the trick is to keep breathing

Okay, I haven't posted anything with substance like... at all this week. That's because my brains are a little bit dead.

This post is basically me asking for a chapstick rec. stfu. Does anybody have a nice smooth moisturizing chapstick they can recommend? Preferably (a) not sticky and (b) not so tasty I'll want to eat it off therefore making my lips more chapped?

I am such a girl.

I'm spammy today, guys, sorry.

I've been thinking about NaNoWriMo this year, as always. I'd write Beacon, like I always do, and probably make a lot of progress on it. But again, we're going on a Thanksgiving vacation, and as amazing as I am I don't think I can write the required 50,000 words in 20 days. I didn't last year, and I didn't the year before. And ILU NaNo, but I'm not giving up my vacation this year.

So I thought... why not do something different? I've been wanting to draw more, and I've been wanting to get into Beacon. So I thought, maybe I'll draw, one page of Beacon every day. Not totally FINISH like through the computer and everything, but draw in the sketchbook, one page of the comic every day. If I get behind, I'll draw two pages. At the end, I'll have a start, and I can scan them in and start working on them in Photoshop while I (hopefully) continue the story. The other benefit is that a sketchbook could come on vacation with me, technically. (I'm not sure whether I'd stick to it, but there's a chance.)

On the one hand, writing, yay! Getting back into it, getting more story down. On the other hand, drawing! Finally making myself draw daily to get better.

So I can't decide. And because my batch totally F-ed up and I'm cranky, I figured I'd write a poll on it. What do you guys think?

[Poll #1275003]

I was retaking the Myers-Briggs test out of curiosity, and I ran across an interesting question: Which do you prefer, justice or mercy? I find it interesting (and not only in relation to the Kushiel series, haha). Which is more important to you: that everyone in the world gets what they deserve, or that everyone in the world is treated well?

Thoughts?

edit - another one. Do you take more pride in your goals, or in your successes?

1st priority: This is still going on, guys!

Trick or Treat Meme

...at least, I'm treating it like it's still going on, because there are like 800 prompts I still want to write. I don't want to be the only one playing! That makes me LAME.

2nd: I have a huge test at 6:00 today and I have not studied much. Let's hope work stays easy today because otherwise I am le screwed.

So.

So I browsed around for more information about my fancy special digital SLR, compared it in stats to some point-n-shoots, and -

and then I found it on sale and I just bought it. Like that.

I yearn for this thing, HARD.

I.

Yeah.

So! I'm planning on doing a sort of photoblog thing, where I take a couple new serious pictures every week and let people comment on them and things I need to learn and things I did awesomely. This will guarantee that I take some photos every week, both indoor and outdoor, even if I don't go anywhere exciting. I think it'll be fun.

Ahh, tax refund, why do I treat you like free money?

ETA: OMG SO MANY USERPICS!! Total hearts @ twilightsrain. And, a new use for your tag!!

Um ... what?

No, really. Really. I mean ...WHAT?!

Did you say ... did you actually say ... you aren't allowed to publish or tell the public how old the rock in the Grand Canyon is?

And you have to sell a creationist book which states the Grand Canyon was created by Noah's Flood? Now, c'mon. That just reads like a bad fanfic.

I hate people.
