Olympics/ Avoiding work

Avoiding completing my Literacy Narrative Rewrite…. So … the closing ceremony is tonight for the Olympics…. *tear* I’m gonna miss yelling at the TV about how the judges were wrong and how good America is. Hahahaha. My mum and I had what she calls “Olympic Fever”. When I was home we were so intense about it and watching it was quite loud. Even when I was watching it with my friends on campus. Haha. So mainly I’m going to miss cheering on my favorite athletes. I’d posted earlier about Apolo Anton Ohno… *sigh* he’s such a fantastic athlete and he’s such a good sport. Like when he was disqualified in the 500m (which btw he did nothing wrong) he was chill in the interview right after he said he thought it was unfair but he didn’t get all angry about it.
I would have been blowing off steam about how the judge was bias and what not. But Apolo was just classy about it. And tonight I was watching him talk about it and he was still classy about it and didn’t bitch when he has every right to. Plus when I follow him on facbook and a status of his yesterday was “Wow!!! 8!!!!! And to share it with the team makes it even more special! Yesss!! What an epic journey!!” That’s just so cool that he’s happy with everything he got at this game. We need more athletes like Apolo. And Shaun White. Can you say amazing! He’s got mad skills at snowboarding! Like seriously! And he’s only 23 that’s my brother’s age!
And he’s got his own clothing line and I’m also blown away by him cause he’s just so happy with everything that he’s won. Like when he had the half pipe finals he could have just gone right down that middle and still won but he went ahead and did his double McTwist (which was beyond epic)! So ya… just my rant on how awesome we did this year at the Olympics!




I suppose I’ve gotta finish my narrative now….

Excerptness

In honor of my fantastic editing so far I thought I’d share a wee bit from the beginning…. So here it is!!







When Neal started coming to he was bobbing up and down with the motion of a horse. But apparently he was not the only one on the horse for there was an arm around him and he could see the other one on the reigns. To add to it his head was on the persons shoulder. Neal sat upright and would have fallen off if the person’s thin muscular arm had not held him in place. Neal turned to find himself looking into light blue eyes. “I was wondering when the mud boy would wake up.” Said a girl’s voice. Neal’s eyes took in the whole of the face.


“Jamie I knew you’d fallow me!” said Neal throwing his arm around her without falling.


“We were waiting only a few human strides down the road when we saw the highway men. So we waited for the opportune moment then struck. They were taken aback so they were easily taken. Then we picked you up and we went on.”


“We, what is this we stuff. Who is with you?” Neal said.


“Tantin also known as Mr. Billy Bones.” Jamie said airily. This time Neal really fell out of the saddle.


“Ow.” He yelped as he hit the dusty road. Jamie pulled her horse, Heir, to a stop. Another two horses trotted to the other side of Neal, he sat up. When he looked up he had to shield his eyes from the sun. “Oh no! By Zantor! I’m gonna kill you Jamie I’m gonna kill you both.”


“By Billy!” Billy reached down to help Neal up but Neal fell back onto the ground and would have started hitting his head on the ground but pain shot through his spine and he sat bolt upright. “Come on. Up. Up!” Said Billy’s annoying voice.


“No I’ll die here thank you.” Neal crossed is arms like an angry child.


“Get your sorry ass up.” said Jamie clearly annoyed. She dismounted her golden chestnut gelding, walked other to Neal yanked him off the ground, picked him up and put him in the saddle of Jam. “Now we are all going to the Snowy Waste. Whether you sissies like it or not.”


“Now see here old chap” Billy started, but changed his mind after a glare from Jamie “Chappette?” He looked back at Jamie but just received a roll of her eyes. “I Sir Tantin Exyel am not a sissy! Just because I ran and hid in the bushes and screamed like a little five Elson old girl when you chopped that one’s head off does not mean that I’m a sissy.”

Behold My Outline!

Remember how I said that I was going to post my outline on my wall. Hahaha ya I spent my weekend on that. It looks pretty spiffy… don’t you think?


And it’s totally helping me although it’s still going to be tough for me to decide what I’m using as the final and what’s combining. Because right now I have about six way that I can write out the second series. So… ya. But I’m finally getting back to editing. I just took out a scene and started adding that information other places in the book cause it was took history booky in the old scene. Yup yup. And writing my fanfic is still helping me. I’ve been writing out a couple scenes for various spots in The Cycle. And I’m playing around with a few names so it may no longer be The Cycle of Zantor… but I’ll keep you up date.

Lazy Much?

Hey ya! So for some reason I’ve been feeling realllllllllly lazy lately… haven’t done much editing or anything writing in general. My literacy narrative kinda killed my buzz cause I ended up hating it and I don’t know why I care about this assignment so much… ugh. And today I went on n epic quest for a working washing machine to do long overdue laundry. Cause butt heads in my dorm broke all our machines. Grr. So Liscet and I first went to the new freshman dorms but all the machines were being used so we went to the new upper classman dorm. I’m totally in love with that laundry room. I sat and read while my stuff was in. it was amazing. But anyway what I have been doing other then laundry to convince myself I’m busy and can’t edit is reading manga. Haha. Should be doing homework… but no. between yesterday and today I read all 33 chapter of Dance In The Vampire Bund. Very good manga so far. Can’t wait for the next chapter. So ya I know major loser.

Plus I also haven’t edited cause I’m reworking the second/third series or something like that and it keeps changing and I need to hammer that our before I finish up edits so I know what I have to add in or take out. But I just came up with an idea… I’m going to write it all out on post its and put all over my dorm wall to arrange it out nicely. Whoot! Hope my roommate won’t mind… granted it will be on my side of the room so not much she can say… but it will be a looker. Haha.

Texts From Last Night

Okay so I tots def love the sight Texts From Last Night. Mainly because it’s so funny but also because I can see some of my friends sending them. Hich is why it’s always fun to look up to look up the 908 area code cause it’s like I could know the person sending the text. Haha anyhow here are some that I think are way funny… and PG rated



(858): I don't know what you're doing, but there's a dragon on my street.
-------
(908): I'm eating my dinosaur chicken nuggets in the order they would die in the food chain.
----------
(314): I just got my poem back from the prof, there's a sticker of a girraffe on it and it says "you're awesome!" ... How can this even be considered real college?!?
------------------------
(810):i went to go through my sent box of drunk texts from last night and they were all deleted... i'm going to assume drunk me made the executive decision that sober me would be better off not knowing what they said
--------------------
(601): Hypothetical question: If I threw up in the dishwasher do I clean it up or just turn it on? :(
---------------------------
(951): So after we got done with our cardiac arrest patient, I thought how awesome would it be to hook up the defibrillator pads to cook a burrito.
(909): dude... how have they not drug tested you yet?
---------------------------
(980): I making dinner, so you might want to actually come home tonight.
(704): oh, you finally did the dishes then?
(980): No, bought new ones.
---------------------------
(908):  Apparently I added "small children" to my likes on facebook. glad to know that's where my subconscious is at.

Edits

I’m chillin in my suitemates room watching the oylmpics. Apolo got first in the heats! Whoot! I was excited. Any how I’m putting off finishing my literacy narrative. And guess who didn’t make an appointment to go see their English teacher for help… yup me. I just gave up cause it’s going to be a shitty essay either way and I thought I’d save my professor the pain of reading it through twice. Plus… I know it’s shitty and I figured I didn’t need to hear it from my teacher. I take to criticism with academics better in writing. Dork I know right. But on the up side I’ve plowed though some more editing and still frustrated with my early characters because they are so off from what I made them at the end. Oh silly me. But I’m fixing it and so far I’ve made cuts to the opening and added to the early scenes of the quest. So I’m excited! Oh and one more piece of awesome news I made Deans List!!!!!! YAAAAAAAY!!! I suppose I should finish up my narrative edits now……
