Just thought I'd share this with you all:
I did it. I started and ended a novel. Is it the best one out there? Of course not. However, I got it done, and I'm proud.
Now, for a Thank God It's Over party...=)
If you'd like to read it, I can email you the ginormous Word document. Just give me your address and I'll fire it off to you ASAP. I'll warn you though, it has a fair share of romance and death if that's not your thing.
I'm quitting Shakespeare. I told Allison that I wasn't going to Blackfriars today, and she flipped, saying that I could spend every waking moment with Alex but I couldn't spend a day with my cast. We were messaging over Facebook, and I said that if she preferred, she could have the entire cast to herself and I'd give the Shakespeare shirt back to her on Monday.
She texted me in the middle of the night and apologized for how she acted, but if I still wanted to quit, she would understand. Let's just say that since it was late and my monthly visitor was here, I decided I would leave things as they were in case my hormones made them even worse.
Seriously, though? It's not like I'm an editor of a newspaper or an officer of a school club or in a musical or carless or a busy student or anything like that. I'll admit that I spend a lot of time with Alex, but that's because HE'S MY BOYFRIEND. I didn't think it was a crime to hang out with someone I was dating.
Oh well; I talked to Alex's brother about it, and he told me that his own girlfriend who is in the play got bitched out for not going on the trip today. She has a public access show and she hasn't been able to film it because she lost her camera. She told Allison this who FREAKED and assumed the girl was skipping to go hang out with Will.
...
I suppose relationships are the suspected downfall of the Shakespeare play or something?
Anyway, when I told Mom what happened, she told me I was a bitch for doing it. I guess she'll see the light when she no longer has to wait around till six multiple nights of the week to pick me up from rehearsal.
In other news, I'm going to see Twilight this Friday.
Michael came back from college to visit for Thanksgiving. Alex and I had lunch with him yesterday and then spent time wandering around Target with him. I miss him. I miss a lot of the older kids who've graduated since I've been in high school. I just don't bond as well with most of the kids in the younger grades that have replaced them.
(Yes, Manda and Mindy, I'm looking at you!)
So, it's the last day of November. It's so bizarre, you know? It's almost the second semester, meaning that I'm that much closer to leaving high school.
Granted, I can't wait. I'm so ready to be free.
So, Friday night at dinner, Alex's dad said that they were thinking about driving to Orlando, Florida for spring break. Given
the dream that I had the other night about their family vacation to Florida, it took a lot for me not to scream, "OH MY GOD, DON'T DO IT!"
Patty calls me a clairvoyant. I hope not; that dream does NOT need to come true.
Anyway, I'm off to busy myself elsewhere. Congrats to all the other WriMos!
