NaNoWriMo is Coming to Get You

This Saturday will be Kevin & mine's 7 year anniversary. I wish he'd be here, so we could spend the day doing something fun together: like going to see that new photo exhibition by Diane Arbus at the Victoria & Albert Museum. He mentioned he'll bring me from Canada a murder mystery he found lying around his farm. Can't wait until the 24th!

Silke might get tickets for us to see Ladytron on Friday. Their new album is brilliant so I'm very much hoping she manages to snag us them damn tickets.

Like most people on my friends' list, I'm going to try NaNoWriMo again this year. This time, however, I'm going to cheat, together with [livejournal.com profile] liadain. We'll be putting together, separately, a collection of short stories (reaching 50,000 words.) Around the beginning of December, we'll send to each other our completed collection. My cheating bit: I'm going to include thousands of words already so it's not such a struggle. Just really want the chance to put something together, and make sense of some of the stories I've already written. Plus, I get someone else's short stories collection out of the deal!

I wish I could be more easy with my writing on Livejournal... less self-reflexive and self-editing. I love it when people's posts seem to have been spurted out, full of energy and mistakes, but also full of humour and wisdom. Too much pairing seems to kill the writing, and I feel like I kill mine more than I keep it alive. I guess it's hard for me to let go here, most of the times. I really don't feel like I am 100% myself in this thing.

well, it could be worse!
Even I'm not 100% myself in my journal...well, about 95% though.
But the really dark, depressing, evil stuff, I hide from anyone but myself

I hide my evil depressing stuff too. Just don't feel like inflicting that on anyone.

well, lately, with me, I obviosly haven't been hiding that side to me...

I am hurting so bad, and I need to get the poison out any way I can, ya know?

At least we know, as your friends, what you are feeling and going through and we can help you stay away from those very dark thoughts...

This is why I love lj, those of you I know on here, I do consider friends.
