The People In My Head and on the tv

Recently I have found myself getting rather caught up in several books. So caught up that I would rather find out what is going to happen to the people I'm reading about than the people in the television hanging out with Tim Gunn.

(I always assume that people know who Tim is and then when they don't I'm surprised, so if by chance you don't know who Tim is I linked to his Wikipedia)

Do you know about my project runway obsession? We could talk about the designers or Tim & Heidi here if I'm not the only addict - you let me know.

So some of these books I've been reading have grabbed me by the shirt and kept me enthralled - on the edge of my seat - wondering what is going to happen! OMG what will I do if Georgie & Bram can not get their shit together. I know that they aren't real just like I knew that J.R. Ewing wasn't really shot in the chest by a mysterious would be assassin; but it doesn't stop me. Just ask Mr. M. or the kids.

What I've found interesting about this is that as certain authors (and I'm not going to list them all because I think they would be essentially different for every person) have made their characters come alive, the ones of my own making are fighting to be heard and they're getting loud.

Yesterday's story was more than a joke and much more than a little fun - it was really an exercise. Whether it was a successful exercise remains to be seen because I didn't let any of my own characters out.

I've downloaded the freeware ywriter to my little netbook, I've figured out what should be my writing time, but I haven't officially thrown my hat in the ring for NaNoWriMo... not sure if a deadline is what I really need - I have a feeling the people in my head will tell their story in their own time.

Project Runway Fix!

Now that there are only 6 designers left I've decided who I think should win and who I am fairly certain will win and the order in which the rest of the pack will be eliminated. The last 6 are:

Althea Harper
Carol Hannah Whitfield
Christopher Straub
Gordana Gehlhausen
Logan Neitzel
Irina Shabayeva

Whose your pretend money on?

I think tonight will spell the end for either Christoper or Logan - neither of them are talented enough to make it to Fashion Week and their performance has been in the gutter the last few weeks...It will take a miracle, a mental breakdown or sabotage on one of the more talented designers for Logan or Christopher to avoid the auf Wiedersehen.
