After a series of events, I've decided to friend-lock this journal. Not that anyone beside the people who are already on my list probably even CARE, of course, but it's just easier this way. Any future sporkings I do will probably be made public, but that's probably going to be it. If you feel you MUST see the daily goings-on of my life, comment on this entry and ask to Friend me; random requests will be denied.

Yes, valued readers, I bring what may be the last chapter of The One I Love.

( And we all breathe a sigh of relief )

And I bring you chapter two of Mightyena26's proudest accomplishment.

( And by proudest accomplishment, I mean the worst thing possibly since nature invented Avian Flu )

I'm sitting in my town's library right now, and thought I'd whip-up something for you all to enjoy! This is a multi-chaptered fic, so expect more in the future

( My love of Pokemon Ranger causes me to feel RAGE )

IF YOUR LIFE WERE A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you're cool...

Some rather... interesting choices there, wouldn't you say?

( Hi, everyone! ) Yes, that's me. I r pathetic X_X Oh, well.

As many of you probably don't know, I have an epically long and growing story on FictionPress called That's Life.  Consdering I have no life, I found a really long character sheet and decided to fill it out for the boys.

 

( Cameron is first! )

Ever wondered what I look like?
( Now you know )

I'm both shocked and apalled.  Shocked I could get so many hits, apalled that people are too damn lazy to let me know they're enjoying it.  Seriously, over half the people who have it on alert have never reviewed.  I like the attention, people.  So please.  For me?

Make sure you have the sound on for this.  The effect isn't the same without it.

Yes.

Uh, so, yeah. That's what the desktop on my laptop currently looks like. Just thought I'd post it because I felt like it :P

For anyone who reads this journal and feels the need to read the writing that I said I'd be posting on here but actually have been too lazy to do so, you can check out my FictionPress profile at Miss Mysty. It's almost exclusively Slash stuff, although the people who I know read my journal shouldn't have a problem with that :-P

Also, if anyone plays the MMORPG Fiesta, feel free to give me a poke and I'll relinquish how you can find me on there if you feel like going adventuring, mkay?

That's all for today. Until next time!

My college has a small grocery store that students can get most any food a college student needs.  Meal plans come with points that we can spend at this store, meaning that if we're paying for a meal plan, we basically don't actually have to pay for anything in the grocery store.  This is a heavily-snacking NaNoer's wet dream, wouldn't you say?

I actually got to thinking about what snacks I should have during NaNo when I went in there earlier today to get a few things.  I got a box of Cheez-Its and two bottles of Lipton iced tea (sadly they don't have white tea there, so I had to settle for black tea, which I don't like quite as much because the flavor isn't as strong as white tea, and friends will attest that I like my iced-tea STRONG).  When I went to check out, the woman there (she was probably a student, so about my age, but I'm eighteen and therefore a grownup, thank you) told me about the phenomenon of how, when people love Cheez-Its, they seem to REALLY LOVE Cheez-Its.  And it's true!  I REALLY LOVE Cheez-Its.  And Goldfish crackers.  I have a theory that cheese-based cracker snacks have some kind of addictive substance added to them.

So basically, my food consumption for this year will probably go something like this:

Cheez-Its and some form of raspberry iced tea
Realize I should probably have an actual lunch and go to the dining commons
More Cheez-Its
Cook a microwavable pizza and eat it at my desk
Still more Cheez-Its.

My peer mentor mentioned to me that there's a health food store downtown, so I may even spring for some organic fruit or something.  I loves me some grapes.  Yum.

So I finally indulged in requesting stuff to represent my novel for NaNoWriMo this year. I've got a banner and a book cover that were made for me by other people, and a book cover I made myself because I put in the request right before the huge server malfunction caused the NaNo site to crash, so I wasn't sure if the person would've gotten it.


( Check under the cut for some funderful goodies )

Inspired by this video. I've always wanted to make a motivation poster. *feels accomplished*

To all those watching my journal that don't know, the NaNoWriMo site is back up! It is now time to mercilessly lurk the forums :D

This is the view from my dormroom window right now. As of this picture, there's twenty-two empty bottles of Lipton Raspberry White Iced Tea. An online friend of mine suggested I make a sculpture, and I actually might. I was considering making one of Pikachu, but I'd need more bottles. More on my ventures in the art of bottle sculptures as it progresses.

Greetings, everyone. This is Calming Sea-Salt Ice Cream, my personal writing journal! I originally created this to blog about my ventures in National Novel Writing Month 2008, but I figured that since this is mine, I can do whatever the hell I want with it!

Basic stats: the name's Joana, I'm eighteen years old and a creative writing major at University of Maine at Farmington. Most of my original writing is Slash, most of my fanfics are not (which is a phenomenon that I to this day don't get). I have a good-sized collection of Yaoi manga, despite being a lesbian (which is another thing I don't get, but oh well).

My fandoms include Trauma Center, Ace Attorney, Pokemon (video games, not anime)Kingdom Hearts and FAKE.

The reason behind my journal name is actually from another account, mystymysts. I posted a fanfic sporking in the Heartless Fics community. At one point, I had the others calm down Kairi with a Sea-Salt Ice Cream bar, and someone commented about "calming sea-salt ice cream". It sounded neat to me, so there you go.

So, I guess that's all, until I have some writing or something to put in here. Until then!
