   Crazy week.....
So far this week has been intense. I'm trying to finally pull my act together with my schoolwork. In chorus (yes I'm a geek and I'm in the chorus) we’re only two weeks away from the concert. We went into the auditorium to practice, and you could FEEL the focus in the room. After we did all the songs I was actually physically tired. We sounded sooo good though. The best since I've been just a freshman. I can't wait for the music festival in May. We are gonna bring home the gold this year for SURE. Also, due to yet another writing assignment from my crazy AP US History teacher I have found my true calling in life. You see, we had to do a book review, not a book report, an actual review in the style of the New York Times book review section. It was an intense assignment, mostly since I forgot about it and had to read catch-22 in one night. But it got me thinking. How amazing would it be to get paid to read! I love books so much I go to Barnes and Noble anonymous meetings. I need to be a journalist. Seriously. Or maybe an editor. They make good money. Weeee. Also, I nearly lost my mind because I couldn't find page 1 of a short story I wrote. I started singing (growling) this song by an Indy band that was big in my area for awhile. It goes a little something like this. *ahem*...”The bunnies are stealing my papers! NO BUNNIES, THOSE ARE MYYYYYYYY PAPERS!!" Shows you how much I care about my writing.

What else? Oh yes. I'm working on my D&D campaign. I'm chronicling the adventures of my PCs in a notebook and someday I will make a story out it. I don't need to worry about copywriter infringement because I'm using my own campaign setting and adventures. I'm so sure wizards of the cost has copywriters on werewolves forever and throughout the universe. Speaking of copyright, my friend is undertaking a huge project. She is compiling all the data from every D&D book ever (3.5 of course) into a web site. It will have all the feats, skills, class descriptions, monsters and spells (I'm helping with monsters). Every time a spell or skill is mentioned, it will be a hyperlink to its own section. Par example, if it says that the prerequisite for the prestige class is Bluff+5, Bluff will be a hyperlink to the Bluff entry in the skills section. She's never going to publish the website because she doesn’t own the rights, but she plans to distribute free copies to her friends.
