| NA NO WRI MO!!!!!! |
[01 Nov 2009|03:09am] |
In case you didn't know, I am doing NaNoWriMo this year, and am off to a great start. If you don't know what NaNo is, check out nanowrimo.org. Link to my author page is http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/user/437759, in case any of you are interested in following my progress. If not, that's fine too. please feel free to poke me, bug me to write, encourage me, or do anything else that you think would help me to get to 50k words and some new friends. I went to a kickoff party tonight, and it was quite a hoot! My goal is at least 2k per day so that I can be done in 25 days.
Anyways, I probably won't be posting in here because of it (not that I do much posting anyways). But just thought I'd let you know.

| I just discovered this song... |
[25 Oct 2009|10:05pm] |
The story that the lyrics tell isn't as relevant, but certian lines ring so very true.
"Shadow Of The Day" by Linkin Park
I close both locks below the window
I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way
[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]
In cards and flowers on your window
Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple
Sometimes good bye's the only way
[Chorus]
And the sun will set for you
The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day
Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
[End Chorus]

| Loving a Person by Sara Groves |
[04 Oct 2009|09:12pm] |
Loving a person just the way they are, it's no small thing
It takes some time to see things through
Sometimes things change, sometimes we're waiting
We need grace either way
Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through
There's a lot of pain in reaching out and trying
It's a vulnerable place to be
Love and pride can't occupy the same spaces baby
Only one makes you free
Hold on to me
I'll hold on to you
Let's find out the beauty of seeing things through
If we go looking for offense
We're going to find it
If we go looking for real love
We're going to find it

| i continue to be amazed... |
[02 Aug 2009|09:27am] |
at how not-unhappy I feel down here. How not-depressed. I mean, i knew I was in a bad way up in Oregon, but it amazes me to realize how much energy I must have been putting into trying to be my usual cheery self up there, how much effort it took, for so long. Well over a year, possibly two. Life down here is supposedly more stressful, and definatly with its downsides, but it's all stuff I can deal with with an (basically) effortless smile. I could conquor the world as long as I don't have to daily deal with my own personal demons!
They say running away from your problems does no good, but I reject that and say that time and spaces does wonders!

I hate it when I have talked myself out of every single person that I could possibly talk to.

ender in exile by orson scott card
p107 It would be so much easier if I weren't determined to do what's best for everybody. Whoever said virtue is its own reward was full of crap.

| Short quote from Enchantment by Card |
[12 Feb 2009|10:29pm] |
p 303.
He needed to think. About what, he wasn't sure.
So instead he thought about nothing. About things in the room. About the athletic trophies in a box in the closet. How much of his life was that? The shelves of books - so much time reading. Neither of them amounted to anything. He ran. He lost or he won. On one remembered a week later. And the books he read - what did they amount to? University people were always so proud of being readers instead of television watchers, but what was the difference, really? It was a one-way transmission. I read, but it made no difference to the writer. he never knew. And when I'm dead, what will it matter what books I read? My memory is where the book ends up, just like the TV show, and when I'm dead, that memory is gone from the world.

So, in case you haven't heard (or, you know, -experienced- it for yourself), PTowne has gotten a super lot of snow ove rthe past week or so. Like, about a foot, all told. I spent a good portion of last week hanging out with some close friend snad trying to get snowed in together, with varying degress of success. Then this weekend both of my roommates got snowed in at other parts of the PDX-Metro area, so I had the house all to myself. It was quite lovely on some levels, but also sad cus I had no one to have a snowball fight with. Also, I spent a lot of time working on last minute Christmas gifts, so i didn't have much time to play in the snow. Or make a snow angel. The snow is so pretty and white. I tried to leave it as unbroken as possible in our front yard so I could look at the pretty. De-snow/icing my car so I could put it into the garage on Monday was quite an ordeal. Yesterday my uncle came and picked me up, and this morning he took me to the Max so that I could get to the airport to fly to visit my parents for Christmas. A big part of me doesn't want to go to Sac at all- it means I will probablly miss the rest of the awesome snow, and I am just plain tired of traveing. I get back to town on the 30th, provided that the weather is ok for flying. I'm so glad I was here for most of thos series of stors. I -did- move north in large part because I wanted snow!
