So, I'm not going to most the frillion links to set reports that came out today. However, I would like to address how excited I am about the details that have been revealed about the Volturi. As you probably know, they are my favorite characters in the series, and no matter how brief their appearance will be in New Moon, I am really excited to see them.

You blog. Well, the whole "I have nothing to do" thing is a slight falsehood. I actually have a few things to do, all of which concern college. The crushing weight of figuring out what the heck is going on with orientation is over, but my current mission is to plan out an ideal schedule for the next four years. Easier said than done, considering I don't yet know if I can double major, or if I will use one of those years to start grad school (since I've almost got enough credits to be a sophomore when I start). That's the purpose of the course-of-study planner. Which I must complete by the first day of classes or get kicked out of the Honors Program. ( Incredibly long, panicky description of orientation, which you should only read if you're honestly curious how awful/awesome college is )Oh, do you know how my first conversation with an English professor went? HER: How are you? ME: I'm doing good. HER: ... ME: I MEAN WELL. *dies* HER: It's okay. It's colloquial, right? *facepalm* | |

I got hit by this massive vampire attack (vampire: (n) 1. any person, thought, or feeling that stands between you and your creative self-expression.) yesterday. I was sifting through my novel-in-progress. Basically, it sucks. The vast majority of it was written for NaNoWriMo nearly three years ago, so before I can even contemplate finishing it, I have to go back and rewrite everything. I think it could honestly be a good story if it tried, but I've been working on it so long that it's hard to even tell what's working. So, I'm reading through bits and pieces of it, and just sort of opening myself up to new ideas that could make it more fresh, or whatever. And all of a sudden, my mind says, Why don't you let FEMALE #2 AND MAIN GUY get together at the end? ( ME: What? )Okay. Just had to logic that out with myself. It'll be a task, but... I think I'll try changing it. Oh, MOOD THEME. Throwing a branch is such an accurate visual metaphor for my mind right now. - Tags:specimen #65, writing

Gosh, I just find it so ridiculously satisfying to start out with organized tags. soulfromthesoulI'll be posting reviews, discussions, and news about various authors and their upcoming releases. Emphasis will be on Young Adult fiction. Watch it if you'd like. I've already posted all the reviews I've done this year (which aren't a lot... I've been horrible at reading this year.) I also would be open to any suggestions anyone has for must-read books. | |

( Skip over for grossness )Anyway. YouTube highlights! I love So You Think You Can Dance. I didn't start watching it until last year, and the only reason I started watching was because of their insanely good choreographers. They make stories out of the dances, and it's just beautiful to watch. Anyway, so last night, this couple got the contemporary category, which is definitely my fave, and the choreographer wrote them a dance about vampires. Well, I was immediately intrigued, and then the song comes on, and they're dancing to "Eyes on Fire" by Blue Foundation from the Twilight soundtrack. It is definitely my favorite song in the movie, so I was ecstatic. And then the choreographer, Sonya, did a little excited jump when one of the judges mentioned it was reminescent of Twilight. I totally love her now. Anyway, it's really beautiful, and you should watch it. The actual dance stars at about 2:35 in. Then, we have this behind-the-scenes look at Princess and the Frog, which shows more characters and a little more of Tiana, which I really like. She promises to be a kick-butt heroine. I love when she's with her friend. And Louis the Alligator is the cutest thing ever. Can't wait for this movie. | |

01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their livejournal. 02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper. 03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this. The point is to see what you had on.  1. This is Mina, the main character from my current writing project, which is entitled "Kiss of Death." 2.) It also features the first line of the first chapter, which I think is really neat. ("Mina had never been comfortable being dead...") 3.) It was drawn by one of my most awesome deviantART friends, coleslawari, AKA Ari Cole. 4.) It was the winning entry for a one-hour fanart contest I got to host, and I liked it so much that I made it my desktop. 5.) It's a gorgeous rendition of one of my favorite characters, and it serves as great inspiration when I'm totally stuck. :D | |
