If you have a spare moment (or seven), cruise on over to youtube and listen to Randy Harrison being freaking fantastic as Lucky in the Berkshire Theatre Festival's production of Waiting for Godot. Even people who didn't think much of BTF's take on the play thought that Randy's monologue was amazing, so go listen. Seriously.

That's all for the moment. I'll update again when I get around to it. Ciao!

Nothing much going on, writing-wise, or at least nothing I can/will post. Maybe I'll dig something out of one of my folders. We'll see. I make no promises.

1. Choose a few of your own characters. Five at the most.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people. (not doing this part)

Characters Chosen:
Brian
Aidan
Lily
Tiernan
Cait

1) How old are you?
Brian: *eyes uncertainly* 24
Aidan: I'm almost 18! See if Brigid can treat me like a little kid then!
Lily: *glares* That's not very polite. And anyway, where have you been? There was an enormous party for my twenty-second birthday.
Tiernan: Don't mind her. She's a bit rude if she feels you're asking stupid questions. Anyway, I'm 25.
Cait: *smiles* I'm two days older than Brian.

2) Height?
Brian: *chuckles* As tall as that guy. It's a little strange actually, I've never met anyone my height.
Tiernan: *glances at Brian* We're both about 6'3
Lily: You two are so obnoxious. I'm 5'5
Cait: I'm a shocking 5'8
Aidan: Thank my sweet goddess, I'm 6' and taller than the women. *head in hands*

3) You got any bad habits?
Brian: *smirks*
Aidan: *looks at Brian from under eyelashes* Nothing I'm going to tell you about.
Cait: *smiles at Brian and Aidan* Everyone has bad habits. I yell at my best friend sometimes, when he's trying his best not to mess things up. I just get so frustrated.
Lily: Of course not. I have to set a good example for my brothers and sisters, never mind all the people I'm responsible for.
Tiernan: *shakes head* You would not believe the list I've got, and this one's bad habits *points at Lily* include lying.

4) You a virgin?
Aidan: *blushes*
Brian: *laughs* Not since I was 14. *smiles a little too knowingly at Aidan* He won't answer, but go ahead and mark him down in the non-virgin category.
Cait: Ask Brian. He'll be happy to give you all the details.
Lily: *blushes* I cannot believe you have the gall to ask me that.
Tiernan: No. And give Lily some time. Eventually she'll be able to admit it.

5) Who's your mate/spouse?
Aidan: ...um. I'm not sure if I can...
Brian: *slings an arm around Aidan's shoulders* Figure it out for yourself.
Cait: I don't have one. I'm not sure I would want one either.
Lily: Well, I don't really -- I mean, Tiernan and I are sort of -- I think we're going to get married and --
Tiernan: *interrupts* Oh, for fuck's sake. Yes, Lily and I are going to get married. Eventually.

6) Have any kids?
Brian: Hell no.
Aidan: *stares* I'm 17.
Cait: I agree with Brian.
Lily: Honestly. Of course I don't. I'm not even married!
Tiernan: *sighs* Not yet. Do try to relax, won't you, Lily?

7) Favorite food?
Brian: Aidan's --
Aidan: *claps hand over Brian's mouth* If I'm bored, sometimes I make this really delicious pasta that we both love.
Cait: *snorts* Anyway. I like salad. And the pasta's not half bad, either.
Tiernan: Steak. I love steak.
Lily: I think I have to say bacon.

8) Favorite ice cream flavor?
Brian: *smirks* I don't eat ice cream unless it's on --
Aidan: Thank you, Brian, for your input. Vanilla is definitely our favorite.
Cait: Strawberry is delicious.
Lily: *shrugs* I like the kinds with candy in. Or cookie dough.
Tiernan: I'm not terribly picky. Generally I just get vanilla, though.

9) Killed anyone?
Brian: Nope.
Aidan: No. My sister has, though.
Cait: *glares at Aidan* You're not supposed to talk about that. And no, I haven't.
Lily: Of course not.
Tiernan: Yeah, but can we not talk about that? I didn't enjoy it.

10) Hate anyone?
Brian: All the fucking idiots who insist on gossiping about me. Oh, and my parents.
Aidan: Not in particular, no.
Cait: I'm not really fond of Brian's parents, either.
Lily: My mother. She's so annoying.
Tiernan: There are a few people. Mostly that creep who -- well, actually, I shouldn't really be talking about him that way. Could get me in a hell of a lot of trouble.

11) Any secrets?
Brian: You didn't think I told everyone everything, did you?
Aidan: *blushes* Yes.
Cait: Nothing mind-blowing. Brian knows most of it, anyway.
Lily: Not really.
Tiernan: Yeah, sure. Lily could tell you pretty much everything about me, though.

12) Love anyone?
Brian: *smiles just a little*
Aidan: *grins* Yeah, definitely.
Cait: I'm not in love with anyone, if that's what you're asking.
Lily: I think so.
Tiernan: Yes.

13) TACOS?
Brian: What are you smoking?... ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/15971840/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/15971840/ Mon, 17 Dec 2007 11:18:44 PST _<

At any rate, life's just peachy. Might post a few drabbles I did when I was bored one day. Definitely not going to post any of the other stuff I've been working on. Three guesses why. Finally did NaNoWriMo this November. Been meaning to do it for-freaking-ever, but I never had the time. Ended up with 50,123 words or something like that. Up to 56,000 or thereabouts now. Yeah, I'm a slacker. On the other hand, 50,000 words didn't even get me halfway through the plot, so. I've got a ways to go. Yes, I'm insane, I realize this. On the plus side, I love writing these particular characters, even if one of them has a penchant for being a total asshole, especially where his not-my-boyfriend-it's-just-sex is concerned (he has issues, can you tell?).

What else? I'm trilingual now. Sort of. Hablo español. Je parle français. And I speak English. Joy to the world. It's actually kind of awesome...I keep running into people speaking Spanish all over the effing place. Like at Belk the other day, where some lady was telling her friend that these socks were "Feo, feo, feo" and I was standing there trying not to crack up because, you know, they really were ugly. And then she started complaining about los colores. *sigh* I get such a kick out of the things people say. Then there's my Spanish teacher, who will call her friend Lupita and watch me watch her, and then ask me how much I understood, once she gets off the phone. That's fun.

Logan recognizes about half of the alphabet. Keep in mind, he's only 27 months, and he can read the letters. And he's totally potty-trained (thank God). He is speaking almost fluently (close to what you would expect from a four-year-old, except in pronunciation), and I can't see him without him making some comment about what a cool color my shirt is or something like that. His favorite saying: Good gravy. Yes, he actually says that, and who knows where he picked that up. Morgan, our resident 2nd grader, is reading at about the 7th grade level. Matthew, the 4th grader, is learning to play the violin, plus he's playing soccer and he wants to play basketball. Blowing his teacher away in math, testing consistently above grade level (now if he'd just memorize his mult. tables).

In other news, the main English professor here is a frigging idiot. For some reason he allows us to choose our own topics for research papers and lets us be as creative as we want. You get to the higher-level classes, where the actual creative papers are supposed to come, and what does he do? Gives us the most boring, narrow topics ever and wants us to write on just that, no deviations. It drives me insane. Dr. Lokrantz, on the other hand, was a big believer in, "Here's a general topic, knock my socks off with your brilliance." That's what higher-level English classes are supposed to be about, but apparently Mr. English Teacher doesn't get that.

Then there's the "Oh, well, I love Wordworth, so we're gonna spend two weeks on him and screw all the other poets and authors," attitude, which really pisses me off. Wordsworth is tedious. As is Frost, the other poet Mr. English Teacher worships. He doesn't like Dickinson and he totally shorted her because of it, and that kind of crap makes me want to rip hearts out and sacrifice them to the poetry gods. It's totally unfair to skip over an author or poet just because the teacher doesn't like them. I hate Frost and Wordsworth, but my complaint is not that we had to read them (and watch a video, in Frost's case) but that we had to spend two weeks on them when Dickinson didn't even get two hours' worth of attention. When we did read her, he couldn't interpret what was going on in half the poems, even the ones that were obvious. Argh.

Let's see...my cousin Kev is home from Iraq, thank God, and my cousin Chad is home from Korea. At least until they ship him out to Iraq again, which they're almost certainly gonna do. Helicopter mechanics are a wee bit handy out there. Cousin Jenn's home from Romania. Mom's dad died on February 28th. Dad's step-dad is now stuck in a wheelchair and permanently on oxygen. Apparently I'll be lucky if I make it to the end of the year with one grandfather. Um. Cousin Danielle is pregnant with her second little one. Had doubts about her parenting abilities to begin with, but Andrea is well-behaved, despite a bit of attitude (totally expected in this family). Little Meeka is six years old -- how on earth did that happen? -- and giving Miranda fits, which everyone ag... ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/11155793/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/11155793/ Fri, 22 Dec 2006 21:56:15 PST
Hard to find time to write anything when you're playing mommy all day, then have classes, and then get to come home and try to help keep the house clean. So really, I haven't written anything except some (apparently brilliant) essays for Lit. In related news, aced all my classes, no surprise there...god how I wish this stuff was challenging.

Anyway, if I get my act together sometime soon, you might actually see me post something. If I'm really motivated, I might even get a pic of Logan up here; the internet sorely needs his cuteness. Seriously, without bias, I think he is one of the most beautiful babies ever. People comment on his looks everywhere he goes. Blond hair + blue eyes + tall = gorgeous Logan.

Going to visit my grandparents tomorrow (kill me please, so I don't have to put up with the obnoxiousness), and then Monday we're going to go see my mom's side of the family. Cousin Kev is finally home from Germany (and Iraq, of course), so he'll be there Cousin Chad is married *faints* He's off to Korea in March, assuming the army doesn't decide to ship him back off to Iraq instead.

Gah. Yeah, that's as far as the brain gets away from baby, so now I'm off to bed. Goodnight, all.

Writer's block is still fairly firmly in place. I can write essays but not fiction x_x It's irritating.

In other news, classes are over! Granted, I've only been going for one semester, but damn are they boring. English was torture, and Intro. to Comp. was just as bad...Psych wasn't too bad, but I've been there, done that.

Anywho, that's my update. TTFN! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7874271/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7874271/ Sun, 12 Feb 2006 13:49:36 PST
Sorta had fun at Chuck E Cheese. Got to see everyone from Mom's office, which was nice. Autumn didn't want to open her presents! *dies laughing* What kind of 3-year-old doesn't want to open presents? Her mom ended up opening all but three of them herself. Probably better that way, because she managed to write down who brought Autumn what, so I'm thinking thank-you notes will be finding their way to people within the week. Lots of My Little Pony, Cabbage Patch Kids, Care Bears, and Dora the Explorer.

Yesterday sucked...babysat the demon kids again, and...yeah. Murder is illegal in all 50 states, unfortunately. What kind of parent gives their kid the impression that it is okay to throw cucumbers? In the house??? Seriously. Because they threw a freaking cucumber at each other...and it burst, and got seeds everywhere. Which they had to clean up, by the by, but still. Major discipline problems, those three have.

Et tu, Brute? My cat is a traitor. Every time my mom sits down, he wants to hop up in her lap...he prefers to follow me around and mew at me, as if he's some pathetic little kitten who never gets any attention. I pay attention to him, he trots off in another direction. *rolls eyes* stupid cat

Ah well. TTYL. ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7790120/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7790120/ Fri, 03 Feb 2006 12:49:17 PST
But...Luna, Bellatrix, Mrs. Figg, and Tonks have all been cast, and Umbridge has been confirmed. How awesome is that? [link] Filming for Phoenix begins Monday! We're looking at a 2007 release date, which is awesome...Might be the best Potter year yet, if Jo manages to have a certain book done by then...

House is finally gonna be back on the air Tuesday (gah, I freaking hate Fox for kicking it off so American Idol, of all things, can be on). And um...oh, I'm babysitting every week, so I get to see my babies all the time...Morgan and Logan...dude, he's getting big, and he might be able to start trying to stand sometime soon. He can already sit up, and he's only just turned five months (this is a six month or later thing).

Classes suck, as usual. Geography is boring as hell (who wants to sit through 18 pages of the prof's notes about Africa? *snores*) and Human Comm is torture...I love the people in my Human Comm class, I just can't stand the subject. I already know how to communicate, and I don't intend to ever be giving speeches in the future so what the hell do I need this class for? Grr.

Going to Chuck E. Cheese next weekend lol The 2-year-old I babysit is having her b-day party and I'm invited so...I can't believe my little Autumn is turning 3. Let's see...oh, going horseback riding with my mom's entire office sometime this month, if we can get reservations. Freaking awesome There's a good 10 people going, and that's not counting our more frail people who can't ride because they have ten million different medical problems (they'll be taking a carriage ride).

We're hoping to get Morgan and Logan's mom to come along; I really hope she'll want to go because omg she is my bestest friend. lmao okay, not really, but she is a friend, and it'll be nice to go somewhere without little Miss "I'm so neglected" (because Mommy spends more time with Logan) and Mr. "I want my mommy" (he cries when she's gone, almost constantly) hanging around all the time. I love them dearly, but putting up with a needy 5 month old and a spoiled 6 year old isn't something you want to do all the time.

Anyway, that's the (condensed) version of my life lately, so ttyl. ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7614683/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7614683/ Sun, 15 Jan 2006 20:38:44 PST "['You seem to think, mine honest friend,' he said quietly, 'that these Frenchmen -- spies I think you called them -- are mighty clever fellows to have made mincemeat, so to speak, of your friend] Mr. Peppercorn's opinions.

*sigh* so I really haven't been writing at all for the past month or two...or three. There's a few really old things I typed up the other day on the laptop, and I suppose eventually I'll put them up here.

Started classes Monday...boring, as expected. Hopefully the writing I'm forced to do will make me start writing voluntarily again. We'll see.

Probably going to see Tristan and Isolde this weekend. Hoping that they didn't butcher the original story (it being probably 2,000 years old), which was really quite good.

Nothing much else to say...just updating to let you know I'm still alive lol TTFN! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7480913/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7480913/ Sun, 01 Jan 2006 16:29:55 PST

That's awesome...I'm still kinda shaky...and smiling lol ^_^

In other news, babysitting tomorrow from 1-3, and next Saturday from like 12 onwards. My brother's got the SATs tomorrow morning, and is apparently going to ignore all advice from his math teacher. Watch as he gets a pitiful score from answering questions he doesn't know *shakes head*

I have much shopping to do. My darling Morgan's 6th birthday is Sunday (eek!) and I haven't got her a present yet. Then I have to buy presents for a couple of my cousins, my brother, all my little ones (God help me), and I should probably buy something for my parents and...the list goes on and on. And yet, I'm practically broke. Not cool.

No House this week, because of the Billboard Music Awards (stupid awards shows!!!). On the plus side, no Stacey either ^_^ NCIS should still be on, which is awesomeness, of course.

Kinda sorta getting past my writer's block (finally!) but I dunno that I'll be writing too much this month. After all, it is December. Family get-togethers, Christmas shopping, harrassing of small babes (only b/c they enjoy talking about what they want for Christmas lol), and freaking out because omg my cousins have seriously deserted me. I only had three (out of like...ten?) that were close to my age (meaning, aren't like 10 years older than me), and one is in Texas, one's in Romania, and the other is in Iraq.

Erm...that's it for now. TTFN! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7061271/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/7061271/ Wed, 16 Nov 2005 06:57:06 PST
I'm really bored. Siriusly Suppose I could go read a book (checked out Catch-22 from the library yesterday), but I don't know that I have enough concentration for that right now.

There's a Winter Story Writing contest in our 'local' paper (Florida Times-Union). I think I might enter, but I haven't really written anything, and the deadline is November 22nd. So I guess I will have to get over my current case of writer's block, or else dig up whatever winter stories I might have written in the past. We'll see.

GoF comes out in two days! *dies* I can't wait. Supposedly, it's "hands down the best film yet." According to Emerson over at Mugglenet, anyway, and I rather trust his opinion..."I'm thinking of a word that starts with D and ends with L. I've used it before. Three guesses." LMAO I do so enjoy his sarcastic comments.

so...that's it for now. ttyl ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6994310/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6994310/ Tue, 08 Nov 2005 19:45:50 PST

And the twenty or thirty clips I've seen of the movie are brilliant (yes, there really are that many floating around). I cannot wait for Nov. 18th...or the 15th either, since that's when the soundtrack comes out.

In other news, baseball is finally over, which means House is gonna be back on Quite happy about that.

Kinda bored here, so I'm gonna find something to do...hopefully. Night! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6690859/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6690859/ Wed, 05 Oct 2005 21:30:13 PDT
I haven't talked to any of my friends face-to-face for a good month, haven't talked to them on the phone or anything...but I'm in a wonderful mood It's weird. And lovely. And no, I'm not drunk or on drugs or anything lmao I'm just in a wonderful mood, and I have been for about a week now. I like it.

I still get angry easily (Irish!) but once the anger's gone, I'm back to being happy. A perpetual high. It is sooo great. And I know I sound like a broken record, but I don't care I wasn't even this happy when I graduated, or when I got my AP Physics exam grade, or when I gave my baby the very b-day present he wanted ^_^

I'm happy. Back to where I was two years ago, with more painful memories and less friends. But I'm so much more cheerful. Being away from people...is good for me. How's that for crazy? But it's true. I can only get myself figured out when I'm away from all you crazy buggers who do nothing but confuse me (no offense lol).

AHHH! It's nice to be alone. ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6674241/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6674241/ Tue, 04 Oct 2005 01:01:56 PDT I no longer feel so bad about saying I was gonna post stuff. Because I posted stuff, and it'll keep you all busy (if you actually go through and read it all lol).

It's Hughsday...pardon, Tuesday, and House shall not be on. *kicks Fox* Stupid baseball. I love to play baseball...or at least I did, when I was little. Was even on a little league team...but baseball has become my worst enemy. Nobody messes with my House *growls* At least NCIS will be on. But I just cannot believe I have to go a month without House and Hugh's prettiful blue eyes ^_^

'Tis raining. Pouring, actually. And yes, I know, I'm being rather random. So what? I enjoy it. Besides, it's 4 in the morning. That this journal is even coherent is an act of God. So you can just bite me It's raining. We had a squirrel in the garage earlier. The little buggers have gnawed a hole in the screen door we've got, and one of them got in. No idea what he was doing, as I saw him fluffing his tail on top of my brother's old couch. Hopefully he left the garage. I can't imagine dead squirrel smelling too pleasantly.

Random House-ness, because I am sooo obsessed lmao:

Wilson: At least I try.
House: Well, as long as you're trying to be good, you can do whatever you want.
Wilson: And as long as you're not trying, you can say whatever you want.
House: So between us we can do anything. We can rule the world!

Wilson: Dr. Cameron's getting to you. Well, I guess you can't be around that much niceness and not get any on you
House: Is that why you haven't put the moves on her?
Wilson: What makes you think I haven't put the moves on her?
House: [Stops and stares]
Wilson: [points] Oh.
[he's onto something big]
Wilson: [whispers] Oh boy! You're in trouble.
[laughs and exits]

Wilson: I love my wife.
House: You loved all your wives.

House: That's why you're here? She wants you to keep an eye on me, make sure I don't cheat.
Wilson: No, I wanted to make sure you don't start firing shots from the clock tower.

Can't you just feel the love? *smirks* Ah, so nice to watch a show with intelligence to it. Anyways...I'm bored now, so toodles! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6663746/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6663746/ Sun, 02 Oct 2005 21:07:09 PDT It's private, might show it to a few people, but I'm not posting it for the general public. And I know, I still haven't posted the other stuff I said I would. I'm a slacker of the worst kind.

House? so not coming on till maybe October 18th (and even then it'll only be a rerun!)...next new ep isn't till the 1st of November *whimpers* stupid Fox and stupid baseball. On the flip side, NCIS will still be on, and all is right in their world again...except for the whole Ari/Ziva (or however the hell you spell her name) thing. Cute that Tony's so interested in Ziva and her daddy lol

Anyways...I guess I'll try to get some actual work done tonight...you shall know if I don't lol...night, all. ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6550792/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6550792/ Mon, 19 Sep 2005 23:08:11 PDT

New season of House started last week and NCIS starts up again tomorrow...which is technically today but whatever. So who knows what I'll get up to in the coming week. I'm going crazy right now b/c having to wait till 8 tonight is just...horrible. 18 hours *sigh*

My dad seems to think that I don't understand calculus as well as I think I do. Okay, and who's the one who got a 4 on the AP test? Sure as hell wasn't you, Dad. And he's convinced that he can teach me the stuff I didn't understand in physics...as if he, with no patience to speak of, could teach me better than someone who not only has loads of patience but also gives a damn about me. Parents suck.

Anyway, ttyl peoples. ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6472573/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6472573/ Sun, 11 Sep 2005 00:05:06 PDT [] I am a dancer

CAMERON [to Chase]: Sex...could kill you. Do you know what the human body goes through when you have sex? Pupils dilate, arteries constrict, core temperature rises, heart races, blood pressure skyrockets [Chase is starting to look uncomfortable], respiration becomes rapid and shallow, the brain fires bursts of electrical impulses from nowhere to nowhere and secretions spit out of every gland [Chase starts to look for an escape route], and the muscles tense and spasm like you’re lifting three times your body weight. It’s violent, it’s ugly, and it’s messy, and if God hadn’t made it unbelievably fun...the human race would have died out eons ago. [small pause] Men are lucky they can only have one orgasm. You know that women can have an hour-long orgasm? [Chase is very wide-eyed; Foreman walks in.]

That has to be the best moment *ever* Never seen a man Jesse Spencer's age looking so honest-to-God fidgety lmao

anyways, went kinda crazy last night lol ...typing-wise, I mean. So now just about everything I've written is typed...but saved on a disk, and I don't feel like tracking down the floppy drive right this moment, so it might be a few days before I make a mega-post...like six stories of varying length.

still reading The Constant Gardener ^_^ it has gotten...odd, yet still interesting. There's some wacky people out there, ya know? And I've fallen in love with the name Tessa. It's just...pretty lol

Anywho, this is me being bored...and saying goodnight! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6418864/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6418864/ Mon, 05 Sep 2005 00:46:57 PDT ass he is, and hog the computer (and the tv at the same time) all night. He didn't get off till 3. My parents are gonna get up in about 2 hours, and I don't really feel like being chewed out for staying up all night, so this ends my story-typing.

The bright side: He has school Tuesday, so he can't stay up all night, which means that I can actually do my typing. *kicks him* Not like he does anything even remotely constructive on here. Plays games the entire time. And judging by the google search bar (the history of which he obviously doesn't know how to clear), looks up porn. *rolls eyes*

Reading The Constant Gardener by John le Carré (yes, that's the book the movie's based on; no, I haven't gone to see the movie) Anyway, the book's pretty decent. I'm about halfway through and nothing terribly interesting has happened yet (except Tessa's death...), but at least it's not as utterly mind-numbing as Moby Dick *gags* Shall keep reading...things are about to really pick up, I suspect lol And eventually I'll go see the movie, if only because Rachel Weisz is awesome, and I'd like to see Ralph Fiennes before I come to know him as Voldemort ^_^

Oh, and to be totally random (it is almost 3:45 AM, you know) I find it quite amusing that Brits call the trunk of a car the boot. Especially amusing when le Carré mentions tossing a person into the boot of a Mercedes. Since when do cars need boots? They have tires! Actually, what's scary is that mind knew exactly what he was referring to when he wrote boot, without even needing to see the Mercedes part. I'm not British! ...*cough*ijustreadtoomuchharrypotter*cough* ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6353400/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6353400/ Sun, 28 Aug 2005 18:08:54 PDT ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6279576/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/6279576/ Sat, 20 Aug 2005 12:51:35 PDT

kinda sorta learning to play the piano, so I have a few new piano-related stories...which you shall see as soon as I find the time to type them up...

What else, what else? ...oh, just pimping "The Scarlet Pimpernel." It's a really awesome book, so if you haven't read it yet, you should take a few hours and read it! lol I've loved it for years upon years ^_^

I got in to my first-choice college. But Mom pretty much said no today...so I guess I'm just gonna end up going to the community college. I hate this.

Grad Bash next weekend. It'll be fun, I guess. Not getting to go with the person I really wanted to go with, but there's not much I can do about that. Prom's the next weekend after that. Not that I care. Not going. I have no desire to go to a stupid party to have pictures taken and then leave. That's not even worth the money for the dress.

Calculus sucks, Physics sucks, and Lit is beginning to suck. French isn't too bad, but that's only because we don't really do anything in there. Ah well. C'est la vie.

That's enough for now. bye

Anywho, been working on several little poems...two en français...should be posting them sometime soon. Also working on 3 separate stories, although two of those are somewhat interrelated. Just somewhat you'll see what I mean when I get done lol

Erm...let's see...once my teacher actually grades and returns my last English paper, I think I'll be posting it. It was historical fiction so...mildly interesting, and I spent a couple hours working (quite feverishly) on it, so I figure someone besides my teacher might as well get to see it.

Other than those little tidbits, I think that is all I gots to say...oh, and that Timeline (both book and movie) are quite wonderful. Michael Crichton all the way! lol that's it for now, peoples. love ya! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4803147/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4803147/ Sun, 13 Mar 2005 15:03:14 PST

Oh, and we also have a few tidbits about the book from Scholastic...there will be a new MoM in HBP, we'll find out a LOT about Voldemort, and the book is intense, with lighthearted moments. I want it now!!!

Anywho, today was actually a pretty good day, despite my feeling like crap half the time I was at school. Got to talk to a friend I haven't talked to in a loooong time...

Erm...there is a story I'm working on, but at this point, I'm not sure it's ever going to be posted x_x I'm afraid my characters are getting just slightly out of hand, so I might have to have a talk with them before continuing. But if I do end up finishing the story, you shall know about it

Mom finally decided to let me drive on the interstate...umm...*shrugs*

Finished reading The Rising (new Left Behind book). It was quite good ^_^

Am procrastinating enormously where my Lit paper is concerned...it's due Wednesday, 8-10 pages, 6 sources...and so far, I have nada. And honestly, I'm debating whether I should even do it. It's supposedly a major grade but...I don't much care. I'm pulling an A in there.

Whatever...I've got a French paper I need to start working on...about Marguerite de Valois ou de Navarre...or whatever else she was of lol. My French teacher looked all excited when I told her I'd picked Marguerite, which is understandable. Daughter of Catherine de Medici, sister to a king, married to a...king kinda person...writer and all sorts of stuff. Interesting girl she was. I wrote about Catherine last year for some project...this time, it shall be Marguerite ^_^

Okay, that's enough boring you for now...love ya! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4614077/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4614077/ Fri, 18 Feb 2005 11:23:54 PST Such a sweetheart...

...I never realized how annoying Dora the Explorer is until today...when my baby was watching it and was actually yelling at the tv whenever Dora said to x_x Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if she didn't ask them to yell it...and then to yell it louder. One scream at the top of his lungs is fine...several in a row are torture...

Going over to Steph's tonight...and Saturday and Sunday...her parents are gonna be out of town and her mom wanted someone to stay with her so she wouldn't have to be all alone at her house in the middle of nowhere ^_^ Shall be awesome...

erm...well, that's about it for now...I shall ttyl! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4609714/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4609714/ Thu, 17 Feb 2005 19:50:07 PST
My baby is asleep on the couch...he looks so cute (he's 7, btw) He's worn out...his bedtime is usually 8:30 or 9. He hit his head on the bathroom counter today...was bleeding for a couple minutes, so we had him lay down and chill. Seems fine...just tired from all the excitement.

I don't like Royal Buffet (for those of you who actually know what that is)...just...ick...that's where we had dinner though *shrugs* So many other places I'd prefer going...

Ah yes...Maroon 5 is awesome ^_^ ...about all I've been listening to for the past few days. well, ttyl!

Spent this morning basically visiting a 'friend' (who is actually more of my mom's friend)...because I was supposed to babysit for her because she, her husband, mother-in-law, and nephew were supposed to go on one of those casino cruise thingies...except it got cancelled. So I ended up wasting an entire morning over there.

Got to meet her nephew...he's pretty cool...19, in college and all that. He acts like a really big kid though lol...we spent most of the morning playing with the kids while the adults ran around doing random stuff

So...that's really about all I have to say for now...nothing else is really coming to mind so I guess its ttfn! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4206491/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4206491/ Fri, 31 Dec 2004 21:07:19 PST
so I could pretend I'm actually like a lot of people and have all these wonderful New Year's resolutions...but I don't. So there!

LOL, talk to you kids later! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4186108/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4186108/ Wed, 29 Dec 2004 14:44:15 PST ). I wrote a short little story that's nonfic, more of a journal than anything...but it's boring as crap even to me and I don't feel like improving upon it. I might post it as a scrap sometime just for the hell of it.

Umm...having technical difficulties so it might be a while before those poems get posted...we shall see.

Anyways, only other thing I wanna say is Welcome to da, Stephanie! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4156846/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4156846/ Sat, 25 Dec 2004 18:59:38 PST
And I could do my Christmas reading, but I don't particularly want to right this second...better than watching football, I suppose. But whatever...

I'm seriously annoyed by this...it's alright for both my cousin and my brother to watch the movies they got for Christmas, but can Laura watch her movie? Oh, no! That would just be...wrong...Even though Laura's movie is more likely to entertain the adults than Princess Diaries 2 or the 1st Stars Wars movie (my grandparents detest Star Wars, and they don't like Princess Diaries either)...

But you know what? I'm used to this kinda crap...they're the ones who act and get treated like little kids...and I'm the one who's expected to be the adult just b/c I'm older than my cousin by 11 days...it's a load of bs, but whatever...

*feels depressed* I'm freaking depressed on Christmas...how sucky is that? Everybody gets to watch what they want...except for me...

Enough whining...I'll talk to you peoples later...bye! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4090189/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4090189/ Fri, 17 Dec 2004 17:53:02 PST
I'm kinda working on a story right now. I'll probably post it if I ever finish it...and there's probably a lot more on the way too. Life is slightly inspiring lately...but only slightly

My buddy just left for Hong Kong this afternoon...he's not coming back for like two weeks! So I am slightly depressed...but I'm also very happy because I got to see him before he left and he gave me a huge smile, and it made me feel very loved...so I have that to think of while I'm missing him.

Anyways, this is the first afternoon of Christmas break!!! How much does that rock? I probably won't get to do much though...I have to read two books for my AP Lit class, which kinda sucks. But whatever...toodles for now, everybody! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4003824/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/4003824/ Mon, 06 Dec 2004 14:45:43 PST
On an interesting note, one of my friends and I had a small talk about that at the end of 3rd period today...apparently I'm not the only one to have had problems in middle school...only his had more to do with his family being screwed up...my problems were just with my screwed-up self...

But I'm all better now Life is pretty good, right at this instant, despite some minor problems. My friend's b-day was today...I'm happy for him...I think he's 17! wow...he's only a sophomore...ah well...toodles! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/3917948/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/3917948/ Thu, 25 Nov 2004 15:20:44 PST
I still have messenger here, even though it is the old version w/out the userpics...perhaps I will fix that if my grandparents don't mind...so if you absolutely *must* talk to me, you can see if I'm on...if not, just email me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

The trip down here was pretty boring. I listened to Yellowcard the whole way down...and once we started getting closer to Ocala, I watched all the pretty horses out the window. There's gotta be like 500 horses in like a 60 mile radius from Ocala...It's just horse farm after horse farm after horse farm...occasionally there's a cow farm thrown in just to confuse you, but mainly it's horses...

Ah well...that's about it for now...ttfn! ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/3844541/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/3844541/ Mon, 15 Nov 2004 19:18:37 PST
I was babysitting all weekend (I'm talking left school and went home with the person I babysit for), didn't get home until 7:30 Sunday night...
Tonight wasn't busy at all, but only b/c stupid me left half the stuff I need to get done in my locker...so I'll just have to rush to get it done tomorrow night and Wednesday night. Oh well. Gives me a legitimate excuse to be on the computer.

Other recent developments...umm...well, you can check my lj for info on certain things *cough*crush*cough* otherwise, there's not much happening...

So...umm...that's it...and I'm sure eventually I'll post something besides a journal lol...It just might be a while. ]]> ~Aramina48 http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/3529344/ http://Aramina48.deviantart.com/journal/3529344/ Wed, 06 Oct 2004 18:39:51 PDT
I'm tired, and stressed, and we have exams tomorrow and Friday, and I'm fighting with one of my friends, and my Physics grade wants to drop farther than an 89, and yeah...I think that's enough. The other major problem is more personal than I want to post on a journal entry on here...besides, any guys who come on here (heh, yeah right) wouldn't appreciate it, I'm sure.

So now that you know about my *wonderful* life at this moment, I'm gonna go and try to relax for a while... ]]> ~Aramina48
