Change.

Lots has passed.  I feel like with this upcoming year, I am leaving a lot behind.  One year left until college?  That's crazy!
     I got a new job.  It's at a clothing store that's opening at our mall here.  In fact, today was my last day at Braum's.  It's weird now, thinking it's over.  I.... may miss it, just a bit.  I made lots of friends, and unless I visit them at work, I doubt I'll ever see them again.  But...maybe because of that, I'm glad a left.  There was a certain part of me I got from it I'm glad to leave.
    I'm still working on my book.  I've changed it though, it's about demon's or something now,(Dunno if I said that in another post..) and I've been thinking about it none stop.  I'm already attached to my characters, and I haven't even started writing about them yet!  It's difficult for me to sit down and write, I feel as though I have to face a part of myself, if I really want to make a book, it will be final.  I don't know, I guess I'm just a bit  conflicted right now.
   Harvest Moon has been fun, been playing LOADS of that.  And I got married in the game...and now I don't know what to do anymore.  *sigh*
    Well, I'm gonna start writing more of that book, and I'll put up some later..

  

Limited Patience

So....Today I had my English AP test.  And, no, I'm not going to talk about the content.  That would make my test 'invalid' as they love to say while you're taking it.  No- I'm gonna talk about the girl sitting next to me.  The test is about 4 hours long, and in the large room with many table,  you are seated at your own small table to share with one other, who would sit next to you.  When we first started, my table sharer had not arrived, and I thought maybe I had gotten lucky, and would get the whole table to myself!  But...no such luck.  The girl came and took a seat next to me...  And so it began.  I'm one of those people, who likes no noise or nonsense during test taking.  I get distracted easily.  Well, I started hearing clicking noises... small but  high pitched sound, a continuous clicking set to an annoying rhythm...  I ignored it to the best of my ablility, which was pretty good actually.  BUT THEN...she moved her legs so that they were facing me, and she began to kick my chair on occasion, and even push it a bit.... I was deeply disturbed, and tried to move my chair so she would stop, but her legs stopped me from budging.  Then....she started reading loudly to herself, like some kind of raspy whisper...  Well, in the end, we both came out alive, but I really thought I might die from annoyance.  Okay, I'm done complaining.... Everything went great after that. 
   Here I have some pictures and things from today.  Some doodles.... I'm still working on that story.   Still not totally set on it, but I've been making some more characters, and the two men are some of them.  A picture of the Virgin Mary from the front of our church. I thought it was beautiful.

Sherlocked

M'kay, so....it hasn't even been very long since I last wrote- but SOOOO much seems to have happened!  I got confirmed into the Catholic Church, and I feel like my faith has been saved.  I pray all the time now, I feel a complete happiness that I never have previously had- a feeling my teacher has said you can only get with faith.  And I have it!  I was losing it before- I never prayed, I doubted everything, my relationships were going down hill...but now, it's all fine.  As though my problems (most of them)  just resolved themselves on their own!  It's amazing.  And it's because of my teacher, I swear, he was truly inspiring.  I want to write his name, but I'll just have to give him credit as "Mr.P".  A wonderful, amazing teacher.  I'm sad that classes have ended now... :'( For religious reasons and because I have people I want to see... 
     ANYWAY, I've really gotten into the BBC show "Sherlock" with Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.  It's a present day Sherlock Holmes, but I think it's just absolutely wonderful.  One of the co-producers is Steven Moffat, who also does Doctor Who, so the slightly similar elements make it even better.  http://www.thescienceofdeduction.co.uk/ This is a link to the fictional blog of Holmes from the series...after watching, I've become very interested in the habits of people, and how to read and deduce their actions and appearance... 
     This fall on CBS, a show called "Elementary" is coming out, and it's another modern day Sherlock Holmes, only he's in Manhattan.  I saw the commercial, looks alright, but the thing that's really got me is....that Dr. John Watson... Is now Dr. JOAN Watson.  I'm just wondering how they're going to make the transition of the traditionally male character into a woman.  They'll probably end up putting in some romance between them, and somehow I feel that would ruin it all... but I dunno, maybe it'll be an awesome show!  I'll just have to wait and see..

Emma and Friends...(hah)

Just a pic of some of the characters that'll be in the story..

Still not totally set on one idea....

So, I decided that in my story, the main character is going to move to Oklahoma, to the town where I live, because, I feel as though I will know what I am describing and writing about.  So it will be fictional, with some real stuff in there too.  I don't have much written yet... All I have has really nothing to do with the main plot or anything, but rather just an introduction scene setting the characters mood.  Or something along those lines...
....-"Yeah, you can clock out now..." I squeal inside with joy at my dismissal.  My boss gives me an amused look,yet her glassy eyes reveal a tired and dull mood.  "Thank you!" I manage to tell her before running out the massive glass doors of the ice cream shop.  Today was pay day, and I've made enough to finally buy the bike I've been saving up for.  It's white and sleek, and absolutely gorgeous.  I'll be able to go everywhere in my little suburbian town that exists within the real city limits.  I sprint down the sidewalk, past the nearely neon trees, the last rain making them bright as well as giving them a slightly tropical glow.  Wind bellows past me, giving me some resistance on my way.  By the time I arrive home, I've panting pretty hard, guess I'm out of shape...The ice cream I've been sneaking at work probably doesn't help, but it's just so yummy.. Anyway, my Auntie, old and frail, yet with her will of iron, is waiting for me at the door.  She has a nervous smile playing on her lips.  No.  This stops me in my tracks.  Auntie doesn't get nervous. EVER.  "Dear..." she starts.  I panic inside.  Oh no....Do I even want to know....? "We're moving."  "What?"  I ask incredulously, and it just gets better.. "To a town in Oklahoma."  "WHAT!?" I squeak, absolutely horrified, even if I know nothing about Oklahoma ,except that "wind comes sweeping down the plains", as the play says.

Yep, that's it... my intro..

Eheh, writer's block..

Yep.  My story has already hit a stand still.  I just don't know where to go with it right now....  Where it is right now is kinda boring- just the main character helping reconstruct places that were destroyed in a cataclysm.  Maybe putting some drama in there would help spice things up, or just building up the characters.  I guess I really should make a plot map, and see where I can go from there.  This just...isn't much fun.  My ideas are all stuck.  *sigh*
     On a much more pleasant note, school only has 18 days left for this year.  I'm nervous- this means the yearbook must be completed in 18 days, or perhaps even less.  And then there's finals and AP testing... ALL THAT is what scares me.  Yuck.
     Lastly, I'm trying to find a new job.  The one I've got isn't bad, I'm not really close to anyone I work with anymore( maybe that's a good thing... -_-")  but there's a certain boss that just doesn't like me.  And the job gets really stressful.  After everyday of work, when you go home with your arms, clothes, and face coated in ice cream, you don't like it much anymore.  It's kinda gross, because it looks like a layer of skin when you scratch it off.    I hate to sound like a complainer.  So I'll stop now. .   .   . . . .

Writin' Time...

M'kay!  So I really really need to keep up with this story I'm writing... I don't want to put too much down about it yet, but it's going to be a kind of fantasy book, but definitely not just some romance thing.  But I've been obsessed with medivalish worlds, like Golden Sun, or like in the Legend of Zelda... But I also like modern things, like in Megaman, or today's world..  So I'm trying to somehow squish these ideas together into one.  There is going to be one main character, a girl who's a ginger, but others that are going to be just as important...  I'm thinking Olivia for the girl, but I don't really know if that would fit...  Olivia Crown... Hmm..
