Beware the Jabberwock, my son

Graveyard Fanfic

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 15:59:28 GMT

Did anyone post something that was Silas/Bod (or just about Silas and Bod) recently? I swear I saw it but I can't remember who :(

I just read The Graveyard Book yesterday and I want to read it. Help me out?

Graduation!

Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:45:42 GMT

I made it! It was close but I'm graduating and I'm going to community college next year! Saving money, figuring out what I'm going to do. Not exactly excited yet but I'm done and that's all that matters!

I'm graduating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone should tell me how awesome their day was...

...or if it was awful you should tell me how awesome it should have been. Seems like a therapeutic exercise to me.

Charlie Brown!

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 03:43:55 GMT

Not the Peanuts one...

Crazy old song 'bout this kid named Charlie Brown funny/bad kid. Sounds like a cool guy actually, calls his english teacher daddi-o. Anyway one of the lines goes like this...

"that's him on his knees
I know that's him
Yeah seven come eleven
down in the boys gym"

...Did they really say that? Yes, yes they did.

Must. Find someone. To write. Story!

College...sux

Thu, 02 Apr 2009 19:41:48 GMT

I just submitted my first application for a college. My essay was brutally honest and I hope that they appreciate that fact. I'm also submitting another by 7:00 tonight. And I'm working on an important one as well.

All-in-all this feels better than I thought it would. I'm still not exactly excited at the prospect but I'm becoming more optimistic.

Rapunzel-esque

I've had short hair for about 5 months and I still can't get used to it.While curly my hair could reach my butt and now it doesn't even touch my shoulders but I'm still not sure how I fell about it. One one hand long, thick, coarse, hair is hellish to maintain on the other hand it was satisfying to look in the mirror and see how long it was. Short hair is easier to style and I've actually been able to dye it for the first time! But my hair grows SUPER fast when it's short. The style I want grows out in about two weeks and my bangs will grow 1/2 an inch to a full inch in about a month.

I have no idea what I should actually do, my next appointment is on Thursday...oh decisions, how you taunt me.

I really don't want to write a paper tonight, let alone 4. Morgan, to your procrastination station!

Seeking advice

Senior in high school. Lost all passion for learning. Realized that was the only thing driving me up till now. I have no idea what to do.

I'm pretty sure that I'm going to 5 o'clock mass tomorrow to get extra credit in my Spanish class. And I can't stand church...I wonder how this will end

done!

ATTN: ALL PEOPLE I DONT KNOW

Do you have any music suggestions for me. I'll listen to anything short of country and hardcore rap.

I need new music. Badly.

Srsly. I listen to Mozart. And Vivaldi.

done.

Well, now

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 07:35:17 GMT

Almost everyday I wish I had a place to vent. I'm too afraid to shatter my school chums expectations of me that I can't go to them. Whenever I try and tell something to my mother she finds some roundabout way to blame the entire situation on me.

My first LJ was for just that, venting when I was 13, but I felt ridiculous then and still do now. I don't know any of you people, this journal is just for reading people's original writing. But, God, feeling a little stupid is better than taking my pent up frustrations and direction through a destructive outlet.

Even now I can't actually vent, just say that I need to and wait a couple of days for a response I know I wont get from my naive attempt at reaching out to strangers. I hate apathy.

I honestly have no idea if this was therapeutic or if it just broke my heart. I'll see soon, maybe.

Little Help?

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:21:27 GMT

Can anyone help me find some information about steampunk? Nothing I find is very definitive and I'm curious out of my mind.

You know what I'm totally up for right now?

Sat, 21 Jun 2008 16:31:01 GMT

Jonas Brothers Slash. That movie Disney just did did not help to quell my inner fangirl. Mmm, slash.

Good googley moogley...

Tue, 25 Mar 2008 04:46:05 GMT

I'm about 80% bored right now and jonesin' for some dark chocolate. I don't have class tomorrow until 1 pm, I have to clean and finish packing for Costa Rica and I still can't beat the Spirit temple and the Shadow temple bosses.

BORED!

I don't think that I have a plus side to this.

Also, Smash Brother's Brawl (or whatever it's called) is boring, it can hold my attention for about 3 rounds.

...I'm off to go clean.

edit. 87% bored.

Begging for help once again

Thank you!

We just drove back from Seattle...

Fri, 28 Dec 2007 06:50:26 GMT

to Yakima. The whole trip from our house to my sister's apartment takes around 2 1/2 hours. We left Seattle around 5, 4 freaking hours later we are home safely.

Snoqualmie was incredibly snowy (14 inches expected), the roads were completely covered, we were sliding all over I-90. Here in Yakima we barely got 1/4 of an inch. Washington diversity.

Speaking of Seattle! I love going there and seeing gay couples walk around together. I always say, "that's so cute" on the inside. I hate my city sometimes. I'm pretty sure a gay couple would get murdered on the street in my neighborhood (gang territory).

Christmas is near...

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 23:01:05 GMT

and I was wondering if anyone would like a gift from me. I know how to make these really adorable dolls like this: Link!
There are 18, I think, and I could personalize them. I'll put pictures of the different kinds.

Umm...they're free but I might need some help on the shipping, possibly not.

An odd question...

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 22:33:09 GMT

If you're pretty much asexual is it possible to be a lesbian?

I know that it sounds weird, but I'm really confused right now.

Reading utensils aka glasses

Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:34:21 GMT

I broke my glasses about two weeks ago. I was taking a nap after school because I don't seem to be sleeping much lately and I put my glasses on my knee, so it looked like my knee was actually wearing them. I'm a really still sleeper when it's just a quick nap. The phone rang, I rushed up to get it because I was the only one home, it was my mom. I went to lie down again, forgot about my glasses. My mom called twice after that.
By the end of it my glasses were bent wonky out of shape. I bent them back mostly but I completely ruined the frame. Instead of being not lazy I decided not to go to get them fixed at costco. The next week I went (that was last sunday) and they don't make my frame anymore so I had to pick out a new one. I take forever on those kinds of things and my family was waiting on me, but my mom had just something really mean to me and to make it up they weren't complaining.
ANYWAY. I want my glasses, I can't see far away very well and my eyes get really tired without them. I'm typing this looking straight at the keyboard because looking at the screen hurts.

Man i think I'm just grumpy cause I woke form todays nap. Beh, I'm lame...and about to go fall asleep again so Is can go get ready for my seminar tomorrow. Ajax. Kill me now.

Ahhhhh

Wed, 14 Nov 2007 04:39:27 GMT

I don't know how to write dialogue! I don't enev know how to spell it. Or even! HELP ME!! Oh God, please, somebody help.
Every single thing that I try to put into my characters mouth (boy did that sound dirty) comes out stilted and awkward. T-T It makes me cry.

Now that my spaz-out is done, I'll attempt that again with just a bit of sanity.

Does anyone have any suggestions or essays that I could check out that could help. I'll even (got it right that time) put a sample, below a cut though.

He winced inwardly, knowing that he must look like a fool with his mouth hanging open. He closed his mouth, then opened it to ask about the pears. “Ex-excuse me, do you—“

“What’s your name?” interrupted the vendor.

“What?” the man asked, shocked.

The boy smiled, “I guess since you caught me this morning I should tell you mine first. I’m Dillan. Sorry I was spying on you this morning, I was just curious ‘cause I’ve never seen that building operating. I’m kinda new around here and I didn’t think anyone was living in there, so I thought it would be okay to look. Lucky for us you were wearing pants though,” the boy laughed softly and scratched the back of his head.

The man was reeling from that verbal attack. He looked confused, with furrowed brown, “I need three pears. Do you have any?”

The boy shook his head cheerfully, “It’ll be a while before Old Mae has a good crop going, she’s only been here for two years,” the merchant paused, “So what did you say your name was?”

The man hugged his supplies closer, angry and bitter now. “Most just call me Creeper,” he stated simply, then turned and walked away.

Nano, yes again

I've finally started writing. After a lot of stupidity on my part I've picked an idea, worked on some characters and just wrote the intro. My goal for this weekend is to catch-up to what day 10 word count is supposed to look like.

Word goal: 16,670
Word count: 475 (and raising)

And a to-do list to keep me on track.

To Do Nov. 10-12
{x} Write intro to book
{ } Introduce Aly
{ } Introduce Fiona
{ } Introduce Sam (not main character)
{ } Figure out how/why she falls into wonderland
{ } Make the Cheshire cat into the coolest char, evah!
{ } Write a scene with the Queen of hearts
~~{?} Work up the nerve to possibly put in smut?~~ I'm so timid it's lame. Maybe insinuated smut?
{x} find out what else to put on this list
{ } pros cons of happy ending v. bad ending
{ } find more to put on this list

edit. I still need a new default icon

My father...

Sat, 10 Nov 2007 07:00:51 GMT

My dad is pretty much an idiot and a glutton. He eats so much so fast that he'll start choking and throwing up whatever he has eaten. It's disgusting. No matter how many times we tell him, or in what way he still eats that way.
One reason this bugs me so much is...I'm afraid of vomit. You're thinking, "sure, just like everyone else" but it's not like that. It's not that the sight of barf makes me want to puke, I have nightmares about the stuff, that kind of scared. AND when he starts coughing, if I leave, he'll yell at me something like, "you running away already?" So, I'm in here, listening to my dad cough and cough and waiting either to hear a sickening splash on the floor or my dad screaming 'cause he is the LOUDEST vomiter I've ever heard.

that guy wears me out.

Nano!

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 18:04:38 GMT

I've finally got a plot and the ability to write! And to celebrate my success of a lesbian plot-line I have a Cardcaptor icon! whooo!

Nano...failure

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 06:22:07 GMT

Word Goal for Today: ?
Total Words Written: About -348 (152 difference)

Negative you say? How so?

I had a plot (weak, maybe, but a plot), was outline a bonus chap. when I was all like, "holy crap, I don't know how to write, I don't even know how this chapter is going to end!" So failure. I was going to write about a dream I had about these two servant boys (hotties, btw) but I can't remember all of it and I don't want to write them until I can do them justice.
ALSO, for the first time evah! I did my homework instead of blowing it off, like I usually do, and writing. Even now I'm procrastinating.

Checklist for tonight:
{x} Get a cup of tea for your throat, along with some Vit. C.
{ } Read just a little to wake up.
{x} Stop playing Secret of the Solstice.
{ } Pro - con list of Servant Hotness and Moral story.
{x} Stop stalling and Get to Work.
{ } not get any sleep for the 3rd night this week (thankfully not in a row)

the end.

edit. updated listy and word count.

Happy Halloween!

Wed, 31 Oct 2007 08:00:24 GMT

Midnight, lots of baking, new friend from singapore, odd sounds that may indicate loss of ear cells. Another good start to Halloween, crashing hard core after party tomorrow. But i will post pictures of costumes and finished product of my ever improving baking skillz.

I feel that there are many mistakes in this entry. Goodnight.
