Strangely enough, it is impossible to construct a sentence that illustrates the meaning of the word `irony.'*dies laughing*

Guess what? I'm STILL not dead!!!

 

Hey, everyone!  I hope you're all okay.

I'm getting close to finishing the revision of my novel.  It's almost over!!!  Almost over!!!  Over!!!  *echo echo echo etc.*

*sigh*  I have nothing to say.  It's only been two months, but heck, I have nothing to say!  Weird.

I'm taking a philosophy class.  It's...interesting.

Uh...I've been busy lately?  Work, school, editing.

Oh!  I wrote a totally epic scene for a someday-to-be-written novel of mine!  It was soooo amazing.  It just felt right.  Reminded me of why I am a writer.  It's those moments when the words just come.  You can almost hear the music score in the back of your internal movie.  I have to read it again later tonight and re-evaluate it.  It just felt so right while I was writing.  Truly wonderful.

Today for breakfast I had Chips Ahoy cookies and Kit-Kats.  It was totally awesome.  Then for lunch, I had real food.  Fortunately for my stomach, my breakfast was not too long before my lunch.  I slept in, then got up and snacked a little as I wrote my epic scene.  Then I ate lunch and ran to work.  (Okay, I drove, but I wanted to run because I was late and my car does badly in the rain.  It doesn't like to stop in the rain, so it sometimes just slides across the street like a doohicky people play with in Curling.)

Anyway, I got to work late, but I guess my bosses weren't TOO upset.  They didn't yell at me or anything, so I counted it as a good thing.  Still, I felt terrible.  They had to do my job until I got there.  I apologized, but I wanted to apologize at least three times every hour I was there.  I didn't.

I didn't cheer up again until I had been at work for almost three hours.  But eventually, I picked myself back up and reminded myself worse things could have happened.  At least I showed up.  So I guess it was okay.  I'm okay.  My bosses didn't seem too upset, but I could tell my main boss was annoyed.  Oops.  Problem is, it was just a stupid mistake on my part.  I thought I was working the late shift, but I wasn't.  So I was late.

I really hate disappointing people.  I really hate not being where I'm supposed to be and not doing what I'm supposed to do.  I've decided it's worse than fights or arguments--and I always thought fighting was the worst thing on the planet.  But disappointing people feels worse to me.  So there.

Anyway, on a happier note, I watched Remember The Titans today (great movie) and I fell in love with the theme.  Also "The Chase" and the "Theme" from National Treasure are both AMAZING.  I just realized how much so tonight.  They are EPIC.  EPIC!

I'm gonna go re-read my epic scene now.  After I eat some cereal, anyway.  ttyl

haha yeah well i really just use xanga to post the stuff i write, and i haven't really written anything for awhile, least nothing finished and/or worth putting up and/or nothing i want on the net.

that sounds awesome, haha as your internet friend i would like an autographed copy when it comes out. (:

yeah i get books from the library and end up not finishing them. i'm trying to finish book 1 of the vampire chronicles 'interview with a vampire' and for christmas i got a book of Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems, which is awesome. i'm not sure if i ever read the Count Of Monte Cristo i think i did, but i don't know.

haha i only really use xanga to post what i write and talk to a couple of people, which now looks like only you, the only other person that i really talked to on here, i talk to on facebook now. but to post what i write i still prefer xanga. i never got into the 'popular' blogs, but then i never really looked at 'em.

i use to make jokes about that, somebody would say somethin about coffee stunting growth, and i'd say 'if it does then it's a good thing i drank so much of it'.

*sigh* if you mean what is going to be my college (it would be eight weeks not two) we're in bad shape money wise, and can't afford it. well since we're on the subject if you would pray for us about this i would appreciate it, not necessarily my workshop, but the whole situation.

yeah i'm ok, least i think i'm ok, trying to find a job, thinking bout maybe making a music cd, maybe a couple of cover songs, and some original stuff. i don't know.

haha sleep is overrated.

yeah i haven't seen that movie i saw the first one, but not the second. although today, uhh yesterday now i skimmed through rambo 4 which i really like, some of '45 days' the movie about demon hunter, there's a couple of parts i really like from 45 days, they interviewed the friends and/or family of fans that had died, and there was one that was for me just like yeah that's how i want to be remembered when i die. so i would totally recommend 45 days even if you don't like metal, come to think of it the only really part where its metal is the live show with it, the soundtrack that comes with it is all original for the movie and its more like classical with electric guitar, than metal.

i've never really been into sports when i was little i think for the homeschoolers there was like a basketball thing i did but never was really good in it, now i'm not on any team or anything, but i enjoy running, and would like to start free running, but takes a lot of hard work, and it makes it slightly harder being in a less urban area, but using the woods to train shouldn't be too much worse. i always liked swimming but i have ear problems, haha the sound guy has ear problems, i get ear infections really easy i've already ruptured both ear drums, so i try not mess in the water so much.

i would ask something now if i could think of something to ask, but since it's nearly 4 and i can't think of anything for the moment, i'll just ask that you try not to disappear for so long.

Congratulations on your epic scene! I love it when those things happen spontaneously--epic moments are what make writing worthwhile :)

Actually, I have been on xanga--albeit sporadically--but I just haven't been making my posts public. I've been going through a bit of a rough patch, so I use xanga to rant a bit and relieve stress (but out of consideration for any wayward readers that might happen to glance at my page, I keep it private :)

Ooph. April 23. It'll take me even more of a miracle to reach that one. I'm currently in the midst of a bunch of school tests plus several major piano audition/competitions, so I'm shooting for the June deadline. But who knows? Maybe if I get my act together and write like crazy I might make the April one. Might. It's a very long shot, though, so I'm not holding my breath :P

Read any good books lately? I have been pretty busy with school, but I did squeeze in some time to read Seven Daughters and Seven Sons--it's a pretty interesting retelling of an old Arabic legend, I believe. It's more like fluff reading--for when you have a day off, but I would recommend it :)

Are you posting your NaNo on xanga when it's all finished? And are you posting your epic scene?

I'm so sorry I haven't commmented on here lately! I've been so busy lately, and forgot that you had left me a comment. So, how's it going with you? I've been working part time at the library and trying to squeeze in time to do school, so I haven't been doing much writing. I think once I got started on a story and knew what I was doing I would be able to find time, but the hard part is deciding on critical details before I start writing. Like character's names.

Do you watch Lost? I started watching it recently; we borrowed the first season from a friend. It's really good. It's a very character driven show, and you're constantly discovering something new about the characters through frequent flashbacks. You can start out really hating one of them, then see how they got to be the way they are, and it makes them more sympathetic without actually excusing their behavior.

Anyway, I have to go. Thanks for the comments. It seems like nobody uses Xanga anymore... at least nobody I know except you. Talk to you later,

Lindsey

"You Are Loved (Don't Give Up)" by Josh Groban. This is a video made by someone on Youtube. I found this song recently, "Memory Puzzle" by a group called "183 Club". It's an instrumental that I just adore.
