I'm probably crazy for doing this National Novel Writing Month thing, but I'm doing it anyway. I've actually finished three novels in the past 10 years but I've been too scared to show them to anyone. Afraid of criticism I guess. Maybe NaNoWriMo is the push I need. Anyway, I have to write a 50,000 word novel by Nov. 30. So far I have 1,485 words. Not bad for a couple hours' work.

I promised Nick (aka The Water Nazi) that I wouldn't stay online very long or push myself today. That's the least I can do for him since I didn't even feel well enough to bake him a birthday cake yesterday. But he'll get a belated one soon.
Before I go back to the couch (or bed, depending on how I feel) I have to post something fun. I saw this a couple years ago and I forget about it until someone reminds me about it every few months.

I haven't been online much the last few days, and I'm not going to be here long today. But I couldn't come here and not take a quiz.
Today, I discovered my Peanuts personality.
Apparently I'm Linus. Here's why:
When you're not philosophizing about the Great Pumpkin or the meaning of Christmas, you're cozying up to your friends, just like the L-man cozies up to his blanket. Linus is a deliberate dude, who believes that almost anything is possible. You probably like to think things through as well�we think that you and Linus would have lots to talk about! You're a fan of stability and familiarity, and find security in your oldest friends. You'll even share that blue blanket with your closest ones!
Back to napping and drinking lots of fluids.
