Where are you going? Your long face, pulling down. Don't hide away, like an ocean. You can't see, but you can smell and the sound of the waves crashin down.

1 - i feel badass with my iPhone. just saying.

2 - i'm entranced by the relationships between men. just the way they express their emotions. father and son. brother to brother. not in real life, no, that would just be creeper. more in writing and stories. books too, i suppose.

3 - when i plot, i usually start by writing down an idea. from there, they just keep coming and coming until they just stop and i walk away. it's annoying at times but at other times, so damn useful.

4 - sometimes i read stories written by peers in class and think... i could write that SO much better.

5 - i stalk people on the internet. ALL. THE. TIME.

6 - all the people in my phone have messed up names that help me remember who they are better. karys is jeffrey batswinger. dina is 'sexy ****** from the hood' and keyana is 'wannabe asian'. i'm cool, right?

7 - i can't sit through a movie without getting a totally irrelevant idea for a story.

hey Y'ALL, whatta be?

kay. i'm done with that.

so today i found out at school that one of my dance teachers died. i wasn't really close to him but it still kind of made me sad. but like everything, it takes something really small to actually make me cry after i get sad. so basically, karys and i were lunch monitoring and this teacher who always yells at us pulled a spaz and stalked us through the school to yell at us and tell us what horrible young girls we were. so then when we were complaining to our teacher i had a mini emotional breakdown. fun, no? and that's when i cried about the whole dance teacher thing.

may he rest in peace.

then so tonight, sam irwin and i went to see 'i am number four'. she was a last resort but was secretly really fun to have around. i think the people beside us were ready to kill us though as we wouldn't shut up and stop laughing. at one part where the guy was getting beat up, i was almost crying i was laughing so hard. i made a few enemies because of that, me thinks. and during the movie, the guy had an iPhone so whenever it would go off i'd always look down at my phone. the funny thing was that sam would do the same. and can i just say, alex pettyfer makes me want to jump someone. seriously. he's THAT. HOT.  so yessums, i'm just going to go now.

OH HAI. new story plot with rauden + james. pirates. royal families. magical powers. all good, no? it's actually a really angsty thing though. i'm scared of my own mind sometimes. more details to come eventually. i'm determined to plan this through before i go and ruin it with my pacing issues and such. and i kind of want to go re-read blacklisted.

lindsay got me these sick bracelets from cuba and they jangle when i move. wowza, she's trying hard to get me to forgive her and it's getting harder and harder to resist.

so i'm gonna head out now. gotta rest up for some personal training and lawson working tomorrow.

ciao.

can i just say something? it's amazing how oblivious teachers are about what i'm REALLY doing in class.

i was just thinking about it. if i don't feel like doing the work and that very moment then i...

A) Plot. this one is one of the more subtle ones as i plot usually in jot note forms and such. i also use such coded sentences that most can't figure out what i'm writing.

B) Draw. i tend to get caught occasionally while doing this but i don't care. once, instead of taking history notes, i drew a picture of a large army of elves for my friend and then handed it in instead of my notes. honestly, i could care less what they think, i get the grades to support that i'm learning.

C) Text. which is bad because i'm usually texting rachel, who's in class as well, or karys who is 90 % of the time right beside me.

D) Write. this can be inconspicuous if i'm doing it normally. but most of the time i fold it weirdly or pull faces. or say dialogue outloud so...

E) write lists or schedules. whenever we're going somewhere i always make a packing list during math. and for dance i make my schedules up from the emails i get on my phones. no one notices or cares, to be honest.

so teachers are oblivious. amen.
LEZ TALK BOUTS SOME OBR'S, YO?

yah so let's go.

KEYANA - DEAR DUMB DIARY


so basically keyana had us all cast but hadn't written a word of the play yet when it was due the next day. fun, no? so we all hung out in the hallway and gave her ideas of what to write then in the computer lab i helped her type it up with my mad typing skills.

it ended up being just okay. i was jamie. that's pretty much it, nothing interesting.

KARYS - A GREAT AND TERRIBLE BEAUTY


can i just say... shall we applaud my best friend on her script writing skills? :) though, she only did the first five or so chapters, it was still written very very well. and everyone had costumes and such and british accents.

so i was miss nightwing so i wore my black blouse with the pink flowers and then my black pencil skirt. my hair was in a bun also and i wore flats so it was all fun. honestly? karys and i had a scene together and we were awesome in it. she had to be sarcastic and bored while i was strict and almost... pretending to be nice. even when Jaylen leant out the door and yelled at people to SHUT THE HELL UP, we still continued and i got 100 % marks on my acting skills. so yeah man.

VANESSA - HP AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS


AHAHAHAHAHA. let's just say, the actors saved this play. in the practises, she honestly stood there while we all tried to get everyone to calm down and rehearse. it didn't work though so when we went in to do it... we went in blindly and just had to improv a lot of it. everyone had chopsticks as wands though. i was death eater 1 and i had a black coat and a black beany hat. now, shall i go through the scenes?

2 - so this was the wedding scene between fleur and bill. so everyone had to be walking in and i basically creeped on pretending to be a gangster with my hood up (to hide my hat as it was a sign of being a deatheater), pretending to be at the wedding and waving to people and such. so i sat down next to karys (who was hermione) and we shook hands and everyone was laughing cause they knew that i was a deatheater. so after the ceremony the music turned on and i went to walk away - towards madi and dina who were the other deatheaters and were hiding - when karys grabbed me and began to dance with me rather raucously which knocked off my hood. then, maddy and megan both dipped and came back up when megan (fleur) saw me and screamed. it was then that i cast a spell and the other deatheaters came in and we battled until they disapparated.

4 - so this is where voldemort shows up and is giving hogwarts and ultimatum. so the three of us were behind jaylen all giggling like little girls and cheering as he stood on a chair and talked. when he was done no one spoke because they weren't sure what to do. so in the silence i just yelled 'GO VOLDY! I LOVE YOU MASTER!' and madi and dina caught on. let's just say, we got a few laughs.

5 - harry goes to die. so i'm shining voldemorts shoes which i improved while he examines his nails. when potter enters her pushes me away and i hurry to stand beside him. he says his spiel when i go in teh silence because Jaylen forgot to say his lines... 'KILL HIM MASTER!' and jaylen whacks me over the head, calls me a prat and pushes me away. then he gets killed and YEAH.

7 - voldemorts telling htem their hero is dead. so ethan is just laying there and no one was saying anything to all us death eaters started cheering  and hollering. we even sang 'we are the champions' which made our teacher laugh almost until he cried. then the light side caught on and pretended to cry. then riley (neville) being HILARIOUS goes forwards and slices off naginis head and yeah then Ethan jumps up and does his speech. the three of us were booing too and madi even tried to trip ethan which got us a few laughs. when voldemort was killed though it made me laugh SO FRICKIN HARD when riley went up and checked his pulse. :D




ye so, i have to go write my second one. SEE YA.
LALALA hullo world (:

where am i? i am in the basement doing homework. what homework? well, lawson o`course cause the canadian educators of the world are cruel. plus i have/want to write the first scene in my OBR and maybe practise my speech once or twice? it's not that bad but it's still a bit blech at times. there's other stuff i should probably do but i don't think i will.

OH NOEZ. i'm beginning to really miss nanowrimo. i know, i know. it's been over since the 1st of december but it sort of just set in. before now i was just hanging out, cruising and the like and now i'm just missing it. it's a lot to go from writing 1,666 words a day to writing ony occasionally. i was talking to karys today about nanowrimo and when we'd write. we have such different style it's hilarious. it used to irritate her so much because she'd think she had so much ahead of me - because she wrote in the morning and through out the day - when i'd honestly write all 1,700 words in between eleven oclock and midnight and i couldn't write anytime before that. i don't know but that's just how i wrote.

i miss vesper and her catty remarks. i miss sebastiana nd his awkward loser-ness. i miss remy and how amazing he was at the same time as being downright evil. I WANT MY CHARACTERS BACK. i want to hug them and love them and write them. i'm going to go cry now.

KTHXBYE.
