I was watching this show on A&E about prostitution. It was pretty interesting, especially when they talked about cultural differences regarding the sex trade, and all the different laws and practices. I was surprised to learn that some of the call girls in LA make over a half a million a year; it shouldn't be too shocking, though, considering that sex makes a lot of money. I was watching it with my friend Karen, and she said she would want to move to Nevada to work in a brothel. I think the only way I'd work in a brothel is if I owned the damn thing, because that would be pretty lucrative -- you make all the money, the girls give you like 50% of the profits. But as that's never going to happen, I think I'll try to continue writing and hope that makes some money. Might as well have a semi-but-not-really-realistic dream, eh?

I'm doing a lot better since last night, so if I worried you I'm sorry. I have spent most of the day playing Xenogears, watching TV, and knitting, and now I shall be working on NaNoWriMo and my short story for the Writing Poetry and Fiction workshop, which is, if I recall correctly, in two weeks. I think I have a good story in mind; I'll have to see how it unfolds. NaNo is going slowly, as the procrastination fairy has already settled in at its usual spot in my brain, poking random bits of the grey matter with its paper-clip wand (because you can't staple manuscripts, damnit! It's just not done!), and Xenogears keeps calling to me.

Which, by the way, is a great game! Although I only like Fei for his fighting prowess; as a character he's turning out to be an angsty, whiny little bitch. "Oh, even though whats-his-face orchestrated the whole attack on Lahan, it's all my fault because I jumped into the Gear to save everyone! Everyone hates me! Oh, woe is me! Why does everyone want my 'awesome power?' I don't want to fight, I want to mope in peace, damn you!!!" Seriously, Fei, just get over it and STFU. Or become a badass. Either way, I won't want to kill you so damn much if you just shut up and stop whining!

And does anyone else think that Dan's hair makes him look like a little old man who used hair dye? A kid that age should NOT be having a ginormous forehead, people! He seriously creeps me out. *shudder*

I'm gonna go work on NaNo now... PLEASE, words, work with me here!!!

Oh, thank god. If I have to deal with whiny Fei all through the game, I might just give it to Chelsey and never touch it again.

Also, how much am I going to be running into Dan? And does he ever get a semi-normal hairstyle?

Well... you run into him a few times... but he's nowhere near as major as what he was in Lahan. And no, his hairstyle never even approaches normal. Mind you, I'm not finished with it yet myself, but I'm pretty close.
