chapter 9

[miriam_e]

The latest part of my Selena City story about Adele, a lesbian in a near future where sexuality is not an issue.

part 9 Chances (1653 words)

A bit shorter than I'd like, but starting to get a little more back on track. I don't want to fall into the trap of posting each second day. Though 4am doesn't really count as part of the previous day. :) Hopefully I can get the next part out later today.

Let me know what you think of it.

Egads, yes, medication does funky shtuffies to the brain. =(. I think I was on some medication when I did NaNo last year. I'm not really surprised that I didn't finish, being medicated up and in the throes of junior year of high school--so much work! I even had an outline then. But I think it was so much work doing the outline that I exhausted myself completely.

Oh, I love Buffy! I watch it when I'm with my friend's ex-girlfriend, 'cause she's a Buffy nut. Xena too. Yay for more cuteness!

Oh, willywash on that! +Blushes.+ Amazing brain. Nooooot quite. =). But thanks. =P.

(I often keep an outline for long-term novels that I write throughout the year... They're strange.)

Yes! I love the nutty humor in Xena. (Any connection between 'Kiwi' and the New Zealand locations where Xena was filmed?)

Oh, and Daria -- another great show.

Wonderfalls is great too. Pity the TV executives killed it before it completed even the first season.

'fraid no connection between Kiwi and the New Zealand locations where Xena was filmed. =P.

Nicole (birth name) --> Nickie (wanted to spell it in a way no one else did) --> NiKi (because someone DID spell it Nickie, so I changed it) -- Ki ('cause it was capitalized) --> Wee Ki ('cause soccer pals are mean and I'm short =P) --> Kiwi (switched syllables, 'cause I'm also mean and kicked them all--also goes with my hiccup, somehow, which is really high pitched and strange).

That's my name in a nut shell. =P. I hate having the name "Nicole." Bad memories, I guess. If I had to go by any nicknames for it now I'd go by Nics (what I am in Bio II) or Elocin (Nicole backwards).

Never heard of Daria...or Wonderfalls. Pout. I've never been much of a TV person naturally, but I find I quite like it when I get myself into it.

heheheh You twisted person you. :)

I'm lucky. I like my name. It is perfect for signing my artwork: 'me'
:)
Some friends and family call me Mim. That always makes me think of the naughty witch in "The Sword in the Stone" Madam Mim. :)

Oh Daria is superb! I love the humor in it. Same with Wonderfalls. A lot of people have been trying to get a proper compilation of Daria to be released, but it hasn't happened yet. If you want to see the show let me know and I'll pop it on some disks and snail-mail them to you. I love the writing in Daria.

Twisted? Oh, never! =P.

I love the name I was GOING to be named, after the ambassador of Japan, my mother's ex-boyfriend's mother--amazing woman, and it wasn't as if Mum was still in love with her ex or anything. He died of a horrible disease, after all--and she had already left him for Da anyway. But yeah. I was going to be named Akile. (A-ki-la, pretty much.)

I haven't seen "The Sword in the Stone" in forever, if I ever saw that version.

Oh, oh, definitely send it to me! I would be totally interested! I love getting snail mail, too--as long as it wouldn't be too expensive of anything. Would you want me to email you my address?

You probably saw that Sword in the Stone -- the Disney animated one. It stuck very close to the T.H. White book -- a very sweet book.

email me the address you want me to send the disks to and they should only take several days. I'm in Australia.

I'll pop a few other goodies in that you might like too. :)
It's a gift. I insist.

[cranky--crocus.livejournal.com]

Ohh, yes, I did see the Disney animated one. =).

Alright! I will send you my address. =). Thank you! Eeeiii. <3.

:) I head back home from Mum & Dad's tonight, make the disks then and... oh... Saturday... don't know if the Post Office is open Saturday... well, at the latest I send 'em off Monday. :)
