It feels like its been forever since Ive posted. I suppose its been a month and a half. I’d like to get back into it, but it seems like theres always something better to do. Summer wasnt very good. Jake had work almost every night, I had work every morning. We seldom got together, and I never got to sleep in. It wasnt even a summer at all. SVSU started, and theres more homework than I thought there would be. Not that its a bad thing, just that having to read tons of boring crap is annoying. I would like to spend an hour each day working on my story, and an hour learning piano, but it just hasnt been happening. I finished watching Friends, all ten seasons, and now Ive started over. Talk about a waste of time. Friends is about 24 episodes per season, 20 mins per episode, 8 hours per season, 80 hours for the whole thing. If I wrote a thousand words an hour that would have been an 80,000 word novel, instead of the whole thing of Friends. That doesnt make me feel very good about myself. I’m tired, and I have school early, so good night.

I went to moms Tuesday night and watched a movie right after my post. It was Far and Away with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, where they were Irish and went to America. It was pretty good, except the ending was cheesy. And I also went to the new library, Alice and Jack Wirt. Its really, really nice. I got rented 5 books in the series I’m reading and really looking forward to reading them. In the sun. And get a tan. I really like reading in the sun and getting a tan, which I haven’t lately since I finished the last book that I had, but now I have more!
Anyways, today. Jessica’s computer died, so I had to fix it. First the fan went out, so we replaced that, then the hard drive died right after, so we replaced that. It actually took a lot longer than it sounds¹. But in the process of obtaining a new hard drive I rammed my ring finger through a little metal lip off a casing and split the tip of it a quarter inch deep. I had this big² gash right by my nail. It didn’t even hurt when I did it, which surprised me. That must be why people don’t scream when getting shot, they just looked shocked, because the pain doesn’t hurt at first. Anyways, it started bleeding so I had to wash it and put a band-aid on it. When I showed it to Missy she freaked out and wouldn’t look at it. It was pretty bad looking, but it didn’t feel bad until a couple minutes later after I put the band-aid on. I’m not looking forward to taking the band-aid off… I hate that. Oh yeah, and writing… haven’t written since Sunday but I swear Ill get back to it. I really will. Just you wait and see!

Just had some supper: creamed eggs on toast. Ben is out at Pat and Jerrys and dad was working, so Im kind of lonely. Im still waiting for Louie to level a guy on the new WoW server, but Im not sure if itll ever happen. I was thinking about how much fun hanging out with Zac and Lee was and wondering if we could hang out again soon. And Jon and Spencer. It feels like forever since I even talked to them. And Kyle and Sam, playing halo and age of empires… my summer has been really sucky come to thing of it. Ive hardly even left the house, let alone spend time with any friends. And I havent been writing, or running, or much of anything. My life is actually a lot like my supper: creamed eggs on toast. Except theres no toast. Its just sloppy creamed eggs. And creamed eggs are not good without toast. Theres nothing to add any crunch to my life at all right now. Its pathetic that Im looking forward to school because that will add some toast to my life. Nice, warm, crunchy toast.
But I think Ill start running again soon, and Ive been writing… kind of. So theres that. Ive just been feeling really down today. Its probably because I was up late watching Friends, which really bothers me because the only reason I am is because Ben was watching it and it looked entertaining and its something new compared to my plain summer and now Im really interested in it and I stayed up late and now Ill probably watch Friends now instead of write because the only way I could make myself write was that I had nothing else interesting to do and now I do and it sucks. Oh well. Ill figure something out. Time to muddle around in the nano forumes while I put off writing.

Its getting late, so Ill keep it short. I told you I would be back. Im certain Ive said this already, but I didnt take any steps to continue the story, which I just have. 427 words. And it didnt hurt nearly as much as I thought it would. Now if I could just mow the lawn like I keep telling myself I will…
But thats besides the point. Ive gotten some new plot ideas, and also scowered the nanowrimo site and its forums. Lots of insipration in there. I also added my two cents on a topic, as well as posted my own question. I hope to get some replies tomorrow. Well, I just wanted to announce my small victory and prove that I really did keep my promise. Im back in action, baby!

I can hardly believe its been 9 days since my last post. It doest feel as if its been long at all. Ive been pretty much doing as much as I need to with little to no effort. I work in the office 3 hours a day, then do whatever I fancy. As of late that means Ive been laying around reading the “Sword of Truth” series, napping, and getting on WoW every now and again. I went to my moms last weekend, and did some stuff with Louie and Jake, but theres been no accomplishment. I actually thought a lot about how reading my book and playing video games is a lot of things- fun, entertaining, exciting, insightful- but I never feel any sort of accomplishment. I got that at Western, between tests and assignments, but Im now lacking that. It makes it feel like Im just floating around, not really doing anything. Thats why I need the determination to continue with that blasted story. The name has really been turning me off from the story because everyone hates the name and calls it ‘golden showers’. Maybe if I rename it then Ill get some new excitement from it. The thing is, after reading these intense, long, complicated book series, then I feel woefully bad compared these amazing books. How can I compare to their intricate story lines and dynamic characters? My rather linear story line has been keeping me from writing. I just need the determination to flesh out the story and start writing again. Also, Ive been thinking about getting story lines from my dreams. Ive never thought of that before, but this interesting dream has me inspired. Just one more reason why I need to learn to have lucid dreams.

I remember taking a break from WoW a couple months back. During that break I realized that I have a lot more free time than I thought I did and it was what eventually drove me start my story up again. And when I started playing it again that was what stopped me from writing again. I think I see a connection here. I actually havent been playing that much recently, and what with the arguments that come up when Jake acts like a retard, I think Ill just stop completely. I dont know. Dad wanted me to level my pally with his rogue. Thats about the only reason not to quit.
Dad has been teaching the kids in super church the last 2 weeks and will for 2 more. That leaves Ben and I with grandma alone. It was kind of awkward for a while, but once it got going it wasnt too bad. The normal people were gone, so we had this new pastor playing the piano. It was better than most services. I liked how he played songs we hadnt heard before, and there was this really good one (I wrote down some of the lyrics to get it later). Also, I was quite proud of myself for remembering my tithe, giving a whopping $112 between work wages and grad money. We stopped to missys house after church for an hour and two after getting some food and layed around with Grace. Whenever I go into missys house I always see that picture of mom when she was like 25 and she looks really young.
Then I read in the sun for like 3 hours after I got home. Today was the first day I tried bringing out a cup with me with some lemonade. It was so good I couldnt believe I hadnt done it earlier. The toasty sun, the warm breeze, the refreshing drink, the cool grass under my feet. Its an improvement from reading in my stuffy bedroom to say the least. Louie wanted me to do something in WoW so I logged on but ended up getting in an argument with Jake and Louie, and got a killer headache. So yea. I dont even really want to play WoW anymore.

I read most of my posts on the site and was surprised at how much its like reading a journal. Thats essentially what this is. It was fun to reminisce. But I told you I wouldnt give up, and I didnt. Here I am, back to catching up with my story. Even if I havent written anything yet, I still think Ive dredged up enough interest. Man, so much has happened since my last post. Too much to think about. In short my life has become a vast pile of disinterest and boredum. Hardly anyone comes over anymore, I practically have no friends. I found solace in reading the Sword of Truth series, but even thats lost my interest. The last couple days have been the worst. Ive been reduced to reading in the sun and scavenging what scraps of conversation I can from people in WoW. Today was the worst. I didnt want to do anything.
But thats behind me. I made a promise to myself, long ago, that I wouldnt give up on my story. This will have been my second long break, spanning several months, but Ive come back again, just like I said I would. I think Ill rename it, I dont like the name anymore. With WoW having lost my interest, then the books I was reading in tow, now I really dont have anything to do except mope around with self pity, or work on my story. I guess Ill choose the latter.
I keep thinking of more and more things that have happened, like my job, the period of nonstop WoW, Jake and Louie arguments, Grace. A lot went on that didnt get recorded, but thats all in the past. Despite the last few days Ive had I can still look back and smile at how much fun I did have. I can tell that Im never truely satisfied unless Im going to school or working on this book. Everything else feels a waste of time. I dont feel satisfied when I waste 10 hours a day playing WoW with Jake or Louie, but its the only thing that numbs the need of satisfaction.
Oh, one more thing before I cut this off. The new book series Ive been reading, Sword of Truth, is mindblowing in how much detail is used. Most of the time it gets just overwhelming in its detail. Too Much Information. He finds the craziest stuff to define. A whole page to describe the room decoration? Who cares! A whole chapter to describe how a guy kills a prostitute? Creepy! But after reading that it feels likes theres oh so much more I can describe. This is getting too long. Goodnight.

At least Im keeping this up to a post a week… I used to write a lot back when I was working on the novel but lately I just dont get around to writing. I dont even plan on keeping this blog for long as Im working on getting a different blog up, one geared more towards my novel and less about my boring life. I just need to learn css to make up a design for it because I dont like my options.
I have been cutting back on WoW, which I like. Even though I still havent written any of my novel in a week I still have some ideas to expand on and should be in gear to work on it tonight. Louie wanted to run something, but I dont think Im going to. Ive been watching Heroes though. Good show. Anyways, I dont really know why I havent written. I guess since I stopped during my surgery I lost the flow of things and even though I have time I wind up doing other things anyways. I promise I haven given up on it. I still like the story. I just need to force myself to get back into writing everyday since I lost the habit. Just another thing to think about alongside my grad party…

I dont have much time to post because its getting late, so Ill be quick. I went to lunch at Pat and Jerrys today because Spencer wanted to. I didnt really want to, but I did anyways. We discussed Grad parties and there seems to be a lot of overlapping dates that we have to work out. Joe is sick, so I dont know when we’ll be able to get together with him. Oh, but Delta is over! Finally I can stop going to those lame classes and still get out of Western at noon everyday. Score. Jake got a promotion at Cottage Inn because he was going to leave so they’ll be celebrating that tomorrow but I dont know if I can go because I already made plans with Missy. We’ll see how that plays out. Jon is also coming over tomorrow and I’ll probably scribble a bit in my novel before I head for bed. Night.
