maderrI decided my original entry was too bitchy, and that I didn't like it. Let's talk about something more amusing.
My mother actually read my story Treasure a couple weeks ago and despite the "boy/boy stuff," she said it was extremely well written. This made me happy. Today she was...doing something, I think making cd's or whatnot...anyway somehow, don't ask me, another of my stories wound up on the disk she was putting her music on. She thought it was something else at first, and was reading it out of curiosity (I think she thought it was something written by someone on her cd? who knows.) Anyway, she said that she had thought it was "something professional" and didn't realize it was mine until she came to a part that mentioned an orange cat, upon which she realized I had written it (because I'd asked her and my sister to help me give the cat a name. I picked one later, but they don't like. they're still trying to come up with a 'better' one).
the point of this story was that my mom was getting on me for like ten minutes to "work on getting it published" and "don't waste it on the internet."
I'm not trying to brag - I just thought it was really funny given that the story she was reading is most definitely not publish-worthy, and that it was slash on top of that (my mom is hard core southern baptist, so you can imagine her stance on yaoi and the like). Not to mention I don't consider posting my stories online as 'wasting them on the internet.' that's ridiculous, it bothered me she said that.
I'm almost done with the first part, if anyone cares. She was readign the first story from Unequal Children. It should be ready for my plans for the 13th. Ah, those plans are coming along nicely...

p.s. I had no idea you even read my journal. does this mean I should avoid calling you names and such? 'cause that would spoil a lot of my fun.
