My days have not been so interesting to read about lately, so I haven't posted much about me-- just silly quizzes and surveys and stuff when I feel like taking breaks and hanging out online. My days basically consist of waking up a little before or at 11:00 am, checking stuff online, taking a shower, eating a small breakfast/lunch, and then a mix of writing and watching TV (usually the occasional dabble in some stupid MTV show or a Vh1 countdown, or if something interesting is on History Channel, or if I manage to find a tornado Storm Stories on the Weather Channel) until the siblings and parents get home. Then I hang out and chat a bit, eat dinner, etc . . . Then I usually chill some more, and go online to talk to those who appear there until I go to bed about 1:00 or 2:00 am.
I'm getting quite productive on this novel. I don't write terrible amounts per day, but I do write some, and that's enough to keep me progressing-- and it also keeps me thinking about it, nearly perpetually. It's actually gotten quite therapeutic, though I'm hoping I haven't messed too much with the plot to parallel the things I want to get off of my chest. Though, honestly, it's probably for the best, because the book has been a sum of a lot of growth-- having been written for five years-- so naturally it's grown organically along with me.
(I worry all this writing has also made me really wordy when I talk to everybody, lol . . . I also just worry and hope that this type of wordiness is the right type of wordiness . . . Oh well, there is always, always editing, even if it were perfect, lol . . . )
Today was an actually semi-eventful day, because I saw someone besides my family, did leave the house, and used the phone for more than just answering calls to RSVP for that scholarship breakfast at the high school my mom was organizing (which was today, so that should be the end of that, lol . . . ).
Jessica called in the morning, and we got together for a lunch of miso soup and rice, and a movie. However, we ended up talking and not watching the movie until she had to leave to take her cat to the vet for a check-up appointment. When she came back, about an hour later (I just chilled until then-- I actually got out my violin and messed around with that, for a little while, lol . . . ), we watched Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest as a refresher for this Friday. We didn't get all the way through it before Jessica had to leave to make dinner for her siblings, but we noted where we stopped and will watch the ending to prep for the midnight showing (which I bought tickets for, today!).
Speaking of that, prediction for the third installment:
-The music box (versions of which Davey Jones and Tia Dalma both possess) will play the role as artifact of purpose for the movie, as the gold-coin necklace and magical choice-compass did for the first and second installments.
-Davey Jones will decide to use his once-every-ten-years leave to go ashore. (They wouldn't have mentioned it otherwise, lol . . . ).
. . . and all I've got to say is the OTP had better be Will and Elizabeth, or nothing at all. None of this Jack/Elizabeth shiznet. Yes, Jack is the more interesting and well-developed of the characters, but Jack can subsist on his own in a way Will cannot. Unless Will nobly dies, or something . . . but I feel like if one of the lovers needs to die (to get out of the picture, or whatever), it needs to be Jack. (His noble moment, or what have you-- since he really didn't have a choice, in the last movie, lol . . . ). Yet, honestly, I don't know that Elizabeth really deserves either. (Maybe she can die, lol . . . ). She really needs to keep it in her pants until she can figure out which one she wants. The one she wants-- none of this playing both sides crap; it's just mean (I mean, if you can get Jack to make that puppy-dog face, lol . . . ). And I just really cannot abide the hurting of others simply out of selfish personal interests-- "curiosity," or whatever it is she calls it . . .
"What vexes all men?"
"The sea!"
"Sums!"
"The dichotomy of good and evil!"
" . . . a woman."
Speaking of good and evil, I like Option #1: Are People Born Evil?
Other than that, I got a call from Danny today (his justification for calling being that he had talked to all of his other ex-girlfriends today, and I needed to be included, lol . . . though we did try to talk on my birthday but phone connections went down)-- talked about summer plans and such, it was pleasant. I also talked to Lisa, Patricia, Rick, and Peter via IM, and tried to call Keith earlier but it didn't work. So it was a pretty social day, as far as social goes for me, these days, lol . . .
