As some of you know, I am taking AP Language and Composition this year, which is essentially just reading stories and analyzing them/commenting on various styles of language. Needless to say, it is enjoyable, that is, minus the dumb people. (Un)Fortunately, it is one of the easiest AP classes, so there are a lot of dumb people in the class who say dumb things just to get some AP credit.
But on the ever-so-faint bright side, I will get to do a lot of writing and whatnot, so I will be posting various essays and snippets on here for feedback and whatnot. The teacher made it very clear to us that this was NOT a fiction writing class and a lot of people took this to mean that it was not a creative writing class, but this is not true, because ALL writing is creative writing. Also I believe that there is no such thing as TRUE fiction, but this is another rant for another day.
I am in one of those moods where I really like people. It won't last long, but it's there.
Oh! Banned Book Week is coming up, I plan to read Lolita, because I haven't yet. But we still have another week, so I should be able to fit in another book between then and now.
I think that is it, until next time.

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder
Hello Dearies,
It has been 8 months since I have last written a journal, and nothing and everything has happened all at once. I would ask for forgiveness for this "hiatus" but I haven't really been gone, just sneaking around unnoticed. I wish I could say that I was out on an amazing and artful adventure, but I have barely left my bedroom. Such is the life of a blogger. Whatever Sometimes I post quick writes and life updates on there, but mostly it's just Supernatural gifsets. If you have a Tumblr, you might wanna follow. This is a low pressure environment. Don't take me too seriously.
I guess I'll be going to college soon, and if it takes
In Which the Author Cries about the Thunder
It's storming and raining and thunder is booming and my cat is running around and hiding underneath everything. Rain is seen as all romantic and crap, and manic-pixie dream boys often frequent thunderstorms, but it's not fun--it's wet and you don't want a manic-pixie dream boy anyway.
And now a warning:
I'm going to be doing FFM in July, and this is great and whatever (though I have a false notion that it will be easier than NaNo. The NaNo novel isn't supposed to be good, my flash fiction is supposed to be quality writing seeing as I usually write flash fiction. OhIfeelsomuchpressure.) So anyway, this is why I will be clogging up your inbox
In Which the Author Reads Poetry
So I decided to read some of my poetry on my less-than-adequate webcam and put it on my Tumblr.
(I'm calling it Spoken Word, but it's not spoken word in the sense that one usually thinks of Spoken Word.)
So here it is, and I am no longer able to hide behind a cloak of anonymity.

Feel free to follow my Tumblr, but I will warn you, my fangirl side comes through rather prevalently.

In Which the Author Shows Off Some Stuff
Hello! One day I will write a journal where I talk about nice things instead of just making announcements and showing off things, but that day is not today.
First off, I was featured in DLD's Saturday Spotlight last weekend, you can go read it and laugh at the things I say. But you should favorite the journal and say nice things. DLD is such a great organization doing great things for all sorts of people. http://dailylitdeviations.deviantart.com/journal/The-Saturday-Spotlight-293222482
Secondly, LigoGren (https://www.deviantart.com/ligogren), being an awesome person, made this awesome piece of artwork inspired by -my- piece The Doctor. You should all go favorite her piece

"minus the dumb people." Haha. I really hate that, too.
