On the plus. I'm positive I'll be leaving two classes with at least B+s. And one with a C depending on the case study, if it goes well it'll be a B- and I can avoid Academic Probation.
Argh, first exam is at 8:30 on Tuesday and this is me procrastinating. The likelihood of me jamming my pencil in *someone's* eye, not likely my own since I don't handle pain well, is high.
Good luck to everyone else who's taking exams//midterms//whatever.
Note: T-Pain's voice is really beginning to get on my last nerve. And my mood smileys suck asphalt. Cat has one damn expression and keeps swinging his frigging tail.

I sort of really suck, but oh well, lol.
Edit: As you can see I kicked Nano's ass this year. For the first time ever.
In my defense, even though I've never won this stupid thing, because I always go back over chapters to change things and I decide that I don't like the plot blahblahblah, I always get some writing done that month. Considering the fact that October I tend to get no writing done I think it balances out quite well.
This year I'm not starting from scratch because honestly I have too much crap started with three chapters done and then nothing. So pulling out one of my older stories, five chapters or less and my aim is to write at least five more chapters that month. Some may consider it cheating but as a character based writer if I don't I go off on huge random tangents that no amount of editing in the world can salvage as amusing as the rant may be to me.
And I despise group presentations. Sure, you don't have to do all the work by yourself, but on the flipside you're expected to do your work ahead of time. As someone who procrastinates to the point it could be a sickness, this is not good. I can actually be productive but it irritates me, lol, I hate the guilt factor, 'specially since I don't mind the last minute frantic search.
Case in point, sent in my notes to the girl who's decided to sort of 'lead' the team because she got annoyed with us all. And now I've found something that fits my point better. So now I'll re-email her and hope she hasn't already put my crap on the slide. Oh well.
It's finally finished. Took me forever I know, and the rewrite/edit is going to be HUGE but for now I'm quite pleased with myself. Since I no longer have a major project to work on, I think I'm going to fiddle around with EF, Bloodlust (now called Cyanide Kisses), It Was Only a Kiss, and Starcrossed a bit, see which one I feel teh most motivated for then just go with the flow.

Okay, overall series plot;
Basically, Eros/ Fate [still not sure] has gotten tired of the fact that throughout all of her pastlives even though her soulmate has been handed to her on a platter she's managed to screw it up. So they get the bright idea that the when she's next reincarnated when she comes into contact with her soulmate instead of messing around and trying to make sure they get together which they've found doesn't work, they send her back to her past lives [although she doesn't know this in the beginning of the series] so that she'll learn from her mistakes or at least fix it since she's not big enough to disrupt the future, it's just an annoyance to the god/spirit whomever.
There'll be four books, the first three will center around her dealing with not only getting uprooted from her own life in her time but getting sent back in time at random intervals. The last book will focus on her and her soulmate of this time and whether they finally break from the Star-Crossed Lovers mold and get together.
So right now I'm trying to figure out titles since I like having titles figured out all at once before I start writing so when I finish one novel I can go straight into the other without spending time figuring out what that one should be.
So far choices are;
Death-Marked Love [this one has been around for a while, I think it's a keeper.]
Beautiful Disaster
Forget-Me-Not
So I'm really having quite a bit of trouble with this bad boy.

One more exam and I'm free for four months.
Which means, my writing schedule has been freed up.
Tentative Update ScheduleWDC 30 -- May 1 - 7
WDC 31 -- May 28
WDC 32 -- June 3-8
WDC 33 -- June ?
WDC 35 -- June ?
WDC 36 (?) -- June ?
And that's the end for WDC.
From there I want to start re-writing Bloodlust, Everybody's Fool and leave WDC alone for awhile.
I also want to go through and at least try and plot out a rough outline for the stories I have thrown together, so many ideas and yet I have only one story actually completed and that's not that great, lol.
Main focus for the summer:
[] STARCROSSED - plot out each book
- figure out where I'm going with it
-
[] Everybody's Fool [not that big of a priority, just something when I get stuck with my other things.
[] BLOODLUST - "main project" -- rewrite characters, rewrite setting, rewrite plot and all that fun stuff
I have my current WIP that is approximately 4-6 chapters to completion and yet I'm stuck at one of the scenes I'd actually been looking forward too earlier on in the writing process. Now that it's here it won't come out the way I want it too and I'm getting so frustrated.
On a good, or maybe not so good note, I have an idea for three different stories. Two of which will be series books and one that I'm doing with my sister. All of them have been floating around in my head for a while but two of them need more skill then I currently have but I can't wait to get to them. So, to compromise I'm probably going to plot out the series, start the first book for both of them, see how that goes and then with the one I'm working on with my sister outline like crazy. All we have for that story is the turning point and although we get all giddy and happy over it, we need to figure out the rest, least of all the characters.

All around me are familiar faces
Worn out places, worn out faces
Bright and early for their daily races
Going nowhere, going nowhere
Their tears are filling up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to drown my sorrow
No tomorrow, no tomorrow
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very

Children waiting for the day they feel good
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday
And I feel the way that every child should
Sit and listen, sit and listen
Went to school and I was very nervous
No one knew me, no one knew me
Hello teacher tell me what's my lesson
Look right through me, look right through me
And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The dreams in which I'm dying
Are the best I've ever had
I find it hard to tell you
I find it hard to take
When people run in circles
It's a very, very

Summary - Okay so things you should never do when pissed off at your boyfriend and bestfriend:
1. go to a party with certain disreputable members of your school community
2. take a drink, okay, drinks, from someone you don't really trust on the basis he has nice dimples. And because they're colourful. Jello shots are not good, whole some fun.
3. Kiss said Mr. DImples to be spiteful and because he may or may not be sort of kind of extrememly attractive and then go on to drink some more. Because you'll wake up wearing HIS shirt in some random room with your bestfriend cussing you out on your cell.
4. Walk out of said room in the shirt because people will talk and then your ass is grass.
Unless you agree to some ... clauses said by Dimples

Yup, that's it so far. well, I actually have the beginning and my female character is almost finished being developed. My guy...not even two-dimensional but I'm working on it.
Joy I know. If all goes well, and if fp's up, I'll probably put the first draft of this up there.
And I'm probably opening and closing it with a quote.
** note -- I didn't actually finish this sucker, the idea was way too big, all the layers that I added, to be done in one go for nano. I'm slowly working on it now and I keep having to revamp it.
