3:04 pm	Ha! In Your Face, NaNoWriMo! (dances around happily like a crazy person for a full 12 hours, then makes this post.) Ahem. I got 50k words yesterday, if you can't tell. I kept writing, and am now at roughly 56k ... Liz and I word warred. For hours. I think I wrote more yesterday than I ever have in my life. *rubs eyes* Anyway, there's still probably another thousand or so for the first draft, and then I get to ... dun dun dun! ... edit. *facepalm* I hate editing more than anything else in the writing process, and I'm not looking forward to it at all, especially since I kept a running doc of things that needed changed/added/cut and know exactly how much work I have ahead of me. But I go back to the finals cram on Monday. The pile of homework I put off during November is lying on my desk, and I'm going to have to go back to the real world. Soul-Healer will be put on the VERY back burner. :( So, I guess I better finish that first draft today, huh? Off to write!

8:22 pm	Overwhelming... I knew last week that this week was going to be insane. I think I must have blocked it out of my mind, though, because all of a sudden I feel like I'm drowning. I had a paper due, a quiz, and three short stories to read for today. Tomorrow I'm going to be writing the 10 page paper I have due on Wednesday, along with the one due Friday since I'm not going to class that day, then going to math for a review and after that, work. Wednesday is my already long day - three more short stories due, along with aforementioned ten page paper, two hours of spanish, and three hour lecture block. Thursday is work, math exam, and off to see New Moon with the besties, Friday is up to submit last paper before Thanksgiving break, back to sleep, work, and then home for an entire week on Saturda. If I can just make it through this week, I'm in the clear. Just this week. I can do it. (TWA Mods, if I'm a bit incommunicado this week - that's why. Heh. I shouldn't be gone for too long, but just in case.) Oh, guess what? Over halfway on the NaNo. I hat 27k during psych class today. ;) Current Mood: stressed Current Music: Jack's Mannequin - Holiday (a cappella) (2 Comments |Comment on this)

1:17 pm	Blah, blah, blah ... The best feeling in the entire world is when you get tests back that you were sure you failed and see that you got a B or an A on them. That happened to me three times this week, and I'm pretty floored. (Insert obnoxiously happy smiley here.) I don't get to go home this weekend though; I have three papers and two exams next week that I have to be ready for before the New Moon premiere Thursday night/Friday morning. Eep. It's gonna be some weekend. Stuck in the school house with the only roommate I don't like with all of my friends gone ...  (Insert unhappy smiley here.) Pretty much the only other thing I've been doing lately - besides school, I mean - is NaNo. I broke 17k words last night - after deleting about 730 accidentally. The other TWA ladies have been great about keeping me motivated *coughcoughLiz,Nat, and Nicolecoughcough* Our Mod chats are more like all out Word Wars these days ... hell yes, we get stuff done!

12:07 pm	NaNo Update So, Soul-Healer - my NaNoWriMo project - is coming along swimmingly. lol. I'm at a little over 3000 words and still going. It's kind of difficult for me to write since it's so different from my usual style ; third person omniscient, anyone? With an evil MMC and VERY Christian FMC, I'm kind of scared it's going to turn kind of angsty. Not to mention that the first part seems really ... dark and detached when I go back and reread. I think I'm going to put at least some of it up on TWA, so you'll be able to read it then. Unless you're not a TWA member, in which case you should be. :P Eh, we'll see where it goes. In other news - one of my friends just informed me that she bought tickets to the midnight premiere of New Moon, and I am going with her. Ok. Well... since I've kind of grown out of that phase, I'm a little scared. But why not? It'll be a good excuse to have a party with all my high school friends, and I haven't seen a lot of them since summertime. Doodadooda. Off to NaNo before class.

10:28 pm	Prolouge of Untitled. I was playing around with a plot for a dream I had a while back about a conwoman who had so many personalities she didn't remember who she was ... and I ended up writing a prolouge when I should have been writing Reincarnate. So, I gave this project a week - and this is what came of it. I'm planning on scrapping what I have and starting over for NaNoWriMo, so I'm posting this here for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!   ( Read more... ) Current Mood: creative Current Music: ESPN - shudder (Comment on this)

2:03 am	Reincarnate Due to a recent outbreak of plagiarism on fictionpress, I've decided to stop posting there. Well, almost - I'll be leaving my fluff mini-fic, Unseeing Wisdom, there, since I have no plans of publishing it, or even editing it. However, Unveiled and Reincarnate have both been removed from there, which makes me sad. I was plagiarized three times - once for Unseeing Wisdom - apparently Matt isn't a good enough name for a lead character, so this person copied and pasted my story, changed the name to Amadeus, of all things, and reposted it, putting their name on it. Unveiled was plagiarized twice - once by a young girl on her blog, and once on Fictionpress, where they didn't bother changing ANYTHING.... they were even updating the same days I did, about an hour later. All the copies have been removed, thankfully, but the damage has been done. The good news is - since there were only three instances, I am still willing to post Reincarnate and Unveiled, as well as any future pieces I may write, on here. So, I'm starting tonight, I am posting Reincarnate first. So, here it is, the fruit of my labor for the last, uhm... /counts on fingers/ eight months. Chapter One of Reincarnate. If you read, drop me a comment so I know you're reading, huh? That way I won't decide to stop posting on here and leave you hanging because I don't know you exist.

9:15 pm	Whew! Wow, its been a while since I posted on here. Things have been totally nuts lately. Senior year is nothing like I was expecting. It seems like everyone is different and has their own agenda, even the friends I've had for years. I don't know anything anymore, everything feels like it's tilting a way I dont want it to. Most important things first. College. I went to visit Mansfield, and I really liked it. I've got it narrowed down to three, and am hopefully going to apply sometime this week. PSU, Mansefield, and IUP. I like all of them, and I don't know what I'm gonna do if I  get into all three. It'll probably come down to wherever gives me the most financial aid. Joy. Money problems. If I don't get a bunch of aid and loans, Im not going to college. End story. My parents can't co-sign because they have their own student loans, and I'm not applicable for financial aid. What am I gonna do, you ask? Wish I knew. My creative writing class is a joke. My teacher -- not even a professor -- is a total ass that spends more time bashing religion than teaching. He also hates 'abstract' poetry, which is apparently what I'm good at. It's a lot of work for nothing. I'm also taking two other dual enrollment classes this year, and another actual college class in the spring. When I start college, my whole first semester will be done. That's really the only good thing that's gonna come out of it. I only have one more football game ever. One. It's totally surreal -- I had senior night, got a rose, oh, and Mr. Gable came back to visit. The only thing he said to me was, "Is that a sax?" I just kinda laughed. So much work! Band and county chorus crap has been keeping me away from home, and as soon as that's all over -- Nov. 1 -- county and district band practices start, as long with district chorus. I gave up my homeroom to take spanish and do show choir, and it's a nightmare. No free time at all. Then, drama will start in December, and jazz band, and I started voice lessons again, oh, and Darya and I are giving a concert in December for the grange. Let's see, what else is going on? Oh, senior project. Me and Amanda Krause are doing the programs for the drama production this year, so that'll be some more stress when drama season comes around. I really want a lead! REALLY!  Still no license... no time for a job, no time for practicing, no time for breathing! I'm still in my Jonas phase, and I'm looking forward to trying NaNoWriMo in November, too.... I'm never gonna meet the mark, but I have a great outline and plan, so I'm psyched. I've recently gotten into Chick lit -- Sarah Dessen books are awesome, and Meg Cabot books make me giggle. I'm so ready for Christmas. I need more reading material! Well, I should go -- I'm running out of things to whine about, and I want to read fanfiction, or at least write some.  I'll give y'all an update soon.

11:45 pm	Wow, it's been a while. I've been reading back over my other entries, and, boy, was I wrong about a ton of stuff. I havent had to deal with shity choral director since school let out, and that got rid of a ton of stress. I got through all my singing gigs and did reasonably well, and I went on a college visit at PSU... and discovered I actually have a decent chance of gettin in *fingers crossed*.  Um... let's see. Band with the new director. Ugh. Well... I've discovered that I really like Mrs. Sproull as a person, but I'm not sure about her as a band director. She tries to be too strict... rules worse than Mr. Gable... but she lets people break them all the time, which doesn't let us respect her. But we still look pretty good, so I don't really know. Oh, on the band page... I'm randomly playing sax instead of piccolo now. We needed more saxes, so I switched... for my last year in band. Weird, huh?  Oh, and my last parade ever was the Clearfield parade on Monday... we won, and I seriously cried. I'm never going to march with the West Branch Warrior Band during the summer again. Scary. I have no idea what to make of that... anyone else? Let's see... I got my senior pics done... they're gorgeous. I still don't have my license... I can't get it until I get a job, which is kinda hard over here...  Becky got a job working at  Greenwich... Greenhills? Village as a PCA nurse in State College... I found an obsession in the Jonas Brothers, yes I am as lame as I sound... I loved Camp Rock. I went to Disney with the Band and registered for a college class that starts the day before school does -- creative writing, and it's sounding like a lot of fun. Breaking Dawn comes out the day after tommorrow, and I'm going to the Midnight Release party tommorrow night... so excited! Well... that's really it, I think. Nothing big happening in Morrisdale, as always. Well... I've got to get up early for eye appt tomorrow, so I'm hitting the hay. Nightie night!

6:49 pm	So, I finished the last of my finals today, and am officially a senior. Whoo!!!!! Just one more year of the Hell we call high school. Everything's gonna be pretty mellow now... just hanging out in class rooms til Friday. Plus, I'm mentoring the little kids' field day Wed, and we don't have school Thurs, so this week is basically just tommorrow. Yay.  We started marching band today with our new director. It doesnt seem too different yet...although, she was an elementary teacher before, so she treats us like we're all children, but that's a minor thing. There's this new chick in my section.... she doesn't talk. At all. Ah! I babble, in case you haven't noticed, and it's torture to sit and talk to someone who refuses to answer you back. Other than that, nothing much to report there.  I think the gang and I are planning some big party thing Wednesday night... that should be fun. We're gonna burn all of our school crap and roast s'mores over it. Symbolic, right? Camping was disscussed, but I think I vetoed that. *fervrent sigh* I hate camping. Then, I think we're just heading to Becky's for a movie night to celebrate our new seniority. Tim may not be included... Becky's kinda iffy about him right now.  Darya is talking about going to school in London. Appparently, there's a big call for immigrants over there... and she is from Russia, so that would be good. And, the top architectural engineering school is over there, so of course she's drooling at the prospect.  I'm starting to really look at colleges now... Gannon, PSU, Mansefield, and Clarion are my top choices. I think I'm gonna apply to all of them and see where I get accepted. If I don't get into PSU main, I'm not going there. Branches suck.  Becky's looking at something near Pittsburg... Messiah? I don't know... apparently, it has an excellent nursing program, which is what she wants. Personally, I don't care where she goes, as long as she gets out of that house. I hate her parents. long story.  Tim is definitely going out of state, so we're probably going to lose touch. I don't know how I feel about that.  Why am I talking about all of this? Because early admission starts in August. Which means I have to figure out where I want to be admitted. Plus, it just feels like everything is shifting. I got called a senior for the first time today... wierd. Really, really wierd.  Well, I promised my readers that as soon as finals were over that I'd start wrting again... I"m off to fulfill that promise.  Adieu.

10:44 pm	Utter Insanity... Ok, I'm checking out all the things going on this summer into my senior year...  Marching band with new director.  Chorus with psycho director. Yes, I decided to stay in it. Why? I have no idea.  Show Choir. With same psycho director. Do I have a death wish?  District Choir. I must be suicidal. Our school is hosting county choir, I'm on the comittee. Rev your razors, ladies and gents.  Concert band and jazz band with new director. Shouldn't be too bad... Senior year of drama with new 'family friendly' requirements. Hate the new superintendent.  Student government with new directors. Why is everyone retiring? Senior pictures. Re-taking SAT's. I only got an 1110 without writing. Not good enough to get me into PSU main.   Mission trip and other Youth Group stuff.  Florida Trip.  Family Vacation.  My 17th birthday.  Getting my drivers license. Finally! Applying to colleges.  Hanging out with friends -- their 18th b-days are coming up! Dual enrollment --college classes in highschool --. AP English. College Prep Writing.  Senior Wills.  Senior Nights.  Breaking Dawn is released.  Getting all my community service hours -- neccessary to graduate. Damn.  Senior project(s). National Honor Society.  SInging for Church and at Bryan Ennis's memorial thing.  Dreading the future.  So, I'm officially terrified of being a senior. Anyone else sharing this sentiment? Everything feels like it's happening at once, and I"m not ready. I'm beginning to wonder if my novel's ever going to be finished! At least school's winding down... finals are this week. Wish me luck, and everyone have a great holiday! (Comment on this)

1:13 pm	Update... So, I got back from District Band yesterday, missed regions by two. Not that I mind... it was terrible. So long and boring... and I was tired the entire time because we were up at six and not in bed til midnight. Ugh. And the bed I was sleeping in at my host family's place... who were all insane, I'm positive, was way to short and I kept banging my toes off of the bottom. All in all, it was miserable. My whole body hurts...especially my arm from holding up my flute. On the up side, I met a guy there who is gorgeous, and really nice. Too bad I won't ever see him again... he's a senior. Well, yesterday was Darya's birthday, so Tim, Becky, Sav and I are headed to her place again... we were just there last weekend for movie night... and spending the night, then we're going ice skating and out to eat tommorow, since there's no school.  I have a ton of homework that I should be doing, but I'm not. My AP midterm is a take home essay, and I need to study for the rest of them, they're all this week. Goody. I should probably sign up for the SAT's too, but I dont want to.  Well, I'm gonna go procrastinate more on the Twilight Archives.... Current Mood: stressed Current Music: Silence of The Lambs... ugh.

Anyway, I got to drive in the rain for the first time today... it was pouring. I thought I was in Forks for a while, actually. I'm almost finished with the first chapter of What Could Have Been... it turns out that I already had half of it written and forgot about it. How 'bout that? Well, I've got to go make cookies for our Christmas Eve Party tomorrow... so have a great day, and if I don't post before, a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! Current Music: Deck the Halls. Of Course!

8:32 pm	I Lied... Well, I'm bored out of my mind already, so I'm posting again. Oh well. I just got a whole bunch of new icons that I can't wait to use... and no one's updating anything on here. Grr.  Oh well.  So, we started making cookies today... we won't get as many made as we usually do considering we usually take an entire week to bake them all, but oh well.  I can't wait for drama to start! I'm so excited about having this part... fun!  I finally started writing a new Twilight story... I figured that my Blood Ties one could be thrown to the wayside since I'm doing the virtual season. It's called What Could Have Been, and is Jacob-centric. It's about what could have happened to Jake if Edward had never left Bella and she had never gone to La Push... he would never have fallen in love with her, and he would be able to find someone else and enjoy being a werewolf. Or would he?  Anyway, I'm going to Darya's on Thursday to work on the song, it'll be good.  I so can't wait for Christmas, my sibs are already counting the presents under the tree. 53, according to my mathematically acclimated sister. Seriously, can't wati.  Well, I'm done babbling, for now. Have a great day! Current Mood: bored Current Music: The Bourne Ultimatum (Comment on this)

8:18 pm	Today... I did, in fact, get to go shopping today, and it was a blast. I spent the night at Becky's with Darya and Amanda, and we talked forever.  We got up at seven this morning, even though we were skipping school, and headed out by eight thirty. Everyone met us at Sheetz and we had breakfast, then, we were off to the Mall!  Becky ditched me all day, but I hung out with Timmy Jay and Darya, so it was still great.  While we were in the mall, Amanda's boyfriend Patrick called our drama director to find out about the casting list... I got more good news.... I got the role of  Mabel, a supporting lead, who is explained in the last post. Of course, I couldn't act excited because Savvy was there and no one else got big parts, but still -- *jumps up and down excitedly* Darya and I dropped Becky off at work and ate at the Dairy Diner, then headed to State College. We went to Wal Mart and Barnes and Noble, where we spent an hour and a half purusing. And buying. Did I mention the buying? I'm almost broke. Oh well, I got books to hold me over til Christmas, anyway. Then, we started writing a song for chorus on the way home, here's what we have so far, minus the melody, obviously: It is eternal always and forever. Two souls, two hearts, two minds entwined together.  We're adding harmony and everything, and we're going to try and get Stilson to let the chorus sing it for the Spring Concert. We're going to meet at her house over Christmas break and finish it and write it down, including notes, key, and dynamics. I am so excited!  Well, this is probably it for a while, as the Hols are nearly upon us. Maybe I'll post after Christmas... I don't know. It'll depend on what happens that's interesting. Ciao!

8:09 pm	Call Backs... So, I found out today that I got a call back for a supporting lead in the Pajama Game. Her name's Mabel, and she's an old gossipy lady. It would be so fun to play her... only problem is that one of my friends... who sings as well as I do, and is a year older, is going for the same part. They'll probably give it to her, if for no other reason but becuase she's older. I know this is fair, because I expect the same thing next year, but still.... plus, I don't want her to get pissed at me if I get it and she doesnt. Drama club is so dramatic... and not in a good way.  So, on a lighter note, I fixed up the last chapter of A Prettty Strange Love Story on Twilight Archives... it makes a lot more sense now. I like it, and am ready to keep writing.  I submitted a piece for a writing sample on Blood Ties Virtual Season... not so sure about that one. It'll be interesting to see what they say.  Well, wish me luck at call backs, and at my voice recital, also tomorrow night, and I'll post later. Hey, Wait. Hope that my parents let me skip school on Friday.... I want to shop! Current Mood: excited Current Music: I'll Never Be Jealous Again... for callbacks. (Comment on this)
