I'm ridiculously overprotective of my Yoko Kanno CDs, so I spent most of yesterday going through all of them, ripping them to my computer, and burning them so I can return the originals to their jewel cases. I literally did this from 11 AM to 5 PM, and now I'm doing it even more. XD This...is going to take a while. It's been surprisingly fun, though, because it's helping me discover tracks I had forgotten about, and if the original CD has scratches (T_T NOOOO ARJUNA CD WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE SCRATCHES?) it somehow seems to fix that while ripping it. So my CDs will be back to being skip-less.

Also, I won't have to worry about them being stolen, scratched, etc., because I can always just burn another copy. :D

Also, my friends and I had our NaNoWriMo write-in at Mekka last night! I had so much fun. We were there for more than four hours, and it just flew by. It consisted of myself, Aubrey, Ellery, Shannon, and Shannon's older sister (whose name escapes me at the moment). We had a blast writing, talking about NaNoWriMo is affecting our mind, reading random lines from our stories and then horribly misinterpreting them out of context, and overall just having an excellent time. :D It went so well! I think we all felt better about our novels by the time we left Mekka.

I'm at 18K, by the way (and I'll be at 20K by tonight!), and it's going fabulously. I think Crow is starting his mental breakdown faster than I thought, and Magpie is already beginning to have weird hallucinations of birds talking to him.

Oh man, I walked down to Mekka from Dad's house (it's about a mile down the hill), and it was an interesting walk. There are parts of the road where there's really nowhere to walk, so I was so worried I was going to get run over. Plus, it was dark out, so I had this huge Maglight I was using so I could see ahead of me. As I was nearing downtown, I started singing to myself a little--and when I looked across the road, for a split second I thought I saw my main character. O_o; I snapped out of it within less than a second, but still, for a moment there I was like "OH SHI-" and then I was like, "Oh...wait. Uh, I'm losing it." The person was dressed similarly to my main character, though, and they had a similar build, too. I'm not sure if it was actually a man or a woman, though. XD

And that, my friends, is how NaNoWriMo is affecting my mind. ^^;;

Anyway, just ripping and burning more Yoko Kanno. That's all for now!

I WANT MORE DENNOU COIL. ;_; I have a feeling my Haraken icon is going to be ridiculously overused because...Haraken! ♥

Question... do you know why my Word file wordcount and the NaNo word-count validator say different numbers? The NaNo site insists I'm about 200 words under >:o

I think the word processors count some symbols/non-words as words. Which is aggravating, yes. D:
