lonetread | NaNo update, plus some other stuff. (Reply)

First, NaNo.

Day 5 word count: 175 in the QL/DZ crossover I've been wanting to write for ages. My narrator's voice is really... bizarre, but at least I've got something written. I mean, Johnny having visions in the future, and Sam having to fake it in the past? How could I not? :)

Day 6 word count: 258 in the Jack story. No, I'm not kidding. Yes, I started that over two years ago (it's dated 10/18/06; I know I've worked on it once or twice since then, but don't have that on me). No, I don't understand my muses either. But whatever, right? My goal is still intact.

Unfortunately, the prompts are not too inspiring today, but at least I've got those awesome ones from Days 5 and 6 to go back to. So you'll probably see either Samverse, QL, or SN/QL for writing_game in the near future.

Oh, and digitalwave is continuing their SN/QL, which I could not be happier about. *totally LJ stalking* :D

Second, other stuff:

I brought up T with Bryan yesterday, but I only segued into it near the end, so it gets first priority next time. Which, unfortunately, means that I'm probably not gonna get a script before my birthday, but that's okay, I guess.

I got my results back from the long personality test I took (the short one that we went over last time being the Myers-Briggs; I'm an ISTJ, if you're curious). The results kind of looked like one of those heartbeat machines, so I'll try and describe. There was a horizontal line that meant "average" and one that meant "statistically significant". I had a ridiculously high peak for "depression" and an only slightly less ridiculous one for "anxiety". D: Strangely, the schizophrenia one was also rather high, but he said that that meant something different when the test was created, and it wasn't a big deal. (For the record, the "I hear voices, true/false" question? I put false.)

Anyway, there was some other stuff, and then he points to a couple of spots and says, "This is 'gender masculine', and this is 'gender feminine'." The first was just below the average line, and somehow the second was just above the bottom of the graph. How he explained it was if you had a list of 100 masculine things/attributes/qualities/whatever, the average guy would pick 50; I'd pick 45. Do the same thing with the girls, and it would be 50 vs 15. I "bottomed out", in his words. I lol'd. I'd thought there'd be a discrepancy, but not one that big. That, combined with some other things in that session -- well, I definitely feel even more validated now. It's nice.

In other news, I saw Sam at work on Wednesday; that was cool; I don't get to see her or Becky nearly as often as I'd like. And then at the end of my shift Shannon, John, and Kali came by and we hung out and then went to NY Pizza and hung out some more and then went to Campus Corner and I got Sour Punch and it was glorious. Then we went to the meeting and watched "Dangerous Living: Coming Out in the Developing World", which was really interesting and about as sad as you'd expect. After that, I walked home in the pouring rain in my uniform. (So, off to do laundry now, since my uniform is all wet and gross and I have work this afternoon.)

But first, yesterday: SN rocked. 11H was also awesome. The ends of both broke my heart. That is all.

ETA: And I have a funny story! Yesterday in PMath, the professor was like, "So now... this is kind of like a game." And he writes on the board "Next GAME" and I'm sure the guy next to me and I were not the only ones who lost spectacularly at that moment. It was hilarious. PS, you lose.
