The irony of me posting an assignment with a *vomit profusely* deadline is ... well, it's insane, if one can use that word to describe irony.
But since it's my paper with the assignment on it (at least until I get the scan to you) I thought I'd repost it because we were somewhat inebriated last night to one degree or another. And lest I be accused of plagiary, I'm referencing the source as well.

So let's just see what happens, shall we?
Happy writing.

ReplyDeletea. a fairly obvious ploy by my procrastinating not-so-subconscious mind to avoid writing this other pain-in-the-ass scene, and
b. doesn't seem to be a concept i can fit into one scene. i'm having a really hard time keeping things short. i keep wanting to writing a fucking book. and you know, there are just not enough hours in the day to be writing two at once. *whines*
