Yea, I went to the website. I think I'm gonna end up getting my mom a book too. I just don't know if I can get it to you by Christmas. I don't even know if I can get back to Havelock this month! I swear, this time of year is totally chaotic. And I'm totally gonna flunk my Spanish final, so my parents won't be too happy with me. There were words in the review today that I've never seen before in my life, English *or* Spanish. How the heck am I supposed to know that???? *deep breath* I've got like a steady B in the class so I won't fail, especially beings the first two six weeks averages were As. It won't be *too* bad. I hope. *nervous gulp*
Are any exams scaring the snot outta you?

Dude, I have *friends* here. The little clique that I have going in Spanish--the type of group I expect from experience to disentigrate when the class is over--I think might actually last. Two of the people were both bummed at the thought of never talking as a crew again. How cool is that? If nobody else does, I'll actually take some initiative and gather phone numbers. With luck, we won't fall apart. God, I hate my lack of people skills. I really don't want to lose these guys.

I'll give you a call tonight or tomorrow. Lata, chica! (Ha! There's one word I remember!)

WOW. That sounds so cool! Holy cow, I'm gonna have to look into that one of these days. Eragon, huh? Not as cool as Aragon, but worth a shot. ;) And a 15-year-old wrote it? The whole thing about life-like characters and not using too much detail sounds
awesome--hope I don't have that problem. Dang, this guy's my idol. lol

I'll check out that site later. I think I'm gonna finish my work for the semester today. Yea!

Oh my gosh, that sounds totally awesome! My grandma wants to be my publicist too, man. I just don't really want to be famous; I want my characters to be, but not me, if that makes any sense. I finally started writing last night. Almost a half a page. Not a lot, but it's a start. (34 down, about 120 to go)
I'm gonna try to make it a bit more intense than the others--more foreshadowing and death and anger and all that. Man, I'm gonna make myself cry more than once, I *know* it. *sigh* I got passed killing off two main characters already. I can do this. And you do know there's going to have to be a remarkably cheesy pre-battle speech from one of the kings, right? lol. I love the Independence Day president's speech, no matter how cheesy it is!!

Christmas is a sucky time to get into mangas cuz I have no money. And my brilliant self never thought to ask for one for Christmas. I'll check out one of the ones you keep talking about ASAIC.

Alrighty, hang in there these last couple days, chica. We're almost done!!

Hey chica.

Sounds like school's going well. Nazi. lol. What the heck have you guys been up to?

I hooked up with a couple people from Spanish to study for the final. Like we got anything done. It was so much fun though: we got hyper on chocolate chip cookies and had a marker/anything-else-we-could-throw fight. My gosh, it was funny. Tish's dog hit on Richard, man, *that* was hilarious cuz she had told us beforehand that the dog was gay. Anyways, yea, never a dull moment. lol. (Let's just hope none of us flunk. A *really* smart guy in my VHS class told me he pulled like a D on the final. *nervous laugh* Thanks for the morale boost, man.

Glad you're still in love with those mangas of yours. I'll see if I can actually get any writing of my own done today. Been watching alotta TV at night lately--you know, hanging with the grandparents and watching the news and Jeopardy (Which me and my dad totally suck at; it's hilarious cuz half the time we don't know what they're *asking* for. I think Alexi's a prodigy; she answerered "Lithium" to a question and got it right. I don't even know what Lithium is! Dang this is a long parenthetical comment. Cool.)

Well, finals first four days of next week and I'm done. *exhale* Bring on Christmas break.

Lata!

Hey V, don't worry about it, you've got a life. It's kind of a cool thought (Beware, I'm getting philosphical! Run for your life!). I mean, who defines whether or not a life is worth living? You've got goals and dreams for the future, and friends and love and God and school and Gomdodi (probably misspelled that)and Mangas in the present. Dunno about you, but that sounds like a pretty good life to me. Don't sell yourself short, chik. Just be careful not to so get caught up in routine that you forget that it *is* your life. Everybody gets bored, it doesn't matter what you do. It's just that the luckier people are able to find the good as well, and it makes everything else a little easier to live with.

And actually that line of thought put me in a really good mood, so that's pretty cool. Here's an example, hehehe: I talked to Corban last night, and that dipstick went outside. (I swear, it was like 30 degrees, the moron.) Anyways, I told him I would kick his butt if he got himself sick, but he was like, "No you won't." I was just about to reply with an "Oh yea?" comment, when he added, "Cuz I'm a *black belt*." He was joking around, and sounded like a five-year-old trying to sound tough. Holy cow, I was cracking up.

I miss y'all terribly, but whenever somebody says something like that, it reminds me of why I love you knuckleheads so much in the first place and lets me know that everything's going to be okay.

(God I love Christmas! No other time would it be this easy to be this corny. I saw a Salvation Army commercial last night and scared the snott out of my dad with my total chikness. Hehehe.)

Take care, chica!

Hey chik.

The dead manuscript is a fantasy one, but no elves or dwarves. The main character, named Leander, is the first-born son of the demon king, but his human mom hid him so his younger brother Simbias wouldn't kill him. He's got a major attitude problem (think Inuyasha, cuz he's also got the whole part-animal demon thing going on; he's a lion), but ends up having to protect this woman from the prince Simbias(not the king yet, because he's still alive) but Leander doesn't know that he's his brother. The woman turns out to be his mother, but she's hiding from Simbias because she's got this power to travel dimensions (planes) and she doesn't want him to use her. There are a couple sub-plots going as well, but that's the core of the story.

I just can't focus right now, even though writing a synopsis and thinking about my stories is easy. I'm too into wanting to read--I guess I'm just getting lazy. Nicholias Sparks writes realistic fiction. They're pretty sad books that make you go "aww" when you get to the end. I love em! Just a warning: they're total chik novels, man. Very corny, which is very cool for me.

Feeling pretty good right now. How about you?
Loneliness is there obviously, but kinda in the background right now, which is pretty cool.

I'll call you when I can--it's just nuts right now with the sibs and grandparents. I have a party with the 5th graders today, and was invited to a play tomorrow. I'll make time somewhere in there.

Lata!

Hey. I commented on yours, V, but I'll start talking here too I guess.

This whole emotional rollercoaster thing is driving me absolutely insane. I feel fine now, just a little cut off, but fine. School's good for me in that aspect--I've got friends to joke with to take my mind off how much I miss you guys. It's when I get home that things get scary. *sigh* Oh well, my grandparents being here for who-knows-how-long should fix that. Lol, my parents think I should con them into giving me their car, but I just don't see myself doing it. This is my Mama and Papa for crying outloud!

Well, I was rocking out to Christmas carols last night with Alexi, so life is good right now. I *am* looking forward to Christmas, though I've lost a little from last year. Oh well, I can't expect everything to be exactly the same, I suppose. I'm just glad I'm not weepy anymore.

Worked a little on a dead manuscript last night. I like the plot and love the characters, but just can't focus. Mayby after CS I'll turn to it for something to do. Who knows? For the time being I'm into Nicholas Sparks. We'll see about writing when I can focus again. I'm afraid I'm in a lull, chica. When I get over it I'll have a decent pace going, but I just can't do it.

Well, that's about it for now. Take care!

Hey girl, if you get time in class to come here.

Do you have a free day next weekend? I was gonna see if I could get you and Sarah and Colleen to come and and hang out for a day or so. I miss you guys so much and I am so frickin lonely. It's the holiday season and I can't stop being gloomy! *sigh* I'm not even excited about my grandparents coming on Wednesday--as in, two days from now. My being alone for so long is making me go numb, and it's scaring the snot outta me. I have no desire to write anymore, I'm not excited about Christmas, I'm not particularly corny about the whole holiday scene, I actually like being in school because I don't have to think here, and I'm still homesick (I still feel like I don't belong here). *sigh* I'm afraid I'm falling apart here and I just don't know what I can do to stop it.

Well now that that's off my chest, I really have nothing else to say. Nothing else seems important right now. God, this sucks.

Hey, girl. If you're reading this, you'd better not have a teacher over your shoulder. Don't you get caught, now.

Man, I have a B in Spanish right now. My dad's gonna have a cow, but it shouldn't be too bad cuz I can usually talk him down with the whole "I still have time, and it's still a good grade" speech. Okay, maybe he won't have a *cow*, but it just sounds more dramatic. He'll just tease me for having a slippage and act mad, but I won't hear about it later. Am I babbling? Yes, I'm babbling.
Sorry, I'm just in an unexplainable good mood today. I realized yestderday (Sunday, for whenever you read this) that this place isn't really as bad as I thought it was. I mean, I still miss a select handful of people like crazy (yeself among them, lass) but it's really not that bad here.

I wrote the prologue for Crimson Sunrise (3 of 3, baby! I'm almost there!) last night. I'm thinking I'll totally throw the reader off from the very beginning. *dramatic voice* Nothing is what it seems. Dundundun.

I saw this totally stupid movie in Spanish today. It was before the birth of Christ, and the shepherds were Spanish (it took me the longest time and a few weirded-out stares from a friend to figure out that they were in Israel and not Mexico; the whole plot is screwy, man) and there were demons with Harleys running around. There was an angel vs. demon sword fight, but it was the worst choreography I've ever seen in my entire life. Holy cow, myself and a couple friends were cracking up the whole time. It was SO stupid!!

Alrighty, you have a happy turkey-day (if I don't get to say so again before then) and take care, chika.

Lata!
