Doing a writing prompt. The poem I wrote is pretty substandard, but I didn't force it. I'm semi-pleased. It's not true- feel the need to point that out. I do very much love my boyfriend. He is wonderful, spectacular, all i could hope for. It was just the first idea that popped into my head based on the meaning- because I know of a lot of people who do stuff like that. I don't. I would be too afraid to break someone else's heart, after what happened to me. Either way, here's my shot at a daily writing exercise. It's lame. The end.

The Word of the Day for June 15 is:

complaisant \kum-PLAY-sunt\ adjective
*1 : marked by an inclination to please or oblige
2 : tending to consent to others' wishes

Example sentence:
Derek was a complaisant boy, always happy to oblige whenever his mother or father asked him to go on an errand.

Did you know?
The homophones "complaisant" and "complacent" are often confused -- and no wonder. Not only do they look and sound alike, but they also both derive ultimately from Latin "complacere," meaning "to please greatly." "Complacent" usually means "self-satisfied" or "unconcerned," but it also shares with "complaisant" the sense of "marked by an inclination to please or oblige." This sense of "complacent" is an old one, but that hasn't kept language critics from labeling it as an error -- and on the whole, modern writers do prefer "complaisant" for this meaning. Conversely, "complaisant" is sometimes mistakenly used in contexts such as "complaisant about injustices," where "complacent," with its sense of "marked by self-satisfaction especially when accompanied by unawareness of actual dangers or deficiencies," should go. One aid is to remember that with the preposition "about," you probably want "complacent."

The last few days have been pretty busy. Wednesday Sean came over, and I suppose we mostly handled our differences as far as him wanting to go to New York for school. I'm still confused and not sure about the entire situation, but I have faith that things will be okay and will improve. I do love him, I'm just not sure what I'm doing. At the moment I figure the best course of action is just to push it aside until we find out for sure what is going on.

Thursday was D&D. As always, I had tons of fun. We got ass raped by displacer beasts that the DM wasn't playing right. Then again, we often think our DM isn't DMing "fairly". He makes things almost impossible to beat, then has to let us cheat to beat them. Not a good sign. We have fun, though. Isaac is more fun to play under because he allows a lot more leniency in character build and creation. D&D again on Monday, which I'm seriously looking forward to. Well, that and the Munchkin. I love playing Munchkin.

And then last night I went to buy a bottle of liquor (I got Malibu rum). I was supposed to drink with Ben/William/Dominique, but I got pretty depressed last night so I came home. Talked to Sean for a while, and TaNeesha. Just kind of a blah night in general.

Saturday now. No plans for today. I wish Alice would hurry up and move out but she isn't moving anything. I guess Dad is going to have to be a lot nastier about the situation. How do you take over a month to move out and realize that you relationship is over? It makes no sense.

I'm just really stressed these days. Hopefully it all dissipates soon or I'm going to explode. Gah.

Today is going to be good, I feel it! Why? Because I have D&D today! Huzzah for Dungeons and Dragons! I made a pretty bad ass charrie last night. Isaac tweaked it for me after I went to bed, and what he did to it seems to have made it better. I am, however, a bit sad that I lost some of the AC I had. A level 5 gnome with a regular AC of 25 was pretty bad ass. But I trust that Isaac knew what he was doing when he beefed it. And, if I don't like it, I'll go back to my original - no problem! Anyway, game is around 1 today.

Tonight TaNeesha is supposed to bein town for a while. If game ends early enough then I'm going to go hang out with her and Alex at Ben's house. That should be fun. I miss Neesha like crazy. I rarely see her anymore. hard to be a BFF when you're a suckish friend like I am. Haha. But seriously, with drama going on lately, and having gone to NY for two weeks, and just being virtually incapable of really going out and being sociable, it's not so bad as I feel like it is. After things settle down, though, it'll be a-okay.

Missed doing my prompt yesterday, but I forgive myself, since I just started this thing yesterday. Now I'm going to start doing random prompts from the interwebs. Using a word of the day. And I wrote for six minutes. Rawr!

( Daily Prompt: Word of the Day from Dictionary.com )

New live journal, and I'm going to make a genuine effort of updating it regularly, and doing daily writing prompts, and getting back into the game of writing. Chances are, I will fail. But hell, I can have at it, can't I?

Starving at the moment. They're grilling Hawaiian and Sesame Ginger chicken outside, and it smells delicious. Dad is doing an expense report, Dixie is trying to lick my computer screen, and my father's bitch of an ex-girlfriend is in the process of packing her things and moving out. (Huzzah!)

Daily writing prompt to come later. I am currently replying to topics on the RPG I play on. A strange mix of World of Darkness, Harry Potter, and a gazillion other cross overs. But it's a wonderful place and I adore it. So huzzah!
