estiroseThis is for short notes I make to myself for Camp NaNoWriMo, August 2012. All in one place!
* You're taking the 8- what do you mean, this is taking place in San Francisco?!?
* Dear Analisa, you owe me one for having to ask my coworker about decent areas in San Francisco.
* You owe me another one for having to google Muni buslines, apartments, and Fajra's church.
* Goodness gracious, Analisa, did you know there was a Starr King street in San Francisco? I guess you would.
* Why are you even taking the bus? That Safeway isn't that far away from where you live, even if you're hauling a gallon jug of water.
* What? I managed that jug, half a mile without taking a bus!
* I need to set up a fluorescent light, since I don't think that you have a balcony and I don't want to fry the Sundew.
* You and Fajra are in no position to giggle at Augra's name.
* Come to think of it, I should probably rename her Agura. That way she's a Japanese sitting position instead of a Dark Crystal character.
* Why are you talking to a houseplant, Analisa?
* Ah, Fajra. No, I don't know why she's talking to a houseplant either. And I suspect there's a section I'm going to cut later. Like, when I don't have to make wordcount anymore.
* "Analist". Seriously, fingers.
* And I just lost a half hour to the Nanoisms thread. WTF.
* Dear brain, we seriously do not need to research when lead pipes were invented and if the houses in Murakami Village would have them. Give me 700 more words and we'll discuss it later.
* Agura, why are you ringing the doorbell? You have as much reason to as Analisa has to be taking the bus in the first place!
* Well, at least I got the "Dark Crystal" joke in.
* Dear Fajra, thank you for finding something that did not involve Esperanto's special letters. Tio plaĉas al mi.
* Analisa, why are you a lake?
* Muses, my translation skills in Japanese and Esperanto are not so good at this point in the evening. English, please?
* Yeah, I don't blame my muses for thinking it's a dream. Though I do blame my brain for the Decade reference.
* Analisa, stop being genre savvy. There's supposed to be death and destruction. Stop hopping up at the Call!
* And you're into kio la fikanta infero?!? Did I want to know that?
* Agura, stop popping in and out.
* Note to fingers: It's Minakami village, not Murakami village. All Gods, not Forest Gods.
* At least Analisa explains why she jumped at the call, that being that she needed to jump at the call to avoid having anybody die.
* We're getting into the whole religious discussion again. Hopefully things will calm down and Analisa will discover she needs a life.
* Finally, Emmett gets mentioned! He's an important character.
* Analisa's tried to go to church, Fajra's church, but didn't like it. (Seriously, my one UU service, I spent feeling like I was going to my own church with no mention of a particular deity.)
* Word count padding silliness: A few sentences of fanfic in another language.
* Fajra's thinking - or starting to think - of the implications of God needing to be woken up.
* Neither of them can afford anything very fancy. Neither of them owns a tablet.
* Whole discussion about how Fajra and Analisa got to know each other, which was neat. Wandered into a discussion of the Book of Ruth.
* And from the Book of Ruth, an excuse to quote the Bible, New Revised Standard Version. (I grew up on Revised Standard. Fortunately, I have a NRSV for reference.)
* Following the Book of Ruth, a discussion about Shinto, the possibility of more than one deity, and a discussion that probably needs to be cut out about relationships in Fatal Frame.
* Yeah, yeah, I'm sure getting Analisa addicted to Fatal Frame is a really good idea right now.
* Analisa sucks at video games. They discuss their favorite Mexican restaurant and the availability for finding food in San Francisco. I get to stick in that the website's menu (as in, the food they serve) page is not functional.
* And because I didn't want to get to the Mexican restaurant right away, I am writing Analisa cooking spaghetti in detail.
* Unexpected discussion of a new staffmember that apparently now has to appear in the novel. Dang muses.
* And apparently Wikipedia accuracy, Doctor Who fans, way too much discussion of the guests in the Doctor Who ep Battlefield.
* And Christianity as fandom, idea courtesykerravonsen.
* Why am I discussion feminine periods and the fact that the guys who wrote the Fatal Frame games probably didn't think of them? (Though given the dates in the first game, it probably didn't matter if Kirie was having her period. The next two games they probably could wait a few days if needed, and the fourth, for all I know it could have been a good thing for the main ghost in life to have it.)
* So, we meet Everett, who seems to have renamed himself from Emmett. Thank goodness for coworker, who can tell me all that I need to know about that particular restaurant.
* Everett is intrigued. He's going to have issues later on, but right now he's in "helping people start their research" mode.
* I don't know what I used for Everett's original surname, but he's now surnamed Tanaka.
* Everett really is a serious guy, he's just in a really good mood right now.
* Have a discussion of library difficulties and UU jokes, with a side mention of the (in)famous "Unitarian Jihad"!
* Everett has stomach issues. The fourth seat at their table is taken up by an Episcopalian minister/priest. Who recommends Spong because he was the first thing I could think of when I was in the middle of a word sprint.
* Everett is Buddhist. Analisa was raised Church of Christ.
* Side discussion about Norse myth and a side note about the Avengers movie.
* As an agnostic, Analisa has the very Humanist belief that we have one life and we should be good to each other because of it.
* Why are we having a side musing about cognitive distortions? Though it is better than Analisa's kinks.
* The idea that Tanya Huff puts forward in her novels, about deities that just need to be known rather than worshipped, makes its way in here.
* Yes, Analisa knows the bible. I don't know why Fajra is cracking up, she and Analisa had a whole discussion on Ruth a few days ago.
* The twin sunday school teachers were mentioned on purpose, to later reflect back to the morality in Fatal Frame II.
* Apparently Fajra's parents grew up in something other than Unitarian Universalism. Mom was a Quaker and dad was a United Methodist.
* There is a group I read about today where they become like gypsies in the name of Christ. Interesting! If a bit heartbreaking.
* Wandering from them a bit, I get to talk about San Francisco weather as opposed to weather further inland.
* And wandering even from that, there's a discussion about Norse Myth vaguely via Anne Frank, with a quote from the 1st edition Dungeons and Dragons "Deities and Demigods" book. Um, thank goodness I kept my copy?
* And also, should I ever forget, the novels that Analisa is semi-recalling are the Bifrost Guardians novels by Mikey Zucker Reichert. Because otherwise I'll forget them too.
* You're taking the 8- what do you mean, this is taking place in San Francisco?!?
