Of NaNo, apps, goats and Gen

[ladyelysia.livejournal.com]

During last month, I once again discovered how horrible it is to do NaNoWriMo and college applications at the same time. Being a transfer student is really annoying.
I started going a bit crazy towards the end of the month, but I went more than a bit mad when Gen hijacked a scene from my NaNo story. The scene was supposed to go like this: Alyssa accidentally left the gate to the goat pen open. The goat wandered out, managed to get inside the house and started eating Eneles's papers. Eneles was naturally Not Pleased.

However, when Gen jumped in, it ended up like this:

Gen: Costis. I need you to contain the goat.
Costis: Goat? What goat?
Gen: The goat in the palace that's been eating everything in its path.
Costis: How did it get into the palace?
Gen: It walked.
Costis: .....    [a pause] .....   [another pause]
Gen: Someone neglected to check that the gate was latched.
Costis: Surely there's no rush. How much damage can a goat do?
Gen: It nibbled my attendants awake, managed to get into the Queen's closet before Phresine shooed it out, chewed on some random furniture, ate most of your notes on the Mede language, munched on some unusual documents, and was starting on my documents before my attendants burst in after its blood.
Costis: My notes....
Gen: It's not as bad as this set of documents. [points to chunks of wad on the floor] I don't know what it was. You, at least, have some of your notes.
Me: [magically appears on the scene] Wait a minute...
Gen: [rubbing a bit of paper] This paper's unusual. Thinner and smoother than ours and unnaturally white. The ink and writing are unusual too.
Me: Oh my gosh, that's my UC application.
Gen: [looks my way] Pardon?
Me: You let the goat eat my college application?! AHHHHHHHH!    ;A;
[insert funny looks from Gen and Costis]
Gen: Costis?
Costis: My king?
Gen: The goat.
Costis: On it, sir.




Anyone else recently have Gen invading their lives? :D

Holy Hephestia! You are brilliant.

Gen: It nibbled my attendants awake, managed to get into the Queen's closet before Phresine shooed it out, chewed on some random furniture, ate most of your notes on the Mede language, munched on some unusual documents, and was starting on my documents before my attendants burst in after its blood.
Costis: My notes....

*dies*

Hey, wait a minute. Are you trying to steal my court title? How dare you! I challenge you!

Oh, of course. Gen has become a prevalent part of my life. He calls me all the time, bugging me for the newest issue of Seventeen and Cosmo. He's seriously hooked on the fashion advice.

*phone rings*

Lady Jane: Yes, You Majesty.

Gen: How did you know it was me?

Lady Jane: Who else would call at three in the morning?

Gen: These inter-domesional time difference are tricky.

Lady Jane: No.

Gen: I didn't-

Lady Jane: I'm not sending you another digital clock. You just used it to make Costis hate me even more. Setting the alarm to ring at all hours. Even I felt sorry for him.

Gen: Oh, yes... That was very childish of me. I sincerely regret it.

Lady Jane: Yeah, sure...

Gen: Anyhow, I wanted to ask you about this whole white after Labor Day deal. What's your opinion?

Lady Jane: Propaganda. The fashion industry just wants you to think you can only wear white during the summer, because that's the season you sit on park benches at the beach. Thus, you ruin all you lovely whites and have to buy new ones. Clever?

Gen: Extortion I call it. Shameless these people are. And here I thought my court was full of rats. Oh, and did you know that Taylor Swift broke up with-

Lady Jane: Goodnight, Your Majesty.

Gen: Wait, wait. This South Beach Diet thing. What does it have to do with a beach?

Lady Jane: Nothing. Now, I know you're just doing this to annoy me. Goodnight.

Gen: What about this-

*hangs up phone*

*phones keeps on ringing*

Lady Jane: *groan*

I need to change my phone number.

Well, that's certainly one way to boost your word count in NaNo. XD

Hahaha! (And they need to put Gen in the Dare Machine, now.)
