well, that went well

I've nearly completed my challenge fic and now the editing process begins. I'm rusty, but I still have three days to get it all done. The story turned into fanfiction, not original which is hella disappointing, but after brainstorming the other night with polgara_5 the muse was all sorts of interested in my most recent plot bunny.

Random Topic Change: This season of Face Off has some talented people, but most of their personalities make me want them to lose. I feel terrible because it's their makeup skills that matter, but when they consistently whine about the challenge I am forced to mute it until they get back to work. So much talent, so many bitchfests.

RTC: I think I want a twitter account just to follow famous people who amuse me, but then I think about how much time I spend on Facebook (which isn't that much when compared to Pinterest) and think 'Eh, better not.'

Yays for writing! Fan ficiton is certainly better than not writing at all, right?

Oddly enough, I think most of the bitching, whining and other histrionics are requested and egged on by the producers and directors of these reality TV programs. I would certainly hate to think that everyone on those shows is as annoying and petty as they seem.

Twitter is not as much of a time sink as you would think, especially since you can separate the people you follow into lists in order to filter what you read (unlike Facebook, which is a royal pain). However, I would highly recommend you not have Twitter alert on your phone, or it will be alerting constantly. As for following amusing and famous people, I think Nathan Fillion and Will & Anne Wheaton are the most amusing folks out there.on Twitter; at least, they amuse me.

Depends on how well I wrote I think. :)

There's a reason I don't watch 'reality television' but I watched FaceOff because they usually showcase the talent of the contestants and the interaction between them has always been secondary. It still was/is, but this season's contestants all seemed to whine about every challenge and all the work they'd have to do. This is the 6th season. How did they not know what they were getting into?

Twitter just feels like one more distraction. I might eventually break and join, but for now I shall pretend it is the devil and should be avoided. ;)

Right there with you regarding reality TV. I used to watch "What Not To Wear" and "River Monsters", as well as a few things on HGTV and DIY Network, but that's about it for me.

LOL! I view Tumblr, Pinterest and several of the other popular sites the same way. Especially Pinterest! Dear Gods, I've been looking at things on there and gotten lost in it for hours at a time. :-p

I love the Food Network and Food Channels. I'm a fan of most cooking shows because I love to eat. :)

Pinterest is addicting and I have to be careful when I go to bed. I'm not allowed to play on my phone before I sleep because usually an hour slips by and I don't even realize it.
