...because last year coming in, flopping down, and sharing imaginary snacks was the only way I kept sane.
Spent all day Saturday and Sunday studying, worked hard and well but only got a tiny fraction of stuff done, because it takes so long - there's still way too much material left that I'm clueless about. And the plotbunnies are sitting directly atop my head - out of sight, but still weighing me down. :(
*flumps down on giant lovesack* Anyone got any raisinettes?

Hey guys!
NaNo season has started, as has the grounding. Somehow November corresponds with the end of the quarter every year.
Brownies anyone?

I don't know why it's always raisinettes these days, I really must settle that craving in the real world at some point.

I'm just checking in here, making a reservation for later, because I KNOW that I will be back once November starts. I lived in the IHMAWTD forum in 2005 (back when the whole forum had this name, not just a thread...). Once, in week 3, I popped over to the "going better" forum and was shocked, SHOCKED to find that people had been posting liberally in there. I got out quick, full aware that I did not belong there.
No-hating myself and wanting to die is much more my style during nanowrimo.
I'll take that futon over there by the open window, thanks.
