Why hello there

2/7/2010 at 10:23 PM


It's been a really long time. I'm been through another one of those growing leaps and I'm a new person. For better or for worse.
I haven't really been writing but I'm getting the itch again however my confidence in sharing my stuff hasn't grown so who knows hahaha.

I think...

12/3/2008 at 10:19 PM


I am officially done writing.
I haven't written in so long it's like I've forgotten how lol.
Then I came to this conclusion.
I don't like to write. I like to tell a story.
It actually annoys me to have to write down the stories in my head. Every story I have is done. Completely wrapped up nicely in a bow up in my mind. I used to have to force myself to write them because I wanted to share. But it's a pain in the butt really.
So this is the plan. Find another career having to do with the art of storytelling.
I have an idea.
Movies.
Director or maybe trying my hand at acting (as far fetched as that sounds. Hey everyone got to have a dream)
That's a easy was to tell a story. Plus I absolutely love movies. Dialogue, the way an actor delivers the lines, body language, It's all fascinating.
That's life constant change in ideas, thoughts, and wishes.

Mid Teen Life Crisis

10/23/2008 at 11:16 PM


I think I'm having one of those.
I do not enjoy writing anymore. It's not writers block anymore is more just all my interest has dried up. I get bored in writing club and when I try and sit down to make myself write I usually give up on it. Now this sounds like a "whatever" problem.
Except I've kinda built up my future around writing. So if I'm not interested anymore or if I'm beginning to suck I needed to figure out what other interest I have and fast.
Besides that my week as sucked like a newborn infant sucks on a bottle and yes I just made that saying up. So if anyone has anything that could cheer me up it's entirely welcome.

Why do you write?

9/10/2008 at 8:07 PM


Alright I'm going to explain why I write and if you want reply in your blogs as to why you write.

Writing is personal to me for a few reasons one being that when I was younger I had a lot of problems when it came to reading and writing. I was taken out of normal Reading and Writing classes and put into classes with people who were worst then me. However after a while I got really mad about always being talked down to so I worked harder at it all but that could only do so much considering that my teachers were still hung up on verbs. I didn't really get any better until i found Fan fiction and that my friends is why it pisses me off to here crap being talked about it. I remember is really well I goggled Ella Enchanted 2 because i really wanted to see if they were going to make another movie and shazam fan fiction by the name of Ella Enchanted 2 popped up.

And thus is began. Things that you loved stories and characters you turned off the TV to or finished the book wishing for me all here in this nice little site. It was a godsend for all sunken fandoms. Then it began I was reading like a maniac going through tons of it. My skin grew paler (I used to be really tan believe it or not) and my vocab exploded. In one year my reading level jumped about three grades I went from being behind to being ahead it was great.

After a while the fan fiction got and and though I do sometimes go back and check out the site I'm not nearly as obsessed as I once was. Still I made plenty of friends over the internet through the hobby and that's why I love it.

So Writing was always a challenge something people just hoped I could do alright and I wanted to be better. Practice makes perfect right? And finally one day my own original idea popped into my mind and that is the story I have up there's much more but I rarely write in order.

My second reason is less history and more thought. My life is boring let's me honest. I'm 15, I live in Georgia, I'm not particularly popular or ridiculously good at anything so daydreams are a must have. And to me day dreams are stories. Nothing is better then to escape into a world that you've made yourself and all the good stuff happened. A shy character turns bold. Someone over comes impossible odds (Voldemort anyone?). And then your left with a beautiful end and a promise of more adventure. It's almost like living through your characters you experience all their pain and their triumph. It's the best kinda escape a adventure with all your favorite ingredients.

Billie holiday, club day. and cheating on my ad attempts because I suck

8/19/2008 at 11:19 PM


I don't know if it's because I was watching the Notebook so much this weekend but Billie Holiday's "I'll be seeing you" has been running in a loop in my head. For those of you who don't know it it's the song playing whenever Noah and Allie as dancing in the street.
Hey don't roll your eyes at me cheese is good whenever it's original. Dancing in the street? Brilliant.
Moving on club day. Guess what's I'm bringing as in my favorite book! Looking for Alaska. Much love I have for that book made me cry more then The Lovely Bones.
And finally why I fail at life.
I kinda lied on my Ad attempts......
Well I pretty much just put it off until after school today and then every place in my area was closed already. All but this small salon which i didn't know until I tried to talk to the lady was entirely Latino. So yeah after that blush worthy failing moment I just told mom to go home.
So yeah I do fail.
However I had just totally bombed my audition for the play and had a stress induced head ache plus mom was yelling so.....

Bad week

8/15/2008 at 6:48 PM


I've had a really bad week and the things I've posted will probably be taken down as soon as I regain my sense.
It's just so muddled right now.
I think out my own little selfish hole that's been this week i've really hurt some people.
I'm a terrible person and I can't seem to change that.
I only seem to be able to hold it back for months only to lash out in a fury all at once.
I don't even know who to talk to anymore.
They either won't listen or have worse problems and have given up.
I don't want to end up like that but I don't know what to do.

So what did you do this weekend? Oh me I started a fandom war.

8/9/2008 at 3:08 PM


0_0
If you guys are Twilight fans and have visited the Twilight Lexicon you know what I'm talking about here.
Last night they got hacked and were literally destroyed.
And I'm kinda thinking I might have had a part in that.
They recently posted this rules and regulation thing on the Twilight Lexicon () and I got flagged for my icon on the message boards that said "Twilight was a trilogy" and then a link that directed me to this http://community.livejournal.com/sortofbeautiful/634868.html#cutid1 i copied it to my blog.
Basically as you can see from the link people in that community got a bit angry.
Well a lot.
Like three pages worth of ranting angry. Talk of freedom of speech and censorship.
And then I got off line and went to bed I get up today and my inbox has over 140 messaging one from even person who commented on the post I went through them all and then checked the lex and boom!
they got hacked.
And they're blaming it on someone who posted the manifesto on another site.
*pulls tail out from between legs*
All I really did was just copy paste the new rules it's not my fault!

Breaking Dawn AKA Epic Fail

8/3/2008 at 5:00 AM


My rage simply cannot be expressed.
I waited in line for an hour after midnight with two girls behind me singing Momma Mia! in a loop for this book.
I chatted online with other nerds about possible outcomes and debated about theories.
And now I want to burn this bitch.
Not even kidding this mo fo is as thick as Harry Potter 7 and I want to burn it.
I'm hoping that you saw the title in your updates and ran because I'm about to spoil some poeple.
A FUCKING BABY!
I really must stop this cursing.
A baby.
VAMPIRES DON'T HAVE CHILDREN! STEPHENIE MEYER SAID VAMPIRE CAN'T HAVE BABIES AND NOW!?
Now she's all like "Oh no, jk, they can!"
........
*rage mounts*
The baby jumps out of Bella like some crazy shit out of Alien Vs Predator
Then she has to make Jacob imprint on the little antichrist.
This literally sounds like bad fanfiction.
When I heard about this as a spoiler I was so sure it had to be bull.
And now this?
If this book hadn't been under $20 with my B&N card discount I would have returned the damn thing.
*angst*
I can't believe I defended this series.
Honestly

Woot!
I finally got my magazine!
But I've got to say.
It's kinda unreadable.
But we won't be telling my mother that.
Seeing as she pained a full $20 for me to get it.
And yes those aren't really full sentences.
But I like blogging like this.

Yes I know it's three o'clock in the morning... stupid computer clock thingy...

7/7/2008 at 5:19 AM


My eyes burn.
Yeah that's probably because of the time.
Urgh urgh. So this week I've come to the conclusion that Robert pattinson (playing Edward in the Twilight movie) can in fact be sexy as seen in the following clips from the movie that were released on the Penelope DVD this week.






Watch at your own risk he made me over look the sappy line and slow dancing. That's how you know the guys got skills lol.
Moving on from my very dorky obssessions with fandoms (Harry Potter, Twilight, fill in the blank with another good book series I will get hooked on in the coming months.)
That was a long by the way thing.
Anyways read my updates I have NO comments and I might just go become depressed and die.
then you'd have no one to look at and say "Well at least I'm not as bored as her"
Tragedy that would be.
Oh yeah I got glasses! And if i put my hair up with them on, and lets face it's summer adn I'm even sleeping in a pony tail I look like a Librarian! And not the cool ones more like the ones that kick you off the schools pc if you try and check your email.
I will have my revenge....
Moving on, lets hope Elaina can break her dependence on the PC and finish those danmed Jane Eyre questions for Mrs. Roberts class. First period honors? Anyone? ANYONE!? Yoda!? Darth Vader!? Anyone from Sesame Street is wecome as well those people got skills.
One apple two apple AH AH AH AH AH!
Yeah I'm done.
Nighty nighty
or morning morning?

Character Shaping

6/29/2008 at 10:52 PM


So I've been working on my story lately before I write anything and a character I've been trying to round out more is Patrick Heap. I realized after really looking through all my notes and junk that I haven't really built much of a character for the poor guy.
In the story well for the whole story really with the exception of flash backs and some weird dreams Patrick dead. And since the narrative is the perspective some a girl who had grown up with him and loved him I'm wondering if I need to round out the character. Wouldn't it be more truthful to write about him like he's a saint which is what the character pretty much thinks? Or is it better make some faults known?
Thoughts?

Poetry you fiend!

6/26/2008 at 12:18 AM


I hate Poetry.
Probably because I suck at it.
But that's just beside the point.
Well not really but humor me here alright?
So why have all my updates suddenly started sounding like a three year olds try at poetry?
I have absolutely not idea.
What so ever.
At all.
Congrats to Emily and Candace for getting featured. Moving on up aren't you guys? i loved how they kept Emily's little block grey while everyone else's was like neon. Probably because of her screen name. :)

Florida humidity and two boxes of Chocolate pop tarts does not do well for the complection.

6/24/2008 at 11:50 PM


Urgh urgh no number of alcohol pads can tame the oil of my flesh!
Been timelining my story which is good I guess. I'm not really organized and so I really need to kick my ass in gear.
Not that I will.
Let's face it how many times have I said I'll kick my ass in gear and then shocker! I don't.
Been having really creepy dreams lately. I'm in like this castle and I just keep running and running until I get to this huge stain glass window with a likeness of a woman with really long black hair and bright blue eyes. And she's dressed all princessly. Then I turn to my side and she's right beside me just looking at me.
Then I wake up.
Why is it I always mention my dreams on these blogs?
Oh yeah because I spend most of my time sleeping these days.

He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.–Friedrich Nietzsche
This quote is awesome and if I can come up with setting for the plot in my mind I will write a story for it. That guy to has awesome quote I'm gonna go google him in order to find more.

P.S. just watched the real world for the first time in a long time and I love the blonde guy. Don't know who he is but he's funny. Like crazy funny. Burning clothes.

So I had a twilight dream last night...

6/2/2008 at 4:54 PM


I dream a lot that I'm book character... "Cough* Harry Potter *Cough* but last night I was Bella. So i guess it was like the day of Bella being changed but I/Bella went to the store and i bought these candles. They were the kind you see in movies that they light in Catholic Church (Not a fan of organized religion and I'm not catholic so if there is a proper name sorry) So they were like prayer candles and Bella bought ten.

Then she went home and set them all on her dresser and suddenly all the candles had pictures with them. The first 2 were for Charlie and Renee then the next 7 were for the Cullens. Then the last one which I hadn't been able to make out was for Bella and then Bella in the dream lit all the candles and I woke up.
Weird...
i guess I dreamed about it bec ause I spent the better half of last night on the Twilight Lexicon forums talking to people because the first clip from the movie debuted last night. Still freaked me out a bit.

Crushing on someone sucks (Yes i say crushing and not love! Far too young) Seriously though.
Best case scenario you go out for a week make out a bit then if your a girl you get labeled a prude or a slut. You break up. End story.
However the alternative is sitting back and just day dreaming about the guy coming to you isn't much better. Only my pride is a bit more protected. And we all know my pride is number one here lol.

Beatles not roaches

4/11/2008 at 12:38 AM


So some of you may remember my annoyances toward a certain band... yeah about that. Well you see I was surfing around youtube like normal and I came across a really old video of the Beatles preforming Hey Jude. So i decided "eh I'm not busy" and I clicked and listened.
Nice. That's all my pride will allow me to say. I'm not saying they are the best band ever! Or that they will forever rule!(Can you really even say that? I mean a hundred years later? You never know) But I really liked the song. It was nice and calm. Chill like I like my music.
I confess they're good.

2/10/2008 at 7:02 PM


I'm feeling really really uneasy. This is bad. I can't even eat anything much. I just feel nauseas but it's not sick sick it's like worry. Really bad worry.
I told my mom about it and now she's freaking calling everyone in the family to make sure they're ok like I'm psychic or something. But I don't feel like something bed has happened I feel like something bad is going to happen.
Urgh I'm gonna go try and keep myself busy. This sucks.

Writing contest with moo-ney prize which I really need if I want to get my own pc

2/7/2008 at 10:38 PM


The Atlanta St. Patrick's Day Committee Announces

"The Meaning of St. Patrick's Day":

An Essay Contest for Georgia High School Students

$1000 Prize

St. Patrick's Day, March 17th, is the only American ethnic celebration that has become a national holiday. Held in honor of Ireland's national saint, St. Patrick's Day honors the cultural traditions of the Irish but also the historic American commitment to embrace the multifaceted traditions of all immigrant peoples who have come to our shores.

Here in Atlanta the annual St. Patrick's Day Parade was first held in 1858 by the Hibernian Benevolent Society. Savannah's St. Patrick's Day Parade is even older, dating back to 1813 and is the second largest in the country. Thousands of people march in both parades to the skirl of brilliant pipes and drums, while revelers line the streets and enjoy the festive air. But sometimes people forget that a holiday such as this originally came out of dire and compelling circumstances: the horror of famine and religious persecution, the sorrow of leaving one's homeland, family and friends, the terror of ocean voyages in crowded, disease-ridden boats, and the challenge of building new homes in a foreign land.

This St. Patrick's Day, honoring all Americans who have come to our country in hopes of finding new opportunity, the Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade Committee is pleased to announce its annual contest for high school students. With a prize of $1000 for the first place winner and $250 each for two runners-up for a 1000-word essay on "The Meaning of St. Patrick's Day," the contest will be adjudicated by a committee headed by Dr. James W. Flannery, Director of the W. B. Yeats Foundation and a member of the Irish Studies program of Emory University.

All entries submitted become the property of Atlanta St. Patrick's Parade, Inc. Students are encouraged to look at the meaning of St. Patrick's Day from any number of perspectives: historical, religious, sociologic, folkloric, cultural or multicultural. We encourage students to share their familial or community histories, stories and customs with us, whether or not they happen to be Irish. Another approach might be to look at the life and values of St. Patrick: a slave himself, he was a fierce opponent of slavery. The only criterion is that, in some way, the essay should shed a fresh light on the continued meaning of St. Patrick's Day

The deadline for submissions is March 1, 2008. Please mail to:

Dr. James Flannery

Director, W. B. Yeats Foundation

Winship Professor of the Arts and Humanities

Emory University

1655 North Decatur Road Room 105

Atlanta, Georgia 30322

Announcement of the winner will be made on Friday, March 14, 2008 at the breakfast meeting of ICCUSA.

The winner will be presented with his/her check on Saturday, March 15, 2008 at a Dignitaries Breakfast and will be an honored guest at the 150th Year Celebration of the Atlanta

St. Patrick's Day Parade which follows the Breakfast.

I think i picked out my song for writing club what do you guys think?
It's called Hundred by the Fray

Sickness, Hot topics, and the possible concert in April

2/5/2008 at 6:56 PM


I was sick from mid second Period it stopped from mid 5th and then returned for Math. Seriously I thought my spleen was going to like blow up or something and they'd have to rush me to the hospital and cut it out. Two of those things run in my family and my odds of that happening are pretty high. Most the relatives had to be rushed into emergency surgery when they were in there teens so I was freaking. I tried to call my mom after second but she wasn't home and they wouldn't let me call her cell because its long distance.
I went to the bathroom and called her anyway I thought she was going to try and come. She was at Ms. Cindy's in Gwinnett to get some furniture or some crap and it would take her an hour to come get me.
So I waited and managed to do my work in Science and then when I got to Current Issues I was beginning to feel really nausea. I ended up speed walking out of the class as Mr. Page was handing the tests out and then promptly pucking my brains out.
When I cleaned my self up a bit and returned to class Mr. Page asked me if I'd feel better up at the office and if I wanted to hang out there for a while and I told him that having office ladies glare at me wasn't going to help. He then took away my est and said I was unfit to take it to set my head down and rest. I'd take the test another day.
I spent half of Health(5th) in the bathroom calling mom who still wasn't here after out second period chat. She said again that it would take an hour to get there and that she was loading up the car. I was pissed.
By time Lunch got here I was feeling better and I talked Blake and Jessica into sitting outside and enjoying the nice weather. It was good until I got to Math and by time I was on the Bus is was just as intense as it was in Current Issues.
When I got home mom wasn't there and when she arrived with Justin I was livid.
Me and my brother preceded to argue him claiming that mom couldn't drop everything for me. And that was alive wasn't I?
My response got pretty rude, "Really? I'm not because that seems to be the only circumstances in which she's drop anything for me. But you your a different story your just a call away. That's all you have to do is call mom and she'll come get you at 3 am. she'll bail you and your friends out of Jail whatever she can! So what has to happen to me for her to stop Physical violence doesn't seem to be a good enough reason! Why don't you two just tell me when you can come up with one. Because me puking and being in my teachers words "unfit to work" doesn't seem to be enough"
I slammed the door. She and Justin left he has a drug test today. She's driving him.
I don't see why I didn't realize the moment I entered school that it was going to be a bad day. I mean having people walk past me and whisper "Is that Elaina?" doesn't exactly scream good omen.
Xoni, Tabitha, and I will hopefully be attending a Panic! At the Disco concert in April. The Hush Sound is also playing thus me being willing to pay thirty something bucks for a ticket. Tabitha's mom might come other wise there is no way in hell my mom's letting me go. Xoni gets to come with a parent or not. Lucky Xoni.
So about this song writing thing for Writing Club I'm thinking something by The Fray something that suits my mood. Regretful but final. Hmpf must dig out that CD. I don't what to "How to save a life" because that's just too easy.
E
P.S. My Aunt Natalie just called. My god I love her she seemed to actually care that I unwell.
