And what exactly is a joke?

Oscar Wilde Wants Your Lunch"Oscar Wilde wants your lunch."   She looked up from her store-bought, prepackaged meal of miniature hot dogs to give me a sort of flat, sort of weirded-out, clearly not amused expression. It was not in the least atypical; I seem to get reactions like that from a lot of people.   "What?"   "Oscar Wilde wants your lunch," I repeated goofily. "He wants to eat your lunch, and you have to eat it before he takes it away from you."   She reached into the plastic container and pulled out a packet of mustard. "Can't he just go get one at the store?"   "No, he wants yours specifically."   "Wh Oscar Wilde Wants Your Lunch

Space Zeppelin Adventures - 2It was a short drive from Carolyn's house to Kurt Kilgore's garage. Kurt's garage was not technically his garage at all, nor was it a garage in the typical sense of the word. His uncle, you see, had been an airplane pilot before voluntarily relinquishing his pilot's license for the pursuit of mountain biking, and he had privately owned a great airplane hangar for the purpose of storing airplanes. Not that he actually owned any of the airplanes; he merely stored and sometimes flew them. He had given the hangar to Kurt, on the basis that "you might find something useful to do with it" (those were his exact words). It was, thusly, technically no Space Zeppelin Adventures - 2

Space Zeppelin Adventures - 1The alarm clock rang to announce the arrival of 6:30 AM. Carolyn Lewis reached her arm out towards the device to shut it off. Her eyes were closed and her head still hid underneath the covers. Relieved, she breathed outward and nestled in deeper amongst her entanglement of pillows, sheets and a bedcover. It's Saturday, she reasoned. I don't have to get up today. This, of course, was an exaggeration, as she knew she was going to have to get up out of bed sometime that day. But what she meant, of course, was that she did not have to get up early, and that was the issue that mattered to her.   I don't want to get up, Carolyn groaned de Space Zeppelin Adventures - 1

I think I previously said that I gave up on NaNoWriMo.

Well, guess what, guys?

I’m still not participating, but at least I’m writing something again.

Yep; last night at my Grandma’s house, I was in this fantastically manic state in which I dreamt up this great story. You see, I was telling her all about stories which are basically an account of a character’s journey in a strange land and contain a bunch of wacky things that don’t really have any sort of plot but are still cool. (Alice In Wonderland is an excellent example.) So then I got the idea to make my own. I was in this excellently manic frame of mind and I think reading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy inspired me, because I came up with this science fiction/comedy story. So I typed up a one-page summary of its first part.

Its working title is Space Zeppelin Adventures In Outer Space. The main character is Carolyn Lewis, whose friends Arthur Adams and Kurt Kilgore have built a space zeppelin called the Ruddy Biscuit. (Yes, that was entirely random. :XD:) It’s basically like those steampunk zeppelins, except it goes through space. Because it’s that cool. They invite Carolyn to take it for a test run with them. So they go on a bunch of wacky adventures in space. They visit the cheese shop on the Moon and pick up their friend Emilie (yes, as in Autumn; she’s a violinist), who is an anthropomorphic ferret and the descendent of genetic experiments in mixing human and animal DNA. She’s got a talking pet lemur named Emerson who is psychotic and goes with them. And there’s a boating expedition on Neptune (which I know is inaccurate, but it runs entirely on what TV Tropes would call “Rule of Cool” and “Rule of Funny”;). And there’s an intergalactic zoo and an alien beatnik. Named Gilly. :XD: That’s all I’m giving away for the moment. It’s heavily inspired by my (excessive) usage of TV Tropes, in which I use and lampshade many tropes that I like. The story’s entire purpose is to provide a setting for things that I think are either cool or funny. It’s the sort of book that I would consider perfect lunchtime reading. (Yes, I read while eating lunch.)

You’re all gonna love it.

Hi. I'm Pippin. That isn't my real name. My real name is Bonnie. Pippin, however, is the one I use online all the time so it's what you call me. If you don't like it, you can leave. Or call me Bonzo. Or call me Jude. Take your pick.

I live in Southern California. And I have an American accent. Although I frequently use an English accent. Someday I want to live there, or at least go there.

My life mostly consists of drawing, writing, my hamster Strawberry, school, my friends (especially Kolya, my best friend with whom I am going to run away and form a rock band when we're old enough), my music...oh gosh, I love my music. Mostly classic rock, psychedelic rock and indie rock. (Top favorite bands are Neutral Milk Hotel, Pink Floyd/Syd Barrett, the Doors, the Beatles, and Talking Heads.) And I'm in some rock bands, too - Torch, Plant on Premises, the R.A.S. Project, and the Backseat Band, none of which you have most likely heard of. I also have a very prolific solo career as Pippin Sparks.

You know you want to know what this is.

I am interested in psychology (especially mental disorders and depression), have Aspergers' Syndrome, hyperlexia and synesthesia. Look 'em up. (I've believed myself to have had hypomania, bipolar disorder and depression at different times of my life as well.) I also have a music blog, The Droning Volume.

I am simutaneously asexual (though pansexual in my fangirling) and genderqueer. I will now quote my friend Phee and say look them up, then get over it.

I love psychedelic art/music/writing/thought but I am very much opposed to the drugs aspect of it. I'm what I call a "Pure Stater" (that is, psychedelic without the drug-taking). Surrealism, abstract art, expressionism, impressionism, dadaism and pop art are awesome. So is Jackson Pollock.

Dali, Van Gogh and Warhol are awesome. Syd Barrett, Jeff Mangum, John Lennon and Freddie Mercury are awesome. Monty Python and Mr. Bean are awesome. British humor is awesome. British accents are awesome. Britain is awesome. Punk, DIY and mock beatnik-ism (ooh, and real beatnik-ism!) are awesome. Funky knee socks are awesome. Lots of things are awesome.

Cheers.

Your art has been referenced in my drawing. If you wish for the reference label to be removed, I will do so and no one will find it. If you want to keep it there you don't really need to say anything (but you may if you wish)

Oh wow, you referenced my stuff in your art? That's awesome! Thank you for doing that, actually. (Admittedly, I'm unable to detect the references, but then again, I have an awfully hard time reading small text, and I'm probably not looking hard enough anyway.) But thank you for doing that, actually!

Pip, were you the one who made a Jimmy Page plushie? I remember there being me, and Olspal, but she didn't transfer the picture to her new account. And there was one last plush.

No, I never did. In fact, I never made any plushie. (Although, I do recall telling you that I was thinking about doing so, so I can see how you might have thought I did.)
