Life is a Highway is a good song, but I much prefer Radar Love for a driving song. Plus, you know, a whole medley of songs to sing along to very badly.
I think Calvsie enjoyed himself. I'm just hoping I didn't break my new boyfriend with that size 4 dress and fishnets. AND THAT IS *NOT* THE ONLY TIME YOU'VE SEEN ME WEAR A DRESS!!!
Psychotic Garden Gnomes was very appropriate for that ending. ^_^
I'm pretty sure that they were using new WoD rules. I've dropped out of the LARP since, but they've either switched entirely or they're using a combination.
Oh, and Trae? We have the newspaper clipping about a strange group all dressed in black taking orders about killing people from another man dressed in black. ^_^ It's posted to our fridge.
At least you have internet. I'm stuck using campus computers until the Zombie House figures out some sort of wireless situation. Which won't happen until most of the members of Zombie House actually get their butts out of the old house.
There is a positive to writing fanfiction: practice.
Don't get me wrong--I stopped writing fanfiction for exactly the reasons you listed above, Trae. But the novel-length piece of fanfiction that I wrote from my freshman year of high school until my junior of high school is somethng I'm proud of because I finally had accomplished something with a cohesive plot and decent characters. Never mind that I was borrowing Rowling's HP world and my best friend's original characters (since I wrote the damn thing, it's my characterizations!) the point is that I finally grasped the concept of plot. Unlike the 300 original rambling soap-opera pages that I wrote in middle school. Or the original yet cliche-filled pages I wrote before that. Now I'm fairly confident about creating a cohesive original world with characters, setting and plot. But trying write an original piece in a fantasy-universe of my own design...it was like trying to drive stick-shift before getting used to the gas being on the right and the gas on the left in an automatic. Fanfiction helped that transition.
