Iiiii think I know who I can maaybe blamed for my lack of art.
Mur Lafferty.
DARN YOU.

...y'all know how I curse so y'all know that I'm not serious. Or I would say 'damn'.
...and I'm saying y'all a lot lately.

I'm writing a lot more than I'm drawing lately.

*insert plug for 'I Should Be Writing' here*
Look it up. Good podcast about writing and publishing.

Juuuuust finished reading Mur Lafferty's novel, Playing For Keeps, and drawing really crappy fan art which I don't feel like uploading on here because I have FORREAL GOTTEN WORSE. Somehow. I don't know how one backpedals in talent.

So I've been working fairly hardcore on a story idea, inspired partly by Mur.
Me and my friend (icon to be put here later lol) went to a Lit festival, and a panel about Scifi and Fantasy. Mur previewed a chapter from Playing For Keeps there.

...ame and shanger lolololololololol.

Sorry, funny little mispronunciation that still made me lol when I read it as it actually is (shame and anger).

Playing For Keeps is a superhero novel, and quite a few of my friends have been obsessed with superheroes (mostly The Flash) lately. SO I've been all LOLOLOLOLOL SUPERHEROES?! lately.

Buuuuttttt I'm presently working on a Superhero novel idea, under the working name Lonely Planet.
Not drawing so much.

So far I've got about 3k words for it done, which is the most I think I've EVER written straight. I may post it, with the notes in the author comments.

mmmmmmmyeah.

I like superheroes.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMYEAH.

Oooooo and I STILL have zombies.

So... look forward to writing soon?
I guess?

LAAAAHV you all.

NO IDEA HOW I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS.
IIIIIIIIIIII GOT INTO COLLEGE.
SRSLY.
COLLEGE.
I'M IN IT.
THREE OF THEM TO BE EXACT.
UNC Asheville, Agnes Scott, and Kalamazoo.
One offer to join the honors society, one scholarship. Not from the same college and I'm not telling you which from which college.
But IIIIIII'M GOING TO COLLEGE.
So. Happy.

P.P.S.
Right.
Christmas.
Was awesome.
Favorite gift- Kalamazoo acceptance letter, which my parents wrapped up lol.
Right now I'm waiting for books- my mom ordered three for me. Playing For Keeps was one, which came. I'm waiting on Personal Effects: Dark Arts by J.C. Hutchins and Contagious by Scott Sigler.
My mom ordered all three on December 15th. I'm kinda pissed at Abe books.
WANT WANT WANT WANT WANT MAH BOOKS PLEASE. D:

P.P.P.S.
Nope, turns out I can't keep the zombies.
*sob*

P.P.P.P.S.
Methinks my ritalin isn't working today.
I just reread this entry and it makes NO SENSE AT ALL WHATSOEVER.
Sorry. xD

P.P.P.P.P.S.
Yayyyyyy.
Just got Contagious in the mail.
Now I'm just waiting for Personal Effects.

I have a few sketches on my computer, finally, but they're really bad quality since I took pictures of them. There's only one computer hooked up to a working scanner in my house, and that computer is almost as old as me... hasn't been fairing too well lately, so. Computer repair or editing will need to happen before I can put anything up.

I am going to stop updating about my life after this. That being said, I probably will, but I'll try to only do it when an improvement or decline is more permanent. I think I need a real-life journal so that I won't spam everyone's inboxes.
Still excited about RENT, but everything else went to hell again. Something tells me that this entire year is gonna feel like that, up and down, until I settle some more. Right now I'm sort of at a crossroads. It's completely tearing me up, not knowing where I stand with people, and since I can't get an honest answer, I'm going to assume the worst and try to start over. Easier said than done.
Sorry that this account turned into something akin to a preteen's blog. I'll try to make this the last time. Seriously, I'm going to go out and buy a real journal and angst there, and just post art here, like I always should have.

I'll try to post some of my writing some time, if only to let Dorothy inflate my ego like she does.
No. Seriously. Tell me it's genius. *brainwash*
:3

Life is going much better in general. Social life better, school work is paying off, parents cooled down some.
Plus more.
I have no words.
Just.... really happy.
You might be seeing some RENT fan art on here soon, just saying. (:

Seriously, I CAN'T DRAW RIGHT NOW.
...mostly because I'm a senior and I'm hella busy, and because my classes are actually interesting this year.
But also because it's just plain not happening. It looks like I put any talent I ever had and ran it through a blender. If that makes any sense.
Point is, drawing isn't working out so great.

Writing was going well but now I've hit a block for that as well.

BUT OH HEY.
I've restarted my photography account.

You should go visit it.

So, my life right now... because I need to complain about it somewhere.
Honestly, I've been feeling kind of depressed for the past week or so. Home life is stressful, school life is stressful, and social life is non-existent. I keep nosing in on my friends' plans and basically inviting myself along, which I need to stop doing.
My parents have been arguing a lot lately, and everything sort of exploded this past Saturday. Definitely ranks as one of the worst days of my life so far. School-wise I'm doing more homework than ever, plus college applications. And I'm trying to enjoy myself by forcing my way into other people's plans.
Yeah.
I know none of that is a huge deal, but I'm a wuss, emotionally and physically, so it's emotionally and physically draining me.

Not much I can do about any of those situations, so I guess I've just got to come to grips with that.
Until then, who knows, maybe I'll get some good art or writing out of it?

In other, far less angsty news.
