differences

I wonder why that people think reading is so weird. Or that being a girl, as I am, I shouldn't game as much as I do, nor should I play the games that I do. Or the fact that I spend less than 3 minutes on my hair every morning and only a bit of time on make-up. that when people say mean things I'm supposed to react and hate that person. It is just so confusing, I will never get people. NEVER.

I'm actually surprised by how many people will say they admire sports people or aspire to be just like an actress whos body is only about 30% her own, and little awkward me, sitting in that corner of there says people like "christopher paolini, he wrote the first draft of eragon when he was 15" or "John Green. DFTBA!" and other such people. I just don't understand why you would luck up to people who get paid to be someone else or get paid to play a sport, which is supposed to be recreational.

Nor do I understand why people take such an aversion to reading books! One period in the morning for reading, no work and all anyone can do is complain? I mean. Really?
I also dislike that at such a time when someone makes any sort of reference to reading there is at the very least one snide comment directed at me, me as myself who has never spoken to said person before because quite frankly, they're usually horrible. I just don't see how "reading" "books" "writing" becomes a direct word that means "that nerd over there" I find it unfair, because... I just do.

Gosh it's been a long time!

My laptop has been currently removed from my possession as my test results were not satisfactory to my mother, she is however unaware that my iPod has the internet and I don't plan on telling her.

Curled up on the sofa watching Tarzan and decided it was necessary to tell you a few things:
1. I used to have a social life, but then I took an arrow to the knee
2. The cake is a lie
3. I'm doing the fish stick it's a delicate state of mind
4. I am sherlocked
5. Moriarty is real
6. I believe in Sherlock Holmes
7. I lost the game
8. Watsons warriors
9. Camp nanowrimo this summer.

That is all

lil rant... don't read I'll probably offend you too....

You know how sometimes your having a conversation with someone, and you don't know what the wrong thing to say is? And you say it and at first the person doesn't react, but tries to talk you out of said opinion, so you steam off on a little tirade about why it actually is true and suddenly they for seemingly no reason explode? -sigh- neither did I, until like ten minutes ago.
I mean I do dislike my grandmother, for family reasons that I'm not going to disclose here, how was I supposed to know that she was going to get all defensive and take it as an attack on her recently deceased grandmother and herself? I didn't know that by the way, and I feel so terrible about it, I really didn't know... She took it as if I was flaunting the fact that I had a grandmother and was abusing her and she didn;t have one, which is so untrue, I wasn't even trying to, I didn't even mention her or her grandmother I mentioned purely some personal situations within my own family... And she called me insensitive, which I suppose I am, and I would be if I had known! If I had I would have shut my mouth and not said anything... I am such a terrible person, I am an insensitive b*tch... dear god, why do so many people still talk to me... I can now think of hundreds of times I've done this... and I realised, I am a horrible person....
I'm going to crawl in a hole now.... and think up of ways to apologise

almost christmas

Why must all the good books come out at the same time?? I can't afford to get this many for christmas....
-sighing-
So.. I read stolen, by some author... I don't know who wrote it, I think it was a christopher, but it was amazing! Maybe a little old for some people... its about a kidnapping, and this man whos kind of been following this girl since she was 4-5, and then whenever shes about 13 or so decides he needs to save her from the city and kidnaps her, taking her to Australia, I won't give out anymore info, but it is amazing! It has a wonderful writing style! Really good, I would reccomend it, there's nothing much bad in it, except obbiously the topic, and some foul language and mentions of drugs and alcohol, but unlike I was worried about there is no rape in it (thank goodness....)

List of books I want for christmas, I hope to get at least the top three:
Inheritence by Christopher paolini, hands up if you lovvve this series?
Crossed by Allie Condie
Darke by Angie Sage, if you haven't read the septimus heap books do, NOW, go get!
City of bones (read but I'd like to own it, they are amazing books!)
A monster calls
Flying blind
Runelight

it's official, I have no life

Skulduggery pleasant, from the cover of book 3, I will put a valkyrie in that big blank space at some point.... but as you can see from my vigorous shading, I will not be painting it, goodness I hate paints.

Who doesn't love the nightmare before christmas? Even if Sally is just a little tooo blue... I'm gonna do emily from the corpse bride soon as well, I love Tim Burton.

 I've spent the last 2 days drawing these, and then planning for NaNo, I'm so excited, but at the same time dreading it just a bit. I finished death bringer and it was AWESOME!! I just want to read the next one but I can't!! Grrr.... must subdue inner fan-girl by writing fan-fiction, to prove the point of having no life further.....

Have you ever noticed that drawings/paintings photograph better than they actually look?

NANOWRIMO

NANOWRIMO starts in less than a month, is anyone else planning on doing it this year? I've done it for the past 4 years... well 3 and a half I came in during the middle of november in my first year... (technically counts as four) I've only one twice... last in 2009 when I was 1000 words of the target :( and the first year were when I lost. all of which have gone to waste since I had to make a new account this year!!
  I guess I'm gonna have to start preparing ideas for it but I just wanted to know if anyone was doing it? I love it, even though I almost died last year.. the secret my friends is cafeine lots and lots of cafeine.

For those of you who don't know what NANOWRIMO is, then I am ashamed of you, not really, it stands for NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH, and you write a 50'000 word novel in one month or else you don't win, and you don't worry about editing (which is great) you just write and write, and the NANOWRIMO team send you pep talks in your e-mail during the month, because at one point or another you will want to bail out of the project. Novembers the month just in case you didn't know....

Books books books, so little time!

Don't you hate it when school work clashes with what you really want to do? maybe your not in school... but I will tell you its really very very annoying.
 I have chemistry and maths that I don't want to do, but I have to, and I've got a pile of 6 books on my bedside table, all of which I'm anticipating in delight but I have no bloody time to get around to them!! I've been trying to read "Hunger" for the past week now and have hardly managed to read a word, I do not enjoy it, not one little bit,... I might have to start replacing sleeping time with reading time and put sleeping time somewhere else... or no where, depending on whether my insomnia comes back and i have a sinking suspicion that it plans on doing so sometime soon....
