insert witty title here

so today's the last day of BEDA. wow....
anyway, the things i wanna talk about:
- the usual list
- what's next
- other stuff...

1. the things i did today:
- ate a big breakfast... well, big for me, consisting of the marshmallows from the lucky charms, 2.7 hash browns, and an apple. yum yum.
- washed my hair... i don't remember if i washed it earlier this week, so i just did it again anyway.
- started getting my stuff together so i can move out easy on Monday

what's next: i don't want to just disappear after this month just to reappear in August, but i also don't wanna schedule myself when i don't have to, so i think i'm just going to blog whenever i think there's something to say. i don't want to have short posts like before, so maybe i'll just sum things up in at the end of the week or something... maybe. i still have to figure things out.

other news:
- inception levels medium-low
- i've been having this problem a lot in the last week or two. when i go to search for inception stuff to reblog, like memes and nice screenshots, i always come across some slash fanart. now, i have nothing against the people who do this or the art itself or gay people, but aaaaaaaaaah. the anime style stuff isn't so bad, but there are some people who are really good, and the people in the pictures look just like the actors. that's the stuff that freaks me out. and it'll come up totally unexpectedly, like "oh quote about Chris Nolan, funny meme, BOOM sex!" and i'm just like "aaaaaaaaaah". okay, enough of that.
- school's over on Monday, and then summer!!!! i don't know what all is going on though. i think i'm getting a job, and we might be going to Florida, but i'm not sure about all that yet.

that's all for today. looks like i ended BEDA the way i wanted :D

:)

so today is day 29 of BEDA. tomorrow the daily blogging ends until August. i can't believe it's almost done. also funny how the end of BEDA is is two days before my last exam of the year.
i don't really know what to talk about, so i'll do some lists. what i did after i wrote my blog yesterday:
- was the first to finish my historical geo exam. i think i did pretty well, and i tried for some extra credit. don't know if i'll get it because i only half answered the question
- sold a book for 9 dollars, even though i paid at least 60 for it
- watched the first 1 1/2 of inception. ended it early because i've been going to sleep at 8:30 (you'd never believe that i was in college)

the usual news:
- boring class, and i have to go to see if i have a final.
- nothing else, might finish inception, might not... i won't die if i don't (surprisingly)
- ^^^ probably won't and end up watching SMA bloopers of communitychannel, per usual
- inception levels at medium.

something about inception levels: i noticed that my inception levels were at an all time high almost a month after i first watched it, but since then the levels have been really low in comparison, especially after I bought the soundtrack. i think the further i distance myself from actual inception stuff (the movie, the OST), the lower the levels.
of course, there's also the observation that i report my inception levels to ya'll, or the fact that i even think i have inception levels, or that i've been incepted at all. but yeah, that's what i noticed.

so that's all for today. this post ended up longer than i thought it would be, so that's a win, i guess.

this is early... again...

yup, i'm back again at an early time to write a blog. i have my first exam soon, and i have to sell back books today, so i'm just gonna write this now, because chances are that i'm gonna lay in bed later.

so today's things... oh wait... i already told you... oh well! in other news:
- inception levels keep fluctuating between medium and high
- gonna finish my SMA marathon, second one this week... yes, i know, but hey, at least it's not community channel
- only one dream i can remember, but it was short and mundane

so yeah, this post is weak compared to yesterday's. sorry bout that. hopefully i can go out with a bang for the last two days of BEDA

Wednesday, April 27, 2011

this is also early

ah, Wednesday, the day i've come to hate the most. even more than Monday. why? because i have tree classes today, and they're all back to back, so once i leave the room at 12:30, i may not get back in until 8. and this stresses me to no end. which is why my Wednesday's posts have come late, early, or during the afternoon as a result of me skipping class. i hate this day, but i'm trucking through today because i've skipped one class twice in a row, and i have to go to see if i'm having a final. so, a pre-cap of today:

- boring class
- historical geo lab, no final, so it's just gonna be the last day of lecture really
- pre-calc for exam studying

so yeah, nothing extra fun today. in other news:

- i slept in this morning
- inception levels at high
- Leonardo DiCaprio's image has showed up in my dreams more than once in the past week. i haven't thought of it much, but the dream i had this morning basically yelled at me to write about it. there's this card game called Match... i have NO idea what it's all about, but it keeps showing up. i think it's based off of a movie that's a remake of an old movie (not real ones, of course), but i haven't seen this movie... so, in my latest dream, i was in a toy store. i think 'd been there before, but i'm not sure... but anyway, i turn around after walking over to these little people toys, i turn around and there's these gigantic posters for the card game... with Leo's face on them. i'm gonna look it all up to see what it might mean...

so that's all for today. hopefully this long post makes up for my last five short boring ones.

ginny after dark, pt 3

even though part two isn't named, my post "in a flash" was posted after 9 also.

so today was a good day. went shopping, got to see my cousins, good stuff. unfortunately for you, that means there's not a lot to write about... except my usual list:
- got new rings :)
- got a new daft punk shirt :D
- inception was unusually low

in all, good stuff... that's the second time i said that.

in other news: you guys know that easter is tomorrow, and i've gotta go to church. that's not a bad thing, except that when i go to church sometimes i cry, and i hate crying... oh well.

so today...

first off, damn it Hayley! she led me to this color quiz thing, and she got a perfect score, while i got a 43. that's not bad, but it's not Hayley's perfect 0. >:O

so anyways, today's news:
- Daft Punk ruled my mind, but Inception refused a back seat and took shotgun
- SMA marathon this morning and afternoon, very needed
- finally something good on VH1 tonight.
- i got to come home this weekend :D

that's all for today. i know this is nothing compared to my post yesterday, but you know.

storytelling

so i was reading Hayley's newest blog post when she said something that really struck me. she was talking about how things like BEDA kinda force people to try and be creative, while the results aren't always as such. the reason this really resonated with me is because this is my first ever BEDA (seeing as i've only had this blog since last fall) and this is my basic reality.

another reason that this really spoke to me is because she also mentioned NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), something that i was introduced to last year by Kristina Horner. it's basically what it sounds like: in November, writers use the month to write a 50,000 word novel. i didn't do it last year because it came upon me pretty much by surprise, and also because i'm really not into my own writing abilities. it sounds like fun, but the problem is exactly what Hayley and Kayley said above: it forces you to try to be creative, and the results aren't always the best. i see things like this as a challenge though, because no one has to do NanoWriMo, and everyone knows that you can't write a good book in just a month.

i feel the same way about BEDA: it's a challenge that you take. for me, it's a challenge for my memory. it's not the best, and i'm doing BEDA to challenge myself to remember to do these, and also as a challenge to follow through on something for once. of course, not all of my posts are of the best quality, but i haven't missed one blog this month. i definitely plan on doing Blog Everyday in August as well, and if all goes well, maybe NaNoWriMo will be in order :)

inception is especially high today, due to the purchase of the soundtrack

things to do...

so i'm not really doing anything today, and i'm not going to class til tonight, so there are a few things that i could do today:

- finally finish bratz
- watch a movie
- or my usual: lay in bed, reblog, and listen to either audio reviews or communitychannel

the third seems like the most likely, though i'm probably gonna combine 1 and 3. i'm boring today :(

and don't worry, inception is high today also.

story telling

i finished Phil Plait's book. it was a very good read. it is really interesting to see what some people believe to be real.

one of the things that i really don't get though is astrology. it really amazes me that there are people who think that the planets really influence the way we live our lives. it's funny how things that make sense to some people make absolutely no sense to others.

in other news:
- i'm watching clifford :D
- inception is high today

not much else to say.

fuuuuuuuuu

so on my last post, i was all freaked out by something, but it turns out i was WRONG. he's still just Eames D:
so um... that bottom update is just gonna disappear, okay guise?

but anyway, i'm pretty sure nothings gonna happen today, so i'm just gonna tell you some other stuff about yesterday and early this morning.

1. i said that the movie inception was my boyfriend.

2. just so you guys know, i still think inception is real... i just don't know what it's implanted in my brain yet... maybe inception planted inception in my brain... hm...

3. early this morning i had a dream that had Tom Hardy, Christopher Nolan,, and Christian Bale in it. and i was Anne Hathaway... i think... there was a fire, and my family magically appeared in it too... i don't remember much else.

4. i've started tweeting my dreams when they happen,and it's helping me remember them. this is very good for me. :)

that's all as of now. of course, i'll update you guys if something happens later

the lovely of it all

hello, and welcome to another day of BEDA. today's topics include
- Tron: Legacy
- Inception
- lying
- youtube
so let's get on with it!

1. i watched Tron last night. it was a very emotional experience for me, from the 200 'aaaaaw' moments when there were really only, like, 7 max, to the screaming i did when Tron switched back sides. let me not forget the doom of Castor *shudder* and how they played my three favorite songs from the soundtrack during the end credits and i couldn't move off of the couch until they were comepletely over. i was right in one of my previous posts about how most of the cast would freak me out, and i spent quite a bit of time stranded in the uncanny valley because of the opening scenes. overall, it was an amazing experience, and the movie was wonderful :)

2. yesterday was a exactly one month after i watched inception. i just noticed this a few minutes ago. if you go to my tumblr posts from yesterday, i posted a TON of inception stuff... it's baaaack.

3. this is pretty minor. i said that i was gonna watch batman yesterday and i didn't. if anything, i lied to myself because i was telling myself 'okay, saturday is the day that you're going to watch Batman Begins, and you are GOING to watch it." and Tron got me instead. i mean, it was night time, and i also told myself that i'm only going to watch Tron in complete darkness. it was the perfect environment. but enough of that.

4. so inspired by one of Hayley's posts, i'm gonna give a list of youtubers called "youtubers you can watch for hours on end, and repeatedly, if need be."
- communitychannel
- wheezywaiter
- vlogbrothers
- nerimon
- livelavalive
- hayleyghoover

these are the ones i marathon the most. of course there are tons of amazing youtubers, but these are the videos i watch when i'm just laying in bed looking dumb. and the vlogbrothers videos usually end up teaching you something.

that's all for today. tune in tomorrow for... well, we'll see.

good day, horrible weather

welcome to day 16 of BEDA, in which i tell you about the good things that happened today:

- i got a sparkly shirt :D
- i got DH part 1 AND Tron: Legacy :D
- i went to the mall :D

in other news: i'm breaking down my inception. all my walls are Harry Potter now, and i've been thinking about TDK and DH for most of the day, with a sprinkling of Tron.

in all, today was a successful day, despite the horrid rain

mood: yay!

ps: sorry about the short posts. hopefully i'll find something substantial to talk about later on.

Friday, April 15, 2011

this is early

so after yesterday's breakthrough in thinking, my mind is back to inception. yup. see what i mean about everything going back to inception?

anyways, in today's developments:
- i'm finally washing my clothes
- i'm going home today
- my mom is buying deathly hallows part 1, because it comes out today and my mom supports my magical lifestyle (if only she'd buy me a wand...)
- today is the last day of the DeFranco Nation Movie Club :sadface:
- i think i'm gonna buy the what's her face game. it's only 14 dollars. hopefully i can get it mailed to my mom's house by tomorrow (if i buy it)

funny how i did more in the last few hours than i did in all of yesterday.

in other news: it's Emma Watson's birthday!

in a flash

i was in my bed listening to Daft Punk, happy with my productive day of tumblr reblogging when it hit me: i didn't write a blog post yet.

to be honest, i was avoiding it again because i hadn't really done anything. just class and then sitting in my room until dinner. nothing unusually for a Thursday this semester. i can't even be cool like Hayley and tell you what i ate, because i only had one meal.

there is one thing to report though: for the first time in a long time, my mind was occupied by The Departed for at least half of the day. this is a big development for me at this point in my life.

everything goes back to inception

because i know that i'll be busy all day, i'm just gonna write this now. here's a precap (oh, snap!) of my day:

- one boring class
- historical geo lab
- maybe some time to relax
- exam in pre-calc
- eat
- sleep

ta-da! but not really. in other news:
i had a dream yesterday that Mitchell Davis made a video with Joseph Gordon-Levitt. i can't remember what it was about, but there were some funny accents.

^^ see? everything leads goes back to inception. this is what my life has come to, watching communitychannel videos and constantly thinking about Leonardo DiCaprio and co. yup.

mood: muuuh
listening to: think about, think real hard.

9:13
**late night updates (that prove that everything goes back to inception)**:
- my ipod walls are inception
- my desktop wall is Tom Hardy's face, soon to be another inception wall.
- i've reblogged three pics of Jose.
- i was thinking about it when i wasn't paying attention in my first class.

have i proven my point?

Tuesday, April 12, 2011

okay, now we've reached that point

i've been trying to avoid writing a post for as long as possible, because i have nothing to write about. i'll just tell you some stuff i did today.

- got my classes, even thought i got the time and dates confused :0
- went to class (mundane, mundane)
- thought about and did things pertaining to inception
- washed my hair (oh, joy!)
- lied in bed and looked dumb while watching communitychannel

which leads to what i'm doing now: writing this while watching communitychannel. that's it. sorry for the short post, but i was so boring today.

mood: indifferent
listening to: said it above :)

Monday, April 11, 2011

and we've reached that point

in BEDA where the topics get slim. actually, i got to that point that night i blogged about that darn gif. but either way i've got a couple of things to talk about

1. on the topic of my last post: it has come to my attention that Michael Myers does have a motive, though extremely simple. apparently, the reason he keeps killing is because he wants to relive his original murder. even though i've seen Halloween quite a few times, i never caught this. it might have to do with the fact that i tune out Dr. Loomis whenever he starts talking :P

2. Inception. i'm starting to think that it's a real thing, as crazy as that sounds.* i've only watched the movie once, and that was March 17th, almost a month ago. i'm still thinking about that movie everyday, almost all the time. i've tweeted about it more than once in the last few days. it's kinda freaking me out. i think about movies a lot, but hardly ever like this. Harry Potter is the only other thing that dwells on in my mind for this long. i'm just gonna assume that this is a sign of a great movie and move on to the next topic, which is

3. Tron: Legacy (surprised? you shouldn't be.) i've been thinking about this a lot too. this has to do with he fact that i listen to the soundtrack every night. the strange thing isn't that though: it's that i haven't seen the movie. and also, i've come to the conclusion that i'm creeped out by the majority of the cast and that this will hinder me in moving foward to finally seeing this movie... yeah.

so that's all i have for tonight. i think i just proved myself wrong anyway...

mood: good (finally!)

*i also wanna blame the posters for furthering the inception. my desktop and ipod both have inception walls. it's in my technology too :0
**yes, i know i've been watching her almost everyday. she's just that good

you could cut a hoe...

day 10 of BEDA. topic: slashers

not like slashers like people who write slash though... you probably didn't even think of that. but anyway, i'm talking about the fictional movie killers. i was on the ANOES forums and this girl started a discussion asking about the merchandise from other series and she said this about the Friday the 13th series:

"But I think that's one reason why I'd like to see something like HNWJ from Fri 13, is b/c I've always seen the Fri 13 series as mindless chaos, just blood guts, gore and BOOBS and profanity; and Jason just seems so typical to me, big guy wearing a mask killing people *at least Michael was original*"

now, i'm not, like, insulted or anything. as much as i love Jason, i'm not enamored with the F13 series. it just seems like everyone thinks he's just out to kill for no reason, when i know it's not like that at all.

now it's not that it's a misconception, per say, because after he comes back form the end he does become a killing machine, but in the beginning it wasn't really like that. it's inevitable that he'll get compared to Michael because of what Jason becomes after part 4, and then you factor in Leatherface and you'd think you'd have three of the same but (surprise!) you don't.

with classic Michael, it's kind of hard to explain. i can't really tell you why he did what he did, because with the continuity i follow (1, 2, H20, Resurrection), your guess is as good as mine. it really seems like he just kills for no reason, and if he does have a reason, he sure didn't tell any of us. it really seems like there's nothing behind that mask. he's not mindless, but it just seems like there's no one there. remake Michael is more there, for lack of a phrase. he had motivation in the beginning, at least for breaking out of the loony bin. his reason for killing is still lost on me (if there was one). i'm hoping it's not because he feels wronged or something, because that would be quite backwards.

(excuse me if i get a little sappy after this.) on Leatherface's wikipedia page is says that the reason Leatherface doesn't talk and wears a mask is because without the mask, he's nothing. the mask is him. this kinda makes sense when it comes to original Leatherface, i think. i do know that he has a motivation though. the thing is that he doesn't know any better than killing people. he was raised thinking that killing people is okay, whatever you have to do for the family. technically he's just getting by. this goes fr both of them. when it comes down to the mask though, remake Leatherface is a person. he's still himself without the mask on.

now with Jason it's a completely different story. he kills because a) his mom would want him to and b) he feels wronged. in his case he actually was wronged: they almost drowned him. not that that justifies what he does, but at least they did something to him. up until the 4th movie that was his thing. after he came back in the 6th movie it didn't matter because he was a zombie thing anyway. it's the almost exact same thing with remake Jason: they almost killed him and killed his mom (don't know if she was crazy like old Jason's mom), so he started killing them back. he wasn't always a zombie thing, that's just how it turned out.

hopefully i helped you guys see that all killers are not created equally.

p.s.: i'm not gonna get into Freddy and stuff, because he doesn't even fall into the same category.

mood: kinda okay... i guess

i don't really have anything to talk about really, so i'll just tell you some other stuff...

second, i had sherbet today :D

stuff about a movie i haven't seen yet

so i was randomly thinking about Tron, which is something i do a lot, and i was thinking about all the things Sam did that i could never do. the only problem is that the only things i've seen Sam 'do' are from clips... because i still haven't seen Tron: Legacy yet. but still, from what i've seen he's waaaaaay braver than me, because i'm a wuss :P

like, for starters, when alan tells him he got that page, from what it seems he just goes down to the arcade. i would've had to think about that long and hard. especially because i'm terrified of ghosts. and then after i got zapped there i would've never left the building...

for two, it seems like he'll just talk to ANYONE. i wouldn't talk to anyone. i guess this is partly because most of the people on the Grid freak me out. and having a drink with Castor? i wouldn't take a drink from someone like him. i wouldn't even get close enough to him to talk.

and Clu... just no... like, i would cry.

so yeah... basically, i'd go to the grid and just go to sleep... forever.

leading men

day 7 of BEDA, and today's topic is dudes :)

so i was on tumblr, and i happened to come across this blog that was obssessed, and i mean OBSESSED, with the cast of inception. the captions on the pictures made me think about crushing on celebs and what not.

now, i do not consider myself a fangirl. not because i'm above it (no one is above being a freak... except maybe Morgan Freeman), but because i don't freak out everytime one of my fave dude actors is on tv or something. not that being a fangirl is a bad thing or anything

i want to like actors because they can act, not just because they're cute. that's my main thing. i used to be that kind of fan, but i'm really trying to move away from that. it feels... shallow, and i don't wanna be shallow like i used to be.

luckily, i have impeccably good taste in 'leading' men, so they're all good actors. this makes my job a lot easier.

moral of the story: i don't want to go crazy again, like i did when i was younger.

in other news, that blog i mentioned in the beginning of the post, that's the one that had to gif of Tom Hardy in all his glory... can't unsee that...

ginny after dark

welcome to the late night edition of BEDA... and by late night, i mean after 9.

so what to talk about tonight? should i talk about how i watched GoF with the rifftrax? should i talk about some other things i did today? should i mention that i saw a LOT of Tom Hardy? i'll just talk about all of it, i guess.

so first things first, i spent my morning reblogging things on tumblr. i had such fun, and i found two new blogs to follow. lots of nerd jokes and nericoollike pics (and michael aranda. can't forget michael aranda).

second, i watched GoF today for the first time in a looooong tinme, and man, it was great. i actually was on the verge of tears twice watching it this time. most emotional movie watching experience EVAR.

third... i saw Tom Hardy's pene. there, i said it! i seen it, and that was a LOT more than i had been hoping to see... i know, i can't believe it either. damn tumblr gif's

that's all for today. sorry it's so short, but all that stuff is actually productive for a day off for me. at least i didn't lay in bed and listen to spill reviews all day :P

obi wan and chicken, domesticated

welcome to day 5 of BEDA. today i regret to inform you that i'm not going to bitch about Silk Spectre II and Dr. Manhattan. i'm actually feeling decent today, so i don't want to be negative.

so anyway, the thing that i do want to talk about is Bad Astronomy. i got lucky and came across Phil Plait's book when i was looking for pretty pictures books of space stuff, and boy am i glad that i picked it up. this book is opening my eyes to how much the general public doesn't know about science in general, let alone specifics.

its funny though. the first chapter in part 1 of the book is about people balancing eggs on the first day of spring. i have never heard of this before, and i my first thought was 'wtf? why would someone do that?". but there are people that belive that there's something about the gravity because of the earth's alignment of the sun, but really? it still makes no sense. it's just amazing what some people don't know about the mechanisms of their own world.

the third chapter of part 1 mentions Han Solo talking about how he can make a race in 12 parsecs when parsecs are a distance measurment, not a time measurment. that's alos a really cool part. Phil lays out all these sayings that that have been twisted. let's just say that i'll never use light-years the wrong way :)

a little short today, but that's okay.

hello everyone, and welcome to the fourth installment of blog everyday in april. today's topic: :(

but not really. i do feel like crap, but i'm not gonna bother you all with that. no dreams to relay that i can think of, so i'm gonna talk about disney channel.

so as you all might know, shows on the disney channel have taken a turn for the worse ever since that's so raven ended. i think i can trace it back to the start of the problem: Hannah Montana. now here's the problem: when that show started, it was new and different, not to mention the fact that the first season and a half was actually funny. maybe i shouldn't blame it all on Hannah and co. i think the problem really started all these other shows came on and copied Hannah's comedy and delivery. because of that, things got old fast.

now, there was a time that i really wanted to like these shows and movies, but as time went on and the quality went down, i just gave up. there are times where i still wish i could like these shows, but i just shake my head and go watch something on Nick Jr. it really bothers me that i can't even praise these shows and actors without mentioning their downfalls. i hate it, but it's inevitable.

now after all that, there are some things from disney channel that i do like HSM 3 is the best disney channel movie. there are people who actually can act and sing, like Zac Efron and Demi Lovato (respectively... even though Zac's got singing chops too). it's just that they make people who are good at one thing cross over into the other. almost everyone who is a main character in a tv show is also a singer, and everyone who sings is on a tv show. like, it's fine with Miley, because that's the whole point of Hannah Montana in the first place, but did Brigit Mendler need to sing anything? no. and on the other side you have the Jonas Bros. who are phenomenal singers, IMO, who can't act for shit. why do they have their own tv show? it just makes no sense to me.

and what makes me laugh is that the shows on abc family aren't really any different, but i'm not even gonna get into that. let's just say that i finally saw the light halfway through the second season of Secret Life, and even that was too long.

okay... i'm gonna stop being a bitch now :)

more stuff.

not a lot to say today.

so i was watching a movie that had Jeff Bridges in it from the 80's, and i had tweeted that he wasn't as creepy looking as the cg 80's Jeff Bridges from Tron: Legacy. but then i started to watch the movie more... and look at him more... and i got totally creeped out again. turns out that young Jeff Bridges just freaks me out. can't figure out why though... i guess i'll just have to blame the uncanny valley for ruining it for me. doesn't help that he tried to kill Glenn Close in the movie

but still... he's not as creepy as Castor... *shudder*

Mood: creeped again...

blog every day in april...

ah! or something like that...

i'm attempting BEDA. i have a feeling it means there will be short posts again (after i got rid of them all!), but yeah, wutevs.

first things first... i had a dream about Franklin, like the tv show. i'm sleeping on the couch in the living room this weekend because i want to wake up and watch cartoons (bluuuue's cluuuuues). Franklin was on and it was some episode about a submarine or something. in the dream they had, like, an actual submarine. it was weird, but normal compared to some other dreams i've had. at least i can remember it.

second things... you get it... you know how abc family likes to have movie marathons? sometimes they're good... like REALLY good, like Harry Potter weekends and the disney movies and such. today though, as if to cancel out all the good of them playing Monsters Inc. tonight, they're having a Bring It On marathon. if you aren't familiar with abc family, it means they play every bring it on movie except the first one, which is really the only good one. it got me thinking about how the sequels kinda lost the original purpose of the first movie. like, the first one isn't the best movie, or even a great comedy, but it was a decent satire of competitive cheerleading . as they started making sequels, it just turned into 'white girl's team verses black girl's team, black girls make white girl see what cheerleading is really about'. add that to the steadily falling quality of acting and comedy, and you've got some shitty movies. the only one that did something a little original was the latest one, even if it is just another romeo and juliet story. either way, the moral of the story is, abc family needs to have more disney movie marathons and STOP with the shitty teen dramas. seriously.

Mood: hm...

man, i'm on a roll

two posts within three days? oh yeah...

so first, i've been looking at my old notebooks, reading through poorly written stories of my past. and they are VERY poorly written. these are the kind of things that made me realise that i'm not a writer and that i probably never will be. and i wrote some crazy stuff too... like, i have one story where a guy is dating two guys and tried to get another guy to date him too. like seriously... but yeah, what can you do?

even so, it's funny to see all the stories that i started writing that i never finished. i even tried to write a weird HP fanfic... i have no idea where it was going (probably because i wrote it 2 years ago). also found the first drafts of the HSM i mentioned above. somehow, they're worse than the second drafts i posted to FF.net. the one decent thing i found was part of this series that i wrote (never finished, what's new) based on the Georgia Nicholson series. it's pretty good until it gets to the part where the main character thinks she's psychic, but even so, it's still okay. the other somewhat decent thing that's in that book is this 'horror' anthology that i started last year based on urban legends. i need to read through them again to make sure they really don't suck :P

also found some other random stuff like the script to the first two episodes of MLaD, a weird twilight thingy, and a very strange take on alice in wonderland involving drugs, a weirdo hippy and some creeps.

now you might think that i'll end this with something about how the past shapes the future blar blar, but i'm no vlog brother, so i'm gonna end it there.

(warning: i'm gonna delete A LOT of my old posts, because i want to do clean up :P )

Mood: semi-nostalgic, cleany... if that makes sense...
