potentialities

Plastic bags are going to be our species' lasting contribution to this planet. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

I know what you mean. Granted, I come from a place where it's normal to recycle them a lot, but still, one can only get so much use out of one bag. It's a sobering thought that one day the earth may run out of people of my line, and that plastic bag would still be out there steadfastly resisting the ravages of time.

As for NaNoWriMo, please, PLEASE don't give up. I like your writing very much (InuTez love is surprisingly awesome), and while I haven't seen any sample of your novel-in-progress (you don't seem to have it posted), I sure would be glad when you finish it. So NaNo on!
