Changing Accounts
Posted 14 years agoI've decided that I've grown rather tired of having this username. So I'm going to be moving what work I have on here onto a new account. If anyone still actually watches this account (what with being so inactive as of recent) then feel free to watch my new account. Hopefully, work permitting, I will have some time to start writing again so I can become more active on this site. Until then, farewell :D

Back! (Sort of)
Posted 15 years agoWell I did write something. That's always nice. I've had some awful writer's block. Not to mention I've been busy as hell trying to find a job before I run out of money. My laptop screen broke as well. That would have and should have been fixed by last week but the people I bought the screen from are stupid and sent me a defective screen. So I had to send that back. Now it's taking them forever to send me another one. So I'm using an older desktop to write stuff and surf the web.
Still, even though I'm trying to start writing stuff again, I might not be doing a whole lot of it. Call it a momentary break in the clouds if you will. We'll see if I can get it together.

Back at it
Posted 15 years ago With the semester done, I've decided to start writing stuff again. I'm gonna move away from poetry and start working on writing stories. As long as I can get some ideas onto paper, that is. I'm not going to do too much until I can get a job though. That's been killing me ever since Gamestop decided to shut my store down. I swear sometimes that finding a job in this state is harder than playing darts while wearing a blindfold.
On another note, I picked up the Myst trilogy for 20 bucks the other day and am looking forward to hours of mindnumbing puzzles. It's been about 8 or so years since I last played any of them so it's gonna be a trip.

Life
Posted 15 years agoI've been neglecting my journals for way too long. I've just been having trouble figuring out what I want to do with my life. It's worse than it sounds. I've been really depressed as of recent out of fear that I'm just gonna screw up my life again. That and I'm just fed up with people right now. I'm sick of idiots and I just want to be left alone. I feel like I'm a failure at everything right now. Until now, I've kept all of this bottled inside. I've lost all inspiration to write anything. Honestly, I gave up a month ago. I might start back up once school starts. I don't mean to write something that people like then just stop for 3 or 4 months. It just happens. Sorry. I go back to school in two weeks or so and I'm not ready yet. Too much time spent playing wow has just fucked my sleep schedule over. I gotta get back into the groove or 9:00 am classes just aint gonna work. Speaking of sleep, here I am at 6:30 in the morning ranting like a moron. I'm gonna go to sleep.
Updates!!!
Posted 16 years agoI've been keeping myself busy recently. I've gone back to questing on my mage in WoW. That is taking up some time :P. I just got Borderlands yesterday, and I'm lovin it. Been trying to work on some stories but nothin much is coming out of that. I finally decided to transpose one of my stories from my notebook onto my laptop. It's going well and I hope it will motivate me to start actually writing again.
Other than that, not much is going on. Work sucks but that's expected. I'm just waiting for school to start back up so I can do something with my life :D

Worst. Weekend. Ever.
Posted 16 years agoLet's start from the beginning. On thrusday, my parents told me that they were going out of town for the weekend and that I would have the house to myself. It's rare that I get time to myself so I was happy as hell. Well all was going well until my younger brother decides he wants to come home from college and throw a party for his buddies. I was like ok, sure whatever. He had like 3 people over and all was well. on Saturday, he had another group of friends over. This time there were like 10 people here. And there was booze and what not. Everyone was drunk and stuff. Some people tried to start some shit and a fight almost broke out. I managed to calm that down. Other stuff happened but I'm not gonna detail it here. I'm just amazed that I let all of this happen. Well whatever. It's over now. I've just been trying to make sure my parents don't find out anything happened. On a better note, I got about 6 bucks from turning in beer cans! YAY!!!!
Status Report
Posted 16 years agoI haven't really been doing much recently. Mostly playing WoW. Even that's getting kinda boring right now. I've had absolutely no creative ideas for the past month :( I've just been feeling so out of it. Don't know why. I've been trying to write something but nothing's coming out that's any good. I'll keep trying. Bye for now.
Found an old poem!
Posted 16 years agoI found an old poem on a floppy disc that was buried in my room. I wrote it when I was in middle school. It's in scraps if anyone wants to read it. Don't expect much. It's a little sloppy. I might make a revised version later.
Been Busy
Posted 16 years agoSorry I haven't submitted anything recently. I've been busy trying to get another job. Any free time I've had has been spent plating World of Warcraft. Damn game's gonna be the death of me haha. I'm gonna try to get back to writing one of these days. I just need some inspiration.
I'm back by the way.
Posted 16 years agoI'm back from my little trip to Charlevoix. Unfortunately, it was rainy most of the time. There were three days where it was just beautiful though. My leg's a little sore from getting pegged with a baseball XD
I was planning on getting some writing done but I forgot to pack my flash drive. I started on something new but I didn't get very far.

Went to see District 9
Posted 16 years agoSo yea I went to go see District 9 today. I had been waiting to see it for quite some time. I even had tickets to the pre screening of it but they were packed to capacity so I couldn't get in =/ But it was worth the wait. The only thing I didn't really like was the camera shaking so much. It kinda started to give me a headache. Other than that. it was a fantastic movie with lots of thrills and exploding people. I would recommend it dor sure.
On another note, I'm heading up north to the Charlevoix/Ironton area for a week for some R&R. It's gonna be great.

F*CK My Life
Posted 16 years agoYea so I had the worst day EVER. I can't friggin sleep the night before so I wake up tired. Next, upon getting ready for work, I discover that my car's been broken into and my expensive ass Patriots jersey and my DSi were stolen. Next, I get to work only to find out that I'd been written up twice for "poor performance". Then I get home and do some online banking. Realizing that I'm out of money only gets me more pissed. To top it all off, I almost thought that my laptop was broken AGAIN. WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Now that that's over, I feel a little better. I did kick some ass in Wii Sports Resort at work, though. On the lighter side of things, I was looking at the stats from my latest submission and saw 8 views but only one comment, one of which was from myself. I don't care if you friggin hate it, please comment. I would love to know how to better my writing abilities :D
Updates
Posted 16 years agoI've been kinda busy recently. My job at Gamestop is kinda sucking so I've been trying to find another one. Also, school is coming up so I have to take the time to register for classes. Thinking about taking some culinary courses :D I am, however, continuing to work on the fanfiction. Hopefully, I'll have the first chapter up by middle to end of next week.
Dry Spell Broken (Hopefully)
Posted 16 years agoSo it was like 4:20 am and I decided to try and write a poem. And whaddayaknow, two popped out! They're not great but I could care less. Alls I care about is that I finally wrote something!!! On a side note, I finally started the fanfiction back up. The first chapter of that will be submitted on fanfiction.net most likely either next week or the week after. I don't have a name on there yet so don't bother asking :3 It'll probably be along the lines of Rasha or Isis. Doubt I'll be able to get Isis but Rasha isn't that common of a username so fingers crossed!
Sigh...
Posted 16 years agoSo I'm trying to write a damn story and/or poem but I just can't. Nothing's coming to me. It kinda sucks. I might need to rest the creative genius for a while. That'll probably help.
Update
Posted 16 years agoSo I decided to go into Best Buy today to check on the status of my laptop. As it turns out, they fixed it! So I'm typing my first journal on my laptop in three and a half months. The only problem is that my internet reception sucks in my basement. It took a while to get to FA from my home page. I'm finally reinstalling WoW and preparing to once again have no social life :D
In other news, I decided to start writing a short story to get my motivation back so I can start submitting stuff again. It's just a fun little story, nothing serious. I hope to work on that more tonight and have it done by tomorrow afternoon.

Posted 16 years agoI'm all packed up and ready for tomorrow morning! I'm leaving at 6 am and driving non stop to St. Peters, MO to pick up some friends. Then it's off to NatsuCon! I'll most likely be back on Monday or Tuesday. Sorry about not posting anything as of recent. I've been kinda busy preparing for the trip and school and whatnot. I'll hopefully have something when I get back. Don't get your hopes up, though.
BATS @_@
Posted 16 years agoI'm leaving for NatsuCon in 5 days!!! I'm pretty excited. I just gotta get the last pieces of my cosplay in check tomorrow. Also, there is currently a bat flying around in my basement. It's just a tiny fruit bat but the thing still makes you freak out every time it swoops over your head. I locked it in a room so I can deal with it later.
4th of July + Updates
Posted 16 years agoIt's the 4th of July w00t! Gonna go light off some fireworks tonight. 'Nuff said.
Update time: Sorry for not being very active on FA. I've had a lot on my plate for the past two weeks. I finally took my laptop in to get fixed. Fingers crossed for that. I've just about given up hope of ever getting my PS3 fixed. Damn Sony. I've been working alot as well. The fanfic is going good. Hopefully this will give me the "go" to get back on writing my other story that is close to a year in the making (including like two 3-4 month hiatuses). NatsuCon is coming up in two weeks and I'm still not ready. The people i ordered my cosplay from messed it up. Again. Whatever, I'm still going, cosplay or not damnit. Oh and I've not been sleeping very well so that makes things seem more streesful.
Well, that's about it. I have to go to teh mall.

I'm back!
Posted 16 years agoI'm back from Charlevoix! It was so beautiful up there. I got an idea for a story so I'm putting the current one aside for the moment. This one's gonna be cool. It's a fanfic so I won't be posting it on this site. It will be on fanfiction.net for sure though.
Update
Posted 16 years agoI'm heading up north to Charlevoix, MI for the weekend. I'm bringing my notebook to maybe get some writing done while I'm there. It's nice and peaceful up there so I hope that'll give me the inspiration I need to actually do something :P
Getting Sick...Amongst Other Things.
Posted 16 years agoI've been kinda slacking on my writing recently for a few reasons. One is that I've been spending alot of time planning for this trip to NatsuCon. Two is that I've been trying to get Sony to fix my stupid PS3 before the warranty runs out. Third is that I've been getting sick. I'm one of those people who hardly gets sick, but when it happens, it really really sucks. Sick or not. I do plan on working on my story some more today (Friday) and I might even draft a poem!
ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 16 years agoSo, as the title suggests, I'm going on a road trip later this summer. My first stop is good old St. Louis MO for NatsuCon where I'll be doing a little cosplaying :D Then from there, we'll be heading all the way out to Tacoma, WA to chill with some friends. It's gonna be awesome! Mainly, I'm just happy to get out of this boring state. Also, I'll most likely be uploading another poem or two before I go. I've just got to get my lazy ass to write one first! That's about it.
Story Update
Posted 16 years agoWell, I've finished the character sheets and I'm back to writing! I took a couple hours yesterday to proofread everything I've written so far. It was pretty bad in my opinion :P The main grammatical errors come from the fact that I had origionally written the story in present tense. I had later decided that it sounded better like it is now. I'm removing the story I have on here and I will be posting a more up to date version in Scraps.
One more thing: I would like to thank everyone who reads my poetry and gives me these awesome comments. That stuff honestly makes my day. If I could ask for anything else, it would be for you guys to tell me what you think my poem means. I leave most of them wide open for interpretation. Tell me what you think they mean :D I would love to know!

Computers...Grrr...
Posted 16 years agoSo I decided to start working on my story again. Well, sort of. I'm actually working on character refrence sheets for each major character so far. There's like 3 last time I checked. I did one a few months ago and just yesterday, I decided to do the other two. Well, today, I ran into a kind of problem.
Actually, let me go back a bit further first. About two months ago, I lost my laptop to a virus. It completley murdered my hard drive, deleting and/or infecting everything on it. So not only could I not play WoW, I lost every piece of work I have done in the past 2 years. Including the most recent copy of my story. Well I was freaking out for a while and consedered giving up until I remembered that I had posted a not-so-up-to-date-but-still-recent copy of my story here on FA. So I took it off of my own profile and began rewriting the lost parts, while adding on to it.
Anyways, in order to make these refrence sheets, I had to look up parts of my story. And since I didn't have a laptop that I could take with me, I had no way to do said research. So I figured, I would just print it. But my printer broke. Long story short, 80 degrees in this room, no air conditioning, and 4 hours of printer fixing later, I now have a copy of my not-so-up-to-date-but-still-recent story to work off of.
