So do any of you guys ever judge yourself too harshly when it comes to your writing, and it sort of becomes a scary thing to sit down and write again? That's kind of what I'm dealing with right now. I have this kind of grand world I'm building, and I'm in love with it. But I'm terrified as to how it would work, if I missed something, or if it simply isn't good enough. So I've hidden it away and I'm hiding from it. I spent months working on it, and now it scares me. How on Earth did Tolkien do it? So here's a penguin to lighten the mood. I guess I really just need encouragement with my writing right now. Maybe someone to not judge me and give honest feed back for what I've done thus far.

I know, I know. I'm easily distracted, and I keep neglecting you all. I'm sorry. You know I love you. But I did learn today that profits from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon album went to funding Monty Python and the Holy Grail. And now for something completely different... This man. This man right here. He is my new favorite. Between Sherlock and Into Darkness, I'm giddy as a schoolgirl to hear him as a dragon. He's got an odd sort of look to him, but I'm starting to think that's what I'm attracted to anyways. He grows on you. I'll even leave you guys with this little gem, if you share my attraction to him. -PaigeApproaching the end of my first year of college kind of makes me look back and try and see why I hated high school so much. Of course, there's all the drama, and other's immaturity, but I can't help feeling like a lot of my issues in high-school were self-created, and I just didn't realize it. I was an emotional wreck all the time, and very hard to deal with. I was always angsty about the fact that because I moved, I didn't come into high school with a best friend already, so I was irrationally angry at everyone I met that had this best friend that they had been with since they were in diapers, simply out of jealousy. And because I was so angry and wanted so desperately to have this best friend to hang out with all the time, and to talk to, I tried way too hard to be friends with everybody, and got jealous if they spent time with anyone else. Long story short, I was angry, jealous, and possessive, and having all these negative, pent-up emotions really made me as miserable as everyone else was miserable around me. That's just a summary of what I really regret most about high school, though. I was too scared of not having friends to really just be myself. -PaigeSo, potatoes grow little round green fruits that look like tomatoes. Don't eat them, though, they contain neurotoxin. Yikes. So, I found these latte art evees online, and now I really want to learn how to do all this stuff. Sounds like a neat trick to impress guests in the morning. And drinkable art. And coffee. Mmm, coffee... I've also been having a bit too much fun on THIS dog shaming site. Next time I see my dog (sorry, Butch), you're getting shamed. I'm sure I can find something incriminating. Tennis ball peeling, terrible farts... Something.
Fun Fact; Chocolate milk performs better than most energy drinks for keeping you awake. See? And, if any of you love me, you'll take me to Who-Fest. But, continuing, spring break is fast approaching, and since I don't get to go on some awesome Florida vacation, everyone should send me bottles of sand. Deal? Deal.
But I want to hear what you guys have been up to. Lets talk about you guys. How have you been? ... Is your mom doing well? ... You look beautiful today. ... Nice talking to you! We should chat more often. I love our talks. So crows are creepy, right? Well, maybe it's just me, but this just made them a whole lot creepier. Crows can remember a human face for up to two years, and they'll warn other crows if you're dangerous. Yikes. I've been having some fun, though. I know I'm behind, but I've found this app called iMadeFace and I'm just kind of having a blast making cartoon heads on it. It's free, and if you have some free time, it's a nice time waster. Today has also been a day that warrants excessive use of the band Foreigner, who, for those of you uneducated in the ways of 80's hair metal, penned such illustrious numbers as Jukebox Hero and Hot Blooded. And how could you not love that hair? Enjoy your weekend, folks. I'll be trying to make my hair feel as though it belongs in this photo. Goodnight! -Paige
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, guys. It was a touch hectic. Fun Fact; Drinking lemonade can keep kidney stones from forming. When life hands you lemons, you prevent kidney stones. Thanks, life! I did find this today, though, and found it quite amusing. The Whoniverse is pretty good about that.
I'm on my 3rd cup of coffee this morning. And my eyes still keep trying to close on me. Naptime is closing in. Morale is low. Interesting fact of the day: There is a gas cloud in space with enough alcohol in it to produce over 400 trillion pints of beer. Check it out. I'm presently waiting in line to meet with my adviser to make sure I have my spring course schedule all set up and laid out. Gotta make sure my classes are all geared up. Wired classes make everything confusing. I'll be doing those writing prompts you guys gave me on the Facebook page later tonight, so keep an eye out for those. It's gonna happen, promise! Also, if you guys happen to be in/around the Shelbyville area this weekend, Light Up Shelbyville is going on! It's tons of fun, if yet also tons of cold. But this comes out today; And I want to see it so badly. I know I'm not much of a movie geek, and I've not seen a Bond movie before (I know, I've been living under a rock), but this really does look good, and I'd like to see it. So no spoilers, ok? I've got places to go, though, so catch you guys this afternoon for the writing prompts. -PaigeLet's all take a moment and be thankful that spiders cannot fly. But, what I had forgotten, was a shameless plug for an awesome movie. But yeah. It's awesome. Give it a look-see, eh? And keep an eye out here for The Hepburn Girls news, since it's also by the same group, but has me in it, and therefore is 20% cooler. -PaigeFun fact of the day: In the Catholic faith, Saint Isidore of Seville is known as the patron saint of the internet. Seriously. Random Thought: 6 o'clock is way too early for it to be dark out. It's tricking my brain into thinking I need to go to bed. Anyways, now to the topic at hand; I'm hard at work on my first college paper, and as I work tonight, I'm more or less using this blog post to channel my ADD in a positive manner. 1.) Work on paper 2.) Channel random thoughts into blog post 3.) ??? 4.) PROFIT!!! For those of you curious, the paper is a comparison between the life of the Greek hero, Heracles, and that of local American/Kentucky hero, Daniel Boone. It's not too incredibly difficult. Source finding was a pain in the hindquarters, but once I found a few and got an outline put together, everything has kind of fallen into place since then. The two seem to have many parallels. Convenient, huh? But, for me at least, in more exciting news.... Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh deary me. *Nerdgasm* I know, I know. Fangirl warning next time, obikaybe? Anyways, I'm playing this game on the X-Box, so this means that as soon as this comes out, it's ALL MINEEEE! :D The benefits of playing via X-Box, huh? Anyways, now that I've shared that, I'm getting all distracted from my paper, so adios! -Paige |
