Evil Tuesday

today was strange... and for the most of it i was laid up with a strange combo of a normal headache and a sinus headache... and it's started to come back, so i'm in a fair amount of pain right now

because of the weird headache, i barely got any writing done... but i got some done yesterday, and early yesterday morning... and right now i'm so not in the mood to go to class tomorrow, but we're starting to read something new so i should go... i'm just not going to enjoy it a whole lot

now... i think i'm going to take something and hope it goes away... i wish i could write some more without it hurting

Reading music

yesterday i was listening to my iPod on my way home from class (i have one of those old green mini ones that they don't make anymore) and i realized something

i listen to music because i like the lyrics

now, i'm all for people making music for a living, but i'm such a word girl that i focus more on the lyrics, because they tell a little story

well, there's my blabbering for today... everyone else can blabber to a friend of theirs for a few minutes today

:0)

Just an update

well, i wasn't really sure what the theme of this post would be, so it's probably going to be all over the place

school's going good, i'm a little behind on one class, which means lots of reading over the next week or so, but it's ok... Monday's a holiday, Victoria Day, but it just means i'll be at home reading for my distance class instead of at school reading for my not distance class

June's on its way, which means Script Frenzy starts soon... i'm not so sure about it... i mean, i'll try it and everything, but i don't think I'm going to get all that far... how can a 20,000 word script be equivalent to a 90 min to 2 hour movie... i'm at 83,000 words for me book and i'm just starting to get close to the end, got a few more chapters left

i think i've gotten hooked on e-books from Ellora's Cave... which is good, i'm getting some ideas, but it's also bad because i've spent a lot of money... at least i've got the ones i wanted to read

my passport finally came last Friday... 12 and a half weeks from the time i mailed it to the passport offices to the day it got here... NOTE to everyone: get your passport now, even if you're not planning a trip... get it now

i guess that's it for now... have a nice day, peoples

It's time for me to go

well, pretty much... i have to get up in about 7 hours, which is 4am, for a 6:30am flight... we fly out at 6:30, make a stop in Calgary, change planes in Edmonton, then land in Hamilton at about 4:30 in the afternoon... i'm going to be so tired on the plane

and i can only hope that the planes don't crap out on us like the last time we tried to fly somewhere... imagine June 2005... we were going to leave Abbottsford and land in Toronto... the plane did not take off at it's said time... 90 minutes later, we were told that a part on another plane would be coming in in an hour... and that didn't work... we ended up being shuttled to Vancouver on a large tour bus at 2 in the afternoon, and was given seats on a flight leaving at 4:30, which really left closer to 5

this meant we were late getting in, missed seeing my cousin and meeting her fiance, missed getting my hands and feet all henna-ed up, and got to the hotel at about midnight after being screwed over all day... at least the flight home was better... and the flights were free... hopefully tomorrow goes off without a hitch, and lots of coffee

that's it for now, peoples... if i get a change while i'm gone i'll update where i am and what i'm doing... if i can't get online, i'll post when i get back... one day i'd love to do a travel blog, me wandering around the place and posting where i am and what i'm doing... one day... have a happy April, peoples

Possible podcast update

well, i looked into it a little more last night, and found out i have to upload the files onto a site set up for it or something, which is a little bit of a hassle, but it's not that bad... so i went to a site i've heard of that does that kind of thing (i'm not naming the site, because i want to look around a little at others), and saw that i'll have to pay anywhere from 5 to 30 bucks a month to be able to do it... OMG... i was so surprised... and i was like, well, how am i going to do that? i'm just a student

then i went through it this morning to see how the whole process works, and found out i can pay for the darn thing using PayPal (bless you PayPal people, you're the best)... and in Feb i tried to set up an account (and almost thought i was out a chunk of change for a little while)... well, i noticed that it was all verified and everything, so i've now sort of solved one of my problems

now, if only i could create a genuis clone of myself that'll take my exams for me, i'll be set for the next couple of weeks

(sidebar: are people even reading this thing? am i just hoping for loyal readers? would you come here if you could actually listen to me talk instead? post your answers in the comments dealie)

Thinking hard... talking more

for the past little while, i've been thinking of putting together a podcast... just so i don't have to remember to write in this darn thing some of the times... sometimes saying stuff out loud makes so much more sense, because then you can hear the emotion and not just have to imagine it... i mean, i'm not a robot or anything

so, i'll be testing making audio files and seeing it i can post it straight to this site, then have it go through iTunes (cause i love my iTunes, and my green iPod)... when it works, i will have a huge celebration post, plus a celebration podcast

and no, this is no April Fool's joke

Has the world turned boring on me?

ok, ever since i started this, which was like, 2 or 3 days ago (right??), i've been getting bored... probably cause i didn't want to post here every day and sound completely boring... but i don't really care... so, i'll be putting stuff up here every day, or just when i feel like it... just to give you all something to read every day ;)

i've kept going with my second attempt at a book, and i've realized that i'll have to write it, in the order i want to, then go back over it and add more as i think of it, which sounds weird, but i guess that's what authors call revisons, right??... i wrote 3 whole pages the other day, which is more than i've done in 3 months, so i guess i've fixed my writer's block... right now, my problem is just wanting to write everything that's going around in my head, which just gets me to the end quicker... which is just stupid... damn my creative brain :D... o well... and once i'm done the whole thing (praying it's going to be at least 400 pages when i'm done), i'll have to do the most trying thing of all... finding someone who'll publish the darn thing... i'm shooting to be done by my birthday next year, which gives me 14 months to write another 379 pages... which is pretty much a page a day... i think i can pull it off

now for my location update... basically, the weather sucks... it's cold, cloudy, and really windy... and our holly bush is bright red because of the berries... it looks like X-mas out there instead of Hallowe'en... it's still fairly green out there, so it's not all bad

well, i guess that's it for now... hopefully i can write a bit more on the weekend... i'm hoping for at least 10 pages... go me... and extra love to Nancy *hugs*

And the writings start :0)

okay now, i figured that, since i don't normally post at my Yahoo blog, i'd post here, because it's an actual blog-type place... hopefully i can keep it up here longer than at Yahoo... i mean, i like Yahoo well enough, but sometimes you just want to smack it



now, i'm guessing knowing something about me might help, so, why not??... i'm heading into my third decade... which almost makes me sound like a baby when you figure out that i'm almost 20... i'm a west coast girl, okay, i'm a Canadian west coast girl, and my winter's consist of week-long rain... so no, i don't wear mittens 24/7

i'm a university student, working on my B.A.... maybe taking a break to work or travel a little... i've gotten to a point when i need to figure out what i want to do with the rest of my life... whether or not i want to get my degree now, or wait and live my life and do what i want for a year or so then go back to school... *sigh* some days it's annoying and upsetting thinking about this, because i honestly don't know what i want to do when my birthday hits at the end of the year, i'll plan out the next 12 months and see where that takes me

i'm also an aspiring writer... i write online in RP (that's role play) groups, and i think i do pretty good there... i've had lots of positive comments, so i think i have a talent at writing... i've had a few books in progress, in both romance and fantasy genres... the first one i wrote in high school in the 11th grade, almost 4 years ago... the second, i started in May... i came across the first one a few months ago and deemed it 'beyond saving'... all i can say is it's cheesy... the second hasn't got past 20 pages and i've been at a stand still since June... i love the idea of it, and hopefully i can start it up again... i'll have to come up with a schedule, like write so many pages a day

okay, i think that's enough about me for tonight... i'll spill more about me in future blogs... i think i'm going to end all my blog-posty-things (:D) with a book and a song recommendation... just to make the world a little more literate and musical

i know, sappy, but hey, why not??... love you, babes *hugs*
