Hi guys..

Nothing really new to update you on, regarding yesterday's post, but I still have to blog.

I finally got around to working on Script Frenzy a bit. I think I'll go back to doing that in a little while. I'm really excited about this, but at the rate we're going, we're not going to finish until NaNoWriMo. At least we'll be busy.

Last night, I started watching Once Upon A Time. That show's pretty addicting, and I've already spent nearly five hours on it. Like I said, I only JUST started working on Script Frenzy.

Not much else has gone on, except I have loads of spring break homework that I need to get to work on. I think I'll finish my Astronomy homework, and start my French homework tomorrow. Someone hold me to that, please. Um.

Well, that's all, uh, folks.

Day Two!

Well, friends, as ever, my life is hectic.

Last night, long after I posted my first blog of the year, I received some scary news. My aunt, who has been living between hospitals and care homes (to recover from her illnesses) for the last few months, is back in the hospital. It sucks, especially because it means that I get to see my grandma cry every now and then, which in turn makes me cry, because of how big of a part she plays in my life. She seems to be improving today, but last night announced that she does not want to be placed on life support if she keeps getting sick (she was on it for about a month a few years ago).

Today, one of my grandma's best friends was readmitted to a hospital (after also being in another care home, for similar reasons) and is apparently unresponsive. So far, the doctors believe she might have had a stroke.

Everything has just been crazy and I haven't been able to think straight all day. I honestly don't know if I'll blog all month, but I am going to try. Unfortunately, I can't promise that they'll all be happy posts.

See you tomorrow.

Hey, guys!

It's been a while, hasn't it?

A lot has gone on since October 7th, when I last blogged, but luckily, the majority of you who I know read this are my friends. For the few stragglers that may have found my blog, through Twitter or Tumblr or whatever, just know that I had a life-changing winter. I don't want to dwell on it, but I learned a few things over the last few months. I learned what loss really was (this happens too often, I think), and which of my friends I could not count on to be there when I needed them (also, too often), and finally learned to appreciate something Michael Gambon said as Dumbledore.

Otherwise, I've been all right, I guess. School has been fine. I applied for one of my dream jobs and didn't get it. I went to Disneyland a few more times. Not much has changed, really.

Today, I'm starting a new project with my friends Nikki and Jessie. Over the course of the month, we've decided that were going to adapt Disney's Princess and the Frog for a fictional stage, with an unlimited budget. Nikki and I are doing all of the work that involved writing, and we've set a secondary goal that's not usually a part of the challenge that prompted us to do this project, Script Frenzy. Jessie, our (not technically allowed) third team member, will be contributing art and drawings to the project, to help give us a better idea of what our show would actually look like if we were able to actually do it. So, that's a thing.

Other than that, I recently joined a late-starting class at my school. The instructor of the course is notorious for assigning ridiculous amounts of homework. Lucky for me, our course is only half the length that most courses teaching the same information are, so I'm pretty busy.

This is going to be a boring month, friends. Fair warning.

Raw

I just finished Mockingjay for the third time, and I've finally figured out what about it frightens me. Needless to say, spoilers ahead.

It happens at the end of the book, not about those who die, who Katniss shoots, or her ending up with Peeta, but something much more real and ten times as frightening. Gale left her. She did not choose Peeta. She did not choose Gale. But he left. He left her in depression and fear. He left her alone and broken. He left her when she needed him most. She absolutely needed both him and Peeta to recover. But he was gone.

The idea that those you love could suddenly stop loving you and leave you with nothing is absolutely terrifying. And that's why the book is so effective, isn't it? I don't know if it's because I struggled with depression in the past, but it really hurts to read the end of this book.

I'm ten times as attached to Harry Potter, and have cried at least once every single time I have read the last book or seen the eighth film. Deathly Hallows has a horribly sad ending, and means so much more to me because it marks an "end of an era" of sorts. Mockingjay has its horribly sad bits, yes, but it's worse. Mockingjay leaves you without feeling at all. Exactly as Katniss surely did, when she returned from the Capitol.

I just thought you deserved to know:

I'm dropping out of BEDA for this month. August just isn't going to work for me this year, folks. Too much drama, planning, and not being home has led to me already missing more than one post. I do think I'll be blogging more often, though. It's fun to have a goal. Let's think now, shall we? What say you about a blog a week, until the rest of the year? I'll think about it.

Not at home.

No way to blog yesterday, sorry. Gonna have to cut today's post short, due to my lack of patience. Got to go, bye.

I could blog today.

I could blog today. Yeah, sure, I could tell you about how I emptied my grandparents' patio/garage thing so that they can paint in a few days. Or I could tell you about how my neighbor got shot a few hours ago, when 18 rounds flew through my neighborhood.

But I won't. At least not today, I guess. Right now, I'm listening to Disney covers and Disney shows and watching Youtube videos with my friends. And that, I say, is more important than anything else at the moment.

See you tomorrow!
