Well, it looks like my NaNo attempt may be foiled once again. This year by a few different factors. 1. A bad case of mastitis that actually sent me to the doc asking for antibiotics. I don't normally do that. 2. Lack of interest. The first week, I was so excited about doing it. Something about my story seemed to hit a negative chord with me, though, and so I decided to stop writing it. At least for now. 3. Life. I did not realize how whiped out moving, getting settled, etc. has made me. I could easily feel guilty or ashamed (I know that is lame) over these things, because well that's what I do. I worry too much, but this time I refuse to. Just because I don't feel like doing it (and it's really as simple as that) doesn't mean I won't feel like doing it in February or something. So that's that.

In other news, I was thinking the other day about the idea of trying to take over the world. I heard it on "Pinky and the Brain", but of course the joke didn't start there. A friend of mine actually got me thinking about it when she made the comment the other day. As I stood in my thinking place, I wondered, "WHY?!" Why would someone want to take over the world. Yes, I understand it is just an expression for most and that it's a joke, however there are those who truly do. What good is there in taking over the world? Obviously they haven't thought through all of the possibilities of what that could mean. Taking over the world is tedious work! There is the planning, the building an army, the brainwashing, etc. It'd be even harder if trying to take over peacefully, in my opinion. Then, if you succeed at taking over the world there is the issue of dealing with everybody else's problems, the resistance, the yes men, etc. Eventually a person would probably go crazy because it would be lonely being in charge of the whole world. Not knowing who your friends are, who you can trust, and those things are all just snowflakes in the snowstorm of the process. Just too much work and, I don't think, enough gain to make it worth it.
