1. Lying about how much time is spent online.
2. General decrease of physical activity and social life.
3. Neglecting obligations at home, work, or school to spend time online.

7. Disregarding the emotional or physical consequences of being in front of a computer all day.
8. Denial of the problem.

I can say all of those symptoms are true for me, excepting #4! (I spend too much on DVDs instead!) =P

NaNoWriMo Update

I'm only up to about 2000 words on NaNoWriMo. It's mostly because I've been focusing on getting my last 2 assignments finished for English and Ancient History. (Or in the case of the latter, avoiding doing it!)

I wrote most of the 2000 words that I've got done on Day 1. I added in some description on Day 2. I didn't get a chance to write anything on Day 3, 4 or 5 (don't know why!) and I was stuck for ideas a little around then anyway. I've finally got myself a plan written up though and I know pretty well where it's headed. And I only have to go to school on Monday and Thursday this week for exams and then the week after that and I'm free for the rest of the month!

Here's a general idea of what it's about:

Untitled = (need to come up with a title soon!)

Megan Hart receives a phone call from the mortuary, asking her to come down to ID the body of her sister, Jayne. When she gets there, the body appears to be her sister, but Megan notices some magickal symbols marking the body and also Jayne's 'signature'. Believing that her sister is, in actual fact, alive, Megan sets on a mission to find out what happened to her. Will she find Jayne? And what truths will she uncover?

Okay, so that's all you're getting for now! I'll be posting what I end up with at the end of the month, maybe a few spoiler-y type posts here and there. I guess I should go write some more now! Or...maybe sleep...

The Letter 'R'

Taken from odakota_rose. (Yes, this time I didn't steal! I asked for it!) =P

THE LETTER R

1. River = both the River from Firefly and the real thing with the watery stuff
2. Rose McGowan = Paige is awesome! =D
3. Rocks = hey! I like them! Don't ask why! Nah, they're good for throwing at cats. Or so my Biology teacher says.
4. Red cordial = o_O
5. Reavers = that are dead
6. Rope
7. 'Realistic' characterisation in fanfics
8. Randomness = who doesn't love that!?!
9. Ripped jeans = I have a pair of jeans with these small rip marks through the legs of 'em (they were made that way)
10. Red hair??? = yes, as you can probably tell I'm out of good ideas. And Scully's hair is reddish, so that's my last one. Yup. Red hair. =P


Comment and I'll give you a letter; then you have to list 10 things you love that begin with that letter. After, post this in your journal, and give out some letters of your own.

#001 Destroy (Bones)

I did something extremely stupid the other day. Yes, I put my name down at ficlets100 for another claim: Temperance Brennan (Bones). So stupid! Anyway, this is the first step into the madness. Hope you like! And be warned. Insanity is catching!

Title: Destroy
Fandom: Bones
Characters: Booth, Angela, with mentions of Brennan
Prompt: #001 Destroy
Word Count: 100
Notes: Written for ficlets100

“You’ll destroy her, Booth,” Angela stated informatively. “She’s worked so hard to get where she is and if you do anything, and I mean anything, to compromise that, she’ll break. If you hurt her…you’ll have me to answer to!”

She glared at the FBI agent, hoping that her serious demeanour would get under his skin and convince him to do what was right. Which in this case, was to tell Brennan the truth. He needed to let her know exactly what was on his mind. Soon.

Sighing in frustration, Booth offered Angela an equally intense glare. “Fine! I’ll tell her!”

#002 Dealing (Bones)

Title: Dealing

Characters: Brennan
Prompt: #002 Cry
Word Count: 100
Notes: Written for ficlets100

Temperance Brennan never cried. It was an irrational process that she could find no meaning to and she just couldn’t see the point.

Sure, she was subject to human emotion, but she preferred to deal with it in her own way. In the case of pain, her way was not to cry. She’d bury the hurt and the frustration as far down as she could and would focus instead on her work and academic pursuits.

It was much more productive and meaningful.

She couldn’t recall a single time she’d cried. She didn’t care to remember, either. That was her way.
