A few noteworthy things today.

First of all, last night I came across a fantastic article online.. Why We Deserve Better Villains - And How To Get Them. I thought this was ironic, considering yesterday's villain/hero quick-write in creative writing. My creative writing teacher is a big comic book nerd. He knows pretty much everything about all the ( Read more... )

You will not believe what came in the mail for me today. Please read the following in an extremely preppy, campy voice: Like, ohmaigawd, an entry form for, like, the National American Miss Pageant!

I am so totally not even joking. Check out their website here. The amount of pink on these pamphlets.. It blinds me. There's tons of pictures of preppy ( Read more... )

The first week of school at Hogwarts was exciting, exhilarating, and exhausting. It was a relief to everyone, even the professors, when the first weekend rolled around.

Saturday found Asp sleeping in late, but when he got up at ten am, he found that Layali hadn’t yet emerged from the girls' dorms. He’d had breakfast and received, read, and ( Read more... )

Their last class of the day just happened to be Potions, with Professor Malfoy. This, too, was a joint Slytherin-Gryffindor class, the first since Charms that morning, and again Jamila sat on Asp’s other side, but with a sullen silence, barely sparing him a glance.

As the students began to fill the room, and Asp and his companions took out their ( Read more... )

So a while ago I started writing a Harry Potter fanfic, my first in quite a while, but then... I got discouraged, and it faded into the background. But now I've decided to give it another go, and this time I'll also be posting my chapters up here on LJ! And so, without any further ado, let us begin..

Well, shit. No new pills. No easy fix. Just therapy. Again. Peachy keen.

The doctor said that Cilexa [which I was on before Lexapro; Lexapro is essentially a stronger derivative of Cilexa] and Lexapro [which I'm on now] are pretty mild meds, and that meds more intense than my already teetering-on-the-edge-of-dangerously-high dose of Lexapro would ( Read more... )

So today it snowed properly for the first time all winter.. and there's a possibility that the schools will be closed tomorrow! Dear god I hope they will, because I still have a couple essays to write..

The LOST premiere was tonight! Today I wore my "I'd Get Lost With Sawyer" shirt in celebration, and had an argument with my creative writing teacher ( Read more... )

Permafrost

He is a sculpture of ice,
Perfect and precise,
With finely carved features -
A most self-possessed creature.
His eyes, a stone cold gray,
Coolly survey his prey.
A snide smirk curls his lips,
The coyote's grin before it rips
Into a throat so unsuspecting.
He excels in the effecting
Of a mask of flat indifference.
His constant unruffled appearance

Sooo I found out that there's a fanfiction writing contest being hosted by a local anime club.. And the first prize is $100. I'm soooo entering. I've pulled out my Harry Potter books and have been marking pages with.. certain information I will need to refer to. After the contest has been decided, I will post up the fanfic I entered, even if it ( Read more... )

Only a short post tonight before I seek sleep. Much has been going on, but not really much to report. Mostly just dogged, exhausting work and a horrible cold on top of that. I really do hate winter - I always get sick and my lips chap horribly. All of my skin dries out, really - even my knuckles are starting to crack. Definite lotion attack tonight ( Read more... )
