In a Real Writing Mood

Moments ago I finished writing an entry in my dairy, a real life collection of my thoughts, thoughts that I dare not expressed in any of my blogs. Mainly it is a collection of my moanings, my complaints about the world around as well as the people who inhabit my world, though small it maybe. Writing in this journal has re-sparked my love of writing, as my concentration lately has been lacking. I guess all I needed was inspiration. Funny the inspiration that you can find in your everyday life. Am I so vain that I must write about my own life continuously? Or is it writing that I am addicted too? I seem to have this constant need to write, to scribble down everything and anything that pops into my head, whether that be fictional or a part of my day to day existence. I guess it is the writing. In fact that is probably my true addiction, not caffeine, not chocolate, but writing.

So Much Work To Do!

I have been procrastinating so much lately. Actually I am procrastinating as I speak.

At the moment I am working on several notebooks documenting the history of Princosa(TM) but I have been getting distracted so easily. You see this is a problem, as I am unable to start the redraft of my current novel until I am finished the more detailed history notes. I cant keep this history in my head any more, that is why I am writing it down. If I keep it in my head much longer it will keep getting changed and mashed up with every time I think about it. I really have to get this novel finished it is unprofessional of me to keep messing around. Also I have promised some selected fans the first 5 chapters of this novel before I send it to the publishers. Of course the manuscripts that they will be getting will be trademarked, copyrighted, etc. I really must get this finished for them.

On top of that I still have university work to do and exams coming up in May. I sometimes wish that my life was not so hectic. Either be a student or a writer, not both, but then again I don't like doing just the one thing. I am happiest when I am busy and hopefully tomorrow, though it be Easter, I will get plenty of work done with the free time that I have. Maybe get some programming and my novel history done.

A Quick Update While I Watch Cartoons

I was sitting watching X-men Evolution and I remembered that I have not up dated this in a while. Dont ask why but it did.

Well there has'nt been anything really new. I'm still in university, though currently panicing about a video game that I have to make for mulitmedia. I am planning something to do about bunny rabbits but I am still waiting to hear back from my professor about what he thinks about my idea. Hopefully he will like it because I really don't want to think up another one, esspecially now that I already have some of the sprites for the game. I just need the bad guys. Also I got a charming email from my university threatening to supend me if I dont get my tuition fee payments sorted. Its ok though, I can have them fixed by the deadline. Because as weird as this sounds, I would actually like to sit my exams this semester. Of course I did my christmas ones but I dont like the idea of working hard all of this semester for nothing.

Oh on a lighter more fresher note, I got the front of my hair bleached. I now look like Rogue from X-men, its pretty awesome, I am thinking about dying the streaks bright pink though because the bleach had made it look a little too blonde.

Not Working?!? A First Time For Everything

Just thought that I would jot down my new approach to writing. Since I am also finished the re-draft of my first novel I thought that I would take a break and do a bit more research before going any further. It has gotten to the point were I feel as though I am forcing the words to come out of me. It isn’t writers block; it is something else, a severe case of writer’s boredom. For the time being I shall read about myths and legends to see if I can find any juicy details that I may wish to wrap into my own twisted little world.

Why some books just suck

These books aren’t in any particular order I am just writing them down as their suckyness popped into my head.




• Twilight: Where do I start? Bad plot, grammar mistakes in the published novel, bland characters, not to mention targeted towards girls who are obviously not ready to understand the emotional side of the story. I agree with Stephan King on this one its horrible.



• The Vampire Chronicles: I am not hating on all of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles but anything after The Vampire Lestat is boring. Fair play to Rice in the amount of historical research that she puts into her novels but if I wanted a history lesson I would buy a history book. Rice's novels are amazingly detailed and researched but she needs to spend more time on the plot. One of her novels Pandora I was really looking forward to reading, I read the summary online and the blurb of the novel in the book store sadly though the blurb was more interesting than the actual story. The fact that there are two vampire series' on this list is the reason why I stick to Dracula.



• Mariah Mundi: The Midas Box: The language alone ruined this novel for me; it was too rigid there was no flow to the words on the pages at all. I am not nit picking. What was I expecting from a book that I bought from a pound shop? There is a difference between "The cat sat on the mat" and "the cat was curled comfortably upon the soft rug purring happily as it was warmed by the flickering flame of the fireplace". The difference? Atmosphere, this book seriously needs some.



• Cujo: There are very few King stories that I dislike. Sadly in Cujo's case the scariest part of Cujo was in the first or second chapters. The beginning of the novel was brilliant and scary but after that it just slowed down. If a book starts frightening it is exhilarating but if the rest of the novel doesn’t deliver it is just a disappointment.



• 1408: I never thought it was possible for a movie to be better than the short story. That is all I have to say on that one.

Watching Secret Window Again for Some Reason

Ahhhh I have so much to do before going back to classes tomorrow. I am currently sitting with wet hair and a very untidy room, both of which have to be remedied for tomorrow. I am kinda excited about going back to university, mainly to show off my new school supplies and see my class mates. The sad thing is that I seem to get more excited by a new notebook than seeing an actual person. I need a life BADLY!

Well I think I should start cleaning. It would be so much easier if I wasn't sitting watching my favourite film, its a little distracting. But as old as Johnny Depp is he is still yummy :D

Oh here is the url to the rabbit care article I wrote last week:

Why Am I Writing This?!?!

This is another procrastination blog. Funny how you don't want to write to your blog until you try to do some actual work and then get distracted. Also I have a HUGE headache which really isn't helping me at all! Must...finish...this...chapter!

My day pretty much rocked to day. Woooo Hooo! Went to Spurs, an American restaurant, in case you didn't know. I never thought I would be able to eat a whole half a chicken, but apparently I can.

My boyfriend is AWESOME! (I am just putting that in here because I know that he reads my blog. I saw it in his Internet favorites when I was snooping...hopefully he wont read that part)

Right now I am watching YouTube tributes to Tonks and Remus from Harry Potter. I don't know why, I am more of a Snape fan. But if I had to think about it I would say that Lupin is either my 2nd or 3rd favorite Harry Potter character, along with Hermione.


Well I think I should get back to work

PS I wrote an article on rabbit care this evening. Sadly it hasn't been posted online by the site editor so I shall stick up a link when it gets put up.

Someone Stole My Lamp!

Something has been bugging me lately. I bought a book a few days ago, actually it is probably more like a week ago now, and I still have not started reading it. Every time I plan to start it something comes up. If I am not too tired from writing all night I cant carry it on the bus with me because my handbag is already full of books. I am starting to think that I am destined not to read it. It is called Mariah Mundi, The Midas Box by G.P Taylor. I have never heard of it before but I saw it in my local pound shop and thought the cover and the blurb looked interesting so I bought it. It has been a long time since I read something that no one has ever heard of. Usually I read more classical or well known literature, so reading a random pound store find is unusual for me.

I have a date tomorrow night YAY. OK it is with my boyfriend but Yay any way for going out. It has been a while since we went out together at night just the two of us, usually our best friend comes with us. I don't mind, she isn't a third wheel and we usually have a great time but it is still great to be alone for once. We used to double date a lot but since our friends boyfriend turned out to be a royal ass hole it has been just the three of us on our Saturday nights out. I really cant wait till tomorrow night! I am not meeting him till after his business class so that should give me plenty of time to get ready.

I am starting to miss my friend, Yoko. Due to university exams I have not seen her in weeks. It is strange for the two of us to go for so long without seeing each other. She has barely emailed me either....weird.

Slytherin Pride Yo!

I am returning from a fun filled weekend of nothing but Harry Potter movies. What more could a girl ask for? Well...maybe a life....but aw well. I think a lot of my blogs are going to be Hogwarts related for a while. I cant help it just seems to be all that I am doing right now, either that or writing or hanging out with my boy friend. Luckily I mixed watching Harry Potter all weekend with his wonderful company. Who could ask for much more?

Well at the moment I am currently on the hunt for a job. Yes another one. My current job has cut back my hours so much lately that I have not worked in over three weeks. I even called down to my work yesterday to collect my pay slip for this month and they didn't have it. My mum was saying that I should call into some employment agencies to see if they have any part time computer work going. I am a computer science student after all. Working in a computer environment shouldn't be too difficult, after all I have done it before.

So What to Write Today??

It has surprised me the amount of time that my university has given me off after my exams. I guess that might have been a benefit of my class having their exams so early in January. When you have spent your Christmas holiday studying they give the same length of time off school after your exams. That theory makes more sense in my head but oh well. It is probably just because all the other classes are still doing exams that there is no one to teach us.

Well since being off university I have several things done, I finally finished a short story that I have been working on for months. By working on I mean that I wrote it ages ago and never got around to redrafting it until now. I am starting to miss my old work placement where they basically let me sit at a desk and write all day. I got so much accomplished there. The only problem with that job was that the person I had to share an office with was a royal pain in the ass and I wanted to throw my monitor at her (which I didn't do by the way). Hopefully I will get more done during my break. I would love to get at least half way through the rewrite of my first novel. It annoys me how often that I rewrite some of my work but every time I do it gets that little more perfect. This time will be the last, but then again, I said that last time.

The main highlight of my January break is the amount of time that I have gotten to spend with my boyfriend. Not to mention that after my months of begging and annoying has finally started to read the Harry Potter novels. If I am going to be addicted to a series he might as well be too. When he hasn't been reading he has been attending him business classes to start up his own studio. He's a photographer and has been working freelance for a while so finally getting his own studio set up would make his life so much more easier.

With all this talk about business I have been coming up with a few of my own ideas. I would love to do them but with my writing and studying commitments I doubt that I ever will. Firstly I would love to start up my own little cafe, nothing fancy just a small place for people to sit and read in while enjoying a nice cup of coffee. I am a pretty good cook so starting up my own cafe/restaurant would be pretty fun, not to mention playing to my strengths. Also I would love to start a rabbit hotel. I could mind people's pet rabbits and other small animals while they are away on holiday. I love rabbits, I have one myself, who is currently sitting beside me munching on a rather large piece of celery I gave her.

I think that should be enough of my waffle for today xRx

Procrastination!

Ever slept so much that you woke up with a headache? That happened to me this morning. 14 hours sleep! No wonder my head hurt. Mainly because I hadn't slept in two days because of my exams. I was so sleepy.

Well the only reason that I am posting today is because I planned to write for a couple of hours but I got really distracted by YouTube and kind of lost my work ethic. Damn YouTube! The bane of my existence....I love it though.

Today I have been enjoying doing nothing. I know it sounds stupid but for the last few weeks I have been worrying about my exams and now that they are over I don't have anything to do and I am planning on enjoying it. I wont be too bored though I am staying at my boyfriend's house tomorrow because his business class got cancelled.

Well that is all I have to say today. This blog was kinda pointless and I think I should get back to work and try to get something done today at least. So over and out.

Introductions

I guess you could say that I am not like most 21 year olds. I know that everyone likes to think that but in my case I like to think that it is true. I don't go out clubbing or drinking. I don't smoke. I don't have any kids. Generally I am a bit of a nerd, and by a bit a mean a lot.

In some senses I am average. I go to university like most people my age. I have wonderful friends who may drive me a little crazy sometimes but that is what they are there for. I have a boyfriend of four years who I love so much and spend most of my time with when I am not swamped with university work or sleeping. Ah the life of a student.

Comics, anime, video games and sci-fi are my life. Graphic novel wise I will read anything from Marvel or Dc, even a little Dark Horse when the mood takes me. Oh I shall warn people in advance I LOVE X-Men. Currently I am writing this wearing an Xavier Institute T-shirt with a Nightcrawler action figure next to my laptop...I mean it...its not pretty...I have a problem. Anime wise I am really fussy but I am addicted to Death Note and Hellsing. If I were a female anime character I would have serious problems trying to decide who to go out with Alucard or L...maybe L he is less likely to get hungry and eat me.

Oh also I am 21 and still play Pokemon, childish or not I don't care. My umbreon can kick your ass three ways till Sunday.
