No, I've never had that problem before. Well, maybe once, but it wasn't really a problem because I was writing it on purpose. It's a lot of fun to write hypergraphia stuff on purpose, even though sometimes it's a complete waste of time because you're writing and writing and then you look up at the clock and you've just spent five hours writing absolutely nothing. So maybe it's better to write with craft in mind, because I still need to figure out how to write description and action and writing hypergraphia stuff really doesn't help. On the other hand, writing hypergraphia does help with that word game that I can't remember the name of--oh yeah, Write Down! I used to play it all the time with GeorgeMichael, but then I think I kinda maybe wrote too much, and it was also a really stupid cliche story about this girl named Suzine that learned about magic. I barely remember it now, but I remember at one point I had entire plot planned out for her. But I would only write the rest of the story if I needed to. It was a pretty awesome story, because eventually I would bring in dragons and turkeys and Carrakas because I would have to write myself into the story, because it would be a humorous story, right? I like the idea of writing myself into stories, but sometimes I think it would be a little arrogant. I know I used to entertain the idea of being God, because I'm sorta God over my stories -- I created the characters and the setting, and I determine everything they do or say. So then I had the idea that the characters should I actually worship me. They could call me the Great Writer of the Sky or something less stupid, and pray for happy endings. But I can't figure out how that works, because if they're simply praying for me to write good stuff for them, then they can't actually do good stuff themselves, even though I could write the good stuff for them so they could ... Augh! It's confusing being a God. And now I've rambled for quite a bit. I bet you bet (and by you, I mean GeorgeMichael) that when you created this thread, someone would respond like this, didn't you? But you didn't know who ... and you couldn't have guessed it would be me, because I haven't been very active recently. I guess part of is it is that I was just on vacation, but now I'm back, so I don't have much of an excuse. Oh, I still need to send you my SBS action. These days I have no idea what I'm going to send. If I'm going to kill someone, I guess I would kill TN, but that might be too risky. Maybe I'll be better off committing suicide, except that's what I did last time and the time before, and normally it doesn't work and then it just gets boring, dying on your own. I could always Shoot the Air, although that hasn't ever worked for me either. Yeah, I guess I'll go shoot TN. Yeah, after I finish this, I'll PM George. All this talk of vacation reminds me: YES I'M GOING TO BLACKSBURG!!! Yeah. Now that you guys know exactly where I'm going to be: McBryde Hall, Virginia Tech campus for two days, I'm giving you an opportunity to stalk me. Don't take it. But yes, I'm going to Technicon25. I never thought I could, because I didn't want to go alone, but just yesterday someone offered to go with me, and we've already made all the plans and reserved the hotel rooms and it's happening. I might not actually speak with Him, but I'll see Him, and he will say lots of lordly stuff. Because GRRM is my God, nowadays. I swear, this is a health obsession, unlike my obsession with other people that aren't as nice. Like Javvy. Or Jaime, even though Jaime is getting so much nicer, which means I still like him but did he really dump -- oh, never mind, I shouldn't spoil the plot for you, in case you want to read it someday. Imelda has the book now, for instance, and maybe she'll read it. She said she would crit EC for Easter, and she hasn't, but I won't mind if she decides to read GRRM instead. I'm really scared that she won't like it, because then ... well, it's not like I would sever our friendship or something, but I'd be sad. I even had a dream that she wrote a short email to me that said something like: I can't keep reading this. I just can't. I'm really sorry. Then I woke up and resisted the urge to check my e-mail because it was just a dream, just a dream, and she wouldn't e -mail me anyway. So most of my friends don't like GRRM. He's too long or boring or complicated or depressing or inappropriate or a combination of them all. So I'm overjoyed when I find people that do like it. Like I've converted two people in the past two weeks, which might as well be the past school year. Two people since school started. Actually, that's not too bad, because I'll be going to school with these two people for the rest of this year and another three, and if I convert two a year -- yeah, it really won't be that bad. One of those converted is coming with me to Blacksburg, but she hasn't read the third or the fourth book yet. I don't even know if she's started on the second ... GRRM is going to read an excerpt from Dance on Sunday, and I can't subject her to possible spoilers, even though just going to the convention makes everything possible enough this is insane I'm actually going to go and I'll bring my books and get them autographed and I'll stammer and scream and everything else and there will be chocolate chocolate chocolate -- wait, there probably will be chocolate, but it'll be totally unrelated. Plus, we won't be allowed to go to the Adult Mixer thing because we aren't old enough. Then again, I'm really not old enough to read these books with these explicit sex scenes and whatnot -- but that doesn't matter, because there will be chocolate! Actually, chocolate has nothing to do with it, but I'm extremely lucky that my mom loves chocolate too (so you might say I actually like chocolate because of her, but come on, it's because chocolate tastes good), so she buys a lot for me and herself. But I'm home more often, so I can steal chocolate from her very easily. Which means I'm more fat. I'm an anorexic fat girl, and I don't eat chocolate! Well, I keep contradicting myself. Next thing you know, I'll actually be a boy, and I'll introduce you to my girlfriend. Her name is Ashley. I love Ashley, but she doesn't really understand my writing. I would introduce her to you, but she would spill all my secrets. So I guess I shouldn't. Ashley is awesome in other ways, though, but since she doesn't know about this site or my girl-personality, I think it's safe to say that I don't really love her. She's just my front because otherwise people will think I'm gay. And plus, Ashley likes me. Weird as it may seem. I don't know why ... which probably means I don't understand anything about love yet, but oh well, just as I said before, I'm too young and -- okay, her name's not really Ashley. If I don't tell you my name (Ed) why should I tell you hers (xxxxxx)? Our marriage is already an ongoing joke, though. She keeps going on about how we should elope to Paris. I respond by pointing out I only have $14.00. I'm worried she'll follow me to college, expecting that we really will get married ... but I'm only fourteen. I think we'll both grow up. Some day ... yesterday ... all my troubles seemed so far away ... I still haven't figured out where that song comes from. Yeah, I could Google it, so I suppose I'll do that right after I finish this, but first I want to keep writing. Otherwise I'll navigate away from this page and I'll have forgotten how to type or something. Typing is fun. It's hard to write on the computer sometimes, because you can get distracted by the Internet, or by other things that aren't on the Internet, so sometimes I write in notebooks, but when I write in notebooks, my thoughts come faster than my pencil goes. Plus, I have an awesome wpm. Okay, not really. It seems to keep varying between 70-110, but anything up there is good enough for me. It helps me with Write Down! for instance. Hey, it looks like I'm going back to the beginning. If I were really lazy, I would take the easy way out and copy what I've just written and post it below, and find a way to link everything together. But I'm not th
