My novel

I'm going to write a novel.  It's going to be a retelling of "Twilight," but instead of someone from the south moving to the northwest, I'm going to have someone from the northwest moving to the south.  Because, y'know, I'm from the south. 

Instead of sparkling in the sun, though, my vampires are going to smoke. I don't mean literally smoke some Marlboro's, but that would probably be a good idea too because in order to be a bad boy you've got to actually do something bad. 

Another notable difference will also be that, whereas the characters in "Twilight" have all this sexual tension while nevertheless remaining pristinely abstinent, my characters are going to have all of this sexual tension while nevertheless remaining pristinely absent despite and perhaps even because of vivid imaginings of sexual encounters that will go on for pages at a time.

I'm going to have J edit it for "segmantic and pramatics," someone like Fletcher edit it for thematic consistency, and girls like Mindy & A edit it for sheer feminine appeal. 

I just realized that jokes like the one above are probably why J gets pissed off at my jokes sometimes; it probably seems like I'm undermining his endeavors.

I'm writing so much these days, creatively, that is, but unfortunately I'm not doing as much work on my BA as I should be.  Yesterday we went to the Pub for my BA Seminar but I was so annoyed, if I wanted to drink in my spare time, I certainly wouldn't drink with you. 

I might be crazy but I think that the beautiful girl in my Introduction to Poetry class was staring back at me today.  Maybe I've got a shot. I met a gay girl at E's party the other day; I know that she was gay because of her conversation.  But I wondered as soon as she was talking about some flighty ex-girlfriend of hers if perhaps that was the reason why her hand seemed to sort of quiver underneath mine when we shook, if perhaps she was trying to test something out. I probably failed. 

I have to write here that I'm pretty annoyed that my tumblr theme doesn't allow for italics or for small fonts.  How else will I talk about books and movies, damnit?!
