I'm finding out in the hardest way

My mom found the story I am revising. I'm going to be changing quite a few characters names', adding others, and anything else I can think of to make it flow better. Its title, Black Blood, while accurate as far as the plot goes, is still somewhat unfitting. I was reading it before, and I'm surprised at how fucked up I was.

So, I've been thinking about a lot of things lately, mostly my writing. I like writing for other people, as much as myself, but I need more feedback than I get. I need to know I'm actually good at something I've been doing since I was fourteen.

I also want to rewrite a short story I did in high school for my Psychology class. Amazingly enough, I still remember the characters and most of the plot. Though, I did forget one key part. It's been awhile :)

I want to make something of myself. I don't want someone to tell me how unrealistic my dream is.

New Moon was good. Better than Twilight. I want to see it again.

I'm going to see New Moon on Friday with people. Not the midnight showing because I want to avoid those stupid fangirls screaming like idiots every time Edward comes on the screen.

I'm more excited for the side characters than Bella and Edward. I love the Culens (Yes, even Rosalie), and the wolf pack. That is going to be a bunch of half-naked sexiness. I even like Laurent.


So, yes, they all make the movie and books, not the main people. I know that sucks of me to say but it's true. I liked Edward in the beginning of Twilight, but then, I dunno, he just became really annoying and clingy.

*shrug*

I love the Volturi, Aro especially. I liked him a lot in the books. And the boy who plays Alec is so cute :3 I'm also very excited to see Dakota Fanning as Jane. She looks awesome.

I finished writing a 14 page story called Hollow. It was based off a dream I had (with some added changes), and I'm debating posting it here.

The party was good. Drama free.
I had some unresolved issues with someone but they're fine now.
It was good to see Kyo, Kara, and Riley again.
I also liked meeting Lexi's boyfriend, George.
:)

Atreyu's new album, Congregation of the Damned came out on the 27th and I just got it today. I feel like a bad fan, haha. I want to see them again badly. I love them lots XD Anyway, I really like this CD and I know people have said they like the old Atreyu. Bands chance, didn't you know?

Colleen is back at Nancy's, and she brought her puppy with her. He's a pittbull named (ready for this?) Lonely Solider. Yes, I know. What a name. But he's so fucking cute and has sad eyes.

I haven't watched a baseball game in a long time, but I watched the first of the World Series tonight with Shannon and Nancy.  That was fun, except that the Yankees lost to the Phillies - 6 to 1.Hopefully they'll do better tomorrow night.

"A fist came at him so fast that Kieran didn’t have time to move. Jaime had punched him in the jaw, called him a bastard, and broke something else that was useless. The pain subsided in a matter of minutes, leaving him only to frown."

The Gazette, without a doubt.
Yes, I think I would.

Me, Shannon, and Aly did some anti-Twilight photos today.

XD

I watched a clip from Saw 6, too. Needless to say it made me all nervous, but I least I know one of the scenes.

So, I went to exchange my costume today (it was missing a few things, one being the main piece), and they told me that it was discontinued. Got my money back, which was good.

Taking the picture off the wall would be smart, yeah?

So, Party City failed me, but Halloween Scene came through. I got a different version of the costume I'd returned.

^_^

Three Days Grace's album, Life Starts Now, is amazing.

:D
