The 'more than you ever wanted to know about me' version.

I went to a party Sunday night, in an area of the state I'd never been in before. I made a wrong turn and, MD being such as it is, hit a pothole at least a foot deep -- deep enough and at a high enough speed that my bumper actually hit pavement. I remained unscathed and drove home.

Yesterday morning, I turned on the heat in my car, and there was this very disquieting whirr sound. Loud and reverberating, this sound did nothing to calm my nerves about driving a car that is not-slowly approaching its final days, but the car was running so I drove to work as normal. In the afternoon I went home early because I was feeling unwell, and called ahead to make sure my brother the car guru would be home so he could take a look at it.

He woke me up fifteen minutes after I got home out of my NyQuil-inspired nap to show me the pair of chewed-up pliers he had extracted from the region surrounding my air filter, offered a 'My bad', and went back downstairs.

...How's you?

ETA: Meeting in ten minutes, be back soon. Back!

At least you're not required to follow the prompt! My person did a, 'Well, I really want this, but I guess this would be okay, too,' and I just -- sort of dove on the second choice. >_>

[muji]

It's just...augh. Okay, here goes.

Naturally, I end up with the wacky Tim Burton movie.

... Ooh. Yeah. That'll be difficult. *very unhelpful; pats?* I'm terrified of mine mostly just because it is A) incredibly iconic, B) all historical, and C) has to be written entirely in the first person. Something based on a Burton film would be hard, though; there is that tone, sort of, to try to capture. I've seen a -- decent number of his films, so if you don't have a beta/want someone to look it over, once you have something written, I'd be happy to try to help. I figure all of us procrastinators are in this together. *cheerful*

[muji]

I'll keep that in mind, yeah. We'll see how much I write tonight. 1500 words really isn't that freaking long, after all.

[wakeupnew]

-- OMG it's due tomorrow, isn't it? For some reason, I got totally convinced that it was today! OH THANK GOD.

[muji]

It's due the 20th I thought.

[wakeupnew]

Unfortunately, nope. 11:59 P.M. on the 19th.

[muji]

Crap. At least I know now?

[wakeupnew]

*hugs* You can do it. You can so do it. 1500 words isn't so bad!

[muji]

Word.

I hope.
