why don't we just leave it at that?

WHOO!

It's March 1st. You know what that means? Well, I'll tell you. :D

Okay, enough of the faux-cheerful-announcer thing. Anyway. It means that NaNoEdMo is officially underway. (: Which also means that there will be many more posts in fits of exasperation. Ah, it makes me miss NaNo.(:

For those of you who don't know what NaNoEdMo is, then I'm the gal to tell you all about it. (: It's National Novel Editing Month, a lot like NaNoWriMo, where you try to do 50 hours of editing in a month. It's great fun, except for when it isn't. But those times can't be helped. (;

Currently, I have three chapters edited, and I'm ready to scrap the rest of it and kill my FMC. But alas, stupid delete button is subconsciously not allowing me to. (:

I think I'm going to go now. But, for the record, I'm going to try to update this thing every day in March. (: Like the thing in February, only March. Ya got me? (;

Also, follow me on twitter. (Shameless promotion at its finest). I'm @misslilypotter.

That's all for now. Ciao, cyberpeeps.

i'm half-doomed and you're semi-sweet. (:

Holy shit, it's been a long time since I last posted. ><>

Ignore that.

Today, I went to a bookstore. :D I got On Writing, The Stand, Firestarter, and two other horror books. (The first three are by Stephen King, for the record). It made me quite happy. (:

We also had mini cakes because it's my stepdad's- er, I mean, Dr. Wilson (from House)'s birthday. Yeah. Cake is good.

I also rediscovered my love for Panic at the Disco and Fall Out Boy. I finally got my Zune back (after an entire week without it), and I was listening to that lovely 'shuffle' feature, and But it's Better if You Do came on. (: That was my favorite song a while back. It made me feel old.

... Even though I'm only fifteen. You know. I can feel old, too.

I've finally discovered the cause for my headaches! Apparently, I grind my teeth. Which means that when I'm asleep, for 10 hours a night, my teeth are grinding away. Which causes headaches. Which means that what three CAT scans and an MRI couldn't figure out has been accomplished by a visit to the dentist.

Thank you, dentist. (:

I've also rekindled a love for the song "Back Where We Started" by Tina Dico. If you know it, then you're awesome, and we should be best friends. If you don't know it, then you should look it up. I'm doing my final in Choir to that song (dancing--don't ask me how that works), and I think it's doing well. (:

OH! I saw Young Frankenstein today (the musical). It was freaking amazing. (: I loved it so much, even if the 'dirty jokes' made me a bit uncomfortable, with my friends parents right by me. (:

I also saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show yesterday, but I liked that significantly less. :P I still don't 'get' it. If you can explain it, do so in a comment. (;

I don't know what else I can say... Other then that my ex boyfriend has decided that he's in love with me again. So now I have two choices: I can seduce him to get his other ex to stop thinking about him, or let him down easy. I dislike the ex, so I'm thinking of going with the first choice. (:

In other other news, I finally finished my first short story. (: It's called Somewhere, A Queen is Weeping and it takes place in Medieval London. I like it. I'm submitting it to my school's creative arts magazine.

Lastly, I've finally gotten into American Idol again. And so, to commemorate, my mother decided that she wants me to try out when they come near us this summer. Oh, joy. So instead of practicing for something (anything) dance-related, I'm working on my (mad) vocal skills. Should be fun. If I make it, I'll be sure to let y'all know. (;

I guess that's it.

Ciao, for now. (:

Jasmine

these colorful bums is funny. (:

hey there, all.

happy 2010, though i'm about eight days late. XD

so i haven't gotten adequate sleep in... two weeks. greatt. (: but at least i've been editing, so it's all good.

blah. i don't know what to say.

so i'll say something about 2009. :D

2009 was a turmoil. i broke up with two guys, got my heart broken by the same guy three times (bad idea, getting with an ex), got two new phones xD, had two breakdowns (don't even ask...), and SAW THE FUCKING INAUGURATION! ohmygod, that was the highlight. two million people isn't a good idea to get lost in the midst of, but i wouldn't trade that memory for anything. &hearts

i guess that's all i can say. (: ciao.

i want a coin-operated boy. (:

i love that song. it's coin operated boy, by the dresden dolls. xD it's been stuck in my head ever since i put it as my myspace song, and i actually know the entire thing now.

so i've finished chapter seven, editing wise. which means... only twenty more to go. -sigh- i really do abhor editing. yes, i know, if i ever expect to be published, i have to suck it up and deal, but that doesn't stop it being awful. xP

i'm sorry, i went to bed at 5 am (again) last night... and got up at eight;; i'm not making much sense at all. (: i hate having insomnia, let's just leave it at that (leave it at that, mhm... anyone know that song? back where we started? no? ah, well.).

i feel like there's more i should say.

i have a follower. thanks, leelee. (:

and i guess that's it. for now. <3

peace.

i'll sing this soft and slow.

hey, people who might be reading this. (:

so it's 4 pm here. i went to bed at 730 am (not a good idea) and woke up at 2, when my mom called me. xD so i've only been up about two hours, but i'm really tired.

hmm. what to talk about? obviously, i planned this blog out very well.

i'm almost done with editing what i call 'part one' of my novel... chapters one through ten. it's not completely done, but it's much better, as it is, then when i wrote it originally.

maybe i'll post an excerpt, sometime.

oh! in other news... i've finally fixed my friendships with people who i wasn't friends with anymore. (: especially holly*. she was really mad at me for awhile, for a bunch of stupid shit that i did, but i think we're finally friends again. and destiny*, we're friends again too.

happy new year's to everyone reading this, and don't be afraid to follow me. (:

* Names have been changed.

we wish you a merry christmas.

Merry Christmas, everyone. :D

So I woke up this morning to my brother, Jake*, tapping me on the shoulder. We ran downstairs, waking up the parentals, and opened our gifts. I got...

Vampire Academy, by Richelle Mead

Frostbite, by the same

Tricks, by Ellen Hopkins

The new(ish) Britney Spears CD

Lady Gaga's CD

Sara Bareilles' CD

Katy Perry

Harry Potter 6 (!!!!!!!!!)

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

I think that's it... basically. Except, of course for the Network Adaptor! I was so happy, now I've finally got internet on my lappytop. <3

Last night was...strange. I went to church for the first time in about three years... I felt so out of place. It was fun, but... strange. I liked it, though. I think I'll be going back to church more, now. (:

Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to everyone reading this. <3

Lost in this world. I even get lost in this song.

(:

NaNoWriMo, how I love thee.

What? Did I just say that? Last year, I loathed it. I loathed the word count, the rush-rush-rush feeling, the no-editing. This year, I'm taking it easy and slow. And I'm liking it.

I've got about 7100 words. Not a whole lot, no, but I only got 10K during the whole month last year. So this year's going to be much better, I can already tell. (:

My first line, as so generously dared by a NaNoer on the forums, is:

"Where the hell are my pants?"

Ha, I like it. (:

In other news? I'm sick. ): Not good. I had to leave school because we had a damn fire. No, not a drill. A fire. Which meant an hour and a half of being outside, me with no jacket.

And everyone around me thinks I have the flu. Oh, bloody joy.

Bye, all.

Jasmine
