New beginnings
heeeeeeey y'all. So I woke up at 2:30pm today. That was pretty awesome. Though, then again I did stay awake all last night until 5am. Heh. I was reading an old rp. It was nice. It was a pirates of the caribbean rp that Myself and my buddy had started about 4 years ago. And in it, the development of my writing was very visible. I found myself falling in love with old characters that I had forgotten existed, and coming up with idea, and wishing I had done some things differently to flesh out a character, or to flesh out a scene. Some of my women were a little... transparent and, unfortunately, very predictable. But I've been trying to work on that.
I love going back and reading old rps. Specifically for the reason of learning from the mistakes that I made back then. I am 10times the writer now than I was back then, but I'm still not where I want to be just yet. It's hard though, since Goodreads deleted a lot of my rps that I had started 5 years ago, when I had first joined this website. It was very sad to have all of that work ripped from me, never to be seen again... but I try not to think about ti too much. It just makes me mad.
When I got up today, I ate some pizza and sat down on my couch, unsure of what I was going to do with my day. Instead of doing something productive like I should have been doing, I turned on my computer, and Went onto Netflix, watching a few episodes of Supernatural. I love that show. It sometimes scares the bejesus out of me. But I love it anyway. Sam and Dean are really good looking.
But jeez... those boys know how to get themselves in trouble. Poor Dean though. The fact that everyone is after him because of a damn shapeshifter. I feel bad for him and catch myself wishing that I could give him a clean slate so that he could get on with his life for real.
But I also feel Bad for Sam... Poor kid. Always having to worry about his destiny. I hope Dean doesn't have to kill him in the end. Though, you know the fact that Supernatural has 8 seasons, makes me wonder whether or not They ever get rid of the yellow eyed demon. I sure hope they do, cause that bugger is annoying.
Sorry about that. I get off on tangents some times.
Anyway! Mom came home later and then my family and I went out to dinner. We went to chillis, yummy. I wasn't very nice to my brother tonight though. hehe. He ordered steak, broccoli and salmon. I then proceeded to tell him house the Cows were killed for their meat, and that freaked him out. Then I told him that broccoli comes from the heads of little nature gnome, and that they all die of old age so that they don't feel anything. Then I continued to say things like, "Can you hear their screams?" Haha. I'm bad. King of. My brother couldn't eat after that. :P So he just ate his salmon.
On another note, I've been talking to this girl... She's really cool, and really cute, and has a great personality. She's 17, so a year younger than I am, and she lives on island, yay! Though she lives on the other side of the island... noooo... *sad face*
I'm excited to meet her. She wants to come over tomorrow, but I'm trying to get her to do something else instead. I wonder if she'll go to the beach with me... hmmm... That would be cool.l :) I'll ask her that.
Alrightly well... I'm still uncertain about how to use blogs really, so I'll just keep writing everyday until someone tells me to stop. :P Though since I'm doing this for school, I can't really stop until my mother tells me to do so. Hehe.
Goodnight everyone. Have a lovely evening. :)

Aha!
Alrighty, Well now that I know what Blogs are for... or at least... I kinda know, I'll be using this one more often.
When I can't decide is whether or not I should use it for creative writing updates/stories/thingies, or if I should just put up updates. I mean my blog will be part of my school work so the content will be a little bit random...
I'm not sure if I should use is as a personal journal, or if I should write about specific things... like politics(ew) or cooking. We shall see, we shall see. But, I think my mother will want me to put my 3 page pageant "article" on wherever I do my blog... and since its free on Goodreads, I think I might do it on here.
Decisions, decisions.
On another, random note, has anyone seen Frozen? Best movie ever. :P I love Elsa. I drew picture of her and Olaf the other day. It actually looks pretty nice. I also adore the sound track. Let it go is my FAVORITE song. I sang it so much last week that I actually lost my voice and couldn't sing ANYTHING for... 4 days. It was pretty bad.
Did any of you see that plot twist with Hans? I thought that was brilliant, and I got so mad! He was so nice... why did he have to be a bad guy? Dang it. Though I did like Kristoff better anyway, so I guess everything worked out okay.
I've seen it 3 times now, and I'm gonna go see it again next week saturday with my friends. Yaaaay. The friend that I'm going with actually only saw it for the first time a few days ago, and she can't get Let it Go out of her head. And I pointed out that it probably fit the situation she's in right now, and she hit me! lol. But she loves me so it's okay.
She's having some serious drama with another girl that sings in our choir, and she got me all involved and I just wont hear the end of it! I love her and all, but i really don't know if I can take it anymore... she needs to get over it so that she can find piece and get on with her life. My goodness.
Alright, well now that I've gone on a rant, I might as well continue.
So I am also having some major drama issues right now... but wait, maybe I should save this for later? Cause then I can write about it as a fictional character! No? Have I peaked your curiosity already? Alright fine. The drama I'm having is with my infamous father.
His eldest brother just died from a stroke, and I was at the hospital with my cousins, supporting them and being there for them while he was in Maryland, watching his brother die of the phone(facetime)!
My cousins decided to hold a memorial for my uncle, and I asked my father if he was going to go. He took a simple question, and accused me of trying to tell him something he didn't know about his family!
Little did he know that I had been spending a lot of time with his side of the family while he was off pissing everyone off(at least that's how my cousins put it. None of them really like him).
But so when I told him that I wasn't trying to tell him about his family he told me that I needed to be careful about what I said, and that it was sad that I still couldn't think for myself and that mom was putting ideas into my head.
I kind of flipped out a little bit. Who is he to think that I don't have my own ideas? He has seen or talked to me in years! How would he know? He doesn't know anything and It really bugs me that he thinks he does. I bet he doesn't even remember how old I am. Ugh.
Anyway, being... not really in the right mind, I said, "You're really weird. But okay. Whatever you say."
Then he said to me that I didn't know him(true) and that I didn't know his family(false), and that because I have been sheltered by my mother, that he never wants me to reach out to him ever again.
You know its funny, because recently before this incident I had been talking about trying to make up with my father, giving him a clean slate and starting over. But now? No thank you.
*sigh* anyway, if you have made it to the end of this rant with whatever grammatical errors or typos I have then congrats. Heh. I wish I could talk to my cousins, but well, their father just died. I don't want to bother them with my father issues right now.
Goodnight yall. I suggest going to read a good book for awhile. Well, because that's what I'm going to do. Good books are medicine for the soul.

Honor Choir/Broadway workshop
Alright so I'm still in Japan and it's freezing. But while here I found out that I may be able to audition to get on a broadway workshop with Sutton Foster. That would be... amazing. heh. I hope I get the chance because the workship is 6 days after I get back so i don't know if I'll be able too...
Also, right before I left for Japan I found out that I had got into the National Honor choir that I had tried out for earlier... so I'm going to Dallas in March. :D How cool is that? I got my 6 songs in the mail a few weeks ago and them my mom scanned them to me so I could practice. I'm also working on my voice piece from before I left. My voice coach said that I should learn that one instead of getting a new one. blah. So I'm currently trying to learn 7 songs, and if my coach thinks it's possible, I'll be getting 1 or 2 more to learn for when I get back... and I have 3 weeks... O.O oh jeez.

Japan
Well., it's official, I'm going to Japan. I leave in November and you know what I plan to do? Read and write. I'm going to bring my nook with me, and then I'm going to bring a composition book or journal with me. And write a chapter on every day that I'm there(I'll put them on goodreads later of course).
The thing with the chapters though, is that I will be writing from a fictional point of view, so will probably end up having either magical creatures...maybe vampires and werewolves...or maybe nothing of that sort at all and just make it a fiction journal. I don't know yet. heh. Though I'm open the suggestions. I'm thinking about writing about my experience with my exchange student too, but I'm not sure yet.
So basically, the story will take place in Japan, and it will be from the point of view of a 17 year old girl names Taylor. And she's living with this boy and her family and experiencing Japanese culture and life on a school exchange. I'm really hoping i can make it long and interesting and perhaps publish it later. But thankful, the first month I'm there coincides with NANOWRIMO, so I can start my story on the 5th for that and hopefully get 10,000 words or more no problem. I'm considering going for the good 'ol 50,000 words...but I might just wait until next year when I'm eighteen for that.
My experience with my exchange student so far has been very very good. I really like having him here(even when my boyfriend is also visiting from California and living with us too. i need to catch up with writing on my experience when it comes to my exchange student, because he's already been here for a week. He seems to be liking it tomorrow, but gets tired really fast. i think that might just be the time difference though.
Well, enough of that. i gotta go. You know, start writing? ;)

Partial victory!!!!!!!
Finished editing Part One to Me Thinks I See Strange Things. Thank goodness!! Now I have to edit Part 2. But that shouldn't take to long.
However, i also have to finished the 39 pages of my English book. I'm thinking about taking it with me while i go work out, and just working out slowly so I can read as well. :P Yes I'm a bit silly.
*sigh* I think the editing will be done by the end of the year. But I can't be positive of when the book will actually go out on amazon. It's kind of depressing actually...

journals, journals, journals, oh how I love my sweet little journal...
Okay so my chorus director gave me a journal to write in during the trip right? and I've been writing in it ever day since she gave it to us. It's actually helping stress wise about the whole trip thing.
I suggest writing a journal for anyone who loves to write, and needs a place to put down their ideas, or just let off a little bit of stress. :)

Zombieland? I feel so lame!!
Ugh I hate being afraid of the dark sometimes. I'm not always afraid. It's usually just when I've seen a scary movie. I can't help it! Ive been seeing zombies everywhere... Shmuck. It's really starting to freak me out... :(
And sleep deprivation isn't going to help with my editing. Though my Aunty has helped me a bit with that... But I need her to send me the thing so I can read it.

Distractions galore
Well, summer break has finally begun. I plan on finishing the editing bit of MTISST's and sending in another proof thing. I'm really excited. But some the time I was going to use today was taken by the movie I went to see with friends. On top of that I have drivers Ed now and that's time consuming. Not mention that on the 13th I start rehearsal for my Europe trip. So I have no idea when I'll have the time to do anything. *sigh* this is going to be a long summer.

Sleepovers.
Having a sleep over with a friend. We're supposed to be doing homework but it's not really working out because my brother wants to watch movies and she's on face book. We neeeeeed to concentrate!
