So, there's this proposed bill that will put all species not native to the area it rules over...out. Pets, like my leopard geckos, my friend's hamsters, others' birds, snakes... Everything, really, minus cats, dogs, humans, and native species. It treats everything like "guilty until proven innocent." How? This won't ban ALL animals. There's a "black list." Those on it are banned, and to get off it, scientists must extensively (expensive and time-consuming) research the environmental impact of said species. How brilliant.

So, since I'd like to keep my beautiful (and harmless) lizards, as well as have all of you keep your loves, and everyone else keep theirs, too...I'd very much like to push this stupid little idea back on its ass. As soon as possible.

Pardon me if the summary leaves out a few parts. Just google "H.R.669," and you'll find it in more detail. I just wanted to get it out here, since I hadn't heard about it until today.

I'd like to keep the wonder of the world in plain view, not just on google images. There's more to the world than just what's around you, and what's the matter if someone wants a pet parrot to see that? If they love it and take care of it as their own, and it doesn't kill people or anything else on a mass scale, what's wrong with it?

At 3:07 in the morning, I finished writing the novel I'd started November sixth, 2008 for NaNoWriMo.

I've still got to edit it. For the moment it's 60,303 words long. After editing it will probably be longer, and will then be proofread and critiqued by and . I'm hoping to have editing done tomorrow. After it's edited based on their critique, those people who are friends of mine that I trust not to do things with it I wouldn't approve of, and who I know as people (the only way I know what they're likely to do, duh) will be able to read it. After them, I'll do any last touches they point out if I miss a comma here of there, stuff like that. Then I hope to buy pretty book paper and print out a couple copies, and have them professionally bound to be pretty little books. Just because I can.

I promised I'd have it done by the end of spring break. I've got several days left, but she won't mind me being ahead of schedule. She told me I had to write at least five pages today while she was at college. I close this time of writing having written eight pages and finished before I thought I would.

I'm proud of myself. Perhaps this will seem dorkish later today after I've slept, but I'm glad I started and finished something, even though it took me this long to do.

Well, I'm not finished yet, but I will. If I know anything, it's that I'll finish or die trying. (My ghost will come back and finish.)

I'm going to go sleep now. I'm fuckin' tired.

EDIT, YO:

So I finished editing it...uh, let's see. April thirteenth. That morning, at 12:10ish PM. It's 60,460 words. And I've got a couple paragraphs of information left to add, too.

And now it's being proofread. And it's gonna take a while. A secondhand editing's also gonna take a while. Yaaaay!

But the good news is I have a group of projects I'll for it in the meantime to keep me distracted! Yaaaaaaay!

Anyway, I have ear infections in both ears. Is kinda icky. Don't hurt too bad, but I'm coughing like a madwoman.

Oh, right. I'm going to find a way to read Twilight soon so I can have referenced reasoning in my beliefs of its poor writing, not just intuition from what bits I've heard about. Stephen King could not have summed up the series and Stephie-poo better, in my opinion. Wish me luck with that.

So I have little else to say. Working on novel and arty things, as usual. Almost done with high school now. Appointment with college counselor on April 11th.

Friend's birthday on March 29th. 8B

That was a disgusting sneeze I just did. I think I want to go be an American and watch TV. I say this to make fun of the stereotype. Americans do more than be fat lards and watch TV, I promise.

I'm a deviant of three years now. More like two and a half since I had forgotten this place so much as existed after getting an account to read a comic. Har. I feel like I'm rambling. Perhaps I am.

Something something something. I can't remember heads or tails of what the point of this was.

Edit 3-27-09: It was a cold disguised as *Sneeze.* ear infections. Eeks.

I woke up with the "Crocodile Rock" in my head yesterday. It was a good day.

For those stalkers that I have who read whatever summary on a recent deviation I submitted that said my art teacher lost my amazing drawing, he found it. I got it back last week on Thursday. I was pleased. I'll be uploading larger shit eventually. It and a few other things are too big to fit conveniently on my scanner, so I have to get my lazy ass to take pictures of them and all that jazz.

So as people with half a brain or more (even less, probably!) can tell, I'm uploading more shit lately. Why? Because I was behind for about half a year and decided I don't want to be there again soon. So I'm keeping up to date ish. Speaking of which, I need to get something up here.

I have a few works in progress still. No clue when those'll be done with. Art blah. At least I'm not writing that shitty emo poetry anymore. x_x Good gosh, why did I?

Video I find adorable to spam you with: [link]

Yes. Other than that, took a test to place myself in college classes. Whoo! So close to being done with government-forced school, I can taste it.

Uh. Well. I'm gonna go...do something else. I suppose.

I'm thirsty.

I'm not liking this change they've made so far. |:

Profiles look weird.

Edit of the 1-26-09, yo:

I'm okay with it now.

I have to go make a website on google for my art class.

FFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Stupidity is their answer. DF:Hsd/nlhrknhewkn4.

Fucking jiggle. GIGGLEJIGGLE. I've been in a weird mood for several days. Whoo-hoo! Something is coming!
