some will win, some will lose, some of them just sing the blues
*peeks out from beneath a fake boulder* *waves*
I'm not dead. It's just that a) I've been incredibly busy lately (and will likely remain incredibly busy, due to homework and dance, pretty much restricting my online time to Friday through Sunday) and b) Livejournal was strangely not allowing me to type things into the entry box which was kind of weird. But now it's working which makes me go yay!
So nothing much has been going on with me, other than school and dance owning my life. Oh, except for the juniors' Epic Fail at quiz bowl, allowing the Ickle Froshies to dominate us. And even though "Don't Stop Believin'" was part of that Epic Failure, I still cannot resist blasting that song in my car and singing loudly while driving home from dance. I know it's a dangerous thing to blast music and rock out while driving (especially in the dark), but the way I see it, "Don't Stop Believin'" is a pretty good song to hear right before you die. But I survive.
Oh, and I also came up with an alphabet for the language(s) spoken in my writings (because they sure as hell don't speak English). Eventually I hope to create a whole language for them, but that will be a very time-consuming effort. (And then I have to take into account that there will be at least one language spoken on every continent, and I prominently deal with two continents in my writings, so then I'll have to put the effort into mentioning things like Karis and Xavier only being able to speak Saturan (the language of the Satura continent, where my writings mainly take place) when they go to Thoswodawn, which is on the Velle continent. And it's highly probable that the people on Soalis Island would have their own language, but that would make things even more complicated because I have quite a few islanders going back and forth from the mainland. (I'll probably just make them bilingual. They'd have to be able to speak Saturan for trading purposes, anyway.)
Also, this website is officially the Best Website Ever. I discovered it Labor Day Weekend and there's still so much more for me to explore. (And don't be scared off by the word "trope," AP English students. These are fun kinds of tropes, more broadly defined than just "artful diction.") It's very much for the fandom-oriented, which is why I find it so awesome. (So if I start using weird phrases on here, they most likely come from that website.) Anyway. Best Website Ever. Go check it out, though you might be sucked in forever.
(I think I need to switch up my icons. I'm starting to get tired of the ones I have right now.)
