Michael Trevino is a god. And Bigfoots are under appreciated.

I think it's time for a new tag: NSFM. Not Safe For Mom. Hi, Mom! Hi, Kayla's Mom! This blog is one big joke, but you may want to turn back now. I would never be graphic (well...I might be a LITTLE graphic) or gross, but you still may not want to read parts of what follows. You've been warned. <3

Shall we begin?

This week I set out to create a collage of pictures of some of my favorite ripped celebrities. The purpose of this collage was to remind me why I'm working out so hard: so that can be all muscly and hot too. During my hunt for shirtless pictures, I discovered that Michael Trevino (who plays Tyler Lockwood on The Vampire Diaries) did a photo shoot for Bench Underwear. Well...soon my celebrity collage became a mostly-Michael Trevino collage. I couldn't help myself. I shared a picture with the boyfriend and said "this is my new goal body" and his response was "Is that attainable!?" To which I responded "Over time, yes." And he said "Yes, let's aim for that!" Of course by "over time" I meant "Over ten years once I win the lottery and can spend six hours per day working out." Eh, details.

(click for bigger - various sources, please do sue me!)

This discovery led to a bit of an obsession with Michael Trevino and I started following him on Twitter. Through his tweets I have learned something: Michael Trevino is a total bro. A bro who is always wearing something (hat, shirt, etc.) that says "Raised by wolves." Let me tell you what I'm raised by: pictures of Michael Trevino in underwear.

Of course now that I've said that, my mom (who probably kept reading despite the disclaimer) is going to think that my workout motivation collage is really motivation for something else.

Let's change the subject....

Last week I came up with a great idea for a TV series. I'm still working on my novel, but I would like to try my hand at TV too and I thought I had an ingenious idea! Recently my parents have revealed an obsession of their own: the Animal Planet series Finding Bigfoot. I happen to love bigfoots (and yetis as well). So I was like, "OMG! A bigfoot drama!" In this drama we will learn that bigfoots do in fact exist and that they are not only smart, but they are smarter than us! They will finally become fed up with man kind and decide to reveal themselves and subsequently take over the world. And then I had another realization: "OMG, Michael Trevino can play the lead human!"

And then I told Kayla about this idea and she responded: "So you're writing Planet of the Apes?" >_<

NaNoWriMo Ate My Soul!

Here is my schedule for every day of November:

Wake up. Go to work where I write for a living. Come home. Write recreationally (that's a word, right? spell check doesn't think so...) for five hours. Go to bed. Repeat.

I am currently participating in National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo.

The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write 50,000 words in 30 days. I've decided to use NaNoWriMo to finish a novel that I've been working on since September; so, I've scheduled a week of vacation at the end of the month and kicked my goal up to 100,000 words by December 4th (the last day of my vacation)

What this means is that of the 13 hours of writing I do a day, very little-if any-of it will be dedicated to writing blog posts. I know what you're thinking: #sadrhino*

There is good news though:

1. You still have Kayla. And let's be honest, she's funnier than me anyways.
2. I haven't left you completely high and dry. For instance I still have a post that mentions porn coming; so, you have that to look forward too.
3. Kayla and I are bound to do something crazy that I won't be able to resist writing about!

Perhaps Kayla will even regale you with tales of my inability to spell. Or to form a sentence. Or to use a . (period) as my pinky is freakishly long and always lands on the / . (<--oh look, I actually managed a period at the end of the sentence on my first try!)

Anyways, I am telling you about my unavoidable absence in advance because I hate when bloggers just vanish and I don't want you to think I died (would you notice?).

Also, if you even remotely like writing, you should check out NaNoWriMo. It's probably too late to jump in this year (unless we have any participants among us already?), but you can feel it out for next year. They also have a screenwriting version in the spring!

So, never doubt my love for you! I will return in full, annoying force!

*Center Stage: Turn It Up is a terrible movie but is so worth watching just for the last scene** and to hear Kenny Wormald say "fire" and "ballerino."

**I originally wrote "seen" instead of "scene" but Kayla fixed it when reading the post before giving her stamp of approval. And I wonder why people doubt me when I say that I'm a writer. >_<
