   blah post
We got our quota for number of posts in English. I'm behind and they're due next week. So, like before this is mostly a space waster.

I've got a big Algebra test to take in a couple hours. We got out early of English and I was just 'Alright, I can study and get a passing grade' but that's not the case.

I don't know what it is, but the more I study the more I seem to get wrong when it comes to the test. It should be the opposite. I'll study anyway just so I can say I did.

My prof. actually feels sorry for me. She gave me extra points on our last quiz because my score was so low. All math is just so bad for me.

I get it, I really do, I just can't do tests in math. I do all the problems right in class, but then get the exact same problems wrong on the tests.

I can do math like nothing in the class though. I barely turn the calculator on. Too bad it doesn't matter. It's just so annoying. I'll probably be annoyed the rest of the day.

Well, I've been doing more typing on Mirror Image lately. I can't type for very long on it like I used to, but it's still going along. I've got that one on my old typing computer and the keyboard is murder on my shotty arm now that I'm used to this laptop one.

I type all my stories up on the typing one so that the original copy is in that computer. since that one has only Word, it doesn't get viruses so my stuff won't get deleted. That happened in the early days of Mirror Image. The first two parts of the story came out to twenty four and twenty six chapters. Those are gone.

I'm probably not going to do anything with Mirror Image, and if I do it would be turning it into a screenplay, so I'd have to re-write it all anyway. I still remember it so it's not a big deal.

I'm at the right place when I talk about attachment to stories and characters. The only differance between me and a great number of you is that you guys can draw out your characters so others can enjoy them. I fail so miserbly there.

I can draw Zemes, but that's only because I came up with them. If I mess up I just say it's because it's a Zeme. The only Zeme I admitted to messing up was parahuman's Nicolaia. Zeme coloring is bases of dogs and she's not a traditional black and tan. Oh well, it doesn't matter.

I think the reson I started working on Mirror Image again is because the time finally matches up again. I started getting into fall and winter when it was still hot outside. It sort of threw me off. I could run around outside barefoot but they couldn't type of deal.

Of course, this has slowed down a lot since it ended in June. Most of what I'm working on is solely for me...and because I'm bored. I'm glad it's over because it's so east coast and I don't live there anymore. It doesn't feel right typing about the east and Philly when I can't go out and see my inspired surroundings.

That'll bring us to Epic. I can't call to do any real work on it until Saturday. I hate having completely opposite scheduals. The best situation would be if I was over there, but that can't work since I'm not there. I wish I had Fridays free, it could work then.

So, since we don't work on writing the actual episodes until the weekend, I've been doing back junk. You've got to know everything if you're a creator, that's just logic. Even if it doesn't involve the story, you've got to know it. You can't have complete characters or settings if those don't come from anywhere.

I've been working on Zephyr noble families. I should lay off Zephyr and start working on Byely or something, or even a character, but I just haven't quite finished with it yet.

I've gotten the von Bavol, the delgi Ruv, the du Drake, and the del Ignis done. I'm slowly working on the au Rue, so I've got two and a half to do. It takes six hours to do one family, and that's just an overal summary. I don't need any real details except for the von Bavol.

Yep, it's a lot of work. No one said this was going to be easy and starting is the hardest. This semester is almost over and it'll be a little better after that. Working around the scheduals is the toughest for us. We get one day that we actually do work. Mondays and Sundays are open but harder. Mondays I've got one class so we get interrupted by that. Sundays they go to church and I watch football, and we're all exhausted from staying up all Saturday. So, Saturdays are our only real work day.

In non-related news, Christmas is coming. Is anyone going to do anything cool? Expecting anything?

I'm going to Florida (again) to spend it with my dad's sister, mom, brother, niece, and nephew. His dad and step-mom live only a few miles away so it's not going to be fun. It's never been fun though, so that's okay. Well, I guess I should say that's usual. It'll be worse then ever this year. My uncle's a loser and the rest of the family are getting fed up with him. I told them to sever ties years ago, but I didn't have much pull back then so of course they didn't listen. I was only like ten or eleven when I said it. We're a strange disfunctional family. I think I'll ask for vicodin for Christmas. That'll be the only thing to curb the headache I'll have from "family time".
