Been 8 weeks.
I'm terrible, aren't I?
Life's been pretty good, actually! Shall we have some updates?
-The Princess and the Frog's only a couple of weeks away now, and the excitement's really building up! I can't wait to see Tiana's Showboat Jubilee in Disneyland. It's already premiered, but my mom and I were too late to see the last showing when we went on Sunday. Oh well. It's not too bad, we're going on Thanksgiving again anyway! xD
-Speaking of Disneyland, it's all done up for Christmas now! It's really nice, but I think it's going to be maybe a couple of weeks until I'm really in the Christmas spirit. It feels a bit too early, but I still can't wait! (Btw, Christmas fireworks canceled because of high winds. Fantasmic was still good, though!)
-My mom's birthday is on Friday. We went to Benihana's today to celebrate. It was quite an experience! I now know why Mom likes that place so much. Oh yeah, and we're going to El Torito's on Friday. To celebrate. Again. Why yes, I was shocked! But apparently it was my dad's idea. After the initial O.o, I figured hey, I'm going to get to enjoy my one true love the Deep Fried Ice Cream again!
-I won't tell all of the details about this , but most of today involved a math test and the fact that I am SO GLAD I'm homeschooled. Let's just leave it it at that. xD
-Writing's been going well, actually. STILL on Chapter 14 of LAL and FINALLY got a beta. The wonderfully awesome Sprinklemist is gonna help me with this mess of a story. Y'know, I've been meaning to do that, but I put it off until around the beginning of the month, when I had a sort of writer's mental breakdown and nearly said "Screw it, LAL will never be finished", but what the heck kind of attitude is that? I ended up breaking down and making a blog post on my favorite fanfiction community. LAL needs to be finished, and then I'll decide whether I'm off fanfiction forever or not. Heck, maybe I'll even go back to thinking about those book plots swirling around in my head. Whatever, though. Until it's over, LAL is my number one concern when it comes to writing now.
-Speaking of LAL, I made a cover art for it! And people seem to actually like it, too. :D I think I'll try posting it to the Total Drama Island LJ community. I'm not sure if I've actually posted LAL on there. I think I may have, but I'll have to check. I took a picture of a regular kitchen knife dipped in fake blood from Halloween, scanned it on to my computer, printed it out, traced over it using a flashlight, scanned it back on to my computer, colored in the blood with ArtRage, and added in the text with GIMP! Easy, huh? xD I actually spent a lot of last weekend on it, and I'm actually pretty happy with it!
-I think I'll go read some horrible fanfiction to make myself feel better about my own writing skills. xD
So, to end this blog post, I will say:
UP LOOKS FREAKING AWESOME ON THE BLU-RAY.
And that is a fact.
Later lovelies,
Gigi
