docjazz said:i see nothing wrong at all with your spending habits *goes back to her own life filled with copious amounts of zero dollars due to poor money planning* but an art history course? that sounds pretty interesting. when do you think you’ll take it?

Poor money planning is my problem as well, but I like to tell people it's because of the economy. It's all Obama's fault.

I'm hoping to take it soon. Maybe next semester. I'm trying to make myself focus on studying one thing. I want to study art and writing, but I also considered library sciences and going to dog grooming school. Where I expect all the money to come from for all this, I have no idea. I hope I can still get financial aid, because I'm not pretty enough to get by on looks. Maybe I can squeeze by on my endearing charm or razor-sharp wit... : /

docjazz said:i mail multiple packages filled with heavy rocks to my own address. i calculate it so that i know the mailman will deliver it in bad weather, then i not only fail to tip him, but i steal his wallet. is this what you meant???? what have i done.

You've made a mortal enemy of your mail carrier, that's what you've done. Even as I type this, your name, address, and a candid photo of you are circulating throughout all the post offices nationwide. Prepare to have all your packages accordion'd and to be suddenly bombarded with credit card offers...and possibly awkward catalogs.

docjazz said: i also got william gibson and gertrude stein. then i just stopped. but the first one was meyer. (one of these things is not like the other, one of these things just doesn’t belong~)

I think it's perfectly acceptable to discard some results...that first one was an anomaly, and is therefore meaningless. Also, that test is full of shit, because I do not write like any of those people, even if I wanted to believe it. if it had given me Christopher Paolini, I think that would have been a little closer to accurate.

*mutters* of course, I might have a whole series of novels published too, if my mommy and daddy owned their own publishing company and took me on a nationwide tour to promote my book...

Sorry. Bitter and jealous.

docjazz said: you’re kinda right though. love comes from the brain, which is an organ. so love is from an organ, just not the cliched heart theory.

That's true...and to expand on that, I think some peoples' brains are actually located in their asses. That would explain sooo much, wouldn't it?

docjazz said: i get dibs on autographs and free copies of all your books.

Done! And then, maybe later, you can take all those extra unsold copies off my hands, too... :D

docjazz said: that sounds awesome. no, i never participated in nanowrimo; i don’t think i’d be able to. i’m as creative as a silverfish (why i can’t ever be a writer, i think), so the fact that i ever wrote a book is magical. but that claw book sounds great.

Thanks, I hope it doesn't end up sucking. :P And, I think you're waaaay more creative than any silverfish I've ever met! ;) Seriously, what about that sci-fi story you were working on before? I love that one. I still think about it sometimes, too; I think it'd be such a great full-length novel. Did you ever find an agent for your book?

docjazz said: i switched writing, but it was the other way around, ha. i kept trying to write the book that was in my head for years, but ended up writing something else. what’s this new book about?

Are you doing NaNoWriMo this year, too? The book I switched to is 5 Claw (I'll worry about that title later...) the same one I've been starting over and over again since 2007. I posted a chapter of it somewhere, but it's different now. Basically, it's about this girl who gets a job at this institution that believes all knowledge should be accessible to everyone, whether you have money or not. (not quite a college, since you can only learn things, you can get credits or a degree or even a certification in anything, and you can learn absolutely ANYTHING you choose) But if you do have money, you can hire private tutors or "Agents" to come to your house and teach you whatever you want. So there's this town where weird things happen, and all the events always surround the white mansion (Elysium) that sits on top of a hill overlooking the city. The occupants are a man known only as "Claw" and his servant. The servant calls up the institute to hire an Agent to teach Claw to read, and the new girl is the only person who hasn't attempted the assignment yet, so they give it to her (none of the other Agents could get past the gates, for one reason or another). Then when she gets there, she's allowed in and basically all this crazy shit goes down (I'm not even sure I could summarize anything past this point, but that's pretty accurate)

I'm pretty excited to get to the "crazy shit" part. Almost there... :)

He really loves milk though. I think he was worried about the terrible dilemma this posed. :P
