Dancing cyberman and angels!

( Dance, dance! )

That is all.

So, I'm doing NaNo again this year. It's going...okay. I like my characters, but I hate the actual writing, and I had no plot.

Until today! On the bus on the way to class today I got my plot all worked out! I feel so much better about my writing and, once I get the boring beginning part out of the way, I think this story is going to kick ass! I don't know if I'm going to love it as much as last year's, but I certainly like it better than I did yesterday!

And I actually have a title and a summary for this year.
Wolf's Den
Alice is one of the few humans in a world of shapeshifters. She grew up with the government watching her every move and she's sick of it. Now, she's been invited to fly across the country to join other humans at university. They're living on their own, surrounded by shifters. And it turns out the government aren't the only ones watching them.

It doesn't really get into a lot of the plot, but that's the general idea. The only problem now is that I have too many minor characters who want to take over.

YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST!:
I want to know 28 things about you. I don't care if we've never talked, never really clicked, or if we already know everything about each other. I really don't. You are obviously on my flist, so let me know with whom I'm friends!

In other news, I'm going to quit my job. I'm back at school now and I just can't do both. I have enough money to pay for school for the rest of the year (and then some), so I don't really need to work right now. I'm just building up the courage to call my boss and tell her.

As some of you may know, I graduated from UTM in June. This year I'm going to Mount Royal University. Today I did a trial run of the buses, making sure I knew how to get to school for the first day. Here's a summary of my conclusions.

I've changed my username here to allykatb. I was getting tired of having all my usernames be the same everywhere except here. Someone already had allykat , though, so I had to go with the next best.

Everything should have stayed the same, just the name changed.

Went in today to have the cyst in my neck removed. The surgeon, after I was already there and changed, said he wanted to send me for an ultrasound instead of doing the surgery, but I told him I wanted it done today. So, they froze me up and got to work. An hour later and I was all done. I now have a new scar tacked on to the old one. I'm on two kinds of antibiotics, which are HUGE, and painkillers and I go back in 10 days to have the stitches taken out.

The surgery itself went fine. They burned out a lot of it though, and I really could have gone my whole life without knowing what my own flesh burning smells like. For the record, not good. It was also really weird to be awake while everything was going on, since I could hear it and feel pressure and tugging, especially when they were closing me up.

Right now I look like I was attacked by a vampire, since I have bandages on the side of my neck, and the freezing is starting to wear off so the pain's kicking in, but at least it's finally done. Hopefully this is the last time.


EDIT: Ewwwwwwwwww! Dried blood in my hair! Why do these surgeons never clean up after themselves? Last time I spent two days with half my face caked in blood before I went home and finally saw a mirror. At least this time I wasn't wandering around the hospital looking like something out of a horror movie. Just the entire back of my neck covered in dried blood. Once again, ewwwwww!

Also, the lightning storm going on right now is really pretty!

I was inspired to work on my Nano tonight. It would have been great. A nice little character piece about a dragon. Too bad the angel had to keep butting in. It would also be nice if I had any idea what they were talking about.

I'm finally past the stupid horrible scene that's been blocking me for the past three months!!!!!!! This won't really make sense to anyone, but I realized I'd forgotten about a character. Once I went back and put her in, the end of the scene just came pouring out. Now I can finally move on to the fun stuff! Now I get to write the end of the world!

After I go to bed. I have to be up in far too few hours and, as much fun as the end of the world is going to be, I think I need a nap first.
