Oh. My. God.
I was in a flood today. It was the scariest thing of my life. I won't go into detail today, but I was trapped with my car for 4 1/2 hours. There were trucks that were almost completely submerged in water. It was so terrifying. I'll write more about it later, after I've actually relaxed a bit.

Good News... Bad News
Good News: I'm getting inspired. My muse is starting to return a little.
Bad News: I still have total writers block for my fics.
Mainly, I am getting ideas for original stories. Do not panic! I am not going to stop writing my fics. I think I need to actually read a few of them to get back in GG mode. I didn't even watch GG last night. I mean, I have the DVD of the episode already (DVD recorders work miracles) and I was exhausted. Still, it's surprising because I almost always watch GG.
It's just the summer hiatus has me drawing no inspiration for the fics. I'm not going to put them on hiatus or stop writing them, though. Each and every one will be updated. I just don't know when.
I actually did get an idea for one of my GG fics earlier, but I didn't write it down, so it's gone. At least I'm starting to get back into writing a little. I hate not working on my fics or stories, but I just haven't been motivated to lately. Hopefully soon.

BlackBerry's and Contracts
In a couple more months I get a new cell phone. With Sprint, I think it's every 18 months I get a $100 credit towards a new cell phone. I want a BlackBerry. I need a BlackBerry. Ok, so maybe it's not a life or death matter, but it will make my life easier, and they're sooo cool.
So, I'm looking at the ones Sprint offers. They're crap. Ok, maybe not crap, but not the ones I want, either. Just about every other cell company offers a lot of others, but oh no, not sprint. So now I'm going to pick between two I'm not terribly fond of.
I used to have Verizon, but when we moved here they weren't in the area. So, I changed. I called Cingular, but they refused to use a Power of Attorney for my husband since I wanted them in his name and he was in Iraq at the time. (Although legally they are obligated to accept them.) I figured, "hey, they don't want my business... fine." So I went to Sprint.
My service has been okay. Not great, not awful. I mean, I'm not complaining, except for the roaming charged. Which are insane. And the call-in customer service. I called in to add roaming to my phone for a certain amount each month, and the woman didn't even speak English. The people working at the Sprint stores in town are rude, too.
But other than that, I have not one problem. Until now. So now I'm left trying to decide if I'll renew my contract and get a blackberry I'm not overly in love with, (I mean, the one I want is about $500... but the one I'll probably get is about $400 with a $100 discount, making it $300. If I'm making a major purchase that will last 18 months, what's an extra $100?) or changing the service I'm okay with. Decisions, decisions.
The point of this post? Well, there isn't really one. I just felt like rambling on about it.

Soooo Tired
I am exhausted this morning! I stayed up late working on a Bio take home test, and I'm not even half finished. It's due today. As soon as I get home I'm going to bed and sleeping for a few hours. Then I need to type up a 5 page paper for psych and I think I have a test tomorrow. Ugh. Back to school full force.
Thursday is my last day until next Weds. So that's cool. Two more days after today and then I get another break. I can't wait.
Anyways, I have bio lecture today, and that usually bores me, so maybe I'll write some ideas.

Sitting Through War (New Poem)
Before you comment on this post, please read it completely. If you want to comment without reading it, at least read the last paragraph. I don't want someone bitching at me because they didn't read everything I wrote. But still, feel free to comment. Just read this before you chose to trample my opinion. ;)
I posted a new poem at FP. It's called Sitting Through War. Basically, it's my thoughts on what a lot of people do. This is a subject very close and important to me. I know a lot of non-military families/ people who sit down and watch CNN and start bitching about the war in Iraq. They may hear a story or 2 from someone in the military, but other than that they know nothing. Yet they ignorantly throw their fits.
If you don't support the war then that is your right. You are free to have your own opinion, and I support that right. It's what my husband fights for. It's what he's willing to die for. I am merely expressing my opinion. So please, don't be offended. My problem is with people who ignorantly oppose the war.
A lot of people simply see the bombs. They yell because our troops are dying.
Did you know that this war has cost us fewer lives than any other war we've ever fought?
Did you know that our troops are training the Iraq government to take over?
Did you know that we provide not only health care to their people when they need it, but also to their animals, since their animals are their lively hood? (Which helps them maintain self sufficiency, and boosts their economy).
Did you know that most of the Iraq people WANT us there? We provide them with jobs working on our "camps" over there. We pay them in American money. It's not much compared to what we make, but it is extremely high compared to what they would otherwise make.
We are helping over there. Yes, we've lost some men and women. It's the cost of war. 9-11 happened more than 4 years ago. Every single person in the military today joined or re-enlisted after 9-11. They knew there was a war going on. They chose to join. (Unless they signed a 6 year contract 5 years ago, then they would not have the option to opt out yet. I'm saying generally).
I've noticed a lot of people who sit and complain about our troops risking their lives. Well, that's their job. They knew when they signed on the dotted line that it was a risk. No one forced them to join. I've sat here at home while my husband was in Iraq. I worried, I cried, I went on with my life. Yet I still support the war. We are giving the Iraqi's a hope, a chance at life, at a future. I know my husband will be going back to war next year.
He missed our first anniversary. He missed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Valentine's Day. He's going to miss my college graduation and my 21st birthday. Yet I continue to support the war. I support it because I know many, many men and women who place their lives on the line in Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, Afghanistan (sp?) and other countries. I support it because I've chosen to be informed about what goes on. I've done my research. I've asked questions. I've formed my own opinion.
My decision to support the war is not one I ignorantly chose. It is one I made after becoming knowledgable. I suggest you do the same. If after you become informed you do/still oppose the war, then that's your choice. I don't belittle that choice. I do, however, belittle the choice to ignorantly decide to oppose the war simply based on what you hear/ see on tv. Get informed.

Save Screeches House
Remember Screech from Saved by the Bell? Well, his (Dustin Diamond) house is being foreclosed, so he is selling shirts & bricks to get the money.
Check it out.
Personally, I think it's pretty pathetic. There is no way I would every support this. I mean, there are so many worth while causes out there. Instead of paying $15 for a tshirt saying "I paid $15 to save Screeeches House" (Yes, I know there are three e's in that- it's his way of getting around copyrights.) I would much rather pay $15 and donate it to finding a cure for cancer, or trying to save Everwood. (By the way, that's a cause I support!)
At his site he talks about how they screw the working man over. I'm sorry, if he's a "working man" why is he asking for our money? I mean, I understand that money gets tight. But he's just working as a comedian. If that's not paying the bills, maybe he should get a real job. The working man has to, so why shouldn't he?
In closing, shit happens. Money gets tight. It happens to most people. The difference is that most people don't ask someone to buy a brick of their home for $1,000 or pay $20 for an autographed t-shirt.
I may add, that I think his idea is ingenius. It's capitalism. He's smart for coming up with this idea, but perhaps he should take some of that brain and creativity and take it to go find a job to pay his own bills.
What do you think?

Finally! An Update!
I just posted chapter 4 of Conniving Trollops. It is not my best work, but I have no muse at the moment. I am in huge writers block on everything.
I only forced myself to write this because I promised you guys an update. I'm sorry there weren't more, but everything I've written has been complete and utter crap the past week.
I really won't be forcing myself to write to often. When it happens, it happens.
Anyways, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, but at least I got something out.

I am such an idiot!
I was reading at fiction press, and I'm like 'geesh, the font is sooo small!' It took me forever to realize that at both ff.net and fp.net I can change the size & style of the font while I read! It's the B S A A A on the top right of the screen. Geesh! Much better!

Massive Writers Block/ Burn out
I am trying to write... but can't really. So I went through some old work that was in note books, and I'm getting a bit of inspiration.
I will write and get at least a couple updates up before Monday. On what, I'm not sure. I really want to get moving on Hidden Past, but I'm stuck on the current chapter. I know what needs to happen, it's just a matter of getting there.
Saga is at a road block. I found some notes from it, and I realized that I have written myself into a corner with this chapter. What does that mean? Delete and start afresh. So far I have 8 pages for this chapter. I need to make a list of what's supposed to happen & write it. I'm sorry that you guys have been waiting for so long on this one. The tough thing is that an entire summer is one chapter. It's tough remembering to not draw out the beginning and rush the end. It's really tough not doing that. But I realized what I was doing, so now I'm rectifying the situation.
I have actually worked on some poetry. I haven't written poetry in years, but I got inspired this morning and wrote a poem.
Anyways, I'm enjoying the sleep. I really needed these days off school because I am so burnt out. Going year-round for the last year has really taken a toll on me. If it weren't for this long weekend I'd go crazy. Some time next month I'll take a mental health day off school, too. I try not to miss too much, but sometimes it's actually needed.

Piece or Peace?
I just have a quick question for you all.
Is it:
a. I've said my piece.
or
b. I've said my peace.
That always drives me crazy. I think it's peace, but then again piece could also work. Any ideas?

Sorry for the Lack of Updates
Hey everyone.
Sorry about the lack of updates lately. I'm finally getting over being sick. It's just a light cough now. I originally intended to update this weekend, but things happened and I got extremely busy. I'll be busy tonight & probably tomorrow trying to get my house in order. Redecorating is time consuming. Hopefully by tomorrow night I'll be finished.
No school Weds, Thurs, or Fri. That means I'll have time to update! YAY!
I plan on writing plenty this week, as long as my muse allows it. I won't force myself to write. When I start to do that everything I write turns out awful, and I start to hate working on my stories. I won't do that anymore.

I've been stretched so thin with so many different things going on and lately writing has become a chore, and I hate that feeling. I love to write; it's the way I get unstressed. But even that hasn't been helping lately.
Today in Psych we took stress tests. If you're over 130 you're really stressed. I was over 300. Let's just say I realized I need to prioritize a bit more. I've been sick, and busy, and going to school, and trying to write and do everything at once. I'm feeling completely over whelmed and burnt out. This happens from time to time to me. Hopefully, this week will take care of it.
So, Reginald (my muse) willing, I will update this week. I really do miss writing.

No Updates
I spent all day today helping my friend move. I am sooooooooooo sooooooooooo tired.
Now that she's gone I have to get my house in order. She gave me a lot of her stuff that she was getting rid of, so I need to put them in new places in my house. First up is finishing the porch. We live next door to each other, and share a porch (we have townhouses). We both have tons of flowers, so she gave hers to me. Tomorrow I need to finish fixing the porch up.
I need to hang up a shelf in here and then put the new tv cabinet in here. Then I need to organize my kitchen and clean the living room from where I've had an 8 month old in the house the last few days.
Once that's done I need to track down another friend & threaten her life for my steam cleaner she borrowed a few weeks ago and never returned so I can clean my carpets.
First, I need to go soak in a tub. I am soooo exhausted. And sore. I honestly can't remember the last time I worked so hard.
A long story short: No updates this weekend. I have Weds, Thurs, Fri off school next weekend, I'll try to write then. Sorry.

Longest Day Ever
I had the longest day ever. I'm helping my neighbor move out, and it was sooo much work. I also watched her 8 month old son, and wow, between the two I'm exhausted.
She's leaving tomorrow, so I may have a chance to write Sunday.
I just got done eating dinner, and now I'm going to crawl in bed. I'm sooooo exhausted.

LMAO! I am SUCH a blonde!
Oh... my... God.
For the most part, I consider myself to be at least a semi intelligent individual. But dear Lord, do I ever have my moments!
I was just browsing around fictionpress looking at stories & such. I was like, 'hmmm... when I went to sign up a few months back rockrose (my ff.net sn) was taken. Let's see what the author has'. So I do. I read the profile.
I was like, huh... I used to be in Kenpo karate, also.
I was like, huh... cool, I like poetry.
Huh, that's my old email address.
LMAO! I have an account there and didn't even remember it! And poems uploaded, too! How damn dumb can one person be? Geesh.
So now I'm going to delete my new account & use my old one.

Update
Hey!
I haven't had any time what-so-ever to write lately. I've been so busy with school & real life. I'm still sick & still tired.
But... I am feeling better. I don't have school for the next three days, so as long as I make it through a lecture on bio chemistry today I should have time to rest this weekend.
Next week I only have 2 days of school. They're giving us a mini summer break (Thank God). So, next week (Weds, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun) I should have plenty of time to catch up on my zzzz's and writing!
God, I miss writing! There is just no time lately, and I hate that. I mean, I could write during my classes, but honestly, I need to get good grades this semester.
I promise you that I am not giving up on my stories or anything like that. I just need some time to get better and get rested and find my muse. Hopefully, Reginald will be back by this weekend. Hopefully. I think getting a full night's sleep has a lot to do with it.
Anyways, I need to get ready for classes.

Hey Everyone
Sorry I haven't updated anything lately. I have so seriously not been in the mood to do anything at all. I'm still sick, and school work has been piling up.
Today I had two tests. I knew I wouldn't be completely prepared for Bio if I studied for Psych, so I spent all my time studying for my bio test. I'm allowed to drop my worst test grade in psych, so that's why I did that.
I got a 94% on my bio test, and since I'm able to drop a grade my 100% average in psych is safe.
Anyways, I don't think I'll be writing tonight. I haven't had energy to do anything lately, and I have no inspiration what-so-ever to write right now. Don't worry, I'm not going on hiatus or anything like that.
I just need a bit of time to get healthy again. What I have has really been going around. My aunt and her daughter have it, and a friend of mine's husband is in the hospital with the same thing. I'm feeling better every day, but at night I feel like death. I'm giving it until this weekend; if it's not better by then I'll go to the doctors.
Anyways, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I know I promised you guys some, but if I could write I would. I just feel so UGH. Sorry.

I'm feeling better every day, but at night I feel like death. I'm giving it until this weekend; if it's not better by then I'll go to the doctors.
Anyways, I'm sorry for the lack of updates. I know I promised you guys some, but if I could write I would. I just feel so UGH. Sorry.

Ha Ha- Take that Java Junkies!
Ok, so I was getting ready to go to bed when I realized I hadn't been to ask ausiello in a while, so I went there, and I read an interview with Lauren Graham.
I copy & pasted a bit of it here:
Ausiello: I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but the majority of fans I've heard from hated that Lorelai ended up in bed with Christopher in the finale.
Graham: I don't think people were probably thrilled — of course, all my references are 50 years old — when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100! It stirs up your passion for what you would like to happen and for the characters you're interested in. And it's human. The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it. [The Lorelai-Christopher thing], to me, was such a long time coming. This was built into the story for a long time — that Lorelai didn't feel understood [by Luke] and they weren't communicating. [Christopher and Lorelai] have a connection and it made total sense to me, just given the story. To me, that's a satisfying season finale. I'm sorry if people were upset.

My Muse Has Left The Building
Reginald (my Muse) has disappeared. Despite being sick I've attempted to write all day.
Attempted being the key word.
I can't write. It's just not happening. I must have tried to write something for almost all my fics, and nothing! I'm honestly not too sure why, either. I guess it could have something to do with the sneezing... or the coughing... or the sore eyes... or the head ache... or the stomach ache... or the...
Well, I think you get the point by now. The point being I am sick and am going to go to my nice comfy bed and lay down reading the Harlequinn romance books my husband bought me (he spoils me when I'm sick... I even convinced him chocolate chip cookies would help heal me.) and drink my hot tea and go to sleep.
Then tomorrow I'm going back to school and I will be studying like crazy. I have a psych test and a bio test on Tuesday. I think I have a test in Bio lab on Weds. I don't know, maybe I'll find time to update this week, but I wouldn't count on it. Then again, I do make time to write no matter how busy I am when Reginald whispers in my ear for me to update. So who knows.
Sick Still
Hey everyone.
I am still sick, but my internet is working again. Actually, I'm sicker than I was the other day. Yesterday was better than Friday, but today I can't talk at all. I'm just sooo glad my husband is home. In January I spent about 3 weeks being very sick, and I was all alone. He is sooo sweet. He's making me hot tea right now, and he's cleaning the kitchen so I can rest.
I'm not doing a lot of writing. Well... I'm not working on any of the fics I should be. I worked on a Mason from Days fic because Rikki always makes me love the pairing. Even though whenever I have a Days fic going I only update it like, once every 3-4 months. Lol! I'm horrible.
Anyways, I also started a new PDLD. But, I have a new rule. To stop the madness of having so many fics going I will not post a new fic until I have at least 6 chapters written. That way there aren't long waits for updates. I started it yesterday and have 2 1/2 chapters written.
I worked a bit on Hidden Past and on BBB. For the life of me I can't remember what I have written. I'll probably work on both of them a bit today. I also want to get another chapter of Lost out. I know I said there would be another chapter of Conniving Trollops this weekend, but to be honest, that is a time consuming fic to write. Since it follows the storyline as closely as it does I have to research the episodes and think back to how everyone acted & such. Ugh. Time consuming + sick doesn't = updates. Not in my math anyway.
Oh, and about Everything Changes, I will update it! It is not abandoned! Right now it's just tough to write because I know what I want to do with it, it's just tough getting it there.

Internet's Not Working & I'm Sick
My cable modem isn't working right. The cable co will have someone out next Friday to fix it. That means unless it suddenly decides to work correctly (which it's done before), I have no internet for 7 whole days!
But, I do have the school computers. Yay! That's where I am now.
I'll be writing at home and hopefully uploading the chapters to ff.net at school, ok?
I'm also sick. My husband wasn't feeling well this week, but he is fine now. He's had every shot known to man given to him by the military, so the guy won't even catch small pox, but here I am without any vaccines this year, and I caught what he had. So I don't feel well.

Chapter 2 of Lost is up!
That's right- believe it or not I finally updated Lost! It only took me three months.
I have a pretty good idea what's going to happen in this fic, and I'm actually pretty excited to work on it. Tomorrow I have school, and after that I'll probably crash from exhaustion, but I'll try to get another chapter up this weekend.

Nilch, Nada, Nothin'
Alright, so I haven't written anything today. Nilch, Nada, Nothin'. But, I am thinking.
Thus far, I have no new ideas for my current stories. However, I do have an idea for a one shot about Lorelai.
Saga hasn't been worked on in a few weeks. I know exactly what's going to happen, it's just finding time to work on it.
Always There is... not there. It's just not coming along. Why? Because I'm trying to decide which direction to take it in. Do you guys want a sequel? Or should I just have them ride off into the sun set after Logan exit's stage left? I have the sequel idea. It's there, it's brewing, it's ready. Just let me know.
Conniving Trollops should be out as soon as I have time to write. I know pretty much what will happen in the next chapter.
Hidden Past needs to be updated, I know. I'm just having trouble with the Jory/ Rogan aspect.
BBB will be the next fic I update!!!! I know you haven't had an update in over a month, so next time I update something, it will be BBB.
Needing You won't be out for a while. Why? It's hard to write. And I lost my outline.
Lost should really, really be worked on. Honestly, I just don't have time to work on it. I promise I will (eventually).
Everything Changes will be updated eventually. Most of the next chapter is written.
I'm sorry if I missed anything. I'm exhausted. I have a lab report to write. I have 2 tests to study for. I'm tired, and I have a house to clean. When I'm tired & stressed I get crabby, so I really, really need to get some sleep.
If I have any time to write this week, I promise I will. If not, I'll write this weekend.

Tired... So Tired
I'm exhausted. I hate Monday's. Seriously, they are awful. The whole vicious cycle of waking up early starts all over again. Ok, ok, I know I sound pitiful. But still, I hate Monday's.
I doubt I'll get any writing done today. I haven't even been to my first class yet, but I already want to sleep. I'm pretty sure today's going to be a sleepy day.
Tomorrow I may get some writing done... not sure. Weds it's very doubtful, since I think I have a test Thursday. At least I have Friday, Saturday, and Sunday's off. Three day weekends are nice.

Fun in the Sun
It is completed. Done. Ended. Fin.
Wow. I feel happy that it's completed, yet sad that it's really over.
I noticed a lot of people thought that chapter 9 was the ending. It wasn't! I personally hated chapter 9, but it needed to happen. Without it, the alt. ending (which is the Rogan ending) would never have happened. So yes, there are 11 chapters total to Fun in the Sun.
So, this is basically my thank you for reading, reviewing, and giving Fun in the Sun a chance. It was never supposed to take this long to write, but the real world kinda got in the way. Thanks for sticking around, though!

Fun in the Sun has been UPDATED!
Yep, chapter 9 is up! The alt endings should both be up by tomorrow night. I'm just reading over them one last time, making changes, etc.
I would type out a long AN, with personal replies to reviews, but then I was thinking, would you guys honestly prefer me to do that, or would you rather me just go ahead and write something else? I figured I'll actually write today.
Happy reading!

FF.net won't let me upload!
I'm done with chapter 9 for Fun in the Sun, and ff.net won't let me post it!! GRRRRR. So now I have to wait. This is sooooo frustrating.

Weekend Plans
My weekend has officially started! I only go to school Monday-Thursday, so I have 3 days off! YAY!
Fun in the Sun is written. The last three chapters are mostly done. I'm just doing last minute editing & such... but it will be up this weekend. It's sad that this is really it. The fic is over. Wow. Oh, and it does have both a Trory & a Rogan ending. Personally, I'm partial to the Rogan ending, which is surprising, because I was rooting for Trory in this... but hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles, right?
I may be writing a one shot based on a challenge this weekend. I'm not sure. If I get inspired I may.
Also, I want to start an original story. I already know the plot, so that's may be done. Who knows.
I took my tests. I got a 102 on my psych test. A 4/5 on my Bio lab, and 80 on my Bio test. I can't complain. I have another test Monday. Eek!
So basically, I'm enjoying the weekend before it's back to studying.
