feliz viernes!!!!! *squee*

haylooo lovie-dovies.

and

haiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mommehhhhhhh!!!

i. love. you.

you may have noticed my hiatus(?) on twitter over the past couple of days.

basically, i got in trouble.

so i won't be on twitter for... as long as my mom decides.

BUT she said it's okay for me to blog at school as long as there isn't anything else for me to do.

so, here i am.

oh. my. effing. god!!!

tomorrow is homecoming!!!!!

aaaand i have a date!!!!! (for those of you who do not follow me on twitter)

i am so excited. he is awesome. and i get to see him in my next class *goofy llama grin*

well, real quick i'm gonna do the fill-in-the-blanks from the little things we do.

1. True happiness is being loved, being stable, and living life.

2. The most surreal moment of my life was... I don't have one. Not yet.

3. My favorite texture is silk and velvet. Or really soft denim. I love jeans when they are that reaaaaally super soft denim...

4. My signature color is black or brown. Though I look dang good in jewel colors (deep purples, red orange, emerald to forest green, various blues...)

5. My signature style is cute but comfy. And, to me, skinny jeans (or jeggings), a funky top, some cool jewelry, and some form of high heeled boot is cute and comfy.

6. If I could choose one store to spend my life savings at, it would probably be Forever 21 or Macy's. I love them both. They have the right amount of funky and chic.

7. My best thing about autumn is EVERYTHING! Autumn is my absolute favorite season. The colors, the chill, the football games, the school, the fact that it's finally acceptable to wear jeans, boots, scarves, and drink hot chocolate daily.

we have a pep rally at the end of school today, so study hall is gonna be cut short. i only have a little bit of time left.

later lovelies.... and mah favorite mommeh in the whole world C:

xoxo,

rissa



plot & paper update - 93 days left!

hayloo lovies.

i've been busy working on a paper in english, so i've been using my extra time in computer apps to work on that.

update on the whole asking-someone-to-the-dance thing?

breanna refuses to tell me if he has a gf until 7 period TODAY.

grrrrrr meanie.

if not, i'm asking him tomorrow or forever living in shame.

p l o t ♥ a n d ♥ p a p e r ♥ p r o j e c t

according to asheyna , there are 93 days left until the end of the plot and paper project.

i am currently somewhere in the middle of chapter two, and on about page 27.

i feel like i'm doing well, avoiding distractions for the most part (i do not qualify twitter (or castle or glee) as distractions. they are research tools.)

i'm writing pretty much every chance i get, in place of people watching after i get done in class.

(re)learning is kind of a typical young adult romance novel, though i like to think that, though it's a stereotypical YA, it's different. a lot of YA novels that i DON'T like have boooring dialogue that is "correct" way to write it.

real teenagers don't talk like that.

real teenagers conversations are fast, quick-witted, and innuendo-filled.

we don't talk just to pass information.

we talk to talk.

we use slang, made up words, and use regular words to mean other things.

girls sometimes give guys codenames like "yahoo" or "google" or "lovah boy" (i hate you, leila. jk. luvvs yew :P)

teenagers don't always say what they mean.

and i feel like many novels capture that.

during all of my fast-paced dialogue, coffee-dumping, slap-facing action, i have alluded to asheyna.

a few weeks ago, when a certain person called me a femi-nazi ignorant etc., she mentioned to me that once, a(n) (ex)boyfriend had called her a Soul-less Ice Queen.

Excerpt:

"As soon as she walked away, I muttered under my breath. 'I thought I was supposed to be the soul-less ice queen extrodinaire!'

'Darling, you still are. She just gives you a run for your money.'"

end scene.

you see, that is how my friends and i talk. we don't use proper grammar, we say words that don't even exist!

and that is how i make my characters talk.

♥

i am a strange person. i hardly ever have any homework, except for bigger stuff, because i mostly get it done at school. i have a mandatory 30 minute study hall (which i mostly use for writing), and i typically have a lot of time during class. which leads to me not having homework.

mainly because i don't talk that much during class.

unless zoey is in there....

*waves at zoey next to me*

gotta go!

xoxo,
