Twilight

Ok, so I had originally decided that I wanted to wait awhile to go and see the Twilight movie. I didn't want to get mixed up with the Twihard fangirls and the crowds. I was going to try and watch it on the internet. I spent a good hour trolling around today trying to find it with no luck. I guess its really too soon since it just came out yesterday. Then I started thinking, if I watch it on the internet, not only is it illegal but it would be really really bad quality because it would be filmed in the theatre.
So, Tyler and I are going to see it tomorrow night. We're going to a late show (9:50pm) in hopes of avoiding the crowds. Frank and Josie might come with us, I'm not sure yet. I'm waiting for Tyler to call and let me know so I can buy our tickets online. I'm pretty excited to see it.
I've heard a lot of stuff about it already. Some people are saying that its really good. Other's are saying its terrible. I've heard that its cheesy and that its so bad that its good. I'm scared that its going to be bad haha. Actually I'm scared that I'm going to like it and everybody else will hate it. That's what happened when we went to see the Spiderwick Chronicles. I think I probably will like it though, its supposed to be really close to the books. We'll have to see.

I still haven't done my stupid door to door canvassing yet. Lisa said that I can go probably a week or two into December though and she'll drop it off at the Diabetes Association for me because the restaurant that she works at is right near it. I've raised $33 so far from friends and a few people from work. I was saying to Jodi the other day, I'm going to be really pissed if I do my routes and nobody from any of the houses donates. What a waste of time that would be.

As for my Nano, I wrote maybe 2000 words this whole week. Haha! I'll be lucky if I even make 25000 let alone 50000. Oh well, next year I'll have to plan better.

Anyway, I guess that's it. My life is really boring...

Stuff, Stuff and More Stuff

So I think I've kind of decided to forget about Nanowrimo. It's too much pressure and I really don't have the time to keep up with it. I figure that I'll keep trying to write my novel when I can and if I end up with 50,000 words by the end of the month, awesome, if I don't, oh well. It sucks though, I really wanted to do it this year.

So the funniest thing ever happened at work today. I just want to write it down so I never forget it, haha. This woman comes through Drive Thru and orders a veggie burger combo and a cheeseburger combo. I hear someone in the background say something about cheese but just assume that she wasn't talking to me because the other woman keeps ordering. We give them their food and they leave. Five minutes later she comes back to the speaker and says "Um, there was something wrong with my order." I apologize and ask her what the problem was. She says "You put cheese on my cheeseburger." I don't say anything for a minute and then I'm like "You didn't want cheese on the cheeseburger?" so she says "No, we asked for a cheeseburger with no cheese." So I ask her to come up to the window to get a new burger. She doesn't even ask for her money back even though a cheeseburger costs 60 cents more than a hamburger. She just wanted a cheeseburger with no cheese because her friend was allergic to cheese. What the hell? Then like five minutes later a woman comes through and orders six gravies and nothing else. What the heck did she want those for I wonder?

But yeah, enough about work. Today is Lisa's birthday, we had a little family get together yesterday. It was a lot of fun. There were really too many of us to have a big sitdown meal so we just had a lot of snacks and finger foods. There was lots of singing and stuff.

Anyway, I guess that's it for tonight. I need to shower and stuff before I head back to Tyler's in like a half hour. I should probably get moving!

November Woes

I really hate feeling that I have way too much to do and not enough time to do it. I have so many things that I wanted to get done this month and its already half over!

The first one is Nanowrimo. I really wanted to do it last year, but I forgot about it until it was really too late to start. This month I started right away on November 1st and did well for the first couple of days. About four days in I realized that my story wasn't going to work, it wouldn't end up going anywhere and I had to start completely over again.

Its not like I have trouble with the writing or even getting my word count up, its finding the time to write that creates the problem. I wish that I could write every day, if I could I would probably be ahead right now instead of 5000 words behind. I've been working so much these past few weeks and spending at least three or four night a week at Tyler's. I can't write when I'm over there so its difficult.

The other thing...I signed up back in September to go door to door raising money for the Canadian Diabetes Association. I was supposed to receive my kit in the mail...but it never came. I finally got it on Friday and now I have less than half of the month to get my two routes (and probably more if I want to get all of my volunteer hours done) finished. This is something that I really wanted to do when I signed up for it, but now it seems like a pain in the ass. I was going to go out today and do it, but now its raining so I'll probably have to go out next week after work sometime.

On top of everything else, I have the cold from hell. Stuffy noise, fever, sore throat, cough and all the rest. I should probably go to the doctor, but with working 11-5 (or later) Monday-Friday, it doesn't leave me time to go unless I go before work.

Anyway, I should really go...I have 5000 words to write in...2 and a half hours.
