Lots of Little Bits of Good News

Been a while, but I decided to blog once more to catch everyone up on the latest events of the Trishverse.

Like the title suggests, nothing big has happened, but a lot of little good things have. Where to start?

Well, as those who have kept up w/ me via Facebook know, I have two works that are being published. A poem entitled "Midsummer's Magic" and a short story entitled "The In Crowd." Once paid, I will have made a total of $30 writing. Not much, but a good start.

My submissions continue, however, as I have several more deadlines I've got lined up to meet and a good handful of stories still out there that I'm waiting to hear on. Of course, as I've said in previous blogs, I'm not delusional. I need a day job. But, you know what, all things in their time. Waiting on hearing back from publishers has taught me two things thus far: patience and how to handle rejection. I think I'm doing both pretty freakin' well.

And, unbeknownst to the kids at Upward Bound, Slink and I are making a return as their lovable (yeah, right), wacky RAs. We weren't intending to do this, but I need the extra cash for a certain wedding coming up (my own, lol).

Speaking of weddings, my father generously offered to pay for my invitations and my wedding cake. So excited by this! He's already got the amount of invites I need and all other info to order, so as soon as he comes back from his hunting trip (all the way in Africa) I think he's going to place the order. I'll be sending them out ASAP after I get them. As for the cake, my grandmother assured my mother (who passed this news on to me) that my cousin Amanda could do my cake. Really must contact her about this.

Fan fiction is of course ongoing as well. Too many stories, as the usual tale goes. And I keep focusing on just two of them lately... totally unfair to the others and I'm starting to develop a guilt complex about it. Not to mention the several more that I have planned to start and have recently come up with.

Moving on, due to a wonderfully fun lunch with a friend/ex-high school teacher of mine and Slinky, I've all but solidified my decision to go back for my MFA in Creative Writing in either the spring or fall of 2011... Mrs. T made us both see that you don't have to be limited to just one thing. I'm excited about this decision. I really am. So, here's to the future!

On other notes, I really miss the friends I don't get to see that often. I mean, really. I miss being able to see you all practically all the time. We should all find a way to recitify this.

Much love to all!

Loving a Much Improved Mood

So, I am loving life right about now! I finished watching Alice last night on Syfy (which was awesome, by the way...not as epic seeming as Tin Man, but the fangirl in me loved the ending better). After which, I wrote the first half of the next chapter of All Fall Down...I'm hoping to finish that and get it out tonight. I keep getting random reviews for Untested and its sequel, which brings me new readers, which brings me more reviews, with equal please the review whore inside of me.

All but one major project/paper is done...and I find myself not giving a rat's ass about the last paper I have to do. I'm positive all of my groups members rated me well on my group project, which is a big load off my shoulders. I was terrified, absolutely horrified, that I might have flunked my History of England to 1688 paper...it was one of those situations where, after I turned it in, I was like, "What did I write? What was my point? Did it make sense? Did I even remember to put my name on it?" Also, I was one source short of the required number of sources. I was positive that a C was the closest I could get to passing this one....frickin' A minus, all the way!! I nearly did a dance right there in class (the Peanut Butter Jelly Time dance, as this is now my official celebratory dance...Thriller's too complicated and Time Warp requires too much space). I was all smiles when I went into my next class, and I'm still smiling. I have only one more day of regular class left...which means I'm 10 days away from graduating....10!!! And here I thought I wasn't going to make it...

Oh, the pic included in this blog is some recent fanart I've done with the program GIMP...it's for Untested (which, of my fanfics, seems to be ruling my world right now...and my email). I did use Aly as a model (in fanart only, not in the story) for my main OC, Adriana (Ria) Smith. The reason I included the pic is just because I'm so damn proud of it. It's easily my favorite of the several I've done so far.

I just zoned, realizing I haven't uploaded my Forever Knight/Buffy the Vampire Slayer art to my fanart on Twisting the Hellmouth...hmm, this shall have to be rectified.

In other notes, today...the one day I don't bring an umbrella with me...it's pouring.

Also, I miss my Slinky and Savvy and Hill-Hill! I felt like I haven't heard from them in forever! I missed Savvy's call and was unable to return it (see above assignments), Slink's been under the weather last I heard, and I'm sure Hill's been busy with end of term stuff. I see Kimmi all the time at work and school, which is a plus. I also miss the RPGs...but we've all been so busy! Damn you, life! Haha.

I also haven't decorated for Xmas yet...still have to get a tree. This better happen soon, otherwise I'm not going to be as happy as I am now.

But, that's it from me. Merry Xmas, happy end of semester, and bye-bye!!

I Hate Today

Okay, so today has sucked ass. Let me tell you why.

I was so freakin' stupid. I knew, knew, that I had to get up early and go to Collier Library this morning to finish off my movie project. I knew it. So what did I do? No, I didn't stay up late...I just didn't sleep. I was up, literally, all night. I got a second wind about 4am, and just didn't sleep. And the only thing I got accomplished during this time was the next chapter of Trials (which was uber chapter, so I'm okay with this).

Well, because of my lack of sleep and all the stress of trying to get last minute assignments done, I was totally emotional today. I mean, I would cry at the drop of a hat. I had like seven different fights with Preston, all stupid and pointless, and...well, I've already said it, I cried like all day. I just felt like everything kept going wrong. I was too stupid to sleep. I showed up, freezing cold, on campus and hour before anything opened, I spilled a milkshake all over me, and my stupid computer can't reach my school's email because my version of Internet Explorer is too new. How retarded is that? Oh, and anyone remember the story from last year's Xmas where I pulled a muscle decorating? Yeah, somehow, I've pulled that same muscle again and it has been hurting all day.

However, things are better. Preston, in efforts to keep me at home and make me feel better, downloaded an older version of Firefox, whice allows me to actually access the stuff that I need. I was so happy to not have to go back to Collier. I finally went to sleep (in fact, at this moment, I've only been up for a little over fifteen minutes). And I had a bunch of reviews and a blog update from Savvy in my email that really cheered me up! So, things are looking up.

No, I'm not done with the movie project. But, you know what, it's the weekend! I'll get it done, and I'll get it done soon. My group (a whole different set of grievances here) can bite me.

So, feeling better after some sleep,
Trish

Readjusting to the Sun AKA Post Nano

Okay, so I didn't make it, again, this year in NaNo. But I'm not bummed out by this like I usually am. Instead, I made it the furthest I had ever made it before...if I exclude the fanfic chapters I added towards the end (knowing that there was no way I could squeeze out the amount of words needed for me to win with one day to go) I made it to a little over 23k. Usually, I'm lucky if I top 10k or 12k. Much improved! I might have even finished this year, if it had not been for Thanksgiving and stuff being due all in the same bloody week. It was like I woke up that Monday and was like, "Oh...everything, huh?" But, I'm going to try again next year. I know, I know...I'm getting married next year. Well, I'm still doing NaNo. It's very important to me that I actually finish it at least once...especially since I know I'm capable of writing over 50k (my fanfic, Untested, topped out at a little over 72k...so, yeah).

Anyhow, moving on. There's only four more total days of regular class left. I could do the Peanut Butter Jelly Time dance right here in the middle of the LRC. I'm so ready to leave and be done. Of course, there's this crippling fear of unemployment plaguing me...

I'm also trying to get my writing on schedule, whilst also handling what I've got left to do for Xmas. I'm so sacrificing sleep tonight to get out a chapter or two of something. (Wow...I just zoned right here in the middle of this thing to play with the scanner thing to check out books...). Back on track, I'm looking to finish All Fall Down soon...within next week, actually. I have a paper and a project to complete this weekend...Lord knows about another paper that was assigned and yet not. I'm sure I flunked the paper I turned in before Thanksgiving...but I should be fine if I do well on the final.

As for Xmas, I've got to finish shopping for Mom, Preston, Laura, and Savvy...I know what I'm getting each one of these people, just gotta get paid to get it. I'm looking to get Mom like three other things...(I only know what two of them will be)...I've already gotten her one thing. I've also gotta figure out what Preston is getting her. Laura's gift is easy. So is Savvy's.

Well, that's it for me. Gonna go eat the last cupcake here at work. Bye!

Bogged Down and Ready for Something to Happen

Well, all is going well for the Trishverse. I have my other half of my loan, which means my money worries are over...I'm still trying to be judicious with my money, mind you, but at least now I can get started on my Xmas shopping. Which, I've already bought my Father's gift and part of dear Slinky's gift...and I already had part of Kimmi's gift...so I'm doing fine.

Above you see a new obsessive pastime of mine...thank you, Slinky...Thanks to her introducing me to the Gimp Program, I am now free to do my own fanart...and so it began. This is one of my two favorites (I've done three...working on a fourth with several more planned.). Also, I finally got my nanovid out...I was really happy with it!

School's going fine...I had a change of work schedules, which is tiring me out even more trying to adjust...My writing has been nil...that part is really what's bothering me...I wanted to finish All Fall Down before Nano...I'm still going to try, despite that I've got a crapload of plans this weekend...

As for Nano, I realized something the other day...I think, for me, I've been going about it all wrong these past few years...I've been too concerned about keeping up with the word count...which is important, but it bogs me down. However, I've found that if I just take it a chapter at a time, not concerned with word count, I actually get more words (see Untested and Years After for examples of this, haha). So, that's how I'm looking at it this year. 50, 000 words, yes...but one chapter at a time.

So, that's it for me. Until next time!

Could Someone Explain to Me...??

Okay, so UNA's handing out additional funds to certain, qualifying students. Now, could someone explain to me why the hell they can't hand me over the other half of my damn refund? I've only waited half the freakin' semester. I'm going to be left high and dry with no money to spend this weekend if that check isn't in the mail tomorrow. And you know what? In good ol' UNA fashion, it probably won't be.

This place bugs me sometimes.

Burnt and Lovin' It AKA Back from the Beach

Okay, so Best Weekend Ever! I so didn't want to come home from the beach...not because of my fiance...I missed him quite a bit...but I just didn't want to go back to class! Blah, classes...Anyway, loved the condo we stayed it. I'll post the pictures I took on my facebook as soon as I get them developed. I also came home with a kitty-kitty. I meant to post a picture of me and Squeak at the top of this blog...but I have an hour to kill here at UNA and my picture is at home. Oh well. On a funny note concerning Squeak...that cat has the worse gas of any cat I've ever met! Man, she is constantly passing gas, it seems. And even I can smell it...and my nose doesn't work right!

Classes, meanwhile on the homefront, are going all right. I have papers coming out the wazoo this semester, but that's okay. I'll just take 'em on one at a time (God, I hope none of them are due on the same day...must look into this...). In one class alone I have like three papers due in...none of them are terribly long though...10 pages at the most.

On the writing front, I'm moving much slower than I would like to. I've been dead tired in the afternoons all this week. I need to catch up on my class reading this weekend, as well as my chapter updates reading...but most of all, I must write. I must produce chapters--plural--this weekend. My sanity depends upon it! I managed to squeeze out a chapter of All Fall Down last night...I should go reread that now to make sure it's okay. I was so dead tired when I was writing it, but I would not go to sleep until I finished it. Well, it's out there now. I must work on/finish the next chapter of Untested this weekend...I only have two updates left on that damn story. Why must I always slow down right at the end? I think I might have a tiny problem with closure...well, I didn't with To Be History...but I was so tired of that story it was ridiculous. Funny that the last few chapters of it, though, had been my favorite. Anyhow, back to the present...Untested is almost finished...I'll follow it up with the Prologue of Trials, its sequel, then move on to finish Baby Makes Three...probably slowly finish All Fall Down as well. After that, I'm tackling How to be a Dhampire...on that note, I should really title/semi-outline its sequel...yes, that one will have a sequel too.

Anyway, I've rambled. I'll blog more later about some more random writing stuff.

About to reply to a review for All Fall Down,

Trish

Welcome to Monday...

My 9am class was cancelled, but I came early anyhow to work on the internet. I actually managed to sleep through the night until a decent hour!

Blah, I have an hour until my class...and then work. I've nothing really to blog about...I'm going to the beach this weekend!! I can't wait!

um...so, that's all...nothing eventful, like, at all.

I Miss a Button...Sue Me...

Okay, so my payment issues, concerning my refund, were starting up again this semester...then I went to the appropriate office to check it out. I had missed the Accept Terms and Conditions button...now, it's all pay save for $212 of it...which, I don't know what that's about. I'll check on that tomorrow afternoon...

Other than that, my classes mostly require reading this semester and writing (when don't they, huh?), but nothing more than usual. I've got a group project in one that I'm just dreading...I hate group projects with a passion!

On to more pleasant things, I've been writing quite a bit...oh, nothing publishable, but I'm working towards that goal. Still trying to finish Untested...oh, so much to do!

Oh, and as of 3pm today I've been awake 12 hours...now 14...I'm...so...tired!!

Game, Set, Match!

I FRICKIN' DID IT!!!!! I made it to 100 fanfics before Ariyana graduated! Yes! Granted, it wasn't all the chapter fics I meant to start...which is good. I have enough chapter fics going to be adding, like, five or six more. However, I did add two more to my list. Ah, the hefty price of this goal...but I did it! I have 100 fics even! Woot!

In related news, you know what I hate? Reviewers who have not thought out their criticism on my works. I got this one who was like, "You've put Tara in a story with no positive course. Why should I continue to read it or you, as an author, write it?" He said other things (and might I note, he hasn't got a single story posted), but after I got done having my say with him...I told him not to come back. Bastard. I hate stupid people. In fact, I should do a rant on that alone later.

And in unrelated news, here's a funny story. I thought I was going to fail--epic-ly--Literary Criticism. In fact, if I passed, I thought I would only make a C. Folks, C was at best. I wrote this Virginia Woolf paper...and I thought I had epic-ly failed, seriously. So, I'm waiting for our grades to be posted. Still, not yet. I started making alternate plans if I failed this class, which, by the way, is required for my degree. Then, Hillary mentions that if you look on your unoffical transcript online, they post your grades as you get them. After searching for it (they had taken it off of the page it was supposed to be on) I scroll down...and see a B by Literary Criticism. I was so happy...I broke into tears. And not just any tears...I mean, hysterically happy tears. And this was after I was on the phone with Preston telling him I had passed. I must have sounded like a crazy person. According to Slink, I sounded like a mother whose child had not been breathing had suddenly taken a breath again. Or like I had just escaped a terrible plane accident. I'm sure Preston was like, "Oh my God, what's wrong with her?" I felt so stupid. But it was very funny.

College will be the death of me. I've had two fits of hysteria this semester...once when I thought I was going to fail my history paper...and now this. Seriously, I hope I have a healthy heart...cause it can't take much more of this.

So, that's all from me!

Going to spend some quality time with D and Alucard,
Trish

Purpose to Blog

Paticia's Work Status:
Lit. Crit Paper and Presentation: Done
Finals: Working on them.
Summer Jobs: 2

Now, before I continue with my blog, let me stop and do something for the Pub 2009 Challenge I am currently participating in. I've read my first Pub Book, Hideyuki Kikuchi's Vampire Hunter D: Volume 12 Pale Fallen Angels Parts 3 and 4. So, in honor of this book, here's my review for it.

Picking up where Parts 1 and 2 left off, D and his troupe finally make it to the city they've been seeking. Although D's contract is now fulfilled (and we all know D's all about the contract), his job is far from over. The Baron, the vampire noble that D was hired by, goes to face his father, while D sticks around to see how things turn out (not to mention, he's taken up on a contract by May, one of the girls that has been travelling with him). The Baron's vampire, the vampire lord Vlad who rules over the town, sends after D and the Baron with a whole new troupe of bad guys. Also, new allies are made as D and his group race to destroy Vlad once and for all. That is, unless the Destroy that is possessing the vampire Miska kills them all first.

So, I finished this book in like, two days. Loved it and I can't wait for volume 13, out this October!

Continuing on, I've been thinking about this blog, wondering what it is that I should blog about. Most people have a sort of theme for their blog...their personal lives, crafts, cooking...I've run across several. Now, although my life will continued to be blogged about in this place--since it is The Trishverse (i.e. Trish's 'Verse)--I think the purpose of this blog may come to serve something that I do often in real life and have done rarely here. I'll rant about my writing and my love of fandom! After all, those are two of the most important things in my life, following after my loved ones, that is.

So, my purpose to blog? Finally found it...and I'm surprised it's taken me this long. I'll be back later, possibly tonight, tomorrow, or Monday, with my first fandom blog!

Kidnapped by Alucard, D, and the Winchester Brothers in Order to Defeat True Evil,
Trish

Racing to 100

I have this goal. I think I've mentioned it before. 100 fanfictions by the time Ariyana graduates (i.e. the end of the semester). Where do I stand on this goal? 88 fanfics and counting. I intend to do another one-shot crossover tonight...I may call it "Alone." It's Tara (from Buffy:TVS) and Lacroix (from Forever Knight). I also intend to work on the next one-shot in the Youth and Innocence story. Yup, still in vamp mode.

And no, still no paper for Lit. Crit. He moved the due date of the paper until Wednesday (not today, next Wednesday!), and I got off lucky because I don't have to do my presentation for that class until Monday. Which means, yeah, definitely gotta do that paper this weekend...and tell Mom and Laura that I still can't make it home.

On another note, my wedding dress is in! It's currently under Ariyana's mom's protection (when she gets it from the post office). I'll have it either this weekend or next! I'm so excited! I can't wait to try it on!

Back to school here, I did my reading for Oral Traditon. I haven't had a chance to read over the comments from my peers or my teacher, but, out loud, Garner said that I did an excellent job acting out my dialogue. By the way, I read from All Together Dead, the 7th in the Sookie Stackhouse series. I had so much fun reading it!

And tomorrow, in between classes, I intend to edit my history paper...that's only about 30 minutes (if even that) of work. Then, I turn it in Fri. and all I have to do is attend that class and take its final. Funny, I was worried sick about taking that class (it was required for my minor), but it turned out to be, like, one of the easiest ones I had this semester. The only class easier (and probably a little bit more fun) was Oral Tradition.

So, that's it for me. I'm off (got to go finish closing the LRC). See you next time!

So, I Went to Castlevania for a Meeting with Dracula...

Yeah, I'm in full vampire mode. Dunno why...just am. I'm having to practically sit on my hands to keep from writing the next chapter of Untested...I should do another chapter of Dilemma while my brain's on vampires...but I don't know quite what happens next...well, I do, but I don't, you know?

And, if anyone's still wondering...no, paper not done...But! I did get some fantastic news for my History paper! He loved it! Called it excellent! I'm estatic!

Also, if you're still wondering, I still hate Simon Belmont. With a fiery red passion. I feel the need to write an Alucard fic...maybe for the xover challenge...I'm still deciding...

I think I would be good friends with Left Hand...random, sorry.

So, that's about it for me...going to go off and try to produce a chapter of something.

And eat...

Blogging...More Important Than Food!

Yeah, so I have class in like an hour and fourty minutes and I havent' eaten lunch yet. So, I have to make this quick.

One paper down, another paper, a presentation, a prose reading, and finals to go. Sound like a lot? Well, the only ones I'm worried about is that other paper and the presentation (which goes along with it). Presentations start next Friday, with papers due in by email by noon that monday. So, in essence, I have to have my paper done (with a powerpoint for my presentation) done by Friday. The powerpoint will be easy once I have my paper...the paper on the other hand...could someone just put me in a coma until Tuesday the 28th?

On other notes, I've really been working on my writing, more fan fiction than original, but writing's writing. It's still practice in honing my skills. Sound like a waste of time? Thinking I should be working on my paper? Probably, but since being a professional writier is the career I want--scratch that, need--...bite me. I'm gonna write! On that note, I've been pretty regular on my chapters of fanfiction with How to be a Dhampire and Untested being the two I've probably updated on the most. I have a poll up on my fanfiction profile that asks which older story people would like me to complete first. So far, Of Old Gods and Archaeologists is in the lead with three votes. So, drop by and vote if you've got a minute.

On original fiction, well I'd really like to work on some Dark Mistress...but guess what? What I have of my re-write is on the harddrive of my failed computer...which Preston has and can't get it off without some such cord. I think he just keeps forgetting to do it. Which is fine...you know, it's not like life or death or anything, and there are more important things that I need him to do. Oh! And I put up a chapter of The Dilemma of House Wraithwood...so, if you haven't read it yet--and you know who you are--go do it! I'd really like some feedback on the small developments of the story so far. And, you know, I'm a review whore, so...

Oh, and on my goal of reaching 100 fanfics up before the end of this semester...I'm at 86...may not make it, but I've gonna get damn close. Well, wish me luck on papers and writing everyone! And good luck to all those going through the same end of semester hell!

Gone to eat,
Trish

Fanfiction.net Just Needs to Hire Me

Okay, so I've sent in two character lists to that site and gotten them both added. In both cases, however, they've refused to add OC (original character) to the lists. However, in times passed, I asked for OC to be added to all the subsections in the book category with a pull-down menu. And they did.

So I'm going to use Slink for my plans and have her start emailing these people. Sigh.

As for real life...blah. Had a great weekend with Preston this past weekend. However, I have two papers fast approaching...both of which I really have no subject for. Blah. Well, I'm off!

Fingers to the Bone...Sort of...

Well, Fanfiction.net is working again. I've been keeping my promise to myself to keep my updates semi-regular (i.e. not two years apart!!).

Life is going pretty good. My grades are holding out at As or Bs (although I definitely see Cs in my future). And I've been pretty actively partcipating in the Guild of the Fantastic Quill Challenges.

I've got two completed original short stories that I'm going to post on fictionpress soon (tonight at best, tomorrow night at worst) that I look forward to hearing from everybody on! One of them was for my creative writing class last semester and the other was an essay assignment for my midterm in my Oral Tradition class.

I'm slowly working on my goal of having 100 fanfictions started by the end of this semester. I'm at 77. I have ideas for two one-shots (one chapter stories), and I've got at least one chapter length one I intend to start soon enough. And with the challenges being of both fanfiction and original fiction origin, I'll meet this goal, no prob!

Well, that's all for me. Feel a little tired right now (but I'm at work, that's normal!), so I'm going to go! See ya!

P.S. Sunday is my birthday! I turn a dreaded 23! I expect love and sweets (lol) to make me forget this!!

Tis the Season for...Eating Turkey!

Okay, so I'm still behind in two (technically) of my classes, but I'm not worried. It's not really as much as I thought. And I've got time, just not that much.

I check out of my dorm at noon and I'm gone home until Sunday sometime at 1pm. And I've got a busy schedule for the holidays. It is as follows:

Tues, Nov. 25-- Check out, pick up Mom from work, prepare shopping lists, check Christmas lights, make admendments to shopping list.

Wed, Nov. 26-- Go with Mom to pick up her check, shop for rest of Thanksgiving stuff, fill out for advance on Income Tax, possibly go see Twilight

Thurs, Nov. 27-- Turkey Day! Cooking, eating, cleaning up, sleeping

Fri, Nov. 28-- Black Friday! This is the first time I'll have ever shopped on Black Friday! I'm so excited! I really get to be the aggressive shopper I am because it's actually expected on this day!

Sat, Nov. 29-- Decorate my house for Xmas. One of my favorite things to do! This means listening to Xmas music and swearing at my decorations...and planning as I go...I love it!

Sun, Nov. 30-- Pack for dorm, get back to dorm, do any remaing homework that absolutely needs to be done.

What's great about this is my exams start Dec. 5 and I can check out of my dorm on Dec. 11. I only have two actual exams--and I've got a week to work on one of them. I have a book report, of sorts, due in American History I on the day of the exam--which is comprehensive. I've got a paper (8-10 pages) due in Chaucer by the 10th. And my Creative Writing Portfolio is due on Dec. 5. I also work in between these days.

So, gotta go now. I'm at work once again. Must go check email and harrass my fellow RPGers.

Oh Yeah...I'm in College...I Guess I Forgot

I"m so F**king behind in my schoolwork. Let me lay it out for you: I've got a Chaucer paper that needs a subject, TWO Linguistics tests that need finishing, and Creative Writing...stuff that needs to be done. I've done zip. Well, I've Nano-ed. That's about it. Actually, I should be doing something of that list--including NaNo--right now.

Okay, just a little mini-rant here. God, I've got so much to do...

Challenges, and Schoolwork, and Life...Oh my!

Okay, so NaNoWriMo is just around the corner. I need just a few more notes and a clean desk to start going...at the appropriate time, of course. Also, I heard about this reading challenge that I think I'm going to participate in. More on that later.

Schoolwork wise...I've got to get a move on with my creative writing homework. Also, I have a US History I quiz on Thurs. (not worried about that), a Chaucer paper that needs a subject, and two linguists tests that need finishing.

And life...well...I'm worried about Xmas money. I'm worried about my grades this semester. I'm planning (might as well say) my wedding to take place probably on the first weekend of November in 2010. I've figured out that to have my 4 kids and have a year to just be married to Preston, I'd have to have my first kid by the time I'm 25. People, I'm 22. I turn 23 on March 8th. I could vomit a little. I also have to make sure Preston has an apartment before my fall semester next year so I can have a place to live. I also have to get my license this summer. Not to mention a car ASAP I can after I have my license. Let's see...what else is weighing on my mind...

I might have covered it all. On a lighter note, Ren Faire this year was a blast! Ran into a lot of friends. Slink, Savvy, Preston, and myself are thinking about putting up a booth next year. I think that sounds like a great idea. Getting the space shouldn't be a problem...I'm going to do masks, oils, and whatever else I can think of. I wonder if there is a place I can get a discount if I buy a bulk of masks? Hmmm...

I'm playing Order of Eccelsia, by the way, and it's freakin' awesome! And I'm reading my newest D book! Vampires, vampires, all around me! I could squee! Speaking of which, I need to watch some True Blood tonight (Eric!!!!!). As well as some Stargate (Rodney!!!!!!). Well, gotta go. I'm about to have to start closing the LRC. Yes, I'm at work again. I'm a bad bad girl. See you!

So Much to Do And Never Enough Time

Isn't that the truth? I've got to put up at least three poems (well, two, at least, but I'm aiming for three) for my Creative Writing class. I think I'm putting up a revised version of my very first poem. I've got a 5-7 page paper due for History of Balkans and the exam the following week in that class is three identifies (a paragraph each) and an essay. I've got a quiz tomorrow in Chaucer. I've got to have poems critiqued for CW class by tomorrow. I've got a Linguists test I haven't finished yet (it's a take-home test). About the only class I'm not really worried about is American History I. So, how much of this have I got finished? Zlich. Nada. Nothing. The Big Zip.

Also, I've still got to print and send the invatiations to my Halloween Party, order my costume, finish shopping for the decorations, make a list of all the need ingrediants for the foodstuffs, shop for the foodstuffs, make the foodstuffs, make sure I get all the RSVPs in time, finish setting up the games, and I'm sure many more things. How much of this have I got finished? See answer above.

And I don't even want to get into my Xmas shopping. Nope. Not going there.

So, what am I going to do right this moment in time? I'll tell you. I'm going to take my happy ass over and post on Girls' Night Out, an RPG I'm playing on.

Speaking of that, there is this noob that has been posting....HORRIBLY INCORRECTLY on that RPG. He hasn't read the rules, he hasn't done what's been asked of him, hasn't even responded to my OOC comments directed towards him. People, I'm the Adminstrator of the forum that Girls Night is in. Yeah. He deliberate ingorned the admin. So I banned him. My fellow RPGers were so happy, they were making plans to back me up if he intended to start flaming me. They hated this kid just as much as I do. One RPGer actually printed out the OOC that I wrote that told him of his current banned status and duct taped it to my dorm door. It's still there. I'm proud of it. Now, I'm justing waiting for his response. Well, actually, I'm gonna go post. See you!
