Excuse Me Please, But Your Teeth are in my Neck.

I can’t help but talk about Stephanie Myers and her trilogy starting with Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. (She is in the process of writing more novels for this series). If you haven’t read them and love a good romance vampire/werewolf love story than this if for you. ha. I have never been moved with more emotion than when I read these books.

Because I am reluctant to give anything away in the stories I won’t go into much detail about them except to say that they are AMAZING. Even more amazing though is the way that Stephanie Myers came to write this book. According to her web page she had a dream about one of the scenes in the first book and that is when she awoke and knew that she must write. This is someone who became successful because of a dream she had and decided to write it on paper and kept writing until everything fell into place.

She had really no plans before this to write and if she did she didn’t have time to act on the impulses with her life and family. She went onto Writer’s Market, Made an account, and sent a query out to about eight different agencies. And who signs her of all people? Writer’s house. Writer’s house is one of the top dog literary agencies out there. They have signed people like Nora Roberts (whom I’ve read almost all of her books) and Ann Seabold author of “The Lovely Bones”.

So this dream, this scene that she had in her head led her to become a number one best seller and she has gone on to write two more books and even other books with new ideas. Although I have been rejected by six people at Writer’s House I can only say that Stephanie is the woman who made me get my ass up and write a query letter. I had no idea, before I went to her website how I was going to go about this whole process, and it was really good to hear how someone so successful did it. So thank-you Stephanie, hearing about your success gives me great hope.

Favorite Quote:

“One thing I truly knew—

Knew in the pit of my stomach,

In the center of my bones,

Knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet,

Knew it deep in my empty chest—–

Was how love gave someone the power to break you.”

When We Play, We PLAY.

Just because women have breasts and a v-j-j doesn’t mean they can’t play video games. Its not like you use those parts to play the games anyway. Why is it soo shocking that women do play games and are just as interested in them as guys? It shouldn’t be. First person shooter, third person shooter, story mode, its all the same and can be played just as well by any female. Back in the day when I played counter-strike and half life online I didn’t join into conversation much because if those boys figured out I was a girl they would get apalled and more than likely kick me out of the game. And guess what, these days I don’t care.

And then when Halo became a big deal and I got my first xbox and hooked in on xbox live people just couldn’t believe that I, a girl, was playing, and I was kicking some serious ass. I wasn’t a stellar player then, but I surely wasn’t last so booyah. And its fun. I have just as much ability to enjoy hours of game as much as anyone else. I will admit that on ocassion when I was playing with my guy friends (who were really good at halo) they would let me have the microphone and I would shit talk the other players and pretend like I was the one doing all the work when in fact I wasn’t even playing. Manipulative, but these days I don’t need other people to play for me.

On the day of the halo 3 release my friend and I of course made halo shirts and reserved a copy at best buy for midnight. When we showed up the boys in line were staring in disbelief because let’s face it we looked damn good in our shirts and we are super cute anyway. haha.

Just yesterday three people came over to my apartment to play halo 2. There was 2 guys and 2 girls. We decided to pair up girls vs. guys on team slayer, level: lockout, 50 kills to win. Needless to say we won… every game. We’re good and we make a good team and it just proves that females are better. Not only because they are good at wooing boys but because they kick ass in all things. So I’ve said all I’m going to say about this but come on guys, let’s face it, you can’t ignore us any longer.

You’re So Vain… You Probably Think this is About You.

There is no privacy that cannot be penatrated.

No Secret that can be kept in a civilized world.

Society is a masked ball where everyone hides their masked character,

And they only reveal it by hiding.

– Ralph Waldo Emerson -

 

Why is this so true? Why is it so hard to just accept someone for who they are? The people as a whole, have been unable to do this for quite some time now. For the most part there is always something that bugs you about someone close. Something that aggravates you to the point where you will not rest until you make them change their ways.

What if you can’t change their ways? No matter how much effort you put into it, what if they can’t give you what you want. We cannot stray from ourselves and if we do then we are giving up the basic principles of what makes us… us.

Forget society. If you can accept someone mind, body, and soul, then it should not matter what they look like or what kind of faults they have. But of course its not that easy. You have to factor in the shallow meter. We all have it, no matter what we like to think, we judge people on the way they look and how they act without really getting to know them as a person.

And because of this, it is hard. It shouldn’t be, but it is. Can you accept me for me?

Smile :)

It is quite close. But if i were you, I’d go with the smile.

Ahhh… Life.

Don’t you just love it when you can sigh and let all of the stress roll off your back? You must know that feeling after a HUGE exam when you’ve been studying for hours sometimes for days on end and you are freaking out. And then, when you go into the test very nervous and very unsure of how well you are about to do (even after all of the studying), all of the worry just rolls right off your back as you get into the rhythm of answering the questions.

Getting out of the test is the best part. When I turn it in and walk out of the room no matter what I know I’ve done my best and I can just breathe easy for awhile. You must know that feeling, the feeling of just letting all your worries melt away because there’s absolutely nothing more you can do but wait.

You know, giving the responsibility to someone else and leaving the results in their hands for awhile. Its nice.

But I must say I’ve had my fill of oligosaccharides, glycoproteins, and sterioisomers. I’m not looking at that stuff again until well, my next test.

Sooo that is why I can say Ahhh life. Because I’m pretty much happy to have big things taken care of, with spring break drawing nearer and nearer by the second. Its time to relax tonight, and soo, let the drinking begin. Peace.

Kindly Unspoken

The trials and tribulations of my life are so overbearing right now. I can’t even explain to you how overwhelmed I am feeling and how out of control things are spinning. I feel like I’m standing by a spool of ribbon as it unravels I am frantically running around and around trying to keep it pulled tight and together but somehow it keeps coming free no matter all of my efforts.

School, work, the benefit, and boys are pretty much haphazardly fighting for my time as I try to make it to spring break. Although the boys aren’t so much bothering me as my mind does as it wanders to them everytime I’m trying to focus on schoolwork and the more important things.
This Wednesday is my second Agricultural Bio-Chemistry test and let me tell you its not going to be easy. I had to work my ass off for the B I got on the first one.

This weekend was good, but it didn’t work out as planned. I was supposed to go camping to meet the “Boy” that I’ve mentioned, but of course the place got changed and then it was too far to drive, and he didn’t go, and then I couldn’t go so we didn’t get to see each other.

But on a lighter note I got to hang out with boy number 2 at his frat house and it was pretty fun. Since I am not in a serious relationship this is totally justified and doable, I don’t want to see any evil looks. I’m young and I’m happy just playing the field. We drank wine and played call of duty 4 and then we just hung out and what ever happened happened. No comment.

But boy number 2 is in the army and he leaves the first week of May for his last few months of training before he heads to Iraq. This makes this double justifiable because he should have some fun before he heads to war right? And how can I say no to a cute soldier boy?

The boys are definately going to have to wait though. There are many more pressing matters. Like priority one: The AgBio test. ITs time for me to get back to work.

But, before I go there is one piece of advice I’m going to leave you with.

Silence speaks louder than words.

Kindly unspoken
You show your emotion
And silence speaks louder than words
It’s lucky I’m clever
If I didn’t know better
I’d believe only that which I’d heard.
