Teens Writing for Teens, the 5th

When I told the dog that my brother's going to be back late today, she got all depressed.

I was just about to say the same thing Ari did. I actually kinda love punnett squares. ...Until you get into the ones with like a dozen variables....

Those ones ARE in fact the devil.

I think I'll ask my teacher for help understanding them before I take the test.
Today is just not a good day, you know?
I'm also like... annoyingly grumpy which sucks.

The dog is mad. Seriously.

Well, I'm off to print a paper and go do some social dancing (unless we're doing swing. My knees can't handle swing today )! Catch y'all later!

I think the review for my Japanese final is going to kill me. I still have like 5 pages of it to go.

Bye!!

I would much sooner be writing Sticks and Stones than the short story, but the short story is for uni...

ETA: That is definately a case of "Ugh!", Ari.

Yeah, schoolwork comes first.

Really, I would have gotten this crap done over Saturday/Sunday but I spent those two days in crappy emotional turmoil, sooooo it didn't happen.

I have to babysit tomorrow and Thursday. Blah. I like the money, but I am not hyper enough to run around with children all day. I still have to figure out how to do homework while I'm watching them.

Yeah, I mean, once I've done the first draft of it, I might work on the other piece of creative writing coursework, depending on when it is. The novel at the moment is a side project for when I finish drafts of my creative stuff, for during breaks. I am not spending all day working on essays and features!

You make them sit down and watch Disney movies. Or they can dance around and watch Disney movies. The emphasis here is really just on the Disney movies.

Disney or cartoons. I say no more.

I know, that was my first thought. But their mother doesn't like them watching TV for longer than like 30 min. at a time.

A bunch of short cartoons?

That's lame. Disney marathons are the best things ever.

I know, but...

I KNOW. Would you trust them with something like an iPad or iPod touch?

There's this show they have on Netflix instant that's like 10 minutes an episode. It's narrated by Stephen Fry.

ETC- Nope. They're not touching my iPod. xD They're 2.5 and 4.5.

OK, fair point.

Crayons and lots of paper?

The mother doesn't trust the 2 year old with crayons. I watched them last week, and it basically consisted of tons of bike rides (in which I don't have a bike there so I have to run after them the whole time), jumping around to Disney music in the living room, playing with play doh, and running around the house. They have so much energy.

ETC- School time. ttyl.

Oh.

Hmmm....

Oooh, I forgot to post this!

I ordered Boy Meets Boy by David Levithan as I need to read it for uni by late March and I'm hoping it will help me with Sticks and Stones. It arrived this morning and I'm hoping to start reading it soon. :3

Jealous! I wish I could read Boy Meets Boy for uni. I love that book.

Just wanted to say hi before the college vortex sucks me back up for another three weeks. I've only been off break for one day and I already feel like I'm about to be crushed.

D:

Yeah, I'm doing Writing and Publishing for Children and Young Adults. I also have to read NOUGHTS AND CROSSES and HOW I LIVE NOW, among others.

Hi guys, trying to decide whether to put my query paragraph in Query Letter Hell... *sigh*

Still putting the finishing touches on my WIP otherwise.

Hi, Dragon.

I'm trying to find new songs for Sticks and Stones via Last.fm and working on my children's short story.

Hoping the music hunt is going well, along with the work on the children's short.
