NaNoWriMo Update

So...this whole novel writing thing is risky business.  I have finished my first chapter in which someone has already died (in quite a brutal manner i might say) and i am pleased with my work so far.  At least the quality of my work.  The quantity is lacking...big time!  I should be about half way through by now (25,000 words out of 50,000), but i am sitting proudly on 2,100 words.  Yep, i surely have my work cut out for me and a ton more to do.  But i am enjoying the experience.

In other news, Aggie Basketball is in full swing!!!  I am PUMPED!!!  I am addicted to it like a drug.  And as of now, I am okay with that.  The season kicked off last Saturday night against Weber State.  I waited in line for probably close to 3 hours to get in.  4th row, baby!  That's all i need to say.  After a rocky start and trailing at half time, the Aggies pulled out the victory 77-65.  It was a great way to kick off the season!

October to NaNoWriMo

I have never really understood Halloween.  Sure, as a kid it was great to dress up, walk around and get free candy.  But I've moved on a little bit past that.  Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for the day that I get to see my own kids dress up and go out.  But these days, i'm not quite sure what to do about it all.  So mostly i end up just hanging around and following a small crowd.  It tends to work pretty well.

But this weekend was pretty freaking sweet.  Friday night, I went with Alex and Kaitlin down to Layton to hang out with my friends Mandie, Abe, and Liz.  We had a fire at Mandie's house and Alex and I got into a wrestling match on her tramp (Resulted in a draw...lol).  We then had a late run to Taco Bell, and just hung out for the most part of the night.  Saturday, after i got off work, we carved some pumpkins in the afternoon and then went to the Aggie Basketball game.  I can now say my life is complete!  I had been waiting for that day since about 4 PM on Friday, March 19th when the Aggies failed to move on in the NCAA Tourney. 

 

The pumpkin Alex and I put our heads together to carve...pretty stinking awesome!



BONUS!!  At the game I was offered the chance to participate in a time out activity where i would have a chance to win a free dinner for two at Texas RoadHouse!!  I WON!!!  It was pretty freakin sweet.

After the game (the Aggies smashed that French university from Canada), we went to a party at my neighbor's apartment then watched a movie.  It was chill, but it was a lot of fun.

NOVEMER is National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) y'all!  So, I'm joining with my roommate Sam and a bunch of our friends and I am writing a novel!!! I'm pretty stoked about it.  Updates should come periodically throughout the month.  But if anyone has ever had the desire to write a novel, go for it this month!  It's the perfect excuse.
