Oops....

Yah...... I've been meaning to write..... i swear..... but i've been busy.... and away.... yah. oops. :)
So anyways, i'm sad to say that i have written absolutely NOTHING xept for school work and a lobbying speech. Now, perhaps you are wondering why I wrote a lobbying speech. Well. Allow me to explain.
This past weekend, I went to something called the L'Taken Seminar, which is a 4 day seminar in Washington DC run by the Religious Action Center (the legal/lobbying division of the Reform Jewish Movement) for Reform Jewish teens from all over the US. Throughout the weekend, we attended classes on issues of social justice, saw presentations made by people who were homeless and a woman who was disabled, did a lobbying simulation, did a simulation of the Knesset (the Israeli governing body), went to the Holocaust museum, went to the Mall (I went to Air & Space and the National Gallery), walked around Georgetown, ate dinner and shopped at Pentegon Row, and, most importantly, wrote a speech and presented it (along with the 8 others of my delgation) to the senators and the congressman of my state. The entire experience was amazing, and a ton of fun. I enjoyed every it of it - except maybe the dramatic fire (dalse alarm - it was only a burst steam pipe) that lead to the evacuation of the entire hotel and lasted from 10:30pm to about 12:45am. Even that was fun, though: try about 200 (the other 100 were asleep) teens singing Buttercup at midnight. It's an experience lol.
That's all for now.... cyaz.

New York and Life As I Know It

Woot woot new york was so awesome. we had a ton of funfunfunfunfunfunfun. we saw West Side Story which was good (thought maybe not quite what i expected from broadway... idk, a little disappointing), we went to a rlly cool restaurant with excellent singing waiters, and they let us walk around time square for half an hour which was awesome. so yah. anyway.

i decided to have a little fun, so i have some pictures of characters from Life As I Know It:

that covers some of the characters.... i'll get you more another time :)

New York

Guess what? I'm going to New York tomorrow! haha yes!! The music department at our school is taking the students that take preforming courses (concert band, chorus, choral ensemble, jazz band) to see a Broadway show :D We are leaving in the morning, then when we get to new york we are going to have lunch, then we get a little bit of free time, then the entire troupe is going to walk to broadway and see West Side Story! It's going to be amazing!!!!
If you're lucky, I may even pick up some inspiration to write. ;) at the very least, I'll have something to post about next time. :D

Exams

ahhhhhh. ok. so you know that feeling, where your eyes are popping out of your head, your brain is melting out your ears, you nose is running like a hose pipe, your temples are pounding, your throat feels like there are knives being dragged up and down it, your joints feel like they belong to the tin man (before he was oiled) and your nauseous? That was the spectacular physical form in which I took two exams, geometry (honors) and physics. I can say that I passed those exams with about as much truthfulness as I can say that I am currently fit as a fiddle. woohoo.
being sick, i have written nothing, done nothing, tried to do nothing. i'm going to go continue to do nothing. ttfn.

Lalala lala

Not studying is being most productive in the way of my writing. For example... I'm here! lol. I'm mostly working on my new story, but for some reason the juices aren't really flowing today. The wording isn't coming out right. Darn.
Well I'm doing my best, and I guess I'm making some progress. Not enough for my liking, but some is better than none. I've also edited a chapter of Life As I Know It.
Wow. I thought I'd been productive, but looking back I realize that I haven't actually been productive in literary areas at all. but i did...... (drum roll please!)
HAVE MY FIRST DRIVING LESSON!!!!!!!! WOOHOOO!!!!! my dad took me out and let me drive, for the first time today. i'll be starting official drivers' ed in february :) tis my good news lol. gonna go on facebook now, cyaz!

eep. exams.

Doing my best to keep it going. Or maybe I'm just procrastinating studying for my physics exam, which I desperately need to do, but unfortunately I can't quite bring myself to do it because my brain hurts so much. I'm actually freaking out, because I need an A on this exam, and I don't think I'm going to get one..... so.... yah. bad.
I'm still working on writing my new idea, but it's going well. Soon I will be at a point where I will ask a few friends to read and review it for me. Then it will go on textnovel. :)
I'm gonna go work on it now. and not study...

It's the fourteenth. Epic fail. I am ashamed of myself. But I had homework, and practice, and exams are next week....and my excuses are lame....I give up.
So anywayz, i started this new story, which i'm pretty excited about. It doesn't have a title or anything, I just wrote a couple of pages. I'm considering entering it in the new textnovel contest, but I want to write a little bit and see where it goes before I actually put it on the site and stuff. But I think it's pretty cool, and it might be interesting, if i write it well, which, of course, i will try to do. I don't know how it's going to go yet though. It' pretty tough.
I haven't updated anything else at all, so nothing to report on that front.
If any of you are at all interested in my personal life (or lack thereof) i'm headed to New York to see West Side Story on broadway on the 23rd and I'm going to D.C. on the 29th, so I'm really looking forward to the end of January. :D
Ooooh and also I though of this thing that I want to try, but first I need a little help. So, I get the dicctionary.com word of the day email, and i was thinking, i should start a story, and i'll post a little every day, and it'll be a plot totally driven by the word of the day; so like, i'd have to use the word in the story that day. but first i need a premise for like, the first chapter. i figure i can go from there, but i need a character to start off with! :)

Working On It

It's been four days; i know, i know. Sorry. again. I'm trying, really I am. Trying.
Well, tomorrow it's back to school. Lucky me. Unfortunately, this means blogging opportunities are going to be a bit thin on the ground. Plus, I'm not going to be able to do much writing. At all. Of course I will do my best... I can't be disappointing all of you, now can I? No promises though. AP Chemistry is taking up 70% of my time, track is taking up 20%, and school, debate, dance, and robotics are taking up the other 10%. It doesn't leave anything left over for textnovel time. :\
So, I guess I really have nothing to say right now. Maybe I'll go work on some other stuff...
