WIPs

In an effort to continue my procrastination from writing, I thought I'd do the WIP meme again because it's one of my favorites. Though I clearly I have issue with this single sentence rule - sue me.

Post a single sentence from each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations. No more than one sentence!


001. "Thank you for that astute observation Mr. Turpin." Eames didn't let himself look the Captain in the eye, didn't dare too as the idea of just what could be done to him now started to fill his mind. "However, the question was meant for the boy."

002. He is in so far over his head at this point that Alex doesn't know what he is going to do, it's all gonna come to a breaking point eventually and he's not sure they'll survive the fall out. Scott's a pretty understanding sort of guy, but lines like you're like my own personal brand of heroin weren't exactly something you just let go, unless you were some doe eyed teenager, and even then only the weird ones were okay with that.


003. So the thing is, when you're a man if you dress a certain way people start to get ideas about you. If you take pride in your appearance, if you wear suits that fit you to a T, if you happen to wear a fedora most days of the week and a waist coat, suddenly the whole world thinks you suck dick.


004. It isn't just his brother who has died, it's Arthur's fucking twin. Eames is wholly unprepared for this, for the pictures around the house, seeing the man who could have been Arthur, though he smiles far more than Arthur ever lets himself. At least as far as Eames has ever seen.

005. He's all the way on the other side of the bar, too far for Jensen to really stare the way he wants to, but he sees details - the line of his throat, the curl of his lips against the rim of glass raised briefly for a drink, and those eyes - he's really not close enough to see them properly, but god does he want to.

Yes and no.

Online is an interesting sort of thing, because you have so much anonymity so it's easy to be something you're not. When I was younger, when we first got the internet, I was in middle school - we got our first computer when I was in like 5th grade, and then I was in middle school when we got the internet - I used to pretend to be someone else, someone older.

Slowly I grew out of the need to pretend to be someone I'm not online.

I found diaryland, it was the first online journal sort of place I'd ever found and I was able to be myself, to write about things that actually happened in my every day life. And then I found livejournal, even more anonymous than diaryland since none of my friends used it - and I could be even more open about myself.

These days, the person I present here in my livejournal, is very much me - I don't lie about my age, or the things I do - I'd probably be a whole lot more interesting if I did, but I'm not quite the person I am in real life either. With all the anonymity that being online provides, I'm able to be more open about myself, the things I want, and the things I do than I would be in my real life - I don't worry about what people think, because everyone who reads my journal lives on the internet, it's very unlikely that I'll meet most of the people I talk with through livejournal in real life, with a few exceptions of course.

So I don't have to worry about what any of you might think of me, for the things I think and feel and do and am, the way I do with the people in my real life.

It's a nice feeling not to have to worry about people telling you you'll go to hell, not to have to worry about people threatening to kick you out of the house, or telling you how wrong you are the way I would if I were as open in my real life as I am here.

So my answer is yes and no.

I would discuss and write about my own Literary Theory ideas. And people would think I was freaking amazing for all the insight I have - because I have a heck of a lot.

Gah I am sleepy. It's almost 3. Why am I not in bed? DDD:

Got paid today, for another job that I wouldn't mind being my real job. A few weeks ago a friend of my mom's asked me to look at her website and just check for spelling and grammar and make a few suggestions for how she could improve it. So I did, it took me all of maybe 25 minutes to look it over and type up an email to her about what she could fix, and I got paid 50 bucks.

I could be down with a job where I make $50/25 min.

But seeing as I got paid, I bought some new books, since I don't have enough already. I just wanted something new and different. So I ended up with Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman and Perfume: The Story of a Murderer by Patrick Süskind. I have heard really great things about both so I am looking forward to reading them.

You know I think I am going to start keeping track of all the books I read this year. Maybe movies too, we'll see how ambitious I really am.

So far this year I've read: Snow Crash, Fairy Tales, I started a Barak Obama Biography and got like 2 chapters in before I decided it was a kids books XD (The line 'Many of you reading this work have only known one person in your lifetime to have held the position of president of the United States of America.' kind of gave it away), and I might have reread Twilight *cough*. And right now I am working on Sputnik Sweetheart, A Ship Made of Paper, and Catch 22.

Movies: Let the Right One In, Defiance, Strictly Sexual, The Secret Life of Bees, Repo: The Genetic Opera, Shelter, Choke, and Towelhead.

Yep. Maybe I'll review them, just for my later viewing needs. Or not. Who knows.

Also new icon, the end.

When it comes to others, my friends, my family - I am a complete optimist. I only want the best for them and their persuits in life. And of course they're going to succeed, because they wouldn't be my friends and family if they weren't awesome and awesome people succeed.

When it comes to myself, I am on the line between pessimism and realism. Sometimes I fall into one area or the other more fully, I'm on the line most of the time. I know most of the time that I'm not a complete failure and I know that eventually I can do the things I set out to do - but dang it sure is easy to get pessimistic on myself and see all the places I've fallen behind and messed up and failed and just ... bleh.

I prefer the optimistic me.

Saw this on my flist tonight and wanted to answer it myself.

Goodness I need to go to bed, it's almost 5am! I guess I am making up for going to bed before midnight last night. Sheesh, there would be more substance to this post but alas, it is too late for substance.
