Did I spell apocalypse right? I think so, since my computer hasn't underlined it with an accursed little red squiggle.
Many things have happened since the last entry. Not all of them good, but in retrospect, I'm definitely better off now. Too much drama, man; it gets to you. Bitches be crazy!
I think I might be able to see the end of the rut I've been stuck in! I haven't written anything for myself since high school. All these college assignments must have burned me out! Yeesh. And now that the end of college is rapidly approaching, I can feel the creative juices starting to flow. I had a flicker of inspiration the other day! It was great. Felt like old times, when I could just randomly look at something around me and have an idea.
A gate in a backyard fence. That's what sparked an idea.
Admittedly, it's a small and spindly thing I'm toying around with. I'm afraid that if I push it too hard, I'll just kill this turnaround before it happens fully. Although, as a catch-22, if I don't write something, I'm afraid that all my writerly-ness will wither and die. Hmm, I feel like this paragraph has been dominated by an underlying plant metaphor. I must be on the mend!
Stay cool! It's hot out there!

I'm not dead! Well, not yet anyways. College is hectic as per usual. Currently enrolled in Intermediate Poetry. I've forgotten how good it feels to write in such nice, little, condensed units. Short fiction is awesome, but sometimes poetry...yeah. It really hits the spot.
Soooo gonna be posting mostly poetry for a while. Yep yep. I generally listen to music when I write/draw, so I'm trying a new experiment this time around. Going to write all the poems this semester listening only to the Battlestar Galactica soundtrack. So far, some iiiiinteresting stuff (in my opinion, anyway) has come of it. Roomie says that every poem is about Battlestar Galactica, but that's because she's looking for it. So don't any of y'all start doing that, or I might throw virtual pebbles at you.
Life is...awesome. Better than it has been in a while. Some good stuff has been happenin' all up in here.
Despite college and homework and work and stress, I'm probably the happiest I've been in ages. DEFINITELY not trying to sound emo, god no. (It did sound emo, though, didn't it? Whoops. Oh well, too bad.) It's not like life was a giant black hole of emotional wasteland and now it's all magically candy and rainbow unicorns and shit. I'm just happier than usual. Just trying to tell it how it is.
Random side note: The Secret World of Arriety was very good. Not like Princess Mononoke good, but it was a very solid one by Studio Ghibli. Props to you guys! Mucho arigatou! (Yeah, 2 languages, what of it?)

Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh
2 min read
It's late and I'm going to be rambly. Sorry in advance, hehe. I just had to get a new journal entry up; I was sick of staring at the old one.
Deathly Hallows part 2 opened this past Friday.
As did Winnie the Pooh.
Like any good '90s child, I had to go see both.
I haven't been that big of a fan of David Yates' work since he came on board the franchise with HP5. I've always felt like he wasn't quite in sync with the books; he kept leaving out the little things that made the original tales so magical. The acting was so-so, the editing of the story the same. (Don't even get me started on the lack of chemistry between Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright)
This most recent installment was pretty darn good, considering.
I'm not going to give anything away, but the book to film adaptation was better in this one. The battle scenes were intense, just like in the book. Perhaps even doubly so, as the film had to make up for the cutting of the battle scene from the end of the sixth book.
I was bored out of my mind with Deathly Hallows part 1, which I suppose is partially the book's fault. My friend (I can't remember who) described it as "the world's longest camping trip." Yep.... However, I'd actually go see part 2 again. Good job, Yates. (Finally.)
Winnie the Pooh was very, very, very adorable. If you have an inner child, go and see it. There are elements from the original Winnie the Pooh, as well as new ones that actually blend fairly well. Some of the voices have changed, but that's to be expected. The original theme song is present, although it's sung by a woman with an incredibly annoying/weird voice. Tigger (my personal favorite) sings his little theme too, and is just as hyper as ever.
I almost teared up with nostalgia at several points.

Writer's Block
1 min read
I'm just starting to realize what a rut I've been stuck in!
I haven't written anything longer than 20 pages since high school.
What the frick?
This is seriously annoying. Where has my drive to write gone? Have I lost the capacity to write and sustain a long plot? Have I lost the capacity to even COME UP with a long plot?
Some girl in my ENGL 300 class wrote 55,000 words in 16 days. SIXTEEN DAYS. Complete novel. The drive to write was so strong that she skipped class to finish this thing! And what have I done?
I just wrote a paragraph in an hour.
What the heck is the matter with me?
I need to find some new books to read.
I need to find some new places to be.
I think I should get out of the country for a while.
Anybody wanna go to Europe? Like, now?
Gaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......................

Hi guys.
I know it's been a really long time since I've posted anything, and I'm really sorry!
I have done a few drawings, but I don't have any means of posting them. I don't own a scanner, and my camera is about 200 miles away.
I'm probably going to be posting some short stories in a few days, but they're a bit longer than my previous stuff. They're gonna be put up in 2 chunks.
Peace!
