Happy Odin's Day

So I'm seventeen now. 

Stiles Stilinski. AKA The-only-reason-I-watch-Teen-Wolf

I was going to do a blog post on Monday - My Birthday. A big epic one with lots of pictures. 

As you can see that didn't make it off my bucket list.

Heh.

It was a good birthday though. I spent it NOT doing writing, but listening to music and jotting down answers to American Government and bashing socialism into the ground. 

WELCOME TO NEW YORK!!!!

IT'S BEEN WAITING FOR YOU

WELCOME TO NEW YORK, WELCOME TO NEW YORK!!!!

Btw, I really like Taylor's new CD. Just sayin.

I finished school pretty early and My Lovely Friend Sammie B. came over for the night. We had  this lovely ham dinner which was yummy and had tasty potatoes in it. Then we had coffee and cake and tea and I opened pressies. I got this epic Gladiator book from my Dear friend Jimmy (which I am so essited about!!!) and I got lots of nice chocolate and epic little coffees (AND FLAVORINGS!!) and I got these adorable tights that look like something you'd find on Amy Pond. All blue and soft and Doctor Who-y.

They're Doctor Who tights okay? 

I'm wearing them now

I love them. 

Then I watched Maze Runner for the third time. It's just as brilliant as always. I love that movie. So much. I mean.... Thomas 8-) The thing still hurts of course. It hurts a lot. OH AND NOW I HAVE TONS OF NEWT FEELS TOO I WAS NOT A HAPPY PERSON.

We played this weird game. You had to do things like sit on shoes and talk about yourself in the third person and play pick a boo with people who called you by name. 

It was a good birthday.

UPDATE OF THE WEEK!!!!!!!!

I'm taking an Acting For the Camera class. 

One minute I'm like....

YAY ACTING

The next minute I'm like...

MY TEACHER IS TERRIFYING

The Acting Teacher is a little intense. And she kind of freaks me out. but I love acting and the Community College is the only place in town that I can act so I have to take her with the acting. She's a very nice person. She is just kind of an ACTING MUST BE YOUR LIFE teacher. And she doesn't give you much breathing room. You either SWIM or you SINK and there is no in between. Acting is big and intense. You had better want it, dang it!!!! YOU BLEED OR YOU LEAVE.

Yes I used this gif just for Newt. Don't judge me.

I've also been making epic videos in my new video maker and feeling excited cause you can sharpen it and brighten it and slash it and change its color and add dialogue at several points and add granite and dust and scratchy lines so it looks like an old movie and it looks SO. PERTY. I have to be careful how much time I spend on it cause I'm just SNIP - ADD VIDEO - SNIP - BRIGHTEN VIDEO....

VIDEO MAKING IS EPICNESS

I opened up Splintered Courage again and I am EDITING. (laughs crazily) I'm finishing Broken Turst also, and I have one chapter left in the Conspiracy of Thrones. It should be finished by the end of the week. I know of some people who want to read it and I'm thinking of maybe doing an auction? I don't know, I will have to see. Maybe I should try sending my books into publishers too cause I've been told they're good. Just as soon as I finish twelfth grade and past this terrifying acting class and read the six or eight books lying neglected at the bottom of my bed....

CAUSE WE'RE YOUNG AND WE'RE RECKLESS....!!!

I've started Watching Flashpoint.

GREG!!!!!!!

EDDIE!!!!!!

JULES!!!!!!

SAM!!!!!!!

SPIKE!!!!!

WORDY!!!

LOU!!!!!!!

..........

he needs more explanation points. 

LOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This show is so good on so many levels. You cry a lot but usually its not a BAD crying. The team is just so brave and kind and wonderful and what they do is so amazing and emotional you can't help but cry. It's about this... SRU Unit which is a handpicked team of elite cops that are different from any other SWAT team out there. They take on situations that have reached their peak and go in with the incentive to 'Connect. Respect. Protect." They want to help the people who are in trouble, and that includes the prosecutor. They want to talk down the Prosecutor, not kill him. They don't go lethal until absolutely necessary. They're awesome. Sometimes the stories can be really sad. Sometimes they can be really painful. But they always end hopeful. There are only a couple that are legitimately depressing, and with those you have to watch the next one to feel better. But most of the time it just gives you hope and emotional crying. It's really good. And its really clean. Super clean. The worst they get is this one kissing scene that is kind of long, but nothing happens. Its squeaky clean.

EPIC FAMILY FEELS

EPIC TEAM FEELS

EPIC BRO FEELS

EPIC BRO/SIS FEELS

EPIC OTP FEELS

SAD FEELS

BROKEN FEELS

SWEET HAPPY FEELS.

THIS IS SO GOOD! *sobs* SO SO GOOD

I love Flashpoint. As you can see.

See this post? this is why I should post more than once a week. I'm just like "HI!!! *DUMPS A BUNCH OF RANDOMNESS ON YOU* BYEEEEE!

I have a book to read and tea to drink and a cold to sooth. I also have to watch SHIELD later.

Shield.... *headdesk* Yeah that is stressing me out. So is Grimm. And I'm mad at Doctor Who. And Supernatural. (THAT SHOW IS SO DUMB) And The-One-I-Only-Watch-For-Stiles is on hiatus.

 Remind me not to watch so many shows at once. It can't be good for me.

But whatever I love them.

Watch Flashpoint.

PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!!!!

"I've got the baby here," Imogene barked at the Wise Men. "Don touch him! I named him Jesus.”

HAPPY EPIPHANY PEASANTS! *waves emphatically*

In case there is anyone who doesn't know what Epiphany I'm gonna do a brief little talk on it. (If you do know just skip this bit)

Epiphany is the day that The Three Wiseman found the Christ Child with Mary and Joseph and brought Him gifts. We have a tradition in my family, where we put on present aside on Christmas Morning to save them for the Epiphany. That way we have The Twelve Days of Christmas and there is still something under the tree and its still feels magical.

Then on the Epiphany the Wisemen leave us all a little present under the tree.

WISEMAN ARE AMAZING.

I love the Ephipahny.

I now have an amazing Make-up Kit and a the first half of the Attolia Series. (EUGENIDES!!!!)

I've been trying to finish my book I was working on during NaNoWriMo. It has been a pain. I can't get my last chapter to work and it is irking me. I am IRKED. So ... I'm giving it a small break and writing up my plans for the Baxter Family. This story does not have a name yet, but I do have a rough plot and I am very excited. It is a family story and there's lots of brothers and sisters and its fun. They make me happy. I love them. I am going to post about them soon but it's too late tonight. I just wanted you all to know that I am still alive and .... yeah. Just a hi.

Oh, and one more thing. I'm also taking an Acting For Camera class.

Yeah.

I'm a little freaked. But its fun.

I have to do a scene on film. A scene with someone I don't know.

*SCREAMS*

That's it.

I'm tired. I have to go to bed. PEACE OUT Y'ALL.

The Pro's and Con's of being a NaNo Writer

PRO: NaNo-ing forces you to write even if you don't feel like it, something everyone needs every now and then.

CON: You have to write for a long time every day and it's really, really hard.

PRO: You get to hide in your room all day and not be social and drink tea and wrap yourself in blankets because you're writing and you deserve it.

CON: My room is really really cold.

PRO: You get to crawl into bed and wear cool gloves while you write.

CON: The room is still really really cold.

PRO: You can yell at people when they open the door and then giggle about it

CON: You get super cranky.

PRO: You can threaten to write people you don't like into your book if they don't behave.

CON: this doesn't always work. Sometimes they just get mad at you

PRO: You get to write to your hearts content. All you have to do is say "IT'S NANO!" and your family will back off. (at least mine will)

CON: You start becoming editor-happy and have to force yourself not to hit backspace. Like EVER. And that is really, really hard. I hate my inner editor.

PRO: You get to spend a whole month creating and exploring characters

CON: My characters.......

PRO: You get those exciting moments where you just know that you have GOT this and you re going to finish and you're going to win and it's AWESOME.

CON: These moments of buzz don't last long.

PRO: This is November and everything smells good and it's just the right time of year to be inspired.

CON: Inspiration can be hard to come by. pretty soon your mind starts short-circuiting.

PRO: But it's okay! THIS IS NANO! YOU CAN WRITE FREAKING ANYTHING

CON: You stay up way longer than you should. Tip guys. Don't write and be on totally obsesed with a Fandom at the same time. It isn't good for you're blood pressure.

SLEEP IS DUMB

PRO: You get to tell people you are doing NaNo and watch their eyes get wide with horror and awe. "Wow!  Is it.... hard?"

"Nope. not all." *smirk*


CON: You Realize you have ten days left and you are on the finishing stretch and have no inspiration and you start panicking because you need 50,0000 words at the end of the month!

This is about the time you start to lose your already addled mind.

SCREAMS

PRO: You take a breath and try to remember this is just a writing boost for you and it doesn't matter if you don't finish. Just have fun. FUN!

CON: It's hard to remember that when you know you only have ten days left to reach your count.

PRO: You have hundreds of writing buddies doing this with you. You're not alone, you have help and support. YOU CAN DO THIS!

CON: Having Writers block. In NaNoWriMo.

PRO: I DON'T THINK YOU HEARD ME. WRITERS. BLOCK. DURING NANO!!!!

...............

PRO; It's Nano. And as awful as NaNo is amazing. and wonderful. and challenging. and exciting. You get to meet other writers. you get to write a whole novel and it's freaking EPIC.


HAVE A LOVELY WEEKEND! PEACE OUT Y'ALL!!!
