Snails On My Wall
Aug. 30th, 2006 10:16 amIt's a poster, don't worry.
First two classes of the semester today: German and Persuasive Argument. German is allllll German and we have to write essays.
*shoots self*
Persuasive Argument on the other hand looks better than I thought it would. The teacher is nice and cool, and...I mean, the class is pretty much gonna teach you how to conduct convincing arguments. Which I need.
Did I mention my new fish? The betta? His name is Calypso. Tango, Calypso, it only made sense.
Not much has happened, but I've been busy running around, buying books, necessities, going to floor meetings and other stuff.
It's really cool being neighbors with Molly and Kate. It's like we're practically in the same room just separated by a wall.
I am writing the fifth chapter, and I will finish it today if it kills me, and get it posted.
Oh, and Julie and I are planning something for NaNoWriMo, which I've never done and want to do this year. We're going to cowrite a story with our "semi-real-world" characters--mine being Fox and Mike, and hers being Damien and Shelly from a NYC-set story series. We were getting all excited talking about it last night, and so far it's going to involve a disappeared guy researching some tablet in a hitherto unknown Mayan/Inca dialect that will also involve the legendary Incan city of Paititi. Damien's a private investigator, Fox is a treasure hunter...it works! *nee-hee-hee*
Haven't had much time to even think about stuff aside from the aforementioned, although scenes from Angels involving this one character keep running through my head. I think I'll try to get names for them today. I have Ilena, the MC, and the bouncy Is, and three others to name. There's a Japanese-American guy, and I'm wafting between several Japanese names and a few American names. The other two are straight-up American--there's the adorable nice-guy who makes people laugh and the rebellious guy with the medical problem who steals cars and is also the techie for the group.
Also thinking again about Mot and things that are going to happen down the line. I want to get back into it, because this is what happened a few months ago, when I stopped dead and didn't write anything for ages.
But the fic takes presedence for now.
Although at this point schoolwork and finding a job should take presedence, but oh well. Y'all know me.
Hm. What do you think in terms of Japanese names? My guy is the quiet, bookish type. His wings (cause everyone has wings) are black, which of course is considered unlucky, so I thought his name should convey the...let's say estrangement between him and his relatively traditional family. The tension between those with wings and those without wings feeds into it, of course.
Karasu, Karasuko (crow/raven, crow child)? Sainan (disaster)? Ayamari (mistake? Like I said...estrangement)? Or just stick with something simple, like Kuro (black)? I can't find the Japanese word for "blackbird." I'm sure it's just Karasu, as well.
