catching up on monday = very long post

i got bitten by the writing bug last week. I actually just opened a Word document and started to type words that were floating in my head. Well not exactly floating.. more like my mind's blank then BAM stuff come out.

I also finally figured out the plot to my ornithanthropus ( winged humans) story and it also came to me this weekend but i chose sleeping over writing (yes that was bad :( and i'm sorry for it) and i got a really nasty dream because of it.

dawn sent me a nice link on how to write successfully written by no other than stephen king.

i've been meaning to post this link i found in tin's blog, On Meeting My 100 Percent Woman One Fine April Morning. It's a nice short story for Valentine's Day.
I think i love her classes too. There are times i wished i had taken some literary course instead of my engineering course... usually when i'm stressed out from work or when in college, i'll be reading some techincal book and my friends get to read wonderful books and short stories for class!

i took the weirdness quiz
What is your weird quotient? Click to find out!
the results:



Of all the weird test takers:
61% are more weird,11% are just as weird,
and 27% are more normal than you!

only 27%?!!! i must be doing something wrong. i'm turning normal! i know a lot of people out there won't agree to that so hmmm. lets take that test again...

ok nevermind. i got the same result.

and yet another mindless quiz :

I am going to die at 85. When are you? Click here to find out!


i've also started wearing my glasses. really wearing them and not wearing them for a few minutes, taking them off and thinking "i can see better without them". mostly because my head hurt when i didn't wear them and they really do work. my eyes don't seem strained in front of the computer and yes, it is easier to read.

i also got a yellow stress ball from my office mate. im looking forward to hours of fun playing with tammy and pretending to throw the ball around.
while we're at it, i forgive my friend for the lateness of my lotr because of this :


neil gaiman at sundance... and yes that's borroms getting his autograph Posted by Hello

yes i really wish i could meet him too.
