Another Sa-turd-ay

Bleh, another sa-turd-ay, but today wasn't an RDA day-luckily, I mean, have you seen the weather outside? There is a river running through my backyard!

So, what have I been doing this week? Homework, school work, sose excursion, etc, etc. And what else? Well, I have contracted a mutant relative of the flu (I cant have the actual flu as I had the flu vaccine a few weeks ago) so I feel like #%&^ right now. I've been writing a lot and I updated my fic yesterday, the stats are (atm):

6 chapters, 61 reviews (1 review since I put it up last night), 2364 hits, 12 favorites, 30 alerts (+1)

So, yeah, I am rather disappointed with the reviews at the moment but I will just have to see what happens tomorrow (maybe I'll get the chance to throw a spaz at my readers for not reviewing-I-amazingly-got 16 reviews for the 5 chapter so I dont know what happened with this one)

As for my user stats, here they are:

Favorite of 13 members, alerts of 8 members, submitted 459 signed reviews, archived 63, 721 words and there are now 1062 hits on my profile page ^^ (YAY!)

So that's basically everything that I have been doing this weekend/the two days that I was off school and partly dead.

Today

First off, I would like to start this post with a picture that I found on Twilight Australia:

I think its quite sweet :P

And for the rest of this post I will talk about my new obsession with music...and not just any music:

Tank, Farenheit, Danson Tang, Jay Chou, etc.

There is no possible way that you could scare me Sheryl, I love it! And yes, the remix is very, very catchy!!!!

I have submitted 430 signed reviews on my ff.net account and there has been 1042 hits on my profile page ^^ (I guess the really like to pull their guns out and take shots at my profile :P) If I favourite 7 more stories then I will have favourited 200 stories, exactly

I am currently in the process of rewriting the first 2 chapters of New Hope/Shattered Sanctuary and hopefully I will have them done by tomorrow so that I can put them up with my next chapter. It's rather darker now than the humorous start that it got off to the first time around, here's a little taste of the very, very start:

A lone horn sounded from the dark forest, it cried out in the silence for a moment before it was cut off sharply, the scout pole axed from his horse. The watch on the walls at New Hope quickly signaled the alarm, Scanran raiders had surrounded the camp.

The commander of the camp watched from the main wall as her troops ran to raise the gates and man the battlements. It had been a month since the last attack on her camp and she had foolishly thought that they would be safe.

A flash of mail in the corner of her vision distracted her for a moment, thoughts of her friends flooding her mind. Neal had been among the first to fall, his magic of no use against a Scanran’s lance. His father had wept over his son’s body until an arrow bloomed from his back, another one to his temple following in quick succession. Kel had frozen in shock beside the bodies, endangering herself, until someone had grabbed her by the waist and dragged her down to sit against the wall.

She felt numb, apart from everything that was happening around her. She sat, motionless, as the Scanran’s flooded from the forest like oil across water. The walls were quickly overrun and the clang of sword fighting began to invade Kel’s thoughts. She stayed detached from her surroundings until someone fell down in front of her, blood pooling before her from a wound in the man’s side. Her heart shuddered as she realized that Dom was the man before her, clad in the mail of the Own and clinging to a bow that had fallen with him. He was with his uncle and cousin now, in the realms of the dead.

Kel turned her eyes from Dom to see a raider stood over her, broadsword grasped in a two handed grip. This would be her end as well.

Yeah, so it is a lot darker than the first write, but dont worry, there will still be quite a bit of humour in it xD

And something else that I must add in here, the baseball scene sounds kick-ass! (lolololol)

"Catherine Hardwicke, who's directing the scene for her adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's bestselling young-adult novel "Twilight," is excited about the sequence in which balls are hit with the force of cannon blasts and gravity-defying catches are the norm -- and about one gag in particular. In it, two players "are in competition to catch the same ball and have a huge, crazy midair collision 20 feet up in the air when a huge crash of thunder resounds," making it appear as though their clash created the resounding boom. One of them also "totally climbs up a tree crazy-style and catches a ball midair -- like way at the top of the tree. It's a really fun stunt.""

Procrastination

Procrastinatin is the bomb

We all do it (even John Howard and Kevin Rudd)and when we try to stop doing it we find that we are addicted....almost like a drug.

I am on the procrastiantion drug....maybe I need nicotine or something. But it is an addiction that I am proud of (and which usually gets me in a lot of trouble)

Here is an example of my dedication to the procrastination drug:

I have two english projects due tomorrow (a short story and a mind map) and I haven't started on either.....it is a DRUG!!!!

I did actually finish my science on time but I have forgotten to fix the formatting on one of the articles so Mr V is probably going to take my head off with a scalpel....*ducks and covers neck* I value my head!

My other addiction (or drug) would have to be fanfiction....without it I might just die ^^

I really want to read tonight but I obviously can't because of my first drug....maybe I need some more nicotine....

I have found a few ff's that are pretty good (they are Twilight ones so RUN AWAY!) and I will be going quite over the top in the holidays (i plan to review a lot of fics so if you have something that you want me to review....SEND THE LINK TO ME!!!!)

I should probably go now but I am really bored and we're doing nothing in sose but procrastinating (there's my first drug) and checking our ff.net accounts (second drug!) i seriously need to go cold turkey or something.....
