Painting flowers white never suited my palette

Quick update.

I got grounded. Laptop got taken away.

But... I snuck it back today so I'm hoping that my mother won't notice.

Oh the woes of being a rebellious 15 year old.

BUT. I managed to write out 500 words in about five minutes in my NaNo journal (and yes... my hand DID break off -_-) and I wrote out a few more drabbles during our PLAN test break on the back of my SSN form.

Now I'm getting together my character charts so that my inspiration can come back to me and I can start writing some more.

Ooh you haven't heard the last of me :)

NaNo is soo cloooose.

I have nothing.

Somebody needs to give me a swift kick in the arse to get me going. It's not even funny anymore, now it's just disgustingly pitiful.

I am the happiest NaNo-er alive.

After countless hours of wishing to die because I could not think of a decent plot... inspiration has finally knocked on my door.

And... I HAVE A PLOT.

Two of them, actually, which just makes things that much better. If one plot dies, I still have a backup!

*squee*

Bad part is, I only have roughly 16 days to plan out an entire novel, make charts, maps, outlines.

But I'm rearin' to go.

So it's time for Amanda's monthly depression to hit.

My arthritis is killing my hands. Surgery is looming ever closer (I don't ever want Summer to come) and I have no idea in hell what I am going to do for NaNoWriMo. Not a single idea. For some odd reason I can't even bring myself to look through my numerous RoughDraft files for the plots that I wrote down months ago.

I need my coffee. Badly. And I need to go to Barnes and Noble. Really badly.

I'm going back to sleep.

Woooow my LJ looks like complete shit.

Will make note to fix it later.

I'm getting a 20 volume Encyclopedia set this weekend, after I paint the other bookshelf. Will be quite awesome. Although, they can never hold a candle to that beautiful 20 vol. Oxford English Dictionary set that I want so dearly -_-

Oooh the woes of being a poor teenager.

I still need a job, a car, and a one way plane ticket to Italy.

Perhaps I should get started on that NaNo plot.

Procrastinator pride, eh?

My Grandpa's wake was today.

It' was the hardest thing I have ever had to go through in my life

I seriously almost passed out.

He looked so different.

Oh god.

I had to literally scream at myself to not climb out the bathroom window and hide in the cemetary. I couldn't take it.

I don't know what I'm going to do at the funeral tommorrow.

I really don't.

Ooh Snap. I finally made a livejournal. Well, another one, but seeing as my old one died many a month ago, it was time for a new one.

I'm sitting here, in my room, my cat attempting to sleep on my keyboard as I fretfully push him away, afraid that he will rename numerous icons like he did a few days ago. I'm listening to that WriMoRadio thing, wondering if you can put it onto an IPod. I really wish you could, it would be so much easier just to listen to these while I sit in my warm bed. God, it's so cold in here.

NaNoWriMo is now a month away, and I have absolutely nothing done. I told myself that I would begin planning and such three months ago, but I guess that idea failed miserably. I don't even have a decent plot to write.

Ugh.

I should sleep, but I won't.
