Round 40, Hour 27

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

It is the three cubed hour. Which is sort of a fun one, if you like threes. Good things come in threes. Like cheap packs of socks.

What writing did you accomplish in the last hour? What will you accomplish in this one? Where did those penguins head off to?

I've spent the last 2 hours dealing with wedding admin stuff -- PMing people whose emails I don't have, emailing people whose physical addresses I don't have, and figuring out polite ways to say "Would you please tell me what your real name is?"

I'm tired of all that stuff. Time for a glass of wine.

I am trying to figure out how to write a 'most inspirational/influential person' essays for a college application because I didn't have to write one to get into university.

Wine sounds like a good reward for doing all that!

Ooh. What are the guidelines? It sounds like it could be fun.

Yikes. I'd try Googling for examples.

My college entrance essay (back in 1979) was "Write something to tell us about yourself".

I tried to join my friend's video-game match (on her invitation) and the game glitched and threw me into a close-range battle with nothing but long-range sniper gear. It wasn't fun. :-(

I don't know, I might sleep next. That was very tiring. :P

Ouch. Wedding stuff is so exhausting. Wine sounds like exactly the right thing to combat the tedium!

[http://users.livejournal.com/idlewild_/]

Haha, yes, that sounds moderately unfun.

I think that's the biggest problem of all. Because it's for a fanfic I have no idea what the guidelines are let alone what they should be.

Argh this seemed so much simpler in my head :(

We just picked up "Miss Manners' Guide to a Surprisingly Dignified Wedding", which has already become our iconoclastic treasure.

So you brought a gun to a knife fight, huh? Owie!

hehehe. I love that: 'surprisingly dignified'. It makes me think of tiny cut-crystal glasses of sherry balanced on haybales.
