Nanowrimo

Well, tomorrow's November. A lot of you are probably happy. One month closer to the holidays. Some might be sad, lots of snow coming. Me? Freaking out. I'm about to give up my social life for a whole month, what are your plans?
Some of you might've heard of it, or not unless you have a friend who just dragged you into it this summer (like me). Nanowrimo...Na(tional) No(vermber) Wr(iting) Mo(nth). Prounced Naahh no! wri (as in write..wri...not ree) mo (not moo). Nanowrimo is where you try to write a 50k novel in exactly one month --start's at midnight (tonight..or tomorrow...whatever) and ends the 30th at 11:59 pm.
Anyways, my friend who dragged me into this and I are going to try to finish our wages. Which include eating dog food, no Facebook for a week (TORTURE), ect. Stuff to make us WANT to finish our goal.
But frankly, I'm freaking out. To achieve 50,000 words in 30 days...you have to write 1666.6666666667 words a day. Yeah...this summer I tried writing 1,000 a day and got bored. And my story line's not all the way done, either. I mean, I have the basics. But not characters, their names, appearance, or if I'm adding prologues/epilogues and HOW I'm going to start it. Gah. I dragged my cousin into it after my friend got me to agree (we're all writers) so I won't be the ONLY big anti-social caterpillar. (yep, creative huh? Social little butterfly...cheesy I know.)
Any other fellow Nano's? If so, comment and give my tips. This is my first year. AH!
There's something called Script Frenzy in April too, which is the same organization but you write a 100 page script in the month of April. I'm thinking (if my novel turns out alright) to turn that into a script. Then, out of the scripts done in our little group of writing buddies) we can choose one to make a small movie about. Yeah. We're nerds.
Anyways, I better get started on preparing for it. *sigh* I'm freaking out, if I haven't meantioned. See you on the other side! (hopefully)

P.S.- I'll probably get distracted and write frustrated blogs on here. Or I'll try to stay away for the whole month. So either way....later!
P.P.S.-Just realized I put Mo(uth) instead of Mo(nth) ...that's embarrassing.
P.P.P.S.-Wow I was freaking out to much. Forgot to mention HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I've grown out of trick or treating, but I'll dress up! Our school didn't let us dress up !! For the first time ever! D: OUTRAGE!

Cheetos-A pressing matter

Cheetos. One of America's favorite snack. We all enjoy eating them and licking the cheese off our fingers when we're done. We all love to sit and look at Chester Cheetah while we munch on these tasty snacks. But what are these things we call CHEETOS? *holds up bag dramatically*
There's a debate over  cheetos that started with my friends and I a couple of years ago, end of 6th grade. And has just recently been revisited. (One of my friends has extremely good memory and thinks of the randomness things that none of us even remember---yet she'll forgot simple stuff. Psh.) 
So, what is this pressing matter you may ask?
CHEETOS-
Chips or puffs?
Yes, I can practically hear you laughing at the moment.  A lot of you are thinking puffs I bet. Because, frankly they are.
The regular ones.




(This is off topic, but one picture was a girl in a bathtub of cheetos. DUDE I WANNA DO THAT! :D)
But, what would you call these puppies?
 Are they...
a) puffs
b) chips
c) unidentified snack object
d) I honestly don't give a crap.
If you picked d, or e (which in your mind is probably "Is this person okay??") it does matter!

Okay?
They're foudn by chips, but ARE they chips? Or shoudl the governemtn make a whole new catergory for them...
Crunches.
Yep.
*sigh*
I am NOT going to do this for a persuasive speech. No way. People'll think I'm crazy.
If you want another opinion...here's my friends. We were the ones debating. I thought they were chips, she thought they were puffs. Now I agree regular ones are puffs, but what about the crunchy ones?
We actually gave our 6th grade science teacher a list of reasons supporting both sides. Ah, I wonder if she still has it.
Oh goodness. /)_-
