Life & Summer II

It's only been summer for a few days, and already I feel like I'm bored. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, because really, I've been waiting for these 2 months during the whole school year. It's just that... without school, I haven't got any people to see, or any places to go, or... anything to do.

Seriously. I've watched 4 movies in the past 2 days. Those include The Notebook, Aladdin, The Little Mermaid and Annie. Yeah, talk about a blast from the past.

In addition, I've still been waiting for that text from my ex that's probably never going to come. Yeah, he never was one for keeping promises or having feelings for that matter. I feel bad for saying that, because I'm the one that keeps talking to him in desperation, but it's true. I wish moving on was easy. I wish I was one of those girls that could just say 'fuck it' and move on. I thought I was, but unfortunately, I'm not. And now I find myself wishing that I could spend the summer with him. Just him and I and the summer. 

Sigh...

Sometimes I read over all these posts and just discover how much I've changed in so little time. I guess that's what it means to grow up. I never thought it would happen so fast. I mean, I'm still young, but I feel old. I feel like I've seen everything there is to see sometimes.

Nah, that isn't true. I know there's a lot I don't know and a lot of things to see. I just wish I could see them now! Maybe I should have taken advantage of those class trips, so I could go see the world instead of staying in the confines of this little town.

Oh, well.

Life & Summer

Okay, I know I say this all the time but this time it's actually true. Don't get mad, but I've kind of been forgetting to write here.

Anyway, it's finally summer!!! (It actually has been for a couple of days now, but that's besides the point) I'm not exactly 'happy' with how all of my marks turned out, but I figure there's always next year.

Yesterday, I went to a huge party for my class. I'm actually kind of tired right now because I stayed up until 5:00A.M. at that party. Yes, I know, not like me at all, right?

Everyone else was in bed and I was still up with 4 other people, just sitting around the campfire talking. 

Good times, good times.

So here I am today, writing away on this old computer that HATES me. I'm happy though, we went to West Edmonton Mall and I picked up a scrapbook for my best friend, that I'll be making throughout the summer, as well as some new clothes! :) 

So far, it's been an eventful summer. I mean, it's only Friday, and we have our last exam on Tuesday, so really it's not that 'eventful,' per-say, given that it hasn't even been summer for very long.

Ah, well.

I've already done a few things on my bucket list :) I'll do an updated progress report on that probably sometime in July.

And, for those who were wondering, my novel is coming along! I haven't worked on it as much lately as I would like to, BUT I will be working on it throughout the summer. So far it's about an hour to read, which I'm actually quite proud of.

Andddddd I should probably get my license. 

**Side Note** Am I the only one who can't STAND when people spell words incorrectly or make stupid errors? I mean, even on the internet, man. Bitches be like "Your the best." And in my head I'm thinking, You're. You're the best. You are. Not your. You're. 

I can't be the only one.

Or even when people mix up the words 'then' and 'than.' I mean, really, people? How hard is it to learn the difference? I actually saw a funny post the other day that said, "I'd rather have my son be gay then a serial killer." (No, it wasn't a joke.) And that, people, is why you need to learn the difference.

I was actually thinking maybe I should just chill today. Watch the notebook, clean my room, have a jolly good time.

I'll be back soon to write more. :) 

Life & Being A Writer

People always ask me, "What is it like to be a writer?"
Aweh, who am I kidding. No one ever asks that.

Mostly because people don't know I'm a writer. I've only told a couple of select people, because, well, mostly because I don't want people scavenging the internet and finding everything I've ever written. That would be a tad bit embarrassing, wouldn't you say?
[Haha, of course you wouldn't say. You guys never SAY anything.]

But anyways, the point of this post wasn't to rant on about how no one knows me [although no one really does, people assume I'm transparent but I'm really opaque.] No, the point of this was to write about what it's like to be a writer.

And really, it's no different from not being a writer, I'd assume. I don't really know, I've been a writer for as long as I can remember, but  can't really think of anything that would be different.

I saw this online, and I'm going to copy & paste it here:

You know you're a writer when...

-All of your friends are out at parties and you are in your room, writing alone. (I can't say this one applies to me. I'm pretty outgoing, so I'd definitely be at the party.)
-You've honed the skill of procrastination. (Definitely. I should be studying for my exams right now. Instead, I'm blogging.)
-CTR+Z is your best friend. (Yes, yes and yes. Also the backspace.)
-Writer's block is the most tragic thing to ever occur in your life. (100% agree.)
-You always make sure to use proper grammar, even in text messages. (Another one that is definitely accurate. I go as far as preaching to the people of the internet about their incorrect us of the word "then"
-You narrate in your head as you go about doing your every day things. (Doesn't completely apply, but I do like to observe real life people & their mannerisms. People definitely find that creepy, but I think it's a way of life for me.)

35 Summer Bucket List Ideas

My best friend and I just spontaneously came up with the idea to create a bucket list. We tried to think of things that don't involve a lot of money or travelling.
We decided that we are going to take AT LEAST ONE PICTURE for EVERY BUCKET LIST ITEM. Then we are going to create summer scrapbooks for each other using those photos.

Here's 35 ideas that don't involve a lot of money or anything too risky.

Life & Busy-ness

Before you correct my spelling, I just wanted to let you know that this post is not about business. 
It's about busy-ness.
As in, I'm always busy.
As in, I'm too busy.
As in, I'm really sorry I haven't had time to post.

No, but really guys, I'm been studying for exams and I've been trying to promote my new group on figment and I've been doing this and that here and there and I just haven't had a whole lot of time to blog. The point is I'm really really sorry. If anyone regularly read this blog then my sorry goes to YOU.
And thanks for taking the time to read these, no matter how inconsistent I am with these posts.

Anyway, I'm beginning to feel like I really have my life sorted out lately. I'm still trying to maintain my 4.0 GPA, and I think I'm going to pursue a career in Law.
Yess!
As in, exactly what I've always wanted.

But I'll post more about that later when I'm not so busy busy busy!

Life & Taylor Swift

Sometimes, all a girl needs is to listen to some good old fashioned songs about relationships. And yes, by that I mean Taylor Swift.
It's one of those days again, one of those days where I start thinking about my ex-boyfriend because I'm listening to Taylor Swift whine about how she wishes she could turn back time. I guess the reason I like Taylor Swift is because I can relate to how she feels. I love how she can just take a relationship and put it in a song. Most people probably wouldn't think that I would ever consider listening to Taylor Swift, but they don't know me as well as they think they do.

Ed Sheeran, as well, is one of those people. He can take a relationship and just mash it into 3 minutes of perfection. With poetic lines. And the voice of an angel.

I don't actually have a lot to write about today, I just wanted to write. I want to get more into the habit of writing here so that I can have more than just a few posts for each month. My goal is to get it to at least 15 posts in a month. That's every other day.

I want to make a summer bucket list! I just got the inspiration because I thought of last year's bucket list. Beautiful. Perhaps I'll start making one right now. :)

Life & How I Met Your Mother II

"Hi, have you met Ted?"

"This is going to be legend- wait for it - dary!"

 

"When I get sad, I stop being sad and be awesome instead. True story."

"There are only two reasons to date a girl you've already dated. Breast. Implants."

"Suit up!"

Okay, but seriously, I know I already posted one of these How I Met Your Mother posts and you are all probably thinking I'm an obsessed fan but I'm just so excited for the next season of How I Met Your Mother. I saw the mother, I saw her, and Marshall and Lily are fighting because Lily wants to go away for her job but Marshall just got hired as a judge and he takes it so they're going to have to stay, because they're so in love and they can't live without each other and Ted has had Robin's necklace the whole time I mean who saw that coming right and ugh I'm just so excited and the mother was there with the yellow umbrella and Barney and Robin are going to get married and live happily ever after because they're perfect for each other and Ted and the mother will be so perfect for each other too.... 

But seriously. 

Watch it. All 8 seasons. 

Life & Basketball & Exams & Stress & Having No Friends & Ex-Boyfriends

Wow! From that title most of you can probably already tell that I am feeling just a little bit overloaded. Exams are coming up in approximately 2 weeks. (Yeah, I have 2 weeks until my first exam and I haven't even STARTED studying. Ouch!)

I kind of just keep putting all of that stuff off because really - who wants to spend hours studying? Plus I wanted to work on my novel. Not that that's priority, but it's a little more interesting than studying for a few hours. There's also basketball tonight so I'm going to go to that rather than waste my time studying stuff that I probably won't even remember.

The whole thing with having no friends is a little bit of an exaggeration. I have friends, just not ones that I really connect to. I have a couple of friends that I definitely connect with, but no one that I can fully tell everything too. 

No one.

I have been talking to my ex-boyfriend lately and he told me that he would text me at the end of the month (after he's done his 2-month course and actually has some free time)

Not the best, but at least it's something...

I told him that if he wanted me to stop pursuing this (whatever THIS is) then he should just tell me, and he didn't. So that's got to be some sort of sign that either he's thought about us being together again or he doesn't mind the idea of us being friends.

Or... he just likes the attention.

I don't really know. 

Life & My Novel

I haven't written here for a while for a few reasons:

a) I've been feeling a little under the weather for the past couple days.

b) I always forget to write here!

c) My computer has slowed down a lot and I find myself using it less and less.

Now I know that those aren't excuses, but they're what I have for now. Today, for the first time in months I started working on my novel again, after being complimented on my writing by someone who had read it on Figment. It made me unbelievably happen that someone would read my novel-in-progress without even being prompted or promised anything in return. So I decided to give the first chapter a look over, change a few things and as of now my first chapter is standing at about 2800 words. Accomplishment? I think so.

Anyways, I really would like inspiration to keep working on it. I noticed today that I have over 200 page views, and yet still no one bothers to leave a comment. I would love a comment here and there just to remind me that I'm not just writing this for me. (Although that was the purpose of starting the blog, I still would like to know that I'm not alone!)
