Nano Blogging Day #10: Breaking 30k

[megwrites]

Woot! I'm past the 30k mark, which means I'm past the halfway part. I still have a way to go before I'm where I want to do.

But I have learned an important lesson. When in need of words to fill a big hole between plot points, gay sex is always a viable option. In my defense, my characters are married, so it's totally cool. And yes, as far as I'm concerned, same-sex marriage is already a reality. It just doesn't come with tax breaks and property rights yet.

And for the record? Saying that tax breaks and insurance sharing is what validates a marriage and "sanctifies" it is like saying that you can't have a cheeseburger without ketchup and pickles. It's nice to have them, but as long you've got meat, cheese, and buns (don't forget the buns!), it's a goddamn burger and any snotty burger purists can just get a side order of STFU & GTFO with that.

But enough of my political views.

Oh, I'm exhausted. I'd like to get to sleep at a reasonable time sometime this week!

God, She wants to do Vegas. She likes that bridge of the Enterprise thing, and I'm all no, no, no! If I get married *again* I wanna dress up like a snowbeast. I tried reasoning with her. Look, I said, you only do this 1 to 5 times in your life. But she just laughed.

She suggested Hawaii as a compromise. She used to live there. She said she could show me around. And she says there's really good weed there. Honestly, potheads. I'll just stick to the fruity little rum drinks.

lol I see you have forgotten about Suck Day.

Well, unfortunately the Star Trek experience shut down in, like, September because it wasn't profitable enough. Thus, she's gonna have to do it classic Elvis style.

I'll just stick to the fruity little rum drinks.

Me, too. Because you can't get arrested for a pina colada, or getting caught in the rain.

lol I see you have forgotten about Suck Day.

Oh, I remembered about Suck Day (and is it weird that even unemployed, Tuesdays STILL SUCK?) I just thought that morale needed boosting. Especially since the f#$%ing mail didn't run to day and I'm waiting on a check for some editing I did.

oh thank GOD. Seriously, I didn't think I could ever talk her out of that.

Hehe, true.

Wow, that's impressive. Tuesdays kind of are just that way. At least it's hotdog night.
