Maybe I'll post here once a month

A sentence every month. That wasn't my sentence, though. That one wasn't it either. That one... Um, well, here's my "real" sentence:

Ah, actually, I really have nothing to say - maybe something will pop into my head next month.

I just feel like it

I just feel like posting here. For no reason, none at all...except maybe procrastinating. But I do that all the time. Some examples:

• LRRH.
• Blogs.
• Random Googles.
• Making faces at myself in the mirror.
• Spinning around really fast in my swivel chair (which I've always thought was crazily fun... what a child I am ;)
• Walking aimlessly around the apartment, occasionally bumping into things, which usually happen to be pretty sharp... I have several bruises, actually...
• Poking people, usually my youngest brother. I also love squishing his cheeks, they're so malleable. ;)
• Doodling on my homework (word art, silly faces, bubbly flowers, corny sayings)
• Eating.
• Making lists.

Sigh. I guess that's enough procrastinating for one day. Gotta do my homework....

Good and bad news (for me)

Bad (always first): I'm only half-way through my writing project. It's a free-verse type short story thing, and I have no idea where in the world it's going. The characters seem flat, and the plot seems unbelievable, even for a fantasyish type story. And I haven't had a peer conference yet, which I need to get done soon. Ick.

Good: the final draft is NOT due tomorrow (thank goodness!). Apparently, the rough draft should be finished by tomorrow, and that's optional, since it's really only if you want the teacher to go through it and edit/revise/give suggestions/etcetera. But I want my teacher to read it.

Another bad: I'm beginning to really hate my story. Just beginning to, though. And I'm only half-way...only half-way...ahhhh...seven chapters so far...it's too long for this writing project...my teacher's going to tell me to cut it in half...that will be impossible...I want to start over...no, I don't want to start over...I don't want to go through this again! Oh, but I have to. Three more times this year. Three more huge, impossible, draining writing workshop projects that I have to complete if I want to pass ELA.

Question of the quarter: am I going to live through this???

My ideal...

So I haven't written here in a while (at least it feels that way), so I was thinking maybe I should make a meme. It's just a random, learn-more-about-other-bloggers type thing, so let's see how it goes...

Rules: if you're tagged, make sure to add one more ideal "thing" to the list, besides the items that are already there. So if I was just tagged for this meme, with the current list, I might add "vacation" or "day at school." Be as descriptive and random and silly as you want. This is a meme about you, so make sure to show your true self with your answers. :]

My ideal...

Snack: chocolate chip cookies! :]

Day: fun, hanging out with friends (sigh), reading for at least three hours (consecutively!), and very windy and sunny. Or rainy.

Book: just look up The Goose Girl by Shannon Hale.

Friend: honest, funny, speaks English fluently (I've taken this for granted), dependable, genuine.

So...I guess I'll just tag one person, so this meme won't "run out" too fast, I guess. And the *lucky* person is... Q! Have at it, and enjoy (at least, I hope you do). :)
