So... I haven't posted in ten months ( Read more... )

Today I booked Hart House farm for my writer's club retreat. Yay for doing something productive ( Read more... )

It's one of those early spring days, the kind that make me feel weird. The kind where it's bright out for too long (daylight saving time, feh) and I'm not used to it, and it's warm enough to go out without a coat, but there's still snow on the ground, and now I'm in the Trinity College library, in their too-warm, stuffy computer lab, in my camisole ( Read more... )

I'm curious about why people like certain characters, and if there's any pattern to the kinds of character types they like.

On the subway on my way to school today, this guy comes over and sits by me and starts talking to me, like, "Hey how have you been?" And I'm just like "Good..." thinking he's nuts, and thinking I'll get off at the next stop and switch cars. And then he mentions JCS, which was my elementary school, so I realize that he actually knows me, but I still ( Read more... )

It's a week late, and I can't hand it in until Monday now, but it's finished! Yay! 
It really shouldn't have taken that long since it's a personal essay and therefore so much easier to write than a reasearch paper or on analytical essay. It's for my creative writing class. We were supposed to write about the work of an author we've read in ( Read more... )

I have stuff I should be doing. Homework type stuff, with deadlines. Instead, I'm filling out this Characters' Values Questionaire by
