Yes, I AM still alive

Yeah, I know, a little late.  Actually, a lot late.  I'm pretty much done with NaNo, finishing with about 30k.  I decided to only do it in November, unlike what the previous post said, and it was way fun and hard.
Mostly hard.
I'm still going to work on that story, but now my goal is to finish before the holidays.  This will be interesting with finals coming up...
I'll also be putting up the next part of Lady.  Promise.  As soon as I write it.
And on a random note: the boots I earned by allowing a sadistic nurse to put cold metal under my skin and squirt cold, demonic liquid into my bloodstream (Actually, the nurse who gave me my flu shot was very nice.  Albeit with a sadistic job) should come today!!!!  I'm so excited, especially because they look a little like Lightning's (from Final Fantasy XIII) boots.  I can't wait to get home!!!!See?  Lightning's boots...

and my boots.  Ok, not identical or anything, but I still think they look similar.
