bitchy_merlinTHE PLOTBUNNIES, THEY ARE EATING ME ALIVE!
Dear brain (...uh, temporal lobe? That's memory and stuff, right?)
No. No, I don't want your input on these matters. No, I do not want to bolt awake at god-knows-when in the morning with an idea for Arthur/Francis BDSM. No, I do not want to write it, thanks for asking. AND WOULD YOU PLEASE STOP SUPERIMPOSING THAT ONE IMAGE OF ROME OVER MY LATIN TEXTBOOK?! Is it not enough that you've spewed out at least ten prompts during the last month, all of which I've felt compelled to start? Don't you know they're not going to go anywhere if every sentence I write is just another "o hai, I should write this too!".
Dear V.S. Naipaul,
YOU'RE NOT HELPING. "Fuck like an Englishman!"? Seriously? Seriously?
Mind bogglingly,
Sarah
Also, I have this urge to turn our bio lessons into sci fi snippets. C'mon, the nervous system? Homeostasis?
"Move quickly!" she said. "We must travel through the Forest of Dendrites to reach the Sacred Synapse! We've got to hurry, or else we'll be swept up the wave of depolarization as it strikes terror into the Axon with its evil minions, the S'Odiums!"
"You're right!" exclaimed Potas Sium beside her, "if we don't get the Pulsimay to the Synapse in time, the whole world of Neu'ron will be reset and we will become lifeless beings, unable to feel a thing! We must transmit this message!"
"Here," interrupted the strong and energetic NaK, "I'll hold the Depolarizer off as long as possible. You two just get to the Nodes of Ranvier as fast as possible! Tell Lord Ranvier--"
"Wait," she said, "Ranvier is real? I thought the Nodes were just a children's tale."
"No, they are certainly real," said NaK. "And very powerful. Through them, Lord Ranvier will use the magic of the Saltatrix Conductiva to speed your journey immensely. Tell him that you need Myelin's Sheath - he'll understand! Now go!"
"Goodbye NaK!" they cried as they turned and set out on their fantastic journey - to save the world of Neu'ron.
...Look, I never said the snippets would make sense.
