This is my NaNo icon. *drools*
Nov. 2nd, 2008 11:16 pmFor those of you who don't know yet (by my various comments on journals, because I've been too lazy to actually *post*, what is wrong with me!?), I am doing NaNoWriMo again this year. My goal is 60,000 words. I'm also the Regional ML for Grinnell, so I'm organizing write-ins and stuff for my fellow Grinnellians, twice a week.
Definitely keeps me busy. XD
AND. I'M TOTALLY WRITING ABOUT HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.
I'm not going to lie. I saw HSM3 in theaters on Wednesday and fell in love with the series all over again. And this is saying something, because I've always been an avid lover of the HSM crackyness. But I saw HSM3 and I'm telling you, it is really quite impressive. I think it's going to date somewhat, because it's definitely made for today's music trends, but it's so stinking cute. What I love about it most is that it makes no apologies for what it is; completely silly self-indulgence from beginning to end. <3333 SO MUCH LOVE.
My one little complaint was that is was kind of the Zac Efron Show. There were only two songs in the whole thing that didn't feature him. >.> That boy is lucky he found out he had singing potential. But he's good. And an amazing dancer. AND FREAKING HOT, OMG. I saw pictures of him shirtless and MY LIFE CHANGED.
I really like the songs "Can I Have This Dance" (which is really sweet, and a great duet), "I Want it All" (OMG RYAN AND SHARPAY <3333), "A Night to Remember" (the girls v. boys excitement for Prom. Very funny), and "The Boys are Back" (which is Troy and Chad running around playing pretend in a car dump. SOCUTE). They're all fun, though.
So. I'm writing HSM: The College Years for my NaNovel. XD It's basically about how, when all these kids go to college, their lives change as they realize life isn't all like East High. Troy and Gabriella struggle with their long-distance relationship, Chad struggles with peer pressure and the question of his sexuality (because I HAVE to have Chad/Ryan in this or I'll simply DIE), Ryan and Kelsi are at Juilliard, being amazing and enjoying the kind of friendship that only a girl and a gay man can have. <3 Sharpay hates being a college freshman and, therefore, the given subject of humiliation. She also discovers that she might just love being a drama teacher.
I'm at just over 5,000 words; I'll have a widget once the NaNo website slows down enough that my connection doesn't time out every time I click on something. >.> Oh, Nano!
I should be working on any of my Religious Studies papers right now. They're both due Friday... but I'm not. Le Sigh.
