Elephants and A Sphinx Nightlight

I am just a horrible person.

How could I do this to you guys?

I totally didn't even tell you and you should've been the first to know that I have indeed finished writing Elephants & A Sphinx Nightlight and am going to start typing it up and revising it.

I just cannot believe that I forgot to mention it! What's wrong with me? So! I decided to make a short little update telling about it.

 I need to rewrite the main character's relationship with her mother and make the sub-main character a little more evil.... I also need to add some more background, a little more character development, show a little more emotion. But other than that, it is finished. x3 I'm so happy about it!

Hoping you guys are enjoying the second day of fall.

Love! <33

NaNoWriMo

I know National November Writing Month is still like, a month and a half away, but I've never done it before and I've decided to do it this time around. I'm probably going to die. It's alright. I accept it.

My stupidity has decided that it can write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. So my sanity decided to try it. My sanity likes to make fun of my stupidity sometimes... anyways! I'm not sure what novel I'm actually going to use but probably Inside Out, I know I've already started it, but whatever, maybe I'll just run in circles like a chicken with my head cut off, screaming, "NANOWRIMO IS FOREIGN TORTURE!! FOREIGN BUTT TORTURE RAAAAAAAAAAGH." But it's okay. I'll be fine. I'm looking forward to it. I might even get Meghan and Caity to join me. Which will probably drive them mad too. :D Yay me! Enforcing insanity upon my loved ones!! ^^

Dance Class

I had my first dance class at Reverence Dance yesterday and it was awesome. I loved it. My instructor is great, I'm in class with only one other person, and my legs didn't hurt after the hour long session. :D

That was superb news because I've wanted to dance for a really long time and I'd wanted to do soccer for a really long time. Soccer was awful to me, so I'm ecstatic that I'm enjoying dance.

My second week of school isn't awful, it's, you know, school. However! Meghan's little sister Erin is having her twelfth (and golden) birthday party this weekend so Graci and I are going to go over and keep Meghan company. Hopefully Graci will hang out with Erin though... That would be nice cuz then at least one of us would be there for the one who we were, uh, supposed to be there for... ^^"

I might invite my lunch buddy, Lauren over the weekend after this, I'll have to see, we're supposed to be helping move my mom's friend, Trish, into her new house and then we'll have lasagna but I wanted to invite over Meghan and Caity... so perhaps I'll just invite them over and we'll help them move in and then we will all nom upon lasagna together like a big happy family group thingie. Like we do. <3

I'm surprisingly in love with the song Blown Away by Carrie Underwood. I'm usually not so attracted to songs but I just obsess over it. O.O

We did campaign posters today in World Studies for Roman emperors, I did Claudius because everyone did Augustus, otherwise, I would have done him, because he really is the best candidate... Anyways, my poster looks pretty good, I did a picture of Claudius and three Roman dudes with their hands up, either voting or asking questions or whatever, and then I did some positiveness for him. My slogan was "Finally One Who Thinks of the People!" Pretty cool right? And tomorrow we're going to do an election. So. Yeah.

I have to go now because I have English homework and I need to write down some songs from the 50's for my ProDeFab teacher... (Product Design and Fabrication)

Love!

Asylums for the Insane

So, Meghan has this research paper due, but she also has a problem: She has no internet. So she can't do any research at home.

She decided to do her paper on Insane Asylums, you know the kind of torture they used to put those people through because they didn't believe that they could feel like normal people. I decided that I would help by researching it and then emailing her the links so that she could read up on what I thought was important and use that to help her. Because she has a computer class with complete internet access. Which is helpful.

My first week of school was just peachy.

I didn't meet anybody the first day, the second day people started to talk to me and I met a lunch buddy whose name is Lauren, the third day I sat with Lauren and my old friend from third grade, Julia. The fourth day I sat with Lauren again and she told me how she likes to draw comics.

My classes are going well and I am getting continuously better at opening my locker! :D Wood shop hasn't truly started yet it's still just introduction stuff and gore stories, but we're going to be making Adirondack chairs. English is weird, World Studies is fun, Earth Science makes my head want to explode and Phys. Ed. is trying to give me Popliteal Tendonitis.  

All in all, school is school. I have to get up early, make my lunch, answer questions, introduce myself to people, find clothes to wear, and make friends. Hopefully you're week was awesome and not nearly as uncomfortable or chaotic as mine.

Love always.

First Day

Hey there!

Well, I had my very first day at school today. I got lost, lost my schedule, locker combination, couldn't find the gymnasium, introduced myself to a few people, ate lunch by myself, and made it to all my classes.

All in all, it wasn't a horrible day. It was hot and stuffy, and my school has no air conditioning, BUT I made it. The teachers mainly lectured us about the school year and I mainly sat and listened. I took account of some of the kids, how much distance there is between desks and chairs and other such things.

I hope that you guys also had wonderful days. Or at the very least not horrid days. :D

Hopefully tomorrow will be a better, less confusing day and I'll start to make some friends.
I don't have any friends because it's one of the schools where everybody went to school together and therefore know each other. Either way I need to figure out how to work my locker combination and I badly need to get myself an agenda.

On the upside, I've been experimenting with new and very diversified names for Dragonfly Thoughts. That's really the only thing I'm experimenting with. >.<"

My room is almost finished and I might be able to move in in two or so days. **And there was much rejoicing!!** Graci is really trying to push me out of our shared room, and it's pretty messy so I agree. 

Here's hoping for a good year!!
