I'm done with Gilmore Girls. Done, through, finite. No more.
I've read the spoilers for this upcoming season, and I don't like them. At all.
That sounds really immature, but I just don't like the direction that the show is going. God, I honestly never thought I'd say this about Gilmore Girls. I've been a loyal viewer since it started, and now the time has come when I'm done. Sad. It really, truly is.
I've just read so many disappointing spoilers that I don't want to keep watching and see my #1 fav show be butchered.
Yeah, I'll complete my fics. Nothing can take away the previous seasons. Nothing.
I just won't be watching this new season. At all.

Sooo much is happening!
Wow... the past 6 days have been insane.
Tuesday I had my wreck. My car ended up being totalled. Later that night I took a home pregnancy test and got a yes.
This weekend I bought a new car and today I withdrew from school.
Geesh! Soooo much is happening all at once.
Anyways, I'll try to work on my fics some now that I'm home most of the time.

Fucking Hell
I was in a 4 car wreck this morning. Grrrr.
We were stopped behind a few other cars because someone was making a left hand turn. All of a sudden, we're rear-ended! That caused us to roll forward and hit the car in front of us, who then hit the car in front of them. Damn.
The guy who hit us was going 55 in a 35 mph SCHOOL ZONE.
Nice, huh?
Ours was the only one with damage. We can't drive it. So, we have no car. So hubby is getting rides for the next 3-4 weeks (yes, there's that much damage- thank God for full coverage!), and I'm withdrawing from school. At this point, I have no other choice but to do so.
So now I get to sell my books to other students, and try to return my $118 graphing calculator.
This totally sucks.
The weird thing is, this weekend my cousin was in a bad wreck that totalled his car.
Things always happen in 3's in my family. I can't help but wonder who's next.

Plagerism
Plagiarizing is defined by dictionary.com as:
1. To use and pass off (the ideas or writings of another) as one's own.
2. To appropriate for use as one's own passages or ideas from (another).
I think everyone obviously knows not to steal actual passages from others, but did you realize it was also ideas? Think before you take.
That was the little blurb I have added to both my fp.com and ff.net profiles. It is frustrating to work hard to make a story original in its own right and see a story a few days later that is VERY similar to yours. Yes, it could be a coincidence, but when the storylines and plots basically follows your story, it gets kind of obvious it isn't a coincidence.
With fan fic this is harder to call out, because you're already borrowing someone else characters. I have seen 2 fics very similar to one of mine. The first one I saw had a bunch of people review, and only one person called the writer out on the fact that it was similar.
I figured, okay, coincidence, whatever.
The second one is much more recent. I haven't seen it in a few weeks, but it is really pissing me off. When I started the fic I'm talking about it was the only one of its kind. I had added a special little twist that no one else had. It was my original idea. Now, I look and I see another fic with the same idea. Okay, no big.
But then I read it. And the sequence of events is eerily similar to mine. To me, when there are only 3-4 chapters, and about 60% or more follows almost exactly the same events my fic does, it tells me something. It tells me that the person is too uncreative, too stupid, or too lazy to think up their own ideas, so they feel the need to steal mine.
I don't expect no one else to write similar things. Hell, I'm talking about fan fic. We all borrow the same characters. But it's another thing when you spend hours thinking up ways to create your own piece of art and mold it your own special way, only to have someone take that SAME EXACT IDEA!
And guess what? That, my friends, is plagerism.
Now, I'm not going to say which fic idea has been ripped off. I'm not going to say who the other writers are that did it.
What I am saying is that if you take someone elses idea's (and I'm not talking about seeing an idea and twisitng it to make it your own- I'm talking about taking the same damn storyline and everything) you are an uncreative idiot. You are a thief. Above all, you are a plagerizer.
So please people- Think before you take!

Did You Know?
Did you know that in 2005 the word fan fiction was added to dictionary.com? Yep, it's true.
I just thought that was kinda cool.

School is SOOOO hard!
I started school this week.
Already, I have a paper due tomorrow, 125 math problems assigned (which I don't even know if I'm doing correctly!) and several other assignments.
Dear Lord was I out of my mind when I signed up for 6 classes?
College Algebra.
American History 2.
Sociology.
Developmental Psychology.
Interpersonal Communications.
Spanish.
This semester is 3 days in, and already kicking my ass.
Wonderful, huh?
Now, on to my next rant: The cost of TextBooks!
The school is constantly using new editions. Well, that's just fine & dandy, but how much has changed about Spanish in the past year that forces me to spend $144 on a book? I mean, come on! If it were any type of science course I would have no problem. But Spanish? The language hasn't changed in a LONG time... I'm pretty sure using an older edition of text books would not have made a big difference in the long run.
The college has a book buy back program. What a frikkin joke. Honestly, if I pay $130 for a book and they offer me $35 for it, I would rather it set on my shelf collecting dust. So that's what my old books are doing. Collecting dust.
Anyways, this is end of rant. No updates for a while. School is killer.

New chapter of BBB!
Chapter 12 is up!
I hope Rory doesn't come across as a huge bitch. This is kind of a turning point in the story. I am not going to give things away, but I'm just going to say that it's important that Tristan was there to witness what happened.
Also, I know in the beginning of the story Rory was kind of a bitch, and I wanted to maintain that for the most part... for now. It all ties into the grand scheme of the story line.
Anyways, I start classes later today, so I don't know how updating will go. I'll try not to take a long time, but no promises. My priority for fics is to get the next chappy of Hidden Past up.

Updates...
Yeah, yeah, yeah... so I'm late with my updates. Again.
Really, did you expect me to actually follow my self-set deadline for a change?
I haven't started the next chapter of Hidden Past. I had a TERRIFIC idea for it, but my brain has blanked. Oh well, I'll figure something out. I'll try writing it tomorrow, otherwise It'll be another three months. The longer I let my writing set untouched the longer it takes me to get back into it.
BBB is going marvelously! I absolutely love working on it! I have started the next chapter, and I'm having sooooooo much fun with it.
I really, really want to start working on my original stories, but I want to finish some of my fan fics first. I have 2 sequels to current fics to start after I finish my fics, and after that, it's it. I don't see me starting anymore fics for a while. I plan to finish each and every single one that is currently up at ff.net, and then write a sequel to Hidden Past, and a sequel to Always There. There's a fic stewing in my computer... it has been for a while. It's a GG crossover. I don't know if I'll ever post it. Maybe if I finish it then I'll post it. Who knows.
I do know I'm DYING to work on my own stories. I have probably 13 that are dying to be written. Probably 8-10 are series.
Anyways, that's all for now folks!

Next chapter of BBB is on the way!
I am about 1/3 through the next chapter of BBB. I really want to focus more on the Lorelai/ Rory not talking and such. Don't worry, Tristan will be very involved with that.
I am soooo glad to be updating my fics again! I also started the next chapter of Always There, but that won't be up yet. I need to figure a couple things out with it. I think this is the last, or next to last chapter of it. I know exactly how I'm going to end it. There will be a sequel. The sequel will not be all happy and hearts and flowers. Think angst. I came up with the idea, and I was like, that will work! A couple of my readers actually made an incorrect assumption and gave me this idea.
Saga is officially on hiatus. That does not mean it won't be finished! The problem with Saga is I can NOT just write a page and then stop. It's got very long chapters from this point on, and it takes a few whole DAYS of sitting and doing nothing but writing it. I don't have the time because of school, and I don't have the chance because I have a husband. My husband is going back to Iraq no later than the spring, and possibly this fall. So, when he's gone I'll write it. Sorry, it's just way too much.
Hidden Past is going to have at least one more update while I'm out of school this week. I really, really want to just crunch these chapters out and finish it. It's soooo close to being done!
Alright, there's the scoop on the ones for now. I know I have tons of other fics, and fear not, I'll update them, but I'm pacing myself so I'll actually write something.

Hidden Past has been Updated!
I posted the latest chapter of Hidden Past! I'm SO SORRY it took me almost 3 months to get it out. On the bright side, I'm hoping to finish it soon. I should have another chapter out this week.
Guess what's Stewing in my Computer!
Come on, guess! Please?
Ok, I'll tell you- the next chapter of Hidden Past!
It's heavy on the Jake/ Rory- it's the last chapter that will be heavy on the Jory- and I just want to add a bit of someone else... not sure who yet, to lighten things up, and then I'll post it!
After this chapter, it's all Rogan!
But, this chapter sets up the sequel- which, btw, will be Jory! Yay!

Last final tomorrow!
I am sooo excited! My last final is tomorrow. Wish me luck. I have a week and a half off school, so maybe I'll get to update something then.
