I can't believe it. I missed the fucking deadline by an hour. I woke up last night freaking out because I didn't finish my challenge piece. I just spent the last three hours trying to fix this stupid character death piece and I've finally gotten it into something I kind of like. And I missed the deadline. Damn it all to hell. Now I'm pissed ( Read more... )

Thank God the deadline for the KFM challenge was extended. This is one challenge that I really want to participate in... I mean come on, the topic is "character death". I got an idea to take a piece that's been sitting half-finished on my hard drive since September, twist the ending so the character dies instead of lives, and post it. Problem is ( Read more... )

I've finally gotten around to scanning the pictures. Sadly, half of them didn't really turn out, because it was a cheap disposable, and I tried to take too many pictures at night. So, I've had to make due. But here are a few of them! (Warning: Some of them are pretty big, because my scanner went a little crazy. Just be aware)

Well, last night was both one of the best days of my life and one of the most miserable. It was freezing and it rained all night long... making any sleep impossible. But so many great things happened... okay, I'm going to start from the beginning and try to hit all the main points... hopefully I won't get too carried away, hehe ( Read more... )

I am so incredibly excited right now. Katy just walked out the door, and I'll be leaving in about an hour. I'm slightly disappointed though, because I won't be doing the actual walk anymore. I'm going to be one of the people helping to run the whole thing and keep it semi-organized. So instead of walking, they want me down at the park at 5 to ( Read more... )

I should have written this when I first saw the documentary, but I'm doing it now. A little while ago I mentioned the documentary Invisible Children. It's all about the war in Northern Uganda and the children that have been displaced and live in fear because of this. The war has been going on for 14 years now, but it remains out of the public ( Read more... )

More bits about writing. I am getting seriously excited about my writing classes next year, you have no idea. Hopefully, it won't even seem like work. Hehe. But I have to get through this semester first. All I really have to worry about is next week when over the period of three days, I have four papers, a presentation and a portfolio due. ( Read more... )

Well, I'll probably do a longer post later about my lovely interesting Easter (where I didn't sleep in the same place twice), but for now just a quick update. Tomorrow, I finally get to register for classes next semester and I was really freaking out earlier, but I am much better now. I met with my English advisor today and he basically told me ( Read more... )

I meant to write a long post last week about some of the things I saw recently, but I just never did it and now the motivation is gone. So I'm going to make this part short. I saw a documentary last week called Invisible Children. One of the most moving things I have seen, it talks about the problem in Uganda and how the children are forced to ( Read more... )

Well, I now am officially 20 years old. I feel no different, hehe. My mom seriously is having a hard time believing it though. So is my Aunt for that matter. Ha, I'm no longer a teenager. I like that. Anyway, the day itself really wasn't very good... I mean, what can you expect on a Monday where I have tons of work to do? Frankly, if it ( Read more... )
