So I went ahead and preordered a copy of Dragon Age: Origins, thinking, "Oh, I'll have saved up enough to get the game and matching xbox by the time it comes out." Wrong. Oh ever so wrong. Car accidents kind of put a dent in money-saving plans (no pun intended until just now).

And now everyone has their copy and apparently it's the fukkin shitz and I MUST HAVE IT! Why oh why did I have to get in an accident? Does anyone else think that I could write off an Xbox on my student loans as "necessary for school"? AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!

In other news, the only way I am staying sane is with my NaNoWriMo novel. I'm putting up the chapters on my livejournal, as usual. [link]

I'm really excited about this one, you guys. Even if I don't finish Nano, I want to finish this story. It gets me going, draws me in, surprises me. Every time I start a chapter thinking "what the hell am I going to write?", the characters do it for me. And they (mostly) behave, cause I'm not very strict. But it's going to be so awesome!

Here's the book trailer, if you haven't seen it yet. [link] Although I just noticed that I made it when the female lead's name was still "Vima" (it has since changed to "Athena"). Must fix.

It's not bad (I guess?), but I think I'll leave the editing work to my brother *hinthint*winkwink*
