But, that's not really what this post is about. See, I got a random idea talking to Larry on Facebook afterwards about writing a story or two about our little group. Things are rather boring; no explosions or car chases in our daily lives, after all.
So these things need to be added.
Indeed, I was contemplating creating a parody of our lives. Where normally we'd just be driving down the road, in my stories we'd end up rear-ended by another car, causing Larry to play getaway driver while the three of us in back lean out of windows and start taking potshots at the car taking potshots at us. I know, genius right?
Maybe I'll add some relatively impossible things, too; After all, it's entirely plausible (And extremely likely, considering I will be taking many different martial art classes when I finally get that mythical job thing everyone is talking about) that our group could be able to unleash the fury on some random guy shooting an assault rifle out of a car window at us. Now, for the relatively impossible thing? Maybe I'll stand at an intersection and deflect the car with
Personally I think it'd make one hilarious story.
In other news, I need to start writing my actual story I've been thinking up for the past few months. Now, I did get most of Chapter 1 done, but I think I'll just go about rewriting it again. It's a sci-fi steampunk fantasy type of thing. Here's the basic plot I thought up to get me started on writing it. Eventually it'll get more complex...
Basically, there are three races settling a new planet: Selarnians, Kya'tul and Humans. Selarnians are humanoid felines; Panthers, cats, tigers, etcetera. Kya'tul are... Well, werewolves; White, black and grey for the different types of wolves. Humans are self explanatory, though somewhat different than we know humans as.
These three races try to settle on a planet called Morhaven, which also happens to be the name of the story. They will meet resistance by some of the creatures already living on the planet; The Koluna and the Sero. Koluna are a race of humanoid insects with a hive mind retaliating against the encroachment of their territory. The Sero are a race of giant carnivorous plants that have a human-like intelligence who are fighting simply to kill for food.
The story's main character is a young Selarnian woman named Rasiara, a meek panther with very sharp claws that she won't hesitate to use if cornered. She won't be the typical defenseless chick the main male character saves all the time that nobody likes for whatever reason, but I won't spoil that. She starts off in her home city on Morhaven, Namyria, where she meets a Kya'tul captain named Rakith. He recruits her as a mechanic on his ship to the complete annoyance of his entire crew, save for his sister.
Rakith is a black-furred Kya'tul shipcaptain with bad experiences with Selarnians, leaving him racist against their kind. He's got a mean streak, though he has a soft spot he rarely shows to anyone but his sister, who happens to be the doctor on his ship. He's ruthless, but has good intentions.
Now, on to the more interesting stuff: During their flight to the Kya'tul village of Dorlea, they get attacked by Kolunan ships and barely manage to evade death, but taking a lot of damage to the ship, which grounds them in Dorlea. This causes more problems since most Kya'tul are racist toward Selarnians. Which means Rasiara will have some trouble.
While they're in Dorlea, something happens and causes the two to travel all over Morhaven, trying to stop the Koluna and Sero from killing everyone. On the way they meet new people to join their little group from the other races and eventually get to the heart of the little problem and fix it.
Yep, vague ending description. Yes, I know, there are furries in this. I really don't care; they make for interesting story elements. Who wants to write about boring old humans anyway? I have to be one of those all day. Anyway, I think it'll be great.

Now, for a rant. My computer crashed three times while I was trying to write this post. Yep, three. After the third one I felt my sanity slip away just a little bit more. Heck, anyone would go a bit more insane doing things on a computer that crashes every 5 minutes for a year. Why is it doing this, you ask? Well, see, the genius that is HP decided it would be a Good Idea (TM) to put a crappy low quality PSU into my computer. The stupid thing died and took the motherboard with it. The computer still works, it just crashes very frequently and can only support half the memory it used to, if that. It randomly decides when to and when not to work. It could go a whole week or two working fine with no hitches and then, suddenly, I get the big F U from the thing and can't do anything, not even typing in Notepad, without the thing crashing from the strain.
Thanks HP, you're a real help. I'm sure my sanity is much better off being lost in the countryside somewhere. Maybe it'll hitchhike back home, but I suspect it'll only get stabbed and dumped into a river. Oh well.
Good news, though: I'm getting a new motherboard. Hopefully that fixes all of my problems and I can stop ripping my hair out and smashing my face into my desk as hard as possible until the pain goes away. The thing cost $70, so it better damn well work or me and mistress luck are going to have some big problems. The big man in the sky will have to have a pair of motherboards surgically removed from his divine rectum.
It's also coming with a new tower, so my computer will look a bit different. Well, one step toward my $5,000 dream computer I've got planned sometime in the future.
