FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME!
And it was terrifying!
To be fair, I only fell down once, and I had the time to fall backwards rather than produce a glorious smack to my face. My major problem was the fact that I couldn't really relax and get into it, like I can do with rollarblading. I imagine it's just 'cause it was my first time doing it, so with practice I'll be like the five-year-olds wizzing by.
Which is also a hazard, I might add. Lots of kids would swing in front of me, probably under the assumption "oh, she'll get out of my way if something happens". Yeah no.
Though one of the cutest things ever is watching adults try and teach really little kids how to skate. The poor things are like baby giraffes.
I never know who to invite for Challenges, so I threw some names on the list and then decided to make a post about it.
My entry for the Challenge slam is Urban Legends of the Taco (well, I wanted to call it that) and while it's not quite the Occupy theOtaku one that I wanted to do, it's kinda close enough.
Blank calls the articles section an "urban legend", one that he hears come from the likes of me and 'gome a lot, especially as of late. That's where I got the idea. And it's sad to think that the only he and others know about the existence of writing sections through the older of us.
Anyhow. GO GO GO GO
Three years ago, I busted up my face and gave myself a nice scar on my chin. Everything has been great, considering I got stitched up well, except for that fact that hairs love to grow along the scar line.
Now, as a lady, I do get stray hairs in places on my face not my eyebrows, so I pluck them out. And the only reason I'm mad at these ones is because I know that they're deliberately growing on my scar line. I thought scars were supposed to be cool and mysterious.
Bummer.
I've got it!
I never make resolutions, save one (don't die), but ever since this whole Occupy theOtaku started up at 4am, I've been thinking. I've seen this community band together like a bunch of crack addicts to get that 5,000 comment goal. And in the past twelve hours, I've been reading a lot of intelligent comments and constructive back-and-forth between members. "We are the one burrito for the ninety-nine chalupas" and all that. Chat has seen some of the longest strings of actual people thinking on conversational form in a long time. And I'm...impressed.
But also sad because...it's taking this to get me to talk to people I don't normally talk to. Though hey, whatever helps, right?
So my resolution: Get to know people better. I don't think I'll be subbing like mad, more trying to branch out and be more friendly. Comment on random stuff and lurk around like a creep. It's at least a decent one to try.
JaNoWriMo is basically my way to try and make up for the fact that I just didn't have the time for NaNoWriMo. My huge problem was just having to do schoolwork, and the other itty problem was just not really having much of a story to write. I think "creative burnout" was a big problem.
But that's why this has been made. It was something coined up by me and my friend when we both acknowledged how hard we were failing at NaNoWriMo around mid-way through November.
Not like I really expect much success, but at least an effort can be made? The idea is to try and write 50,000 words and all. Maybe posting up the bits that we get can motivate people along.
Eh. That's all I've got.
