So my cousin came over and we were talking about Calvin and Hobbes which is a pretty awesome strip only a bit negative....
I have most of the books and I was wondering
(1) Do you remember/ miss/ wish was around when you were old enough to read it?
(2) Do you think Hobbes is a stuffed animal or real?
(3) Have you read every C&H comic?
That 'tis all.

NaNoWriMo
Hi Everyone! As I hope you know it is Auguest 27 which means todays topic is pretty far away. However it is such a unique time that I feel like talking about it.
For all of you who don't know what NaNoWriMo is it is a month-long writing extraviganza where you try to write 50,000 words in 30 days. To achieve this goal you have to write 1,667 words a day every day in November. Yesterday I decided to try writing 1,667 words to see how it felt and it was very...tirering. To understand how big that number is I now have three and a half pages written and it took me at least an hour...maybe 2.
I know what you're thinking Why did they choose NOVEMBER!! November is such a busy month. And that's true but there really isn't a single month that isn't busy! Think about it. Most months have at least one holiday and maybe you wouldn't rather be writing while the turkey is in the oven but it's better to do it then instead of when it's hot and muggy or when you are listening to Joy to the World for the millionth time.
I haven't done NaNoWriMo yet so I'm probably not the perfect person for tips but I'll tell you what I know.
(1) STOP looking at the word counter!Yes I know it is hard but you should go for a good hour before you check your word counter.
(2) Find Friends! Find writing buddies to keep you going. People to discuss your story to is one of the biggest helps when you need to write 20,000 more words.
(3) PLAN PLAN PLAN!Don't sit down at you computer and spend November 1st trying to figure out what in the world you are writing about.
(4) When all else fails just type! One of my favorite books that I'm writing started by me just putting the first sentence I thought of on paper.
(5) Are you still out of ideas? What about Fan Fiction? Fan Fiction is a fairly easy style because the story is practally set up before you start.
(6) Go Online! Don't forget that the internet is here to help. If you ever need something, that's what google is for!
I hope this will help some of you out and make NaNoWriMo easier.

Sim Social
Hi everyone! As you probably know I am into the Sims. In fact right now I am waiting for the sims 3 to load up....I never would have joined this community at all if it were for the sims.
On the 24th Sims Social came out on Facebook...A regular facebook with far more options in creation and gameplay... You get quests from the "the gang" and earn simoleans based off your personality
Their are ways ea suceeded in this game and ways they didn't do as well...
The thumbs ups: Good customization of the player including personality; nice shop which is easy to navigate; (my opinion) better that the average facebook game
The thumbs downs: Their is a major need for more non-player characters; (my opinion) the energy bar is rather annoying (I'd like to talk about this a bit. If you've ever played Frontierville, you know the energy bar can drive you crazy...In Sim Social it is handled far better...not every little thing costs energy and you get 15 energy to start); There are (my opinion) far more girls than guys making the "fllirting" quests rather difficult; They also definatly need a little area where you can apply for more neighbors because none of my friends from home play the sims (besides who wants to flirt with their best friend...and then see them at school or work or anywhere the next day)
So that's my opinion on the Sims Social...I hope you enjoyed reading
