Weird...

So, has anyone out there ever gotten inspiration from a weird place? Last night I was working on one of my stories and got stuck. Like, I knew where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, but it wasn't going there. The story wanted to do it's own thing. As I was working, I decided to watch Supernatural. While I was watching it I decided I wanted Sweet and Sour Chicken. Bear with me...this is going somewhere...so twenty minutes later I was eating my chicken and rice, watching Supernatural, and drinking a Mike's Hard Lemonade. Then all of a sudden...poof...I had an idea. It was kinda weird. That it would come to me while I was doing something completely different. This story is no where near the plot of Supernatural. But...this isn't the first time I've gotten an idea out of nowhere. Usually it happens when I listen to music. I don't know, I am just glad it is going somewhere.

Well...I did it.

This morning I took the VTNE. It was crazy. I didn't think they would let me take it because I never got my confirmation letter from AAVSB. But they did and I was so happy. I would've been pissed if I woke up at 5:30am and drove 45 minutes to the testing site just to turn around. But like I said, it didn't happen so its all good. I used two of the four hours and 225 questions later I was done. I PASSED THE PRELIMINARY!!!! I will know my real score in three to four weeks. I am so much more relaxed now that it's done and over with.

I have more time to write now...it is taken off the back burner :))). I have another story bouncing around in my head, but I am going to finish the two I am writing first. I am doing some note taking instead of writing. Planning this one out will make it flow better, at least I think so. Also, I have more time to work out. I missed today because of the test and one other day this week due to studying so I am going to get back into the routine. I am doing well on it. I lost eight pounds so far. Not much, but it's a start.

I really need to clean my room too. Maybe soon I will get to sheet rock and paint it, my summer project. It is gonna look amazing. I am so excited for it. I already recruited some help from my bestie Probie. I know she'll help me because I told her that I would help her with her room.

I am watching Transformers right now (it's at the part where Sam calls Mojo a crack head...) and have Take Your Breath by Alexz Johnson stuck in my head. I am also thinking that I need to hurry up and have Supernatural season 5 in my hands pretty damn fast so I can have a three day marathon. Probie and I do it every time a new season come out we watch the series from beginning to end. I can't wait. I am gonna do the same when I get Instant Star season 4 in my hands. I am still wishing and hoping that there is a movie that wraps up the plot that the wrongfully left undone season 5 was supposed to. Stupid corporate decisions and the split of The-N and Noggin and the fact that the only things on this new TeenNick (aka The-N) is stupid reality shows and Degrassi. I <3>

Well that ends that rant.

I am gonna sleep now so...see ya.

Long time no see...

I know I haven't been around a lot lately, but I will try and be better.

My boards are in like eight days and I am starting to freak out even more. I am not ready for this. Not ready at all. I don't know how I am going to do this. I really don't. I need like another lifetime to get everything drilled into my head. I was studying calculations and realized that I STILL don't understand solutions, concentrations, and dilutions. I feel like a dumbass...I worked on ten problems for about an hour and still don't completely understand. On a different note...well, not really, hopefully the study session will help. It should, we usually do well together. I need to pass, the first time. I should probably shut up and start working again. Yeah, I'll get right on that...

I started working out this week. I am going to see how much I can lose before I go to Kenora in the middle of August and Toronto at the end of August. I need to get in shape for them so I am gonna work my ass off (literally). No dieting though, just being conscious of what I am doing because anything having to do with restrictions is going to fail with me. I can do moderation though, so wish me luck :).

I am thinking about starting to paint. I have wanted to for a very long time. I just need to make time and find a place to do it. I am thinking I will start with acrylic and then transition to oil. Probably will cut out watercolor all together. Maybe it can be another outlet for me. Not sure when I'll start, but I will keep you posted.

My writing has been put on hold until after the test. It sucks because I miss it, but I have to study. The characters are almost calling my name and everything...sad I know, but what can I say, they miss me.

I found some footage of Alexz (the best person ever) at the Ottawa Bluesfest on youtube. You have to check it out. She sings a few songs off of Voodoo, a couple off her Epic album that was shelved, one from Instant Star that she wrote, and a new one called Mary. I love Mary, it's very relatable and been stuck in my head all day. Lyrics are from www.alexzjohnson.com

Mary doesn't like nobody

She a real sad case

See Mary's like her lucky charms

Ya Mary doesn't know her place

The girl can't sleep

That Mary she can be real weak

She's got a heart of gold

But Mary thinks she's getting old

See Mary doesn't know somebody

Loves her more than life itself

She doesn't know somebody

Keeps a picture of her on their shelf

Mary doesn't know somebody

See's her eyes and begins to melt

Mary we'll wait

It's not too late

She doesn't know what she's missing

All the boys she'd be kissing

But she's deep in her head

C'mon Mary get your ass out of bed

I know I've read it in a story

But Mary never seems to bore me

She doesn't want to belong

Her mission is to prove you wrong

Chorus

Mary will come back someday

She'll find a way

There will come a day, I know

Mary will know what to do

She's breaking through

Well, I should get back to studying math and listening to the thunderstorm. Talk to ya'll later.
