plot&paper project

hayyylooooo, lovie-doves.

back in computer apps, yet again!

and today, i don't have make-up work to finish, so free time!

acting class is simply amazing. i have the best acting partner.

we don't have assigned partners, but everybody pretty much stays with the same partner everyday.

his name is levi. and he is... adorable.

shut up, leila.

have you, dear readers, ever done the mirror exercise?

if so, you know just how tricky it is to move at the same time as the other person.
levi and i are scarily good at it.

plus, we've been working on "contentless scenes" where we, for example, count to ten, back and forth, while kind of acting out a scene. like a girl who has a crush on the football star (that one was way fun, though i think i may have been a little too good at it...) or like one person was going to murder the other.

very fun stuff.

but, the main reason for this post is because of the lovely glenna's (p.s. i ♥ your name!) plot and paper project.

most of you, i assume, have heard of NaNoWriMo.

that's national novel writing month, for those of you who don't know who that is.

i still plan on participating, unless i get really swamped.

one story at school, one at home.

NaNoWriMo's end-of-the-month goal is 50,000 words.

the plot and paper project is a novel written entirely by hand - no typing. the goal is 180 pages by december 31.

since i prefer writing by hand and i am obsessed with pretty notebooks and pens, this project is perfect for me.

so, i'm in.

i'll likely be posting progress reports on either thursdays or sundays -- sometimes even both.

sore throats & G.D.O-s

hello, loves!

i love sundays. especially sundays where i get to have a g.d.o (girl's day out) with my momma. 

we went to one of my favorite little towns (think stars hollow, but full of hippies and hipsters), in search of a seemingly elusive stitch-n-bitch.

we didn't find it. we checked every coffee shop in town (there are about ten), and every single one referred us to a different one.

it was still fun, though.

and, in the end, i got an early birthday present::

a hematite and sterling silver ring, with rather complex metal work. i looooooooooove it.

but, i was walking around all day with a sore throat and a sinus headache.

which sucked.

like, majorly.

since i was about half done with my english essay prior to the weekend, i am going to finish it tomorrow. tonight, it is veronica mars and pull-n-peel twizzlers.

om nom nom.

i love three day weekends a crazy amount.

especially after a friday full of unexpected twists and turns.

first, zoe and i were waiting for the first bell (the one that allows us to go to our lockers -- until then, we're stuck outside, in the lobby, or in the cafeteria) and we were walking around. i can sum up this event in two words::: haylooooooo nelson.

freshman aren't supposed to be that cute. or tall. it's against the rules.

second, zoe dragged me into the cafeteria. i am never in there before school starts, so it was weird for me.

what was even weirder was my ex-boyfriend (who now has a mohawk -- UGHHHHH) hugged me. hugged me.

*shudder*

then, in either biology or computer apps, (i think it was bio because we were setting up an experiment...) zoe was like "i can introduce you to nelson/set you guys up." 

conflict of interest, here. a) i wanna stick to my "lonely hearts club" pact, but b) dayummmm.

 and, to top it all off, andrew (also known as pickleseimer) for some reason is being nice to me.

dubya tee eff?

well, the twizzlers and netflix await me.
