I forget to update my FB status for weeks and weeks and weeks (and to update my LJ, too), but the closer an exam gets and the more I should be studying, my postings go up exponentially!  From today ( Read more... )

Each class ticks by with 3000 seconds per period.  It's hard not to watch the clock.  Imaginative Writing turns into stories with him as a main character.  Physical Geography is simply torture.  Spanish II can be used to create silly phrases to say to him that evening.  In World Literature I store aside interesting factoids to toss into random ( Read more... )

I am so tired and exhausted, it's not even funny.  I'm not sleeping well, having female issues and migraines and not eating well because of those, either.  Ugh.

In odd news, I've been hit on a LOT these last couple weeks.  Probably has to do with the proximity of Valentine's Day and how that tends to make people more desperate than ever to find a ( Read more... )

Just a few things:

It's voting time over at LJI again!  Week 13, y'all!  I would covet your votes, and I encourage you to read as many others as you can and vote for your favorites!  The talent among this group astounds me every week.

I am down in Tribe 3 this week!  Yay for the re-absorption of   Tribe Redemption into the normal tribes!!

So today, my dearest michikatinski and I have decided to form a virtual book club!  Anyone wanting to join us is very welcome!  The way this will work will be that we all read the same book (duh), and then we discuss it at some point after everyone finishes.  I'm voting for a Skype group call to really chat about it, but perhaps there could be another way, all ( Read more... )

I come from a hard hit family in a dying city in a broken ( Read more... )

The most important piece of advise I ever got about writing was that if I was going to be a writer, then I have to write.  As simple as that sounds, any of you who do write know very well how hard that is.  We need time, inspiration, a decent project, the right mood, the right atmosphere.  We writers are pretty fussy, but the biggest two are time ( Read more... )

VOTING IS LIVE OVER AT LJIDOL!

You can find me in the top poll for Tribe Redemption!

Other fabulous reads are my dear michikatinski in Tribe 1,  and others I'll find as I keep reading through the polls.

I encourage you to read a whole lot of good writing, and to get your vote on!!!  It's a community only vote this week, so you'll need to be sure you've joined ( Read more... )
