I'm waiting outside of the classroom for driver'a Ed lecture to start and it's kind of like torture. It's cold because the class is near the entrance (which is open) and it's twenty degrees out. It's also 3:05 pm and school was dismissed at 1:40, so I've been hanging out in an empty cafeteria by myself since then.I hate lecture more than most things. My teacher is a 75 year old man who has had...

Usually when I get home from school (which is around two o'clock), I take a nap until 3:45. I'd rather sleep for a little longer, but my brother is eight and someone needs to get him from the bus stop and his bus comes at 3:50. I maintain that he's old enough to just walk across the street but does anyone listen? No.Anyway, usually during these naps I'm not so much asleep as I'm... lucid dreaming?...

The past few months I've been totally consumed with this story idea and it's been eating me alive. I've written a decent portion of it, but I've found through a lot of trial and error that the words come best when I have a playlist for whatever characters I'm writing at the moment. My playlists don't have creative titles or anything, and I started at first but just dragging a bunch of songs I...

Is there a certain amount of words I have to hit before this becomes a legitimate blog post? I don't know. Maybe. Probably. I should have paid attention to the rules a little bit more.I spent most of my day reading a fic about James and Lily Potter, whom I love more than my own life. If you've read Harry Potter, then you probably know what happens to James and Lily.They die. At twenty-one, leaving...

So around a year ago I got an iPhone for Christmas, and basically tossed my iPod to the curb and started my iTunes library all over again. I recently unearthed it from a mountain of papers in my desk drawer and decided to listen to the playlists I had on there. Dating back to sixth grade.Can you imagine?So basically, after listening in horror for a few minutes, I went through the playlists and...

Hey everyone!I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year and figured I'd do a post about since pretty much everyone else is.It's called Take a Left Off Last Laugh Lane. It's about a girl named Noelle and her partner Jack who are candidates in testing the Mind Meld, an experimental form of alternate reality that is highly volatile and malleable. Everyone who enters it can manipulate it or think things into...

I was walking home from school the other day and saw a cell phone on the ground. It was totally crushed. I think it was a Motorola Razr. I'd like to imagine.When I say crushed I mean it was pulverized into metallic dust with the lone survivor being a tiny "M" for Motorola.Naturally, I wanted to know who in the world decided to torture a piece of technology like that. Maybe it was a gang of iPhones...

So, I spent all day dissecting song lyrics as best I could for the story, which is going to be based off each track from the album Save Rock and Roll by Fall Out Boy.The plot is completely original, and each chapter will go in the general direction of each song (as I've interpreted it).I'm actually sort of silly excited to write it, all I've done so far is make the story page.Which is here, in...

I've been thinking a lot for the past month about writing a story with a chapter that correlates to a song on an album.Like, say, for Fall Out Boy's new album I write a story with eleven chapters and each chapter somehow relates to each song.It's been rolling around in my head since right before finals, but I didn't want to focus too much on it because I really didn't feel like failing all of my...

You know the slogan? "Made From the Best Stuff On Earth"?They are not lying.School lately has been dragging. Which is really unfortunate, because my morale is already at an all time low. It comes with the territory of being so close to finals. It's sort of bittersweet, because school is almost over so everything is all happy unicorns and rainbows but you can't really relax, because then you'll...

This post is inspired by my upcoming Pre-Calculus test.The two solid weeks of finals coming after that.1) I don't know about you, but in every. single. class. there's always that one kid who happened to get a cold miraculously, like they walked into the classroom and Jesus bestowed unto them the glorious gift of sniffling. I'm the kind of person who can get distracted by a butterfly fluttering...
