So this weekend I started to read and finished the Lovely Bones. When it first came out, I was unwilling to read it, despite the fact that I thought that I would like it. I suppose I just didn't want to read it because so many other people had. But anyway, after reading it, I found that I did like it. It was beautiful and horrific at the same time, which makes it just my kind of book. However, despite its hopeful message, it was rather depressing. Too depressing almost.

Anyway, apparently they are making it into a movie. Its going to come out on January15, 2010. I don't think that I will like it too much. Apart from the casting, the Heaven that they have cerated does not match at all with the one that I had envisioned. Theirs is a lot more colorful and almost cheerful, the one that I had pictured was rather more gray. I think if I watch the film it will deviate too much from the book that I will hate it. Even the casting seems wrong, and the two girls that they got to play the Salmon sisters aren't as pretty as the ones I had pictured.

Anyway Halloween is coming! Yes I am still looking forward to it, despite the fact that I probably won't do anything. I just love that Holiday.

I updated Dagger Collector once more Chapter 13: Somewhere A Clock Is Ticking is now posted and hopefully there aren't any problems like the ones from last time that I updated this story. Although, that being said it might be a while before I update again considering the fact that I haven't even started to work on Chapter 14.

Other than that, I really have nothing else to say. My life is as boring as it usually is and considering the fact that I am not doing much work for my classes because I am being lazy, I should be writing a lot more than I am, but I'm not. Really I should b e doing my school work very religiously if I want to keep a high GPA, but I supposed that there is something wrong with me because I really don't do anything anymore.

Although I have been drawing more lately than I have in the past several years. Anyway, gonna go.

Much Love,

Ok so I updated Dagger Collector yesterday, something I haven't done in about two years or something. I don't know why I wanted to write it, I guess because it was something I had in third person that I was fond of, and I wanted to get back to it. I don't know how many chapters I will be posting for it, but I have started on Chapter 13 already, but I don't know when I will update again because I don't know when I am going to get through the chapter.

Anyway, something very odd happened when I updater yesterday. For some reason the chapter would refuse to show up on the archieve, even though I could see it through thre preview option on my page. I don't know what that was all about because the story showed up as updated, but you simply could not access the new chapter. I actually had to contact ff.net's support, first time I ever had to do that. It was a pain.

Anyway, here is the link to Chapter 12: Mind Control of Dagger collector. Hopefully you can actually access it now.

So Its September. I am back going to school and I think that in some way or other I don't really like any of my classes.

But anyway, besides that I wanted to just say that I just wanted to say that I am almost done with Unrequited Wrong. Or well. at least I am working on the last two chapters, though I still haven't done any work for the Epilogue. But I did have the other two chapters written, but I decided to rerwite them because I wasn't very satisfied with them, so it might be a while still before the story is finished.

I haven't updated Unrequited Wrong though, because I don't want there to be a terrible, long wait between the chapter that I have finished and ready two post and the last couple chapters.

Other than that... I don't think that I have anything else to day. Been working on like two other stories lately, but I haven't even completed the first two chapters. Suffices to say that I am not sure if anything is going to follow the completion of UW.

As for Eternal Sunshine... geesh its been a while since I even looked at it, much less written for it. I am not sure that I will get it finished. But hopefully I will be getting back to it, but somehow I really doubt it.

Updated Unrequited Wrong. Chapter 32: My Sweet Valentine is now posted. Got a rought draft of the second to last chapter. So I suppose it won't be too long before I am done.

Its been a while since I last updated. Of course once I got back, I haven't been able to get on and I really didn't get any writing done. I had hoped that going to see Half-Blood Prince would provide me with some inspiration. Unfortunately it didn't. I mean it was pretty good, not as dissapointing as the last movie had been, but still. Not really inspirational.

Other than that I turned another year older in July, which of course really wasn't that great, but I got to hang out with my friends. So I suppose it was worth it just for that.

Anyway, now onto the real reason that I am posting. I finally updated Unrequited Wrong. So you can now go see the next chapter at Fanfiction. Or of course you can just follow the link (Chapter 31: Unexpected Setbacks).

I think that UW is almost finished, or rather that I am almost finished writing it. Just about two or three more chapters to write. So I think in total it will be like 37 chapters long. NOt sure yet. Won't know until I get back to working on it.  

So I start going back to school this month which is good because I am getting impatient. I want to go back to school and do something finally. Anyway, that might mean more or less updating. It really depends on how much work I have and how much time I have to write. Hopefully I won't be getting swamped with homework.

So I will be heading to the airport in about an hour. I am finally going home, back to my life. Ugh, what a drag. LOL.

I didn't sleep well last night and then I woke up really early this morning, so I am still very tired. I assume that by the end of the day I will be even more tired. Being at the airport sucks. I mean the long as walks to get to all the gates and terminals, then having to go through metal detectors and have your personal space invaded by total strangers.

Hmmm... and I'm thinking that I really should have rethought what I'm wearing and made sure that there was no metal on any of my clothes so that when I pass through the metal detector it doesn't go off. Too late now though. OH well, lets hope that its not detectable. I don't feel like getting wanned and touched.

I am going home though, so I suppose that's really all that matters. Wish me a safe trip (and that I'm not molested by airport staff)! lol

So I will be going home tomorrow. I got to pack though, and I really don't feel like doing that at the moment. I suppose that I will wait until its a little later. Maybe in an hour or so. But I should probably eat something soon so I can take my pills.

When I get home I will probably not update my journal as often as I have the past few days. Actually I don't even know why I updated so often while I've been here. I suppose because usually around now I have the house all to myself. There really is very little else to do. Not to mention the fact that for some reason or other my mind is getting distracted with thoughts. They seem a bit random to me, but somehow they all seem to string together.

Been thinking about Mary Magdalene a lot today. I've always been drawn to her, don't really know why. I think it was at first just because I loved her name, Magdalene. Anyway today I barely found out that she was made a saint and that her like feastday is on July 22nd. So since she is a saint and as I am Catholic (though I am a pretty shitty Catholic) I've decided that if I must wear some sort of medallion with a saint on it, I want the saint to be Mary Magdalane. Being of Mexican decent, I love the Virgin Mary as much as the next person, but I think that Mary Magdalane seems more suitable for me. And to clarify something, she wasn't a prostitute, I mean really she was just referred to as a sinful woman in the bible. The Prostitute thing I think is someone misconstrued the meaning and it was just passed on like that. But if she was a prostitute, I don't care. That was supposed to be one of the lessons that Jesus meant to teach: tolerance and of course not judging and loving your neighbor crap.

Other than that I don't think that I have anything else to say.

Still can't wait for Harry Potter and Half-Blood Prince. Only five more days though and I am pretty sure that I can distract myself with some business that I have to take care of once I get back to Illinois, like signing up for my classes and completing some assignments that were left pending from last semester.

Anyway I should probably get going now. Time to eat and take my meds.

I burned my effing index finger and it still hurts!

On another note, I went to Barnes and Noble today, bought Lamb By Christopher Moore (finally because I been meaning to read this FOREVER and by forever I mean for like two years in November). So far I've only read it up to chapter 3 and its good. I like it and its funny. But now I feel like I should have also bought Anne Rice's Christ the Lord. I had started reading it in the library once, but I didn't get very far. I was too lazy to take it out. Which reminds me I still have to read that book... Mistress of the Art of Death or something. (Shoulda gotten that fiction book on Magadelene too)

I have a shit load of crap that I want to read actually. The author of Mistress of the Art of Death has already come out with another book as well featuring the same female sleuth, but I'm not really sure I want to read that one. And I think that she will soon be coming out with a third featuring Adelia.

Anyway, I also bought Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. I saw the Mysterious Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde at the bookstore as well, and I wanted it. But I didn't want to buy it because I already owned it. I let one of my friends borrow it and she of course never returned it. This is why you shouldn't lend stuff to people, in particular books. I think she also has my copy of Tuesdays with Morey. I was particularly fond of my editions. Sigh.

Anyway, I will be going home on Saturday. Yay (not overly excited about my return actually and that was just sarcasm). Not that I don't miss my home, but returning means that I should probably start doing something with my life.

This is just too bitching not to post. I can't freaking wait for this to come out. It just looks so amazing. Unfortunately it doesn't actually come out until like March 5, 2010.

The Mad Hatter (Johny Depp)

The White Queen (Anne Hathaway)

The Queen of Hearts (Helena Bonham Carter)



Anyway, I can't wait!
