So those books I was reading a couple posts ago. Yeah. Still reading them. Over and over again. Just finished the second one for the third time since that post. I haven't read a series this many times in a row since the days when I was obsessed with Twilight.

On another note, I'm currently in the process of climbing over a massive wall of writer's block. I've been struggling to figure out how to end this part, and how to lead up to the ending with only 8 pages left. I finally decided to forget about page count, word count and shit and just make it as long as it needs to be. Lord knows a longer part won't hurt my series, as the longest part so far is a measly 17,500 words.

So, with that, I'm going to bed. Goodnight, don't let the dream catchers bite.

Had two hospitality written exams today. I think I flunked the first one.

Finished part 5 of my story. Happy happy cupcake, even though the ending was anything but happy happy.

Gonna try to start part 6 now. This is it, the final part! If there's anything I wanted to put in before it ends, now's the time to do it.

Wish me luck!

I am sitting on my couch, posting on Mod The Sims

I'm drinking Sprite and using the Internet. I should be doing my homework right now, but it can wait 'cause I don't have much of it. Thinking about playing Sims 2, and at the same time looking up some stuff...I don't know :P

Installing my Japanese Rosetta Stone At long last!

Watching Channel V on Foxtel and posting on Mod The Sims

Sometimes, I name my story documents the strangest things. They make sense to me, but to somebody else, yeah no. Example: Vampy and Rosie story.

It's not about vampires in the slightest. Rosie is the guy.

:D

I have an email about a potential job in my inbox and now I'm too scared to open it.

You know how a lot of people have being fit and exercising as their new resolution for the year? Well, I am one of them, the year is almost gone and I did nothing about it so I am trying to save the day by looking at some schedules and such. Being thirsty as hell while doing it, too.

So the other day I ordered 28 books, mere hours after buying 5 on my Nook. That makes 33 books I need to read. Add that to the ones I have but have not read (some I've had for years), and I have a grand total of sixty-one books I have to read.

Sixty-one. Yes.

In addition to that, I have two stories going that I need to finish, a crossover between the two I want to write at some point, and a few other small writing projects, not to mention the rewrites of everything I should do eventually. In addition to that, I have two languages I should be working on learning, which break down into magazines and books to translate, flash cards to make, Rosetta Stones to use.

So you're probably thinking, "Damn, get to work, Mary!" Believe me, I'm thinking that, too. Sometimes it helps to actually go over everything I have to do and put it in writing.

Sometimes that helps. Sometimes it makes me panic. Yeah. Fun. Ramble over.

Just woken up

1.5 hours till I'll be 17.

:D

I'm sorry for double-posting, and I know I do it far too often, but I really need to ramble for a moment.

This is going to sound really weird, but... I wish I could just observe people as they go through their daily lives. Specifically people my age, and especially boys. Damn that does sound creepy. But in all seriousness, I want to watch people so I can get experience for my writing. I mean, I literally have never had a one-on-one conversation with a boy my age. At any age. Seriously. Everything I know about guys my age and romantic relationships comes from the books I've read. My mom says I write that kind of stuff well, despite never having experienced it myself.

Okay, I'm sounding reeeally weird here, so I'm going to stop before I make a fool out of myself.

Ramble over. Sorry if I creeped anyone out.

I just got this error on the site:

Error! You are already a mmeber of this group!

I'm writing a story for fun.

Wondering if this guy remembers me. I went to elementary school with him, but haven't seen or spoken to him since. I found my class pictures a couple days ago, and looked him up on Facebook. He was seriously the only person I could find that I knew back then. I sent him a friend request, and now I'm stupidly anxious for him to respond. Why? I'm not sure. I guess because I want a friend that I can actually see in real life... and that I knew from before I left public school.

I also wonder what people think happened to me, when I disappeared halfway through sixth grade. I suppose they all think I moved, or some such thing. I wonder if anyone missed me when I left. Hmm.

I'm thinking too much. But I just can't help it, with the prospect of reconnecting with an old friend imminent.

I'm gonna stop, before I sound too much like a creeper.

re-downloading after much contemplating i finally deleted some CC to make room for some new goodies out there.

So I'm going to a writing conference tomorrow and Saturday, and I have an appointment with an editor at the conference so he/she can read the first page of my book. Major yay Now I'm frantically trying to rewrite the first page so it doesn't sound so childish. I only wrote it seven months ago, but my writing has matured so much since then that the first page feels rather silly now.

I wish I had known about this thing sooner... I totally would have rewritten the entire first book. That's not an overreaction, either. There's so much that needs fixing in the first book; the tense of the narration changes a lot in the second half of it (like from past to present, said to say, etc.), among other things. For now, though, I'll just have to settle with fixing the first page. Or just leave it alone. Haven't decided yet...

Overall, though, I'm so freaking excited it's not even funny. So. Fucking. Excited. :DDDD

I finally managed to install all of my Sims 2 expansions on to my boyfriend's PC on Thursday. However, his C Drive has only 10 Gig left, so I can't copy my backup files from my old pc over. I'm not sure how to make CC work from a different hard drive, so I've just decided I shall start afresh. New sims, new custom content. Let's see how this goes.

Made a list of names I've used in my stories. My most commonly used first letters? Well, let's see...

I've used 12 A names, 8 C names, 7 S names, and 6 M names. Honorable mentions include B and D with 4 each.

Anyways... the writing conference went well. In the week since, I've started a(nother) new story, and come to realize how much I love the name Tessa.

Well after that second job interview I had, I've been offered a week's trial, starting tomorrow, and I am so nervous. I feel as if I'm so close right now, but I will be devastated if they don't like me enough to actually give me the job. I was honestly really surprised they asked me for the trial week as I didn't think I was particularly outstanding in the interview. I keep telling myself things happen for a reason and things have a way of working out, but oh god, I don't know right now.

Hello all,

Hope everything has been going swell with you girls! My year has been transformative!

I was going to say that I'm writing... but let's be honest.

Listening to Lorde on full blast, ain't even trying to write.

<3

Watching Strictly Come Dancing and texting my girlfriend

Thinking of black butler, god I love that anime and I keep humming a tune from it.

Watched Wolf Children. I've never cried at a movie so much.

Ame <3

Cleaning

Watching the Hunger Games

Trying to make this mod because I don't feel like doing work right now.

listening to Lady Antebellum's Christmas album, it's so sweet

Watching Rude Tube and Skyping with my girlfriend

Just created a Sims house based on the house in my current story. I think I did a pretty good job...

I'm eating 'Milka' chocolate.It tastes good :3

Waiting for my husband... who is always late. Ugh.

Listening to "Don't Speak" by No Doubt. I've always been obsessed with this song. Emailing a friend in San Diego, who I may potentially be living with soon.

Watching the Viz Dub of Sailor Moon. I can actually recommend to others to watch it because the writing is decent as in there is no cuts or censorship and Naoko Takeuchi hand picked the cast to voice.

I also am working on a book with a Sailor Moon themed magical girl motif. The heroes are young women with a male ally

Just jotting down some plans to help attain my future endeavors a little more smoothly.

.... can I have your life?

Sitting on my bed, absent mindedly chewing on a pen.

It's 3AM and I'm having trouble sleeping. Took 2 Tylenol PM's as a sleep aid and I'm just waiting for them to kick in. Thinking a lot about how to get my first client. I'm a freelance writer as of October 1st, and I'm a little impatient at getting my foot in the door. But I'm not giving up that easily!

5PM CST. Just uploaded another small set of default replacement clothes on PlumbBobKeep. You'd think after having uploaded several times, it would get easier. But, I am just as nervous today as I was the first time I uploaded something. "Will they like it?, Will anyone download it? Did I forget anything?" Argh!

*wipes dust off of social group* Is this group still around!?!?!? Wow! I'm shook.

Anyway I'm getting back into Sims so I may be active again. Life has been a handful. I unexpectedly lost my dad last December and it was tough. Life just throws you a curveball and you never know when. Me and my hubby relocated from San Diego and now live in Rancho Palos Verdes, it's a pretty nice place for our growing family. We'll be first time parents this November. A little boy of our own. Can't wait to get back into the Sims after what?? Like 5 years I think?

See y'all around.
