writers' workshops are FUN! pilondial cysts are NOT!

okay, so it's been awhile since i've posted,
A) since i've been away from the computer a lot and B) because it's been really hard for me to sit down lately because i had a very, VERY painful cyst.

pilondial cysts are no fun, and if it comes back my doc wants me to have surgery.
SURGERY.
S.U.R.G.E.R.Y!!!!!

*weeps in the corner because i really don't like needles*

BUT after the doctor got me with a needle but made me feel much better, i got to go to a writers' workshop which was super fun.

it was hosted at my library by kristina mcbride, author of the tension of opposites which i still really need to read.

but she was absolutely fan-fricking-tabulous and super-nice to even me, Miss Talksalot.

she gave us a lot of information and ideas, and i found it all extremely helpful and i would much rather spend three hours every weekend like that rather than watching crappy movies at my father's.

plus, i made a couple of friends up that-a-way, which is awesome, because i know NOBODY where my dad lives. that know is now a knew.


EDITTTT::: okay, apparently flickr is not going to let me right-click-and-save or give me a screen so i can post a picture from a link (go die in a hole, flickr)
but i will give you the linky so you can have a looksee at the entire album.

i am the one in the floral dress, right next to the blonde who was the author (i gave her bunny ears in one of the pictures... heheheh :D), kristina mcbride, and the two girls in front of kristina and i are the friends i made. WOOT.
i am cut-off in all of the candid photos, so i am in like a total of three. but you can see my glasses, notebook, and sweater in a lot of them....

i am getting enrolled in my local high school tomorrow, and i am morbidly excited for school to start on the twenty-fifth.
except for the fact i have to read farenheit 451 and the alchemist in less than ten days...

oi vey.
