writing planning

'Hazy' parts:

- smoking first cigarette, 11/09
- first college party, 12/09
- new year's, 12/09-1/10
- 80's party, 1/10
- 90's party, 2/10
- 420, 4/10
- 70's party, 5/10

So, it's currently going to be seven parts, though I expect I'll add to it as I do things. I'm trying out first-person again, and when I was planning out the beginning of the first part, I was thinking in David Sedaris's voice, which was weird. I might include those 'girly sleepovers', since drinking was involved, but we'll see. Probably not though...

and another one for today!

i really wanted to write something, so i meditated on my hair. i'm not sure if 'meditated' is the right word, but i wrote a little piece about my hair and why i like it. i decided to turn my nanowrimo journal into a general writing journal so as to not clutter this one.

random: i really like the combination of purple and green. like, i once did my eyes like this: green eyes, purple liner, purple shadow, green mascara. and right now my nails are green and i tried to do a sort of french nails thing with purple, only it didn't really work. but my class ring is purple.

hmm

There was a boy
A very strange
Enchanted boy
They say he wandered
Very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he

And then one day
One magic day
He passed my way
While we spoke
Of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
"The greatest thing
You'll ever learn
Is just to love and
Be loved in return"

[Nature Boy David Bowie]

idk...

it came to me when i was drying off after my shower. something about, "she was all subtle curves and uncombed hair." and that song from "moulin rouge" popped into my head. no idea where on earth i might go with this...

it's kinda distressing that practically everything i write is just glorified mary-sues... because i'm apparently incapable of making up my own characters and have to base them off of myself and the people i know...

anyway... IT SNOWED!!! LIKE, AROUND 2 FEET!! the roads are shit though, which is gonna suck when i have to go to work tomorrow... at least i don't go in till 10. i'm planning on leaving by 9 at the latest to give myself plenty of time to get there. hopefully the highways won't be horrible like the all-day weather news kept showing.

relevant to the snow:

power wtf??

sooooooo

today, as i was overcome by the results of my procrastination and camping out in the fab to finish my jewelry homework, something totally unexpected happened. [i'm only phrasing it that way because i've recently started writing again, so my brain is stuck...] i was using the flexible shaft drill to sand the shit out of my shit [that's what i told the roomies, cuz i'm cool...] when the power suddenly went out. like, no joke.

and for apparently no reason.

an upperclassman [or graduate, i'm not sure] sorta took charge and made sure the gas was shut off and we wouldn't all explode. and then we all had to clean up cuz we couldn't work. as i was cleaning up, i got a call from cesley about our own power being out.

sooo, that's a giant chunk of no power. it went out around 9:15. when i was walking back home i saw nicole, who had been stopped by two guys who were talking to her about jesus and stuff. i stopped, we bantered [lolz, my stuck brain...] and then she left with me, singing my praises! then we found out b&b had no power, so she went and got some stuff and has been hanging out at our place since.

well, she just left...

it was pretty fun, trying to do my bio lab homework with my bike headlight. ces was working on a painting for gdes, and liz had her guitar, and it was fun.

the power came back around 10:25, and we were happy.

also, today was the first day in a while that i didn't almost fall asleep in english. i think it's because we were discussing "a modest proposal," which i love, and was therefore actually interested in it. we have to read the entirety of "candide" for monday... good thing i got the book yesterday so i can more readily procrastinate and just end up with the spark notes like for "gulliver"... which, by the way, i still haven't gotten...
