Indeed, I should be working on a most dreaded homework assignment right now, but it's been a while since I wrote in my journal so I think I can put it off just a bit longer. If the entry runs longs it is because I am a world-class shirker. Now, this dreaded assignment is a short story I have to write for creative writing. For a lot of the people I know, this would be a really fun assignment, but for me it is a bit problematic. I do like to write fanfiction a lot. It's not the best out there, but it's certainly not the worst. While I do have a small amount of confidence in that area, I have absolutely none in my ability to write original fiction. Besides this, I have trouble with "short" writing. I have only written a couple of fanfics so far, but they have been long, multi-chapter stories. I just can't seem to say anything good or meaningful if a short work. I wish I could. I so envy the people who can write brilliant one-shots. I get an idea very rarely, but when I do it's always long and kind of... well, more about what happens than what the deeper meaning is.
I always complain about how I have no ideas to write about, but now that I have no time to write fanfiction I am starting to get a few. I have been thinking up some ideas for my story about "little Aizen" that I think will be fun to write. But by the time I get to writing it, anyone who liked the first three chapters won't care anymore. Oh, for the record, I based the characters in my short story on characters from Bleach... But my teacher and classmates do not need to know this. If anyone thinks that this is a childish and unprofessional way of writing, I know and I am not bothered by it. All I can say is that characters that I totally make up on my own, I simply to not care about them.
Lost last night was really good again. Sun and Jin have about the most dramatic angsty marriage I've seen on television... Of course, I do not watch a lot of heavy melodramas. Ah, it would seem that the real world has been moving at the same pace as the island. It is always possible that it is moving faster outside, but it is not moving slower. Sawyer and Kate's scenes= so much love... but I don't need to ramble about that because I have already expressed my feelings on several occasions. I am squeeing inside a little though (my inner fangirlishness). Next week we're back with the hatchlings: Locke, Eko, and nekid Desmond...
Well, since last night was Lost night, that means that tonight is the Office and Grey's Anatomy night. I like Thursday a lot because I don't have classes on Friday... Uh... but tomorrow I have to go somewhere unpleasant so I don't know how to feel. At least it is supposed to be much cooler tomorrow. It actually pisses me off quite a bit to see girls on campus still wearing short shorts in the middle of October. And it's not just because I think it's kind of skanky (or that I am a bit jealous that I am too ugly to wear them) but because I hate warm weather. These shorts clad folks seem so happy with the weather, too. I don't mind people enjoying warm weather in the summer, but this is fall dammit! Why do people love this shitty global-warmified disgusting sort of autumn?
I guess I'd better work on that stupid short story now... groan... I still want Pokemon Diamond Pearl right now!
