Because I'm the queen of procrastination...

Instead of writing something new, I've started the long, arduous task of re-creating Dirty Trousers into something original... first step is changing character names and Americanizing their speech, which is actually much much harder than it sounds... I've found that my flow, word choice, etc... sounds weird with more American-ish dialogue, so I have to unformalize a lot more than I thought I would.

I'm only on page 70. 160 more to go!

And then I can start making certain parts fleshier and then I can also cut stuff out, which always kills me. Ah, well.

Okay, so I'm Pirate Booty's maid of honor... I have less than a month to write a toast. GAH! For all my writing capabilities, I suck at writing out my true feelings. Plus, it's not like I'm going to be able to get through it. I'm gonna start bawling five words in, I just know it.

AND! Get this... her fiance wants us to walk down the aisle to BRITNEY SPEARS! *laughs hysterically* Oh, K. You are so never going to live this down. (and yeah, we're doing it. Tho it's a harp version and thankfully Britney will not be singing *giggles*)

Does anyone know how to get peanut butter AND jelly out of a keyboard? J dropped a glob right by the space bar... it's getting sticky, and I have no clue how to get it out.

I don't know if you've heard of S Club 7 or S Club Juniors, but I was conned into going to one of their concerts once. Absolute nightmare. I mean REALLY bad. Thousands of screaming pre-teens....what more do I have to say? It took me years to recover my street-cred after that one!

Anyhow, I'm SO SO SO glad you're carrying DT on as normal.

Oh god... I have to confess that in moments of weakness I watched S Club 7 in Miami. I don't know why. It was possibly the worst show on television... and I didn't even know who any of the characters were!

I seriously believe that you're better off not knowing who they are. Because, to be totally fair, they are the worst thing the UK has ever contributed to the music scene. Really, really awful. Perhaps with an exception to the Fast Food Rockers, who sang about all the places little kids could go to get their daily dosage of cholesterol and additives.

Fast. Food. Rockers.

Not even gonna ask.
