mmmbrrr....
it's a bit nippy outside, very refreshing. ^/__^ writing to you from my friendly campus library, having finished my mock-up (finally) and left studio at 1am. oh joyous day!!!- confetti all around. i would be back in taub, but i have homework to do. math homework; algebra homework. yes, yes, it takes maybe twenty minutes to do, but that doesn't mean i don't have to do it. *pouts* but i WANT to be back in taub, typing away on theblackdeath for nanowrimo. i have half of today'syesterday's wordcount pounded out, and the rudiments of a plot. *sigh* sadly, i saved it on the teeny weeny hard drive of theblackdeath, so it's not a portable nanowrimo story- yet; i WILL fix this!!! soon everyone on campus will be able to see the gloriousness that is my nano story this year!!!!
oh, yeah, and i've decided to try spelling my name differently (with an 'ie' instead of a 'y' at the end) b/c there are so many people who share my name and spell it the same way i do. it is SO not funny anymore when i spend an evening with another jenny, and we have to establish for everyone at the beginning of the night which one of us is going by a nickname for the next few hours. *huffs* so now i'm jennie. we'll see how long i can keep it. anyway!!!- nanowrimo.
my plot!!!! i have a PLOT! and it's fantastic. sara and kathryn helped me come up with it. i wanted to do some hist.fic. but i also am leaning towards scifi at the moment, so i'm doing a kinda twisted combination- futurefic presented as histfic, with psuedo-scifi. confused? i am! *grins* the plot is this: a few years from now, a star somewhere out in the vasty nothingness of space goes supernova, but it does the deed all slanted-like, and there's all this bad radiation coming off the supernova. the radiation starts reaching earth a little later, and at first nobody cares, but then bad stuff starts happening: increased skin cancer, genetic mutation, some bugs and stuff start dying, things like that. people start to freak out, and the solution is to dig underground and wait it out. so we do. everything and everyone left on the surface is pretty much burned away, but humanity survives with a limited ecosystem underground. after about fifty years, the atmosphere is safe again, and most places come back out, rebuild, and advance into space flight. but america has a controlling, evil gov't (b/c can't you totally see this happening?). the gov't tells everyone that the sky isn't safe yet, and keeps everyone in the underground cities, nicely controlled like a 'big brother' type society. a few people break out and live on the surface but that's it. most of the story takes place when people are starting to wonder if the gov't is actually lying to them, and they revolt and head back to the surface- to find that they're at the bottom of the totem pole, afraid of the open sky when their cousins are travelling through space. sucks for them, eh? then.... i don't know what happens next, but something will. yay!!!!! that's the plot.
alright, alright, now i really have to do my homework. then i can get back, write my 2000 words or so, and sleep a bit. so, for now, toodles!!!!
and, since it's everyone's bedtime but mine (and i have this stuck in my head....)
a song!!!! a lullabye, in fact.

anna rose, sleep well tonight
the stars are dancing on the carpet of the sky
it's time to close your wond'ring eyes
where i see the sleepiness creeping
anna rose, it makes my heart smile
to know you give love so freely
anna rose makes it worthwhile
your love makes me see things so clearly
how it grows, heaven knows, anna rose
sleep well tonight
anna rose, it's time to dream
i see that your imagination knows no bounds
there it flows like some magical stream
that carries you on its journey
anna rose, it makes my heart smile
to know you give love so freely
anna rose makes it worthwhile
your love makes me see things so clearly
how it grows, heaven knows, anna rose
dream well tonight...
sleep well, all!!!! ^/__~

Generally the nerds eithe rlaugh or assert they can't ever fall into that category. And I say there's no time like the present to start.
