I had a dream about Livejournal.

In my dream, I was being talked about on sf_drama. Somehow my name came up in a post, and someone I didn't even remember talking to said "Oh, Arpie! I had the weirdest conversation with her. She wouldn't shut up about her stories." and then someone else said, "I find Arpie easier to tolerate if I pretend she's just some sad, lonely man pretending to be a cute girl on the Internet for attention. Or maybe she's a transsexual."

Then I joined in the conversation and tried to convey the fact that I actually was somewhat amused by these comments and not being one of those people who's butthurt and just tries to pretend to be amused. I failed, and got mocked further, but in my dream I didn't care too much.
Then lilenth joined in the conversation but I woke up before I read what she said. I'm sure it would have been interesting, too.

I was kind of annoyed when I woke up because I always wonder what people I don't know think about me, but now I'm back to square one and have no idea again. Sigh.

Wisconsin is being really rainy and brown and pretty. I wish I had a camera.

Also everyone on my friends list seems to have collapsing lives and/or is really upset. All at the same time. And I'm too depressed myself to really console anyone. Blerrrrrgh

I have a tae kwon do test soon. I am only moderately confident. I've got to remember more stuff than in the last test.

I've been reading Frank Peretti and apparently just sitting down and reading something new is all it took to get me in a writing mood again. And I read a book about developing characters by Orson Scott Card, which went into the MICE (milieu-idea-character-event) explanation of plot types and I realized my Naasenor Story switches from being a Milieu story to a Character one midway through. That's probably why the worldbuilding in the second half seems so dull. Hunh.

Today Amby came over and worked on a painting which she'll use for a Christmas card. Fun times.

Also, is the e-mail alert thingy not working for anyone else? I keep getting LJ messages but they aren't showing up in my e-mail and now I'm wondering what I could be missing.
