I think my family finally understands how weird I am. I got into a discussion of the basics from my Baby Reaper story with my dad and my sister... I'm pretty sure they came away from that encounter wondering where the hell I'd come from and how I'd ended up in our family.

I'm actually working on Baby Reaper today. Cassie's going into a meeting with Death. It's gonna be interesting, lol. I hope to move on from that to an encounter with Cassie's boyfriend that results in his death, which should be fun, and give me a chance to bring out Nelson's obsession with the Godfather. If I get that far today, I'll be very happy.

I found another picture of a Reaper with a bunny. I wonder if this is a recurring theme, or if it's just a coincidence? Hmm.

My dogs are being heathens. Oliver is chasing Princess around and worrying her to death, and she just turns around and snaps at him every now and then. Ridiculous.

I have two due Monday and Tuesday - one on Browning's "My Last Duchess" and one on Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm going to finish the Browning paper today before lunch - I'm set on doing that. The Borderline paper could probably wait until tomorrow. With that and the stories, I feel like I'm drowning in paper.

Had a meeting with Kevin this past week to talk about "Gnomes." He liked it, but he pointed out some things I'd done that I shouldn't have or that I should've done but didn't. It's going to be a pretty long story when I'm done revising it - maybe thirty or thirty-five pages, double-spaced. I'm also supposed to be working on the Baby Reaper story, to finish it. Or at least get close. He says he expects about fifty pages of writing by the end of the semester (on both stories combined). Well, I've already got that, so now it's just a matter of finishing and polishing. I'll have more time to do that after these papers, and maybe I can even squeeze out some time during Thanksgiving Break.

I am so looking forward to Thanksgiving... It feels like forever since I've been home, and I miss everybody so much. My grandfather's 70th birthday is next week, but I'm going to miss the party since I don't get to go home till the Tuesday after that. Sad :(

I went and saw Threepenny Opera last night. It was a pretty good show - the set was amazing, the costumes were cool. Acting and singing was good. I was a little disappointed at the ending - it was a little too Gilbert and Sullivan for the type of show it was attached to. Also, Sam, who played Crookfinger Jake, was creepy. The cast interacted with the audience a lot, and at one point he came and stood right in front of me, stole my program, and stared at me for like five minutes. The best part was, he never broke character, never smiled. He started laughing a bit when he had to sing, but I was impressed, and amused.

Well, I'm done with breakfast, so now I must start writing.

So it's been a while. I kind of forgot I had a blog in the craziness that happened last week - namely a psych test, plus other random class stuff and friend stuff and general stuff stuff.

I was supposed to go to Knoxville today, but I have a cold and other random illnesses. And my eye was mostly swollen shut when I woke up this morning, so I figured driving was sort of out of the question for me today. It's since gone down a bit, so I can open it enough to function. I wonder if it's pinkeye... though my eye isn't pink, so I don't know. Mom said it could be pinkeye anyway. I hope it's not, because that's just annoying.

The trees at Sewanee are GORGEOUS. They're all red and yellow. And one little bush is hot pink. It's kind of fun, haha.

The picture isn't one of mine - I found it on some random website and played with the coloring a little, as I'm prone to do. But it is one of my favorite spots on campus - Guerry Garth, a random little area with a stage. It's fun!
