I was just saying I'll stick to what I know :Sweat: Biologists are important ^^ I wanted to be a marine biologist untilI learned that they only work if they get sponsored by a university or company. Tough to work like that. But it would still be very interesting.

EDIT: oh my.. this Chuck show had billy crystal.. and the dude from teh enterprise.. the captain on it. Wow. O_O I know it's not in the topic on this thread but thought I'd mention it before I forgot.

Sorry for rambling. I haven't been getting nearly enough sleep this week. :p

If I end up working for the government, as a biologist, I'd be okay with that. My parents both do. Not all biologists are academic researchers.

Kat ^^ I :heart: you. I wish I could be a novelist. I just can't finish any story that I write. I hate when things come to an end. Also.. please excuse my typos!

Cica-dita! Rambling is more than ok, it's welcomed! That's how conversations just keep going and going! People get inspired from teh ramblings of a godmouse. lol.. Though you aren't really that anymore, at least in costume. That would be cool to continue the family legacy almost. What do they do really? Test water supplies? Or something darker? Maybe they test how bacteria effects the human body... human lab rats! *gasp* lol

Kat: Being a novelist would be awesome. I haven't managed to write much at length, though...

Zephi: Well, my mom works more with the regulatory end of environmental protection, though there is definitely science involved. There has to be. A lot of her work has to do with getting funding and arguing with people. :) My dad does fish contamination studies. Stuff like mercury and PCBs that bioaccumulate in fatty tissue, stuff you really don't want to eat. His work is more sciency.

I should start trying to really outline my urban fantasy parody novel idea. Because I really want to do that...

I wish I understood science more, too. ;)

Both your mom and your dad's jobs sound really interesting. Do you think they secretly argue in their minds that one job is mroe important than the other? Hehe.. I bet there is some kinda unspoken deep set competition there, even if they don't admit it.

I've gotten well into some of my stories. All of them are intertwined, there are 4 so far, I just can't decide which one I want to do first and how to write it without giving away to much about the other ones :(

Zephi: I actually don't think they're competitive about it. They both seem interested in each other's jobs, if anything, and ultimately their goals (environmental protection) are the same.

Kat: That would be cool. :) A key phrase is "vampire hookers" (and it's not what you think. Well, sort of, but probably not really.) That's not the central concept, but whatever, I'm amused by it.

JEANNE!!!! no don't drive away!!!!

that sounds complicated, Zep. I have lots and lots of stories, but only a few that I really want to finish and work on publishing.

Cica, what? vampire hookers? do tell!!

Uh, well, Kat, it's an urban fantasy parody. I want to flip the traditional roles of vampires and werewolves, and my heroine is to be a mundane, cheerful one with a mundane boyfriend. :) What you generally see is scruffy, animalistic werewolves and suave, sophisticated bloodsuckers, right? My vampires... Well, I won't get into it, but essentially they become recovering addicts, unable to use supernatural charms to get blood. They have to rely on mundane charms, which doesn't work nearly as well, because they're dead. Which is why I figured I could work vampire hookers into it.

Yeah, I need to write this story...

Vampire hookers... so either that means that... oh wait.. you just posted. I'll keep my thought to myself then. *reads*

Yes.. you should definitely do that. Want to know what i was thinking? You might think it's funny. First I thought of dead chicks on a corner trying to seduce guys but then... then comes te funny part. People hunting vampires but like they were fish. They would put a peice f bloody meat onto a hook and wait for a bite. Thus the term vampire "hookers" lol

BTW... THE is a really hard word for me to type tonight for some reason. lol

XD Fishing for vampires! I... doubt I could use that. :p You could write a short story though. Fishing for vampires. Hee! Your first thought was more accurate, definitely.

XD Hey Linnea! I was just sort of explaining about the novel I want to write. We are talking about writing because Kat wants to be a novelist (and she sort of is, actually, depending on your definition) and I am also rambling.

@cica: i didn't know that you also want to write! that's great!!

@zephi: i love the vampire fishing/ hookers idea... classic!

@Kat: Thanks. :) I think that will be my New Year's Resolution. To write it.

Anyway, I should go take a shower and then maybe get some laundry done and tackle some reading before bed. Seriously, I have barely touched my little stack of comics from last week, which is awful, and... hm... yeah. Need sleep. Night!
