I have yet to actually write anything new on my NANOWRIMO novel. I have to sit my ass down and use Write Or Die, but I have to get caught up in English first. So, I've been avoiding both, obviously. I think I might jump around, and write all my favorite scenes with Lexie first. That might help.
Yesterday I went over to Josh's house, and learned all that's going to be going on over there. Lots of fun. They have a computer, so, yay. Also, I'll only be over there on the weekend, so I can call Chris and talk to him however much I want. Then maybe we can go for dinner when I get back.
I love being able to plan things with a person who is not family. It makes me feel... Normal. I'm a normal kid, putting off homework to hang out with my... wait for iiiiiiiiiiit... BOYFRIEND. Yeah, bitches, you heard me! BOYFRIEND. I have this constant state of smileyness that is getting annoying even to me, but I'm not giving it up for anything. I'm also determined to get caught up so my parents don't see a need to stop me from seeing him.
We had a date last night. Yesterday afternoon... He came over at 2:30 with a couple of bbc movies and series and stuff, and we ended up not watching any of them. We played Wii with my family, then had dinner, and cuddled on the couch while a movie was playing in the background and talked loudly over it with my family. Yeah... so, not the most orthodox first date, but I'm not a traditional person, am I? We aren't. He's coming back on Sunday to watch Holy Grail, and maybe we'll actually watch this one. Or maybe we won't. His ankle might be better, so maybe we'll go on a walk, and my family won't be able to spy. Maybe I'll get my first kiss. And we'll get him a facebook, so I can keep tabs on him... er. so my cousin can get pics of him. lol. Did I mention he didn't leave until 10:30? That's 8 hours of continuous companionship, and there weren't any awkward silences or weird conversations to stop those. We were talking, chatting, and it felt... normal. And the first time we talked on the phone, we talked for an hour, and other than an obscene amount of obscenety on my part, there was nothing different. Just straight conversation. It doesn't quite feel real, so I'm putting off making it "Facebook official" until I can talk to him about the whole flattery thing.
On a side note, avoiding fanfiction isn't working. When I'm stuck on an essay (such as now) All it does is make me go on xkcd, which, no matter how many times I've read it, I always go all the way through, looking for that one specific joke. So.... I'm on 743. Going backwards.
Love,

Boys! Boo's! Books!
So maybe posting every day isn't my thing. heh.
Last night was AWESOME! Me, Jess, and Julie went trick-or-treating. Didn't get a lot of candy, but enough to last me a while. (through November, maybe?). I actually didn't freeze my ass off, which is amazing, considering I was wearing a nylon dress, thin boots, and a crushed velvet cape. (that's not all, just all that was substantial.) Then, Alex decided we needed to do something because he wanted to go to a club, and it didn't get started till 10. So we went to a movie. We saw Red. AWESOME! It was some anniversary, so we got free popcorn and pop. And, of course, our Halloween candy. There were only like 4 other people in the theater.
There were some crazy people on our route. And some crazy pumpkins. I can't even remember, but there are some talented pumpkin-carvers in ******. lol. We walked up to some guy's front door, and next to it is a pumpkin with a piece of notebook paper taped to it that says "Imagine face here". Yeah. I just found my idol. So we ring the doorbell (thank god there was one, I have a fear of knocking on doors. Jess had a fear of this house.) and he opens the door. We say 'Trick or Treat' all out of sync, and he says "smell my feet. ha! tripped you up there, didn't I?" and gives us a crapload of candy. Yeah.
Now, We didn't get home until like 12:30, and I still hadn't read the Odyssey(read most of it today, but I finished a majority of the unit, so I gave myself a break. I'm talking to her tomorrow, so I just have to have enough of it finished to bs my way through that. Then I can finish on my own time, I actually started to like it.) so I couldn't get started on my NANOWRIMO novel. I'm doing that now. Just waiting for the greeting scene to solidify in my mind.
I have 2 babysitting jobs lined up this month. My cousins on Saturday and one of Morgan's classmates on the 19-21. Of course, that means I have to miss the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I. Damn. but 60 bucks! And I don't actually have to miss it. The premiere is on Thursday night. But No way I'm going to be able to stay at Julie's on a school night. Her parents freaked out enough as it is.
CHRIS ASKED ME OUT!!!! actually, he asked Becca to ask me out. So I told her to tell him that he can call and ask me himself. Lol. I just have to make sure he actually likes me and isn't just flattered. Been there before. Not going again. But he asked! I'm so separated from people right now I might go out with Kayla Pajari. No. But... almost. No. But... you know what I'm saying, don't you?
I'm going to get back to writing. I have about... 1,467 words left to write tonight. Good thing I have this bar planned out really well in my head.

Suprise!
So I didn't post yesterday. Oops. Not oops. I had almost convinced myself that the "bonfire" was really a halloween party. I had almost convinced myself that it was a suprise party. I was completely suprised when I walked in and saw everybody. It was... amazing. I'm tearing up just remembering it. It was so much fun, and seeing everybody there, for me (well, a lot of them were just there. lol.) Julie, Matt, and Jess were there, and a bunch of Becca's friends. We ended up staying up nearly all night.
The big thing about last night was Chris. I met him before, apparently gave him a bit of a look. Idk. When I saw him tonight I didn't recognize him. But I will now. He was cute, GINGER, smart, and COMPLETELY insane. I am completely in love with him. By in love I mean, he is completely amazing and I can totally see being a very close friend, or even girlfriend. We talked all night, and I was cuddling with him a majority of the time. I sat next to him, and was pretty flirty. then he mentioned we were really comfy. I ended up sleeping curled up into him. He got up when I was sleeping, so I don't know how I ended up waking up laying on his shoulder. Hmmm...
I have to get a crapton done tonight. Yes. Tomorrow I'm going trick-or-treating with Julie and Jess. Woot! I have to choose between Sexy red Devil with red quilted heels or black patent peeptoe, and sexy witch with stripper heels. Either way I'm using my red extension.
Psyched up for NANOWRIMO. I'm sabatoging myself, but I'm still gonna do it. I have to read the Odyssy tonight. Oh dear.

October the lateth
So, the last 2 posts have been about how sorry I am that I haven't posted. Well, I'm not, so that's all I'm going to say about that.
I haven't posted because, honestly, I had no reason to. I had twitter, caboards, myyearbook, and facebook.
But now I need somewhere longer to post.
I'm doing NANOWRIMO this year, and it's going to be EPIC! I have the basic plot, the characters, and the setting (kind of). Now all I need is the dialogue. Which will come in due time.
The past spring, I was diagnosed with DFSP (Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans). Basically, its a skin cancer. It's local, but aggressive. We have no idea when I started to develop it, but by the time they got it, they had to remove all of the tissue down to my skull. (yes, this was on my face). So now I have a, and to paraphrase my Plastic Surgeon "tire patch" over my right eyebrow. Not to mention the droopy eyebrow. And I can't move that side of my forehead. But I CAN raise one eyebrow.
My family is completely insane. Morgan (6) is sharing my room now. Right after I get it to almost damn perfect, for the remander of my time at home. Why? Because my friend Jasmine moved in with her 5 1/2 month old son. Who has spent the past 3 nights screaming. And I was looking to invest in earplugs when Morgan was born.
We spent the first night in the ER (4 hours. FOUR hours.) because he fell off the bed. Then I had to get up after 3 hours to go to a dentist appointment, where I found out I have a few (minor) cavities. Perfect! I've been taking immensely good care of my teeth, and this is the year I get cavities. Really? Is that how we're doing it?
So, back to NANOWRIMO. It's about Blake, this gorgeous bisexual lawyer (think a tall Seth Green with black hair) who meets Aedan (who is in a long term relationship). After spending all night falling for Aedan, he finds out that he's IAR. So, he gets slightly MORE tipsy and calls his bgf(best girlfriend) Lexie, and they end up sleeping together. So they end up together (don't ask me how, I don't know yet) Eventually, Blake, Lexie, Aedan, and Declan end up being an inseperable quartet. Until one night, it all comes to a head. Declan and Aedan have a near knock-down drag-out fight, and Lexie blows up on Blake. And that's all I'm going to tell you right now, because the rest is the ending. (epilogue, maybe? Idk)
The only problem is that my characters aren't behaving. Lexie keeps stealing the show with her "look at me" personality. She is always in my head, saying "OOH! I would do this!" while I'm looking for tidbits about Blake, Aedan, and Declan. You are NOT the MC, Lexie! This is supposed to be Blake's POV. But, I think it may end up being a mixed POV. Mainly his, with short chapters of hers. Or maybe I'll tell his, then hers, and finally the conclusion. That might work. I just figured out a couple parts of Declan's personality today. He is not abusive, as I first had figured, just controlling. He really wasn't until Blake came along, though. Aedan is there, fully formed, he just isn't showing himself all that much. I'm counting on him coming out in November, or I may have to interview. Blake is not all there yet. Which is odd, considering he's the MC. I wrote a little bit in his POV, and it fit perfectly. I'll just have to continue that scene and see where it goes.
Now all I have to do is finish Latin, the Odyssy, and the Odyssy unit, apply to 5 colleges, do 2 weeks of Stats, clean my room, and read a book for English Lit.
Going to start a count.
