“Hello, (insert media dep’t here) Miss S. speaking.”
“Miss S., this is your mama.”
“Oh hi Mum.”
[Insert small chat about work, Hubbie, and just general randomness]
Slight pause.
“Oh, I finished my book. Printed it for Hubbie yesterday.”
“Good. Now you’re done. Leave it for now, you’ve done plenty.”
Trying to suppress my amusement.
“Mum, I kind of want to do this for a living. So I will write another book, and more, when I know what’s happening with this one.”
“Ok, ok.”

Half a ream, and a full ink and a half cartridge later…
… and 275 pages came out of my printer last night. Well actually 277, including the front cover and the… ‘other’ bit. No actually, it was definitely more, because when the ink started running out I had to cancel the print job, so I had a couple of scratchy looking pages that I had to re-print…
So let’s just say 280+.
It took a while let me tell you. I don’t have the newest printer, but those pages were coming out fast, and I was trying to make sure they dried (very slightly) whilst keeping them in order, which kept me constantly checking page after page. In total it took up 45 minutes of my time.
Stapling all the chapters together was like ‘wow.’ First seeing my work, my words on actual paper… it was weird. I don’t know how to describe it. It was just different. I this weird sense of ‘this is it?’
When I finally handed the bundled papers to Hubbie, I was feeling ecstatic, nervous, happy and very emotional. Emotional evident from the fact that after I gave it to him I burst out into tears, turning into a crying, sobbing mess.
Even handing it over… it was so odd. I’ve been wanting to do it for so long, to finish the story and have someone I love tell me what they think. But I had this sense of not wanting to give it. Whether because it’s been MY story for so long, and now it becomes someone else’s… whether it’s because I feel it’s a part of me, and it’s like I’m giving away a part of myself… or maybe because I’m just bloody nervous about the critiques I’ll get.
I think it’s a combination of all these things.
Hubbie did lighten the mood though. When I gave it to him he was like “What? It’s ALL this? This is one book?”
LOLOL. I’m chuckling to myself now just remembering his reaction.
He thought all the different stapled parts which I’d sectioned to create the chapters was actually ONE COPY EACH, and that I’d made several copies to give to family and friends.
“No, this is one book. You think I’ve been working for over a year on just this?” I flipped through the pages of one chapter, roughly 20 pages worth.
“Far. It’s massive.”
“You don’t have to read it if you don’t want to…” (as all good wives do I set the test, the challenge…)
“I want to.” (and he passed with flying colours).
I’m going to make a document where there is slightly smaller font though, because it ended up looking bigger than I expected on page. And there were so many bloody pages! I’ll use this doc to print further copies for my sister, Red, my Mum if she wants to read it…
I need to get me some more paper and ink.

Twilight obsessions and the Pez Dispenser
That post title almost sounds like a book in the Lord of the Rings series.
'The legend of Twilight obsessions and the Pez Dispenser.'
LOLOL.
Anyway, thought I might give you a quick follow up on some recent goings-on. The Pez story? You know, ex, former, bestie? Well, after I suggested on her facebook page that we catch up, perhaps on a Monday, she hasn't written anything back. Which is cool. I don't mind. I'm chilling, I'm hip with it all. But oddly intrigued. I know that if she were to respond, I'd be like "Noooooooo!"
Or would I?
LOLOL.
She has "liked" some of my recent status' (totally unrelated either consciously or sunconsciously to her in any way) and I wanted to "like" one of hers recently, however I decided against it, making the decision that if I would "like'' it, I would be tempting her to respond to my earlier question about catching up, out of guilt, like what I think occurred weeks ago (outlined in my post "Oops, I did it again"). And I say I think in reference to the guilt part.
So no interaction unless it comes from her. I wanna see what happens, or doesn't happen.
I ended up watching Eclipse again, with Hubbie. And yes, it was awesome. More awesome than awesome, I loved it. I was watching it from a purely different viewpoint this time. Rather than critical, I was more absorbed, intrigued, even though I knew what would play out on screen. And you know what? I actually change my initial standing, I think the movie does an exceptional job of bringing what we've read to life on the big screen. Considering the length of the book and how much detail goes into it, we get to see a lot of the good, juicy, and integral storylines.
I really loved it:)
And I had tears in my eyes in 3 scenes!
1. Bella and her Mum: when her Mum gives her that quilt, saying that it will keep her warm in Alaska, and maybe one day her children will need it, and Bella gives her that poignant, moving, emotional hug. Ohhhhhhhh! So sweet and sad.
2. Jasper and Bella: After Jasper recounts his back story to Bella, Alice comes up behind him, and one of them says something like "I was waiting for you" in reference to the other coming into their life. And they share the sweetest look and kiss. Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! So romantic and sweet.
3. Edward and Bella: I'm less sure of this one, but I'm almost certain it's when they are lying in her bed, and he is assuring her that he will love her even when she is a vampire.
Oh, oh, oh! How could I forget the most important Edward and Bella moment, when he proposes to her on bended knee.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Such a girl I know. But it is a beautiful moment, so sweet, romantic, and special. How could you not be moved?
Another highlight was Hubbie's response to it. On the way home, I was asking him what he thought of it. I'm always especially interested in his viewpoint when it comes to the general Twilight series, because:
A) he is a man, and I don't understand how men can be so intrigued by the story (and I say that in the least condescending way possible, I only say it because I believe it is targeted at a female audience)
B) he hasn't read any of the books.
He first stated, quite simply, that he thought the first installment was the best, Twilight. I don't know why that is, but it might have something to do with the hype only just beginning, and in general, perhaps people didn't have many expectations of it.
Then he asked, quite seriously: "Why is Bella so depressed and complaining all the time?"
LOLOL. Story of everyone's Twilight-life, question on everyone's lips after reading the books, is always about Bella. I tried to explain, and I think I did, but I couldn't help thinking of it again and again.
It really made me laugh. Well, at least with a comment like that, you definitely know the film has brought across at least one major theme from the books!

LOL!
I've come across such a bizarre tendency.
Only sometimes, but obviously often enough for me to notice, I will come across something funny, as you usually would. I'll hear something, read something, see something, or think something, that makes me smile and wanna laugh out loud, and you know what my internal response is?:
LOL.
The word actually makes its way towards the tip of my tongue, and just as I'm about to say it, I bite.
I mean, come on. You can't say LOL, out loud, right? It's a common web acronym that should only be used in online communication or sms, where audible words don't exist, to convey the message of someone laughing (out loud).
It is sooooo ridiculous. I think someone would actually hit me if I said it out loud, and they should be allowed to, as well. Anyone should be harmed for saying such an absurd thing out loud. It's not the LOL that doesn't make sense. It's the LOL in the company of audible words. Ahhh, yes.
It makes me wonder if I've been spending a bit toooo much time on facebook, emailing, messaging, chatting..........
You know, at the very beginning of the whole net sensation years ago (gosh how old do I sound?) I actually thought LOL was an acronym for 'Lots of Laughs.'
LOL.
Well, it does sort of make sense. When someone is LOL-ing, they are generally laughing and doing a lot of it, hence the justification to write 'LOL,' and clearly it must be loud, explaining the caps use. (just pretend that acronyms aren't all capped, ok?!)
So I will create a new one: LOLOL. "Lots Of Laughing Out Loud."
LOLOL! Let's see if it catches!
You read it here first.... :)
