Crunch Time

Okay, people, the title of the post says it all. November still seems like a long ways away, but it'll be here before we know it! I am still frantically searching for ideas for a story. I've come up with a couple, but then when I think about them for any length of time, they don't seem like they'll last. Aglah. Maybe I should just sit down and start writing and see what happens. No one ever said that the novel for NaNoWriMo had to make sense or be well-put-together.

Anyway I'm in between classes and I still have another half an hour before my next one starts. Yay. I'm sitting here in the library texting Susen back and forth. I suppose I could leave the library and then I could talk to her on the phone and someone else could have my computer. Maybe I will. We'll see...

Go me!

Hey I changed my Blog! I took out the Tagboard page altogether, which is a lot more complicated than it sounds, but I did it! Do you realize how exciting this is for me? maybe I'll actually create my own layout now.

Yeah, right. Me saying that I'll create my own layout is almost as bad as Chris saying that he'll create his own layout!

Haha...that was a joke, Chris.

Anyway, we'll see. The only thing I can seriously think about doing right now is going to bed!

Doing Well, Keeping Busy

That's what I always say these days when anyone asks me how I am. That's the understatement of a lifetime. I tell you, there are not nearly enough hours in the day. Isn't there some way we can do away with sleep altogether? I mean that's basically 8 hours of my day (night) where I could be doing something more useful like homework, or writing in my blog, or crocheting, or writing a story, or SOMETHING.

Bah.

They have these really cool keys at Home Depot (you know the area where you go to get a key copied?). They're Disney characters and they have princesses, Tinkerbell, Pooh, Tigger, and Nemo. If they had had Piglet, I SOO would have gotten one. I almost got one anyway, 'cause they're just so unique. Too bad they're just house keys, not car keys.

Speaking of cars, my uncle in Florida found me a car. It's a Ford Escort staton wagon. Definitely not my favorite kind of car (actually one of my least favorites) but station wagons aren't as bad, and still - it's something to drive and I won't have to depend on people to take me places anymore. I'll be getting it the beginning of November. I can't wait!!!

I was supposed to finish my Netflix movie tonight so I could send it back tomorrow, but I forgot until just now and now I need to go to bed. So. I guess I'll finish the movie tomorrow night instead.

Speaking of movies, I got two new piano books - Pride and Prejudice and The Phantom of the Opera. Awesome music, and I've actually been able to play the piano a little bit this weekend. Surprise surprise. But now the weekend's over and I likely won't have the opportunity to play anymore until [i]next[/i] weekend.

And by the way, on top of all this, I'm planning on doing NaNoWriMo next month. So, like Chris said, if you have any ideas I would greatly appreciate them.

Anywho, I'm going to bed now that I'm finished with my completely and totally random post. I have to work all day tomorrow, so if any of you try calling me and I don't answer - that's why.

Blog Piracy on the Intarrrrweb

To begin: I'm not Sam! I just wanted to get that out of the way.

I can't even post daily on my OWN blog. How crazy would it be if I started posting daily on Sam's instead?

Haaa. I'm not going to do that. I just wanted to spam post on her blog because, you know...somebody has to.

Anyway, Sam needs ideas for NaNoWriMo, which if you're new to the internet or illiterate is National Novel Writing Month, where folks around the world write novels in a month [if you hadn't gathered that by the subtle title of the event]. So give her some ideas for a fantasy novel because I've been assigned to motivate her to get in gear and type away until her fingers bleed or until she hits 50,000 words, whatever comes first.

And bug her constantly. Even more than usual.

Now, the fun part: seeing how long it takes her to see that I have SEIZED CONTROL. Muhahaha.

I'm Still Alive!

Yes, folks, it's true. I AM still alive. And I am back and posting some more. I'm sorry, I know you're all disappointed. BUT TOO BAD!

Lately my life has been filled with work and school. I don't feel busy, but I guess I really am, because I don't have any spare time really, to speak of. I enjoy it, though, for the most part. Chemistry is hard - especially last night, since he was getting into a lot more physic-y stuff. There's a reason that I didn't take physics here, people! A good one - I don't understand any of it. And let me tell you, trying to learn it in a public school doesn't make it any better or easier. But hey, whatever.

Work's going good, too, except now there's this guy there - kinda new, been there a little over a month or so - who's obsessed with me. I don't say that to be prideful in the least. Trust me, it's more of a nuisance than anything else. He got my phone number off of one of the other girls' phones, and has been text messaging and calling me NONSTOP until about a week ago. He really will not leave me alone. I don't want to be mean to him, but I've about had it. He just doesn't get the point!

A sixteen year old girl who (used to) live in my county killed herself on Saturday night. I don't know all the details, but the general story was that she was a white girl going out with a black guy. Just because it's 2006 doesn't mean that racism is dead, especially in the South. So people and school and stuff were picking on her - and when I say picking on her, I mean that they were being REALLY cruel and nasty to her. Stuff that shocked me when I heard it. (I also heard that her dad beat her when he found out, not sure of the truth value of that statement, though.) So she took a shotgun to her head. The sad thing is, she text messaged all her friends a few minutes before she did it, basically saying goodbye - and NO ONE texted her back. NOT A SOUL. Then her mom heard the gunshot and came running, found the girl's body, and went into shock. So SHE had to be rushed to the hospital. The funeral was today. The parents are talking about suing the school because they didn't do anything to stop the "teasing." Yeah, okay, since when is it the SCHOOL's responsibility to discipline someone else's kids?

Anywho...Oh yeah, I was in a car accident the beginning of September. Nothing major, except that my car was totalled. Now I gotta get a new one, and I think I'm going to buy a Ford Escort station wagon from my uncle. I hate Ford Escorts. But apparently it's a decent car in good shape, well taken care of, with not too many miles on it. And the station wagons ARE better. So it should be okay. I'll probably just keep it while I keep saving so I can get a nice car.

Other random facts about me lately:
- My ankle hurts.
- I just ate a horribly nasty Cappucino flavored Jelly Belly jelly bean.
- I went to the State Fair (didn't win any ribbons this year).
- I'm planning to go to FL in the winter.
- I can't think of anything else to say.
