I meant to write last night, not write in here, but write in general-- but the heat is kind of sucking the energy out of me. Furthermore, lately, all my writing is crap. This is partly because all I feel like writing are love scenes. Seriously, that's all I've felt like doing the entire month. I got my period on Wednesday, so I think we all know why this trend has been occuring. :D I'm hoping with some normal hormonal balance I can write something other than love scenes... aaaand subsequently stop looking at every guy in terms of babymaking abilities. And to think, how guys feel ALL the time. Don't know how they go through the day without rubbing up against things. Well most of them do anyway. Props to them.
Speaking of love scenes, (well not really,) that Claudia Gray book; Evernight, that I mentioned in my last post... is killing me. It's going from okay to bad, to worse. It's a little too... girly and chiche'd, even for me. Partly it's because the protagonist isn't easy to identify with.... unless you're a 17 year old girl. But, you know even when I was ... well I hope I wasn't like that. The protagonist meets the love interest once, and already wants to have his babies. Alright, I'll accept that. After all, he is a hot vampire-- (shhh! the dumb 17 year olds aren't have supposed to cotton on to that fact yet), AND he was nice to her. Once. When they were alone... but when he sees her in a crowd, he's cold and distant. Which she agnoizes over. For an entire chapter. Which of course means instant love! When a guy is cute and nice to you-- once-- all bets are off. I mean, he's the one, obviously. So that's what I've been doing wrong. Must wait for the cute (realtively) nice guys and stop dating the ugly mean ones like I've been doing all this time. Chuh! But not too nice. You need a bit of aloofness in there to put you back in your place.
However, must get on this vampire bandwagon. Must use my overcharged hormones to write some female-delusion fiction about beautiful guys unable to tan. The recent vampire trend has got me thinking. Why are all vampires hot? Beautiful, graceful, elegant.... this goes for males and females. I know it's fiction, but still. I mean, no vampire has gotten drunk and bitten that one guy? You know that guy. The ordinary guy. The guy who works at the DMV. The leery one who picks at his wedgie when he thinks no one is looking. Bad combover guy. He's the kind of guy looks almost decent when you have three bacardi breezers in you, and even better if you add two midoris and lemonade. Wouldn't an 'ugly vampire' story be awesome? Your face says no but your heart is saying yes.
There is some person screaming 'WOO!' outside for absolutely no reason. Oh wait, there is a reason apparently: They're a moron.
Isn't it funny how co-incidences... err... co-incide? I think they call it synchronicity. Last month we finished watching Flight of the Conchords season 2-- which is brilliant by the way and I recommend to all three of you reading. You might know it from their oft-forwarded video, 'Hurt Feelings'. It's such a funny show. Also, I feel kinda dirty saying this, but I think Jemaine is kinda cute. ♥ Must be the hormones talking.... and that gammy eye of mine. I also think Rhys Darby is such a doll. Not to worry. I'm not into Mel-like-fan territory yet. Besides, they're married and I'm Australian. So, anyway, onto co-incidences. Keep seeing the guy playing 'Dave' in FOTC (Arj Barker, a US comedian) everywhere. Flick channel on monday, there he is on TV. Furthermore, have been renting this Australian Improv show, called 'Thank God You're Here' with Quickflix, (which is the Aussie version of Netflix), and we're onto season two. Co-incidentally, last night watched a couple of episodes, and of course it was one that featured Arj Barker. Now I think this was over three years ago, so it's not a recent thing. It's just something we happened to watch him in round about the same time we watched all his other stuff. Oh he was hilarious by the way, I mean I had heard of Arj previous to FOTC, through his cartoon and some old Aussie standup show I'm sure I saw him on once, but I never really noticed him properly until FOTC, and then it's weird how you start noticing someone and then seeing them everywhere suddenly. This may have something to do with the fact I didn't recognize him prior to watching FOTC, though, but still. It was the same way with Russel Brand; watched St. Trinians and then noticed him everywhere suddenly.
Oh yeah, my subject.... my username. I love this username. Yes, it's pronounced Dunny. Yes, in Australian slang, Dunny means toilet. But, that's not why I chose it. It's a cutified version of my real name that my brother used to call me. It's just a bonus it also means toilet. However, I don't get called that anymore. Jay calls me 'Dimes' now, and if it sounds like the nickname of a girly basketball player, it's probably because it is. -- It was the nickname of my player from EA's NBA 2004 on PS2. When you play that, you can set a nickname for your player that the commentator will actually say. I had two players, 'Showstopper' and 'Dimes' and 'Dimes' was an effeminate male with a pink headband meant to represent me. Jay had a guy with rainbow legwarmers called ... I forget, actually. Must ask him.
Must sleep. I have work tomorrow. Grumble grumble, etc.
