Wow, has it really been a month since I posted on this? I’ve been so busy trying to get all my class work out-of-the-way and trying to find a job that this really didn’t even cross my mind. Wow, that sounds horrible, we all forgot about our like…two…faithful readers. Okay that makes it sound worse. =( Any who, you’ve probably judged by the title I will be talking about the weather and much more. So…here we go…*deep breathe*. Hold on for the ride. =)
1) Okay, so central Tx just got hit with some pretty bad storms. First we had amazing weather were it was above 70 for weeks. Then all of a sudden, BOOM! This storm line blows through and everyone’s ducking for cover as we’re pelted with hail, clouds so dark it looks like night-time and lightening that would have made Benjamin Franklin rethink his kite experiment. Then it was cold, as in the 40′s at night cold. *shivers and bundles up*. As you’ve guess I do not really like the cold. Maybe growing up in New York where I had snow balls thrown in my face has something to do with it. And today it is back into the 70′s. I guess we’re staying true to our motto, “Don’t like the weather in Texas? Stick around it’ll change”.
2) Daylight savings time has killed me! It’s jacked me up soooooo much. The sun comes up at sixish in the morning, making me feel like I’m late every morning, so I fly out of bed early and then get cranky because I’m up early. And as those of you who know me best, you know I. Am. Not. A morning person. And the sun doesn’t set until 8ish at night. So now, I’m sitting around, like I’ve got time to do this or that before I go to sleep. Then I look down and it’s almost 10 and I’m pulling my hair out and running like a chicken with its head cut off.
3) Bad luck seems to follow me everywhere. I have yet again cut my finger, this time with a sharper knife. It’s like the knives just keep going up in level every time. “note to self, remember to never play with sharp objects”. I cut myself while I was dicing a pickle, so I go put a band-aid on it so I can cut up the onion, I am not going to repeat what I said as I felt the stinging and saw the blood welling up. =) That’ll be left to your imagination. Then, as I was cutting the onion, the knife hit the band-aid. If I had not put that on, I would have cut myself twice in the same night. I don’t know if I’m just hardheaded or stupid but I have yet to give up cooking…I may be giving up a thumb first.
4) I have a word to say to all you out there who hate on people because they can do stuff you can’t. Stop it! I’m so tired of hearing criticism on my writing or my drawing from people who can’t even do it themselves. Don’t get me wrong, I like putting my stuff up for opinions and while I don’t like being told it needs fixing, I grit my teeth and buck up and redo it. However, these are people who can do it and know what they’re talking about it. I got told that I needed to fix certain aspects of a picture by a person who apparently hasn’t painted in their life because they didn’t make any sense and they told me to mix two colors that didn’t even go together, or with the painting. I was sitting there like…What? That’s when you give them a you’re stupid look and walk away.
5) There are a ton of books coming out that I want! And movies that I am determined to go see. The hunger games and The dark knight Rising! One is out and I can’t wait to see it, the next comes out right before my birthday so that is what we shall be doing for my birthday=) Aaaaand, the last Maximum ride book comes out in August and many others are either already out, or are coming out.
6) I am working my butt off on a story that I’ve been pushing the deadline back and back. I know everyone is impatient but I can’t force it out. One it’ll suck! and Two, it just doesn’t happen with me. I mean, I could be writing more than I do now, but there are times where I just sit in front of the screen and stare because nothing comes. Oh, it just dawned on me that you have no idea what I’m talking about. Ok, I’m writing a book…well, let me just give you the overview like they do on the back of books.
“Okay, a girl becomes a freshman in highschool and meets a really weird family. They all have secrets to hide and she discovers them. She also finds out that she has a few secrets she didn’t know about. They are a family of vampires and she has something to do with why they, and other vampires are converging on the area. As fighting breaks out over her, she has to come to terms with what she is and how it’s going to affect her and those around her. But most importantly, how to decided who to side with. The strange family, the hunters, or the ones threatening her family and friends if she doesn’t help them become truly immortal”.
Sorry it’s kind of jumbled but I didn’t want to give too much away. And no, it is not like Twilight. Trust me, my vampires do not sparkle, my werewolves are really werewolves and the main character doesn’t have choice of whither to transform or not, she has to or she dies.
