and giggle at my stupidity and randomness and I will not think any worse of you for it. You have my permission.
I've been experimenting with a new idea, and I'm liking the outcome. It's a lot more violent and descriptive than I'm used to writing, which can be considered an improvement in my writing. WMRR has it's violent parts, but I'm going with a "no holds barred" attitude in this case. Might not go anywhere, but it's good to try new styles, forms and ideas.
WMRR has ground to a halt again. I have a ton of essays and a short story due in the next four weeks, and I need to focus a lot on that. The rough draft of my essay was reviewed this week. I need to be more original and organized (imagine that). It's tough getting your work torn to shreds. I'm getting better at it, especially when I KNOW I've put effort and thought into something (because the critiques aren't that harsh). One of the hard lessons to learn as an aspiring writer. People aren't going to like your work sometimes, and they will be brutal with their words. The moral of the story is just to suck it up, have a drink with a couple friends and move on.
In the meantime...current projects:
-Bulletstorm soundtrack continuous mix
-Research for essays
-Writing of essays
-Dungeon Keeper Episode 14
-Finish Dan's Interlude
-Finish Chapter 10
-Start Chapter 11, 12
I think those are the right chapters...I can't remember so late at night. Or early in the morning. You decide.
And no, I'm not tagging this post with "big tits".

Republic of Thieves
Is supposed to be released tomorrow. Then in Can Lit today (yes I do pay attention...this just required my immediate attention due to my hapless fangirl status) I found out that the release date might actually be in October/November. Why Mr. Lynch? Why do you torture me so? I mean, you're not as bad as R.R. Martin (which I haven't read yet...please don't shoot me it's on the list), but honestly. I can't handle the fake outs. I was looking forward to not being able to get my 20 page research essay done because I would be too invested in reading the third book of the Gentleman Bastard Sequence.
But the Chapters site still says March 9, 2011. I have hope. Seriously though, I almost cried when I saw October/November. Watery-eyed and everything. Though, that may be the dryness. I will cry for real if I don't have the book in my hands by the end of the week.
Though reading about criminal transportation in the Atlantic is most fascinating. I will keep telling myself that until the paper is done.
(I jest, I'm actually interested in the topic)
In other news, survived my latest critique. I have to admit, it was the best one I've had since the penny story. Tons of jokes. Thanks my fellow classmates. You're contributions were useful and hilarious.
Also have a new idea for a story, though, I don't think I can use it for my final submission. It'll be too long. I am excited for writing and thinking about it though. When I have a paper due.
DAMN IT.
