I'm torn into pieces / You threw every piece into a fire
Having DSL is very nice. If only for the convenience of late night fact checking whilst writing. Ha ha.

Anyway, besides my muse finally deciding I'm worthy of her companionship once again, in recent news I have been:
  • Playing Half-Life 2 and Portal (via The Orange Box) on X-Box 360. I've already completed the main "storyline" for Portal and I'm just working on the bonus mission modes and I'll be done with Half-Life 2 fairly soon (on my way to Nova Prospect). After that, I'll move on to Half-Life 2: Episode 1 and Episode 2, and then, at some point I'll finish playing through Halo 3 on Heroic and Legendary. I'm a little more than halfway through Halo 3 on Heroic and while I lack faith in my skillz (yes, skillz with a "z"), Emry says that, in certain areas, I'm better than him and should at least try. So I shall.
  • Reading The Stand by Stephen King at school. I started it in September and I am at about page 600 of 1200. I figure I'll have it done within the next month or so.
  • Writing, as of yesterday. If I keep up this "good feeling" I've got about the writing, I might actually finish Inure (fanfiction I've been writing on and off for the past two years now). And if I do, I hope there's some cake* for me or something.
  • Planning on participating in NaNoWriMo, although I'll undoubtedly fail, just like last year. However, I have more hope for this year, as the story I'm planning on writing is one that I'm really fond of at the moment and am extremely eager to write, but I know that, rather than start it now, it'd be better saved as this year's NaNoWriMo project.

    Not much else. *shrug* Life's pretty boring and about the only things I've got to look forward to (or at least in one case) are my dentist appointment in November (yay cavities! /sarcasm) and Emry and I's one-year anniversary (December 15). And speaking of which, I should probably ask him at some point what we plan on doing, if anything. We might just decide to try and have a quiet evening alone together.

    Well, back to writing.

    *Reference to Portal. GLaDOS, the AI speaking to you throughout the entirement of the game, is constantly promising cake should the character make it through all of the tests alive.
    But there's no sense crying over every mistake
    You just keep on trying until you run out of cake
