Featured Recommended Reading: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/4592067/1/What_Happens_in_the_Penthouse "What Happens in the Penthouse, Stays in the Penthouse" by Suerum - a chilling, gripping read full of suspense. Perfect read for the current season we find ourselves in. Really, I love this story, even the evil cliffhangers. :P

Random Teacher Thoughts- Ballads still need to be graded...one day left.

Random Writer Thoughts: I am at 10,000 plus words for my 'oringinal' piece which I officially hate at the moment. I like the first part of it, but what I wrote today, utter rubbish. If I include what I have been working on for fanfiction, my word count goes up to 21,000 plus words.

Music: "Mad World" - mutliple artists and multiple versions, most of them are quite fun.

Random Mr. Crackers story: He's a secret agent with ninja-like abilities who has been drafted to surveil the neighborhood in which he lives like any normal, domesticated cat during the day, but prowls the streets at night and often winds up on the roof. Because of his super secret undercover cover, he is unable to leave the roof unaided, it would not do to blow his cover by excuting a perfect unaided dismount from the roof.

Television: "Supernatural", "Psych", "Monk", "Criminal Minds", "NCIS", "Big Bang Theory", "How I Met Your Mother"

Inspiration: Poetry is inspriational for me right now. I recently purchased a book of poetry at Borders and have been reading a couple of poems prior to sitting down to write.

Current Stories: May focus on them for NaNoWriMo, but do not await timely updates as I am going to be focused on writing about 2000 words per day and well, the chapters will more than likely need to be edited (I am going to attempt to write without editing at the same time - difficult for me to say the least as I am very meticulous even about text messages I send out to family and friends who are generally equally as meticulous about sending them to me in turn - it is all about 'control' and perfectionism).
