geez guys it was only a little rant...okay maybe it was a big one but now it's out of my system i promise!

well, i guess i should refrain from ranting from now on. you guys (speaking to the only two who ever read and post that is) seem all scared away by my insanity. understandable of course. but this time i'll write on a safer topic. so i've felt the...well, i guess the best way to describe it is as an "itch" to write, lately. i haven't known exactly what to write about most of the time, but my hands just get all antsy around papers and pens like they want to be working and why isn't my brain helping? crazy i know, but that's how it works for me. so anyways, i've developed this new story idea that's kinda kooky and sounds fun...even though i only know the basics right now. but we'll see what else comes later. the basics are: it's called Old Flames and this girl is suddenly beset by all her old crushes and boyfriends and the like (just like she always imagined mid-crush it someday being like) but they're all hitting her at one (not literally of course, because she would never stand for that). they all just kinda show up in her life and want to be part of it and she's confused and doesn't know exactly what to do about this and who knows what all's going to happen. it's typical chick lit (a new genre in the vein of Bridget Jones's Diary that even al haley assured me was pretty literary since it's more character focused than plot focused, so i don't feel bad about writing it. thanks al haley for your endorsement!) and it's going to be light and fluffy and fun and not overly serious because i feel "in a friendly-type mood" at the moment (betcha can't name what movie that quote's from. it's very tricky. but check back for updates on how it's going. i don't even have character names yet (that'll be for later tonight probably since i just came up with the story line today). well, sorry to cut this short, but i may get to making up those names now and i'll let you know later how it works out. so i'm signing off, "in mysterious fathoms below"
