My laptop is dying.
Year is ending.
High school is finishing.
I continue to avoid that relationship. I don't even care anymore.
My mum grows increasingly worried about my well being since reading Nineteen minutes by Jodi Picult.
I probably shouldn't tell her that I can somewhat relate to that boy.

Canned spaghetti, coffee, and Eight grade bites
I wanted to write a review about The chronicles of Vladimir Tod: Eight grade bites by Heather Brewer for a while but I never got around to it; until now.

Scheiß die Wand an
I'm finally done with those goddamn German oral exams. I think I did pretty well in this one. We had to do a monologue for this one, which is basically rambling on a topic they give you for three minutes. This is hard for everyone because it's quite advanced stuff. Sometimes I wish I were like my brother, who left his German behind at 16 and ( Read more... ) -

Belonging
I wrote a short story today. You can check it out at my fiction press account: http://www.fictionpress.com/u/673865/x-The-Duck
Preview:
Silence. A break from the outside world. A world of limits and demands, a world he had to 'fit in' to in order to survive. A world amongst humans was troublesome. No place for a monster like him. But not here, not ( Read more... ) -
Update on my writing blog: Why not to use Stephenie Meyer as an influence
I updated my writing blog x_theduckwrites, and I put up an article I wrote about why not to use Stephenie Meyer as a writing influence. I will probably continue it when I come up with something, in the mean time, have a looksie, and report back to me on anything I missed.
