Is nu mijn ziel al aan het veroberen. Somebody, save me!
Oké, here is the deal: ik heb een plot. Alleen heb ik nog geen namen. Of uitgewerkte personages. Of uitgedachte plaatsen. Of enig idee hoe magie werkt in mijn wereld. Me haz no clue.
Oké, dat eerste is niet helemáál waar. Ik heb 1 naam. Latrenia Hegeomaistri Sunoaie. Dat is de naam van mijn hoofdpersonage. Maar, obviously, gaat niemand de tijd nemen om haar de hele tijd zo te noemen. Zou wel goed zijn voor m'n wordcount, trouwens, maar goed. Ik heb dus een NORMALE naam nodig voor d'r, zodat iedereen haar ook kan aanspreken zonder vermoeid te raken. Ik heb ook namen nodig voor al mijn andere personages, waarvan van nog maar eentje ik ook maar een beeld heb. De rest is 'oh ja, er zijn ook vrienden en familie en vijanden maar wie het zijn, hoe ze zijn, hoe ze eruitzien en hoe ze heten... weet ik het'. Oftewel: ik heb een heel leuk plot, en zero personages en plekken om dat plot mee waar te maken. En ik heb nog geen 2 weken meer om dit uit te dokteren, want ik kan moeilijk mijn personages 'A', 'B', 'C' enzovoorts gaan noemen. RED ME.
Nee, doe maar niet. Help me met brainstormen, maar laat me wel brainstormen, want dit móet te doen zijn in 2 weken - ik heb dit soort dingen wel eens in een middag uitgedacht. Dus, Ike, hou op met zeuren, ga met een pen en je gloednieuwe NaNoschrift in bed liggen en schrijf alles op wat je bedenkt, zolang het op een manier relevant is voor je verhaal.
Ik wou dat dat soort peptalks naar mezelf hielpen. Ach ja, ik ga wel verder met mijn ziel in kleine hapjes aan NaNo voeren. Misschien, als ik op 1 november gewoon geen ziel meer overheb om te verorberen, dat ik de 50.000 woorden haal!

Er staan teveel leuke dingen op die site
Today, I was trying to decide whether or not I needed to wash my favorite hoodie. I looked at the tag and it said: "Machine wash, tumble dry low. Or just wear it dirty." My decision was made. MLIA
Today, I went to lunch with my boyfriend at a local sports bar known for having a small tv in every booth, and several more on the wall, all showing the various sports and news channels. What booth does he pick? The one set to the Disney channel, which was showing Aladdin this afternoon. He's a keeper. MLIA
Today, I was joking around with my male friend. He told me that I, a female, make him doubt his sexuality. After spending several seconds thoroughly offended, I remembered that he's gay. Best compliment ever. MLIA.
I am a new bartender at an expensive restaurant. A lady ordered a margarita that costs $12. It tasted weird but I gave it to her anyways. She never complained and left the restaurant drunk, stumbling and laughing. I realized it tasted weird because I forgot to put the alcohol in it. MLIA.
Today, I was called to the principal's office of my twin son's school because they were cheating on a test. Apparently when one needed an answer they would tap out the number they needed on their test and the other would cough once for A, twice for B, three times for C, and four times for D. I don't know whether to be angry that my children were breaking rules, or worried that my five year olds might be evil geniuses. MLIA
Today I went to the grocery store and bought a bag of fruit with pictures of apples on it. When I got home I opened the bag expecting to find apples, inside were bananas. I checked the label and underneath the word bananas was written "bet you wished you read the label." MLIA
Today, my teacher was trying to stop our class from leaving their phones on silent. He then proceeded to call out the names of the Bluetooth devices that were switched on. Most of them were "Ash Babe" or "Emmaaaaaa" but mine (after being informed by their previous class when he did the same thing) was "I have a secret crush on Mr. Johns". After his cheeks turned a severe beetroot colour, he stopped. And I won. MLIA
Today, I got my graded math test back. One of the questions involved drawing some funky-named geometric figure and I had no clue how to do it. So, naturally, I drew an elephant instead. The teacher simply put a red question mark by it. Apparently, in her confusion, she forgot to count it wrong and take points off my test. I win. MLIA.
Today, a boy was texting under his desk. The teacher called on him and said "Your either texting or playing with your penis, neither of which you should be doing." Awesome teacher. MLIA
Today, my boss was writing next week's schedule. Beside every name, she drew a little picture for Halloween. There was nothing beside my name. I was disappointed, until she told me there's a ninja beside mine. MLIA.
Today, I was discussing the probability of me failing my English class with my mom. She proceeded to tell me to "do anything I could to get a good grade" then after a paused begged me not to sleep with my teacher unless absolutely necessary. MLIA
Today, I went to the local orchard. They have a play area, with a rule sign at the gate. The first five rules were normal, like don't throw things, and wear the wristband for proof of purchase. The sixth rule was "Parents, don't leave your kids unsupervised". Underneath that, in italics, read "Kids left unsupervised will be given espresso and promised a bunny". My parents and I started cackling madly. MLIA
Today, while driving with my boyfriend to his house, we passed a guy riding a bike without both of his hands on the handle bars. Reason they weren't there? He was playing the guitar. I wish I could obtain even just half of that level of awesomeness when I get older. MLIA.
Today, I took a math test. We were instructed to "show all our work", but I only used my calculator. When I finished my test a flipped my paper over and drew a replica of my TI-89+ and circled the buttons I pressed the most. The girl next to me filled the backside of her paper with equations and numbers. I got full credit, She did not. MLIA
Today, I went through the McD's drive through and ordered a #3 with a cinnamelt. I realized I did not have enough money for the cinnamelt so I quickly drove out of line and pulled in a parking spot by the door. I walked in and, almost as if puzzled as to what I should get, I ordered simply a #3. I was happy to have enough money for the essentials. The man proceeded to hand me a bag and said, "here. there's a cinnamelt in there for you too. some ass hole just drove off after ordering." MLIA
Today, I was having car trouble so I texted my mechanic cousin asking what I should do. We had a ten minute conversation before I realized I had the wrong number and wasn't talking to my cousin at all. Thanks stranger for your advice. My car works now. MLIA
Ik moet echt vaker tekenen bij toetsen - het schijnt het geniaal te werken XD

MLIS-quotes
Ik verveel me XD
Today, I was called by a telemarketer. When he asked to speak to the head of the household, I began speaking frantic spanish (mostly "No comprendo"). He told me to hold on. After waiting a few seconds, a spanish woman was put on the line. She began speaking, and after a few words I started saying "I can't understand you!". The line went silent and a different english speaking man was put on the line. I got them to switch 4 times. MLIA.
Yesterday, I made cookies in Home Ec. I sat at my bus stop after school, eating them out of a paper bag and couldn't finish them. Instead of wasting them, I wrote "Dear Stranger, please enjoy these cookies. I didn't spit in them. Love, Me." and left the paper bag there. Today they were gone, with a note that said "Dear you, Thanks. Love, Stranger." MLIA.
Sunday, at church, during the children's sermon the Pastor asked "What do you have to do to go to heaven?" Immediately one kid answers "Die." Everyone burst out laughing for the next five minutes. Greatest children's sermon ever. MLIA.
Today, a student of mine handed in a long term essay on a blank piece of paper. He proceeded to tell me it was written in invisible ink, as I told him to see me after class, he pulled out a special light and turned it on and sure enough, there was his essay. He got an A. MLIA
Today, I listened to my health teacher, who said that green foods are healthy. Tonight, I introduced cookie dough ice cream to green food dye. I feel like I beat the system. MLIA
Today, I read an MLIA post about not having to do math homework because page 265 was ripped out. Last year my little sister ripped page 265 out of my transition math text book and ate it. You're welcome, stranger. MLIA.
Yesterday, my daughter got a detention for being late and explaining that she had been parachuting in Thailand the previus night. Today, I went to her school and confirmed what she'd said. the look on the teacher's face was priceless. MLIA.
Today, we got our test back in World History. For one of the questions, we had to name a famous archeologist. I couldn't think of anybody so I just put Indiana Jones. Complete credit was awarded and I ended up getting the highest grade in my class, by one point. MLIA
Today, while at Target, I was summoned by the father of a shy 5 year old. I am in the Army, and I was in uniform. The son wanted to talk to a real soldier. Instead of talking he shot me with the nerf gun he was hiding. Then he laughed and high fived his dad. I'm pretty sure I was ambushed by a five year old genius. MLIA.
Last Night, I went out to dinner with my family. When the 16 year old waitress took our drink orders I ordered a water. Five minutes later when she brought our drinks, I asked if I could get a new water without ice, because I'm allergic to it. Without questioning what I said, she apologized and brought me a new water without ice. My whole family started laughing, she still didn't get. I have lost all faith in the education system. MLIA
Today, my friend was being hit on by some random girl he didn't know. I texted him, "Want me to save you?" His reply, "Please." I proceed to sprint out of the hallway, darted outside (where he and the girl were) and grabbed his wrist, "WHAT?" he yelled. My response as we ran off, "YOUR NEEDED IN THE BATCAVE!" MLIA
Ik begin echt met de minuut meer vertrouwen te krijgen in het vreemdheidsgehalte van de rest van de wereld XD =D

Today was fictional charachter day at my school, so I dressed up as Mario. Throughout the day I ran into a Luigi, a Peach, a Wario, and a Yoshi. Guess who got to frolick with their brother, kiss a cute girl they didn't know, have an epic battle with their arch nemisis, and get a piggy back ride to all of their classes? MLIA
Ik hou van www.mylifeisaverage.com Het is serieus nog genialer dan www.mylifesucks.com. Er zijn mensen die als handtekening een zwemmende walvis hebben, leraren die niet lezen wat leerlingen opschrijven en daardoor een a4-tje met beledigingen een hoger cijfer geven dan een bijna-vol-a4tje met daadwerkelijke aantekeningen en mensen die een brief openen van hun jongere zelf en daar een kwartje vinden 'voor het geval mijn toekomstige ik arm is' - om vervolgens precies een kwartje nodig te hebben om drinken te kopen diezelfde dag.
Van dit soort dingen word ik zo vrolijk XD
Owh, en Rome was leuk. En ik ben te lui om alles te vertellen - ik post nog wel eens foto's ofzo. Het was in ieder geval geweldig en mijn voeten zijn minder dood dan verwacht (hoewel ik nog steeds 2 blaren heb en mijn eeltlaag op mijn hele voet denk ik een paar centimeter is gegroeid :P)
