Well yesterday I finished the last of a 4 part "Ode to My 8th Grade Year" which I'll hopefully post sometime within the next week or two. Then, even better, I penned and posted my "Dark Carnival" somewhat-of-a-Larxel. And, to top it all off, I revised C.O. ch.6. Yes, I do believe I have brought it back from the verge of hiatus.

Thank goodness I have no school tomorrow and summer vacation is not too far off. Might be even more productive in both situations. Yes, I am very pleased with myself.

Wow, is this actually going to be a short entry? Yikes. No quotes to report, I'm afraid, but I'll keep my ears open. Thanx for everyone who reads!


My Clubs so far:

Put up Ch.6 of C.O. (might put that on hiatus...might not. Who knows?) and will hopefully write something tomorrow. Maybe it's spring fever, but I can't seem to do ANYTHING writing-wise. Sure, I've got an insane amount of notes and ideas, but getting it all down on paper...even more getting it down and LIKING it...ugh, it's hard work. Whoever said writing was a "hobby" was insane.

Hooray! 25 days of school, even less with exams! Then I shall be DUMDUMDUM a big bad sophmore! Bwhahaha new freshmans, beware!

*looks at above paragraph. pauses.*

Hmmm let's see...bad use of spelling/grammar, nothing remotely coherent...And I'm not even on a sugar/Dr.Pepper high. *sigh* Ah, well. Anyways...

A few things I've been wanting to do lately:
--Napoleon of the Opera, an AU on my favorite musical. Will be all comedy and randomness. Often will stray from the original books/movie/play. A project I abandoned going on 3 years ago.
--An original science fiction called "The Neverland Project", which orphaned children will be hooked up via the brain and forced to survive in a dangerous yet beautiful paradise filled with robots, pirates, and Lost Boys.
--And, of course, songfics and oneshots. "Right Here Waiting" by Staind for Kairi x Riku, and Quote-Inspired onesided Kagura x Kyo.

Someone help my indecision. My writing (and sanity) hangs in the balance.

And now for something completely different: your regularly scheduled chaos, or, QUOTES!

Laura: You HAVE to have SOMETHING to talk about. You always do. You are the master of wasting time!
Me: Dude, is that a compliment?

Me: I think "Love Me Dead" (by Ludo) is the perfect drunk emo song.
Laura: I think YOU'RE the perfect drunk emo song.
Me: Thank you, thank you.
Laura: You're welcome.

Lauren: Yesss, there is hope somewhere!
Me: Right beside of you?

Taylor (to Lauren): I hope you smash your face into a juicebox!

Oh, and I've been joining a lot of clubs lately. Here's the ones I've been accepted into so far. Hopefully there'll be more shortly:

Let's see...today I had to stand onstage in our auditorium and deliver a poem not once but TWICE to my peers (once in English and then in Creative Writing). I tried to get out of it the second time, but my teacher sweetly squeezed my arm (cutting off my circulation with her iron grip) and sweetly said "no, I want you to do it again." GRRR. So I did, and I wasn't as nervous that time. My poem was A Boat Beneath a Sunny Sky by Lewis Carroll, the guy who wrote Alice in Wonderland. It goes like this:

A boat beneath a sunny sky
Lingering onward dreamily
In an evening of July

Children three that nestle near
Eager eye and willing ear
Pleased a simple tale to hear

Long has paled that sunny sky
Echoes fade and memories die
Autumn frosts have slain July

Still she haunts me phantomwise
Alice moving under skies
Never seen by waking eyes

Children yet the tale to hear
Eager eye and willing ear
Lovingly shall nestle near

In a Wonderland they lie
Dreaming as the days go by
Dreaming as the summers die

Ever drifting down the stream
Lingering in the golden gleam
Life, what is it but a dream?

I think it's a great poem, and it was ridiculously easy to memorize. But still, thank goodness it's all over.

A few weeks ago I entered the Teachers Light the Way contest sponsored by Land's End and my teacher wrote at the bottom of my paper, "If I had to choose the winner, I'd choose yours", so I kind of got a swelled head, but I told myself the odds of me winning anything were slim. Very very slim. Well today it turns out some girl in my Creative Writing class got Honorable Mention, and my teacher was all "Her essay was amazing", etc. etc. And I was like "HELLO?!" and turning green. I'll admit I'm (insanely) jealous, and I keep hoping maybe Land's End is taking it's time contacting me to tell me I won...But oh well, life's unfair, ain't it?

Well, QUOTE TIME! It's not much, but here:

Lauren: We sound like cows.
Taylor: Are you calling us fat?!


Alec: They just don't make pencils like they used to. A few years ago I could go a whole year on just one pencil.
Courtney: Yeah, I know...
Me: 0_o


DEEP THOUGHT BY ME!

They seriously need to figure out a way to get rid of the excess cheese that gets on your fingers after you eat cheetos. That way you wouldn't have to get up, wash your hands, dry them, AND THEN come back to the computer to type. It'd save, like, 30 seconds. I mean, you can just stick the bag up to your mouth and shake the cheetos in, but if someone catches you it's kind of awkward...

Haha. How retarded is THAT?!


--no kidding, right after I posted the above paragraph I was shaking the cheeto bag when my mom walks by and goes "are you sticking that in your mouth?!" I was like, "Well, uh..." AWKWARD!

Let's see...my weekend was pretty cool. Saturday we went out and had Chinese/Japanese for lunch at our local Beijing restaurant (I ate 5 different kinds of sushi! California roll is still my all-time favorite). Then we made an "emergency stop" at Circuit City and I got my game "The World Ends With You."

Let's see...how to explain it...You start out as Neku (he looks like Kingdom Hearts' Sora, but acts completely different), a boy who wakes up in the middle of a crosswalk with no memory of his past. He quickly finds out he has to play a "game", which consists of him, his chosen partner, and other "players" completing 1 mission a day for 7 days. If they don't, they are erased. The missions can range from simply defeating Noise (monsters that resemble various animals, from penguins to kangaroos), or helping save a failing ramen noodle restaurant.

Neku reluctantly partners up with a girl named Shiki (looks like KH's Kairi), and they meet up with two other gamers, Beat (FF VIII's Seifer) and Rhyme. They go against Reapers and those in charge of the game (the specific name escapes me). There's a lot of action, mystery, and at least three curveballs that I never ever saw coming. Seriously people, if you have a DS you need to get this game. Even if you have never played a Square Enix title (Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts), you should get this. It is THAT good.

Anyway, after that we went to the library and went home and watched a movie or two (and I progressed in my game). Sorry I didn't post anything--I was either in gaming mode or my sister was hogging the computer.

Sunday consisted of me and the fam driving to and from Mount Airy for Dad's revival meeting, going to church, and playing TWEWY even more.

And--DUN DUN DUN--today I was sick. My throat was sore, and I had a temperature, so I laid out of school. Good thing we didn't do much. Watched some old, dearly missed cartoons--Mike, Lu, and Og and Hey Arnold, watched a lot of the news, and played my game again.

ZOMG the Miley Cyrus picture story kills me. She claims she thought it was "artistic" to pose half nude and now she says it was a mistake (because she didn't think people would react so negatively, duh!). It just shows what a ditz she is. What is it with young stars thinking they have to do risque pictures? It makes whoever the model is look sleazy. I would NEVER even think about doing something like that--my parents would kill me! Well, it appears that the squeaky clean name of Miley Cyrus/Hannah Montana has just gotten a little dirty. 'Bout time.
