haha it's no problem:)
I've not been on in a few days anyway :)
They've been a bit crap
but the past few days have been the best ever, since I haven't gotten on with my mum in about.. 4 years?
and we sat down and talked it all through, and now we're getting on so well it's awesome!
so yesterday was the best family christmas ever!
ahh coolies XD
purple is so good!
I got Wednesday 13's live album, and *randomly* an Neil Diamond CD :p
how have things been for you? :)
xx
hey, sorry it took me so long to respond, things have been pretty insane around here (i'm visiting my dad in california and he doesn't have internet in his apartment, so i just got a chance to go online today). my story's up, if you wish to have a look ^_^ i've been having a pretty hard time continuing it, though, but hopefully i'll be able to update it soon enough.
i know exactly what you mean, i used to hate when adults did that too...my older cousins especially were really big jerks lol but i think that's what i find unnerving (yet fascinating) about kids, i think they're probably the best of the entire human race, and are pretty much untouched by hypocrisy and lies and all that yucky stuff. that said, it doesn't mean they're all a bundle of roses. the fact that they can be so cold and downright mean is what disturbs me the most i guess, since they don't try to hide it with fake smiles and stuff, the way most people nowadays do. it's a kind of honesty i think is very rare and hard to find. i don't know if that made sense lol
that's so wicked about your mom going back to school, and you too, it's a really big step. i find that some of the best teachers you will ever meet and some of the best friends you will ever make you meet in writing and art classes (proof, throughout my entire highschool career i had 7 favourite teachers in art and english classes, versus 1 in math lol), so i'm sure you'll have an awesome time, you will definitely meet some cool people, or at the very least people who will make you expand the way you view the world and think about things. as long as you can organize yourself you should be fine with the workload, you can be sure that they will never give you more than you can handle, it's all in how you break down the work.
lately i've been getting my urge to run (an urge i get every three or four years to just run away and start over again, anything not to set down roots someplace...i'm guessing it has to do with the fact that i never stayed in one place longer than a few years when i was a kid, because my dad is like that too), and i've been desperate to just leave work behind, drop out of school, and just go and try to make it as a writer. but, even though i'm confident in my ability as a writer, i know that it would be very foolish for me to drop out and depend solely on that, it's way too risky and it would really limit my line of work (writing vs. communications). not to mention that i should really take advantage of the fact that i'm lucky enough to have my parents still supporting me, to learn new things and prepare myself as much as possible, since i don't have to worry about supporting myself.
but in the end, i just wanna run. and it's so hard to fight that off. especially now that i'm visiting my dad in the states, and i realize how much i miss this society (not all of it, it obviously has some things i dislike, same as any other society, but at the moment i'm living in nicaragua, which is a third world country and overall kind of sucks, so really anything is an improvement) and i'm totally dreading going back.
but anyways...i checked out your friend's story, read the first two chapters. she does have talent, but there are several things i noticed right away, like she needs to organize her writing better (paragraph division, dialogue, etc.), and maybe make it a bit more realistic as far as the characters and their reactions to certain situations (the cat fight disturbed me a little bit)...and some other things...i don't know if i should write to her directly or you would rather relay the message? (i'm afraid it might freak her out if a random stranger starts critiquing her work).
yeah, same with my mum :)
She's awesome at it :) But she just leaves me to my angels :p
awh noes, that sucks :(
*hugs* People in general just suck. I'm lucky i found a few friends who accept me for who I am. Sure, they take the piss constantly, but they love me anyway :p
I know exactly what you mean. Guys my age disgust me too.
x
awh, it's fine,*hugs* are you better now?
I Know how you feel I've been sick too :) hehe
Yeah, i find it all fascinating :) I love alternative healing methods, and I find they work much better for me, too. I love finding different alternatives, too. My mum is so into reiki at the moment it's hilarious :)
Oh really? That's really interesting :)
haha yeah, that's very true :)
I've been not so good, having problems at school, illness and such, the usual.
how about you??
xx
Hey, sorry it took me so long to respond, end of term assignments = madness. Buuut I'm officially out for the holidays ^_^ no more boring work or school for two glorious months lol
That's wicked that you like working with kids...unfortunately I'm not too fond of children myself, they scare me (no joke!). However I do like observing them cuz I think they reflect everything that we are but suppress (impulsive, temper tantrums, being politically incorrect -- not on purpose, but because they don't know any better -- etc.). But when it comes to dealing with them directly they just freak the hell out of me. I'm not sure why lol.
I really do love how the story's going so far, I like that you're throwing in different perspectives, makes the story more insightful and multi-dimensional. And I absolutely *adore* the name Azami!! So pretty *^_^*
Yeah I figured that's what happened when you skipped over some parts in your writing, I'm the same way, I have to read over something a million times to make sure I'm not missing anything. You just gotta remember that the reader also wants to see the movie that you see in your head, so you gotta help them out with words words words and more words. If you ever need help proofreading or editing stuff to make sure it's understandable and to clear up spelling and grammar and stuff, I can totally help you out (if you want). Just say the word and I shall do my best to keep up :-)
Oh and also, I'm done the first half of my fic, I'm posting it tonight, and being a huge fan of your work and all, I would REEEAAAALLLLYYYY like to know what you think ^_^
I've been pretty okay, kinda drowning in an ocean of stress. i cannot wait for this term to be over, i'm going crazy with all the work i have to do lol how're things going for you?
i can't tell you how happy i am to see you're writing again ^_^ i checked out the updates on Not Your Everyday Razorblade Romance and the final chapter on Join Me In Death (LOVED it, btw :P) but i haven't read the rewritten Under the Rose, which i'm VERY interested to see how it turned out :-D so i shall read it when i get home cuz right now i'm at work and if my boss finds me on mibba instead of doing data inputting she'll go nuts (ugh i can't even believe i'm slaving away at this ridiculous job that i hate. what the hell's wrong with me...)
but i'll read it as soon as i get the chance and i promise to leave some constructive criticism ^_^
i'm also close to completing my ville fanfic, so i'll let you know when i put it up since i absolutely adore your stories and i'd love to know what you think of mine, since it's my first and all :)
Yeah, i got really into it just so i didn't have to take medication
I love Crystal healing :) even if it doesn't cure you, it makes you feel SO good!
if you don't want to, then don't because if they mess you up, they'll do you more harm than good *hugs*
hehe no problem :)
awh, thanks :) xx
Oh Dear *hugs*
I had a mini break down earlier this year, it wasn't pretty either :s
ahh i see
No, i can't stand tablets, i'm of the opinion that the only meds im taking ever again is neurofen, which i take almost daily anyway. i don't like doctors, hospitals or medicine. my dream of being a doctor when i was youger disappeared right there lol
x
it's good to hear that you're not letting it get to you...i'm here if you want someone to talk to =] But keep your head up and don't let anyone get to you =]
Haha thanks for saying you'll check out my story. If you like Vampires you'll probably like my story Kiss My Knife. Well depending on whether the writing is at least half decent that is.
