The Friday Five

1. What vehicle do you drive?

An old granny Taurus. A.K.A. the smurf-mobile. The inside is blue. Very blue. Looks like a smurf exploded inside it. Sooooo not the car I should be driving. As Mooner would say, it doesn't compliment my aura.

2. How long have you had it?

Couple years now.

3. What is the coolest feature on your vehicle?

It has powered windows! My parents never had any of the fancy features added to their cars. We always had to crank that window down by hand. Such a hassle. When my cousins came to visit they'd always be shocked how barbaric we still were here in california, "You don't have automatic windows in your car?" I felt so uncool. My parents were so uncool for making me uncool. They didn't have fancy electronic thing-a-ma-bobs in their cars. What was wrong with them?! :)

But now, with my very own car, I have powered windows. All I have to do is push a button and the window rolls down all by itself. It's like magic.

4. What is the most annoying thing about your vehicle?

The absolute Blueness of the inside of my car. And I mean Blue with a capital 'B'. I love the color blue but do not believe that the entire interior of a car should be done in Smurf Blue.

It could be worse though. A friend of mine had a very finicky car. If you rolled down the window too much the radio went out. If you slammed the door with the right amount of force the radio would come back on. Another girl I knew once had a finicky windshield wiper. Every time she put her left turn signal on her left wiper would start waving up and down. "It's its little way of saying hello to me," she used to say. Every time the wiper would come up she'd say hello back to it. "Hello... Hello... Hello..."

5. If money were no object, what vehicle would you be driving right now?

A new Mustang Mach 1. I don't know why but I get all tingly when I see one of them on the road. The new cobras aren't bad looking either. But what would be really cool, and if I had the money, I'd buy a white 1976 Ford Mustang Cobra. That's the car Jill and Kris Monroe drove around in on Charlie's Angels. I've always wanted to drive that car. And live in their beach house. :)

Here's a small pic and a larger pic of the toy version of Kris's car. If only I had the money to buy just the toy version!

from the What Color Spork Are You? quiz *

You are the yellow spork! You're bright and cheery and look like pee. You always bring a smile to people's faces, unless someone is jabbing you into their friend's leg. You won't let that bother you though because nothing ever does. You're always too damn happy. Quit giggling you freak! As you already know, you're going to go far in this life, you yellow spork stud you!

What's On ... Right Now

What's On your 'to do' list Right Now?

I've got a few 'to do' lists. Here's a sample from my To Do List for Taking Over The World

1. Find perfect spot for evil lair. Must have room enough for dungeon, torture chamber, evil lab, bowling alley
2. Hire henchmen
3. Have henchmen furnish evil lair. Be sure to include: fancy gadgets, hi tech security, marshmallows
4. Buy evil wardrobe. Black. Leather. DFWMB's (Don't Fuck With Me Boots). Long flowing cape.
5. Find evil sidekick/second in command. Someone not too dumb, not to bright, and susceptible to my Evil Kitty charms
6. Buy fancy stationary engraved with evil moniker - The Infamous Miss Evil Kitty
7. Use super evil genius skills to come up with plan to take over the world
8. Implement plan

and that's all i have so far. it's at least a good starting point.

"Let the joyous procrastinating begin!"

I did it. I really did it. I signed up at NaNoWriMo last night. And starting in November I'm going to write my first novel. :) It won't be anything readable I'm sure, but it will be good practice for me.

I will write just for writing's sake. I will not worry about all the editing mistakes I know are popping up like pimples. I will not fret over whether or not its making sense. I will not get stuck on a sentence for hours just to make it sound right. I will not worry about writing crap. I will not worry that I will eventually toss out at least half of said crap in rewrites, if I ever get that far with it.

I will write and write and write, because there won't be time for anything else. I'm not scared by the word count goal (50,000) because some of my stories have been that long. I am though just a little intimidated by the time frame (one month). But if I shut off my internal 'worry over every little detail' button and just let the fingers fly across the keyboard, typing to my hearts content, I know I can do it. (Just so long as no disaster pops up in my life.)

"Writing a novel in a month takes so much courage that you deserve a medal just for showing up."



Oh lookie! I got a medal. Go me!

Okay. So I'm signed up. Now I have a whole month to figure out what the hell I'm going to write about. Guess I should hurry up and start brainstorming. :) :)

O Spot!

See Spot.
See Spot pose.
Pose Spot! Pose!
Spot's pose is tiptop poise.

O Spot! O Spot!

See Spot's posse.
Spot's posse spits.
Spot's posse pisses its toes.

O Spot's Posse! O Spot's Posse!

Spot is poet.
I is too.

O I! O I!

This survey was taken at powersugoi.net!

*** Why was I dreaming about book 6? I have no idea. It was just another opportunity for my subconscious mind to play a cruel, nasty trick on me. Why couldn't I remember the wild orgy dream with me and the guys from S Club 7? I'm pretty sure that dream's floating around somewhere in my subconscious. But noooo! I have to remember the one where I dream about the new Harry Potter book's eminent release (I was absolutely giddy in my dream about it), only to wake up and realize that its not going to happen any time soon. Oh what cruelty! If only I could lay the smackdown on my subconscious, or whoever is in charge up there of the Dream Remembering Department.

What's new pussy cats?

Can you believe that its October already? I can't. The year has gone by fast and its set to wind down even faster, I'm sure.

Too bad this particular day won't be over any time soon. Some moron coworker has elevator music blaring from his computer speakers. That's making time draaaaaag.

*sigh*

I really wish I had something interesting to write about or something funny to post. As it is, all I've got is elevator music to complain about. It's a really slow day on all accounts. Blah.
