I'm Back (Previously Xia;)

Okie dokie. Where do I start?Firstly, I had an identity crisis over the summer. A good, yet bad one. Lots of shit happened at my internship and so I turned to the one thing that's always supplied me with comfort.Metal.Forget the K-Pop, I have returned as a fully-enthralled, Satan worshiping metalhead who paints pentagrams on her roommates' doors and stakes goat heads out on the dorm lawn.Anyways,...

Goodbye, Mibba

Yes, the title actually means what it says. I feel it is time. For a couple years now, I've been preparing for this day, but it still saddens me. I've made the decision to stop updating--all except my co-write with Bre and the fanfiction I'm finishing for Nikita.The reason being that I'm ready to move on to more professional areas. Everything that I'm considering eventually publishing will be...

Fellow Camp NaNo Participants

So I really have no idea what Camp NaNo is expecting of me or what I'm really doing there, but I signed up! After completing NaNo in November, my writing bug has mostly returned and I'm on the road for my next book!Mostly I'm asking if anyone else is doing Camp NaNo here and if they can:1) Explain to me what's happening. I just threw myself into the campfire.2) Wanna be buddies? Maybe? Sorta? Just...

This Boat Is Sinking Fast

I had an internship lined up at the beginning of the year in Nashville, TN with the company that I dreamed of working for.A couple weeks ago, my intel inside the company told me that many employees would be let go and she didn't know what that meant for interns.On Sunday, I was informed my intel was one of those people who is being let go. Over half the employees at this company have been let go...

I Miss When People Wrote Me Fanfiction One-Shots

Like back in the day when I was more apart of this community, I'd search through blogs when I was going through a fandomship crisis and people would be taking one-shot requests. I'd request that damned one-shot and then fangirl for days and read it a hundred times over. It'd help with the fangirl feels that threatened to rip out of my chest and pulverize the state.Now, Nikki is the only one who...

I Feel Like I'm Drowning

I don't know what this feeling is, but it needs to stop. I'm in this self-loathing, pity-party rut where I feel alone. I'm not alone, I have friends. And they're good and amazing friends, but I still feel alone...Classes are going well, yet I still get anxious for them every time.Part of this has to do with the fact that I'm not losing weight despite the fact I'm more active and eating better....

Any Hawaii 5-0 Fans on Here?

Guys, I'm just in that fangirling obsessive mood. Even though I've been watching Hawaii 5-0 since its beginning in 2010, it never gets old and I'm attacked with feels each time I come home and mom has all the episodes DVR'ed for us to watch in the evenings.Its not my favorite show on TV--Blue Bloods is--but its probably a close second. How do you not enjoy that show with Steve and Danny forever...

Xia's NaNoWriMo Log

For NaNoWriMo: Research on Japan

I feel like I'm going to break Google. I'm a researching spree for Japan. I'm familiar with Korean culture and hell, even more so Chinese than Japan. I've never had a whole lot of interest in Japanese culture. Well, I have, but it was my lowest out of the three mentioned. However, when you create a character that's Japanese and start your story in Japan, you kinda need to do some research.Here's...

As a Republican, I Think You Should Know...

I usually don't make my political views extremely public, but I'm a little fired up so:With myself being a member of the Republican party, I'd like you all to know something very important about my thoughts on Trump.I would rather get hit by a bus than vote for that...man.I watched pieces of the GOP debate tonight and I could do nothing, but facepalm the entire time Trump opened his mouth. Bush...

Rest in Peace, Alison Parker & Adam Ward

As a journalist and reporter, I can not express my heartache enough for these people and their families. I'd just recently decided to be a camera(wo)man because I thought being behind the camera would be far less dangerous than being in front of it.Its unreal how many female anchors and reporters disappear every year.But witnessing what happened yesterday morning, it makes me almost fear my line...

I Will Be Leaving Mibba

Eventually.Not that anyone really cares becausea) I don't talk to anyone on here anymore except Jade bb. All the other friends I've made are on Facebook or other social media where I can contact them.b) My stories don't get read anymore. I'm nothing popular.Now, I'm not throwing a pity party. I've just lost interest in this site. I have no motivation to go out and try to find new friends on here;...

Part One of My Adventures in China Series

If My Horse Was a Person

Hey, ya'll! I totally forgot to mention in this video that Shania would totally look like Laila Ali if she was human. Because Laila is beautiful and an almighty queen! All hail!Does anyone else have a pet with serious attitude? Because I've found no four legged creature that quite beats Shania's intense dislike of everything except herself. Granted, she's gorgeous and was the horse of my glory...

Animals = Stress Relief + Support Your Local Humane Society

Hey, ya'll! This last week was absolutely crappy with me freaking out over little things and just everything being BLEH! This week probably won't be superbly great either, BUT I'll deal with it. c:This week's vlog was all about how animals are a great stress relief--for me at least--and also on how to help your local humane society/pet shelter rather than the big organizations that claim to...
