Hope?

I was reading around, articles, stories etc. when I found this. Being very very interested in creative writing and dreaming about the day I can get something published (very, very futile dream, or so I thought...) it was so refreshing to read something like this. In our world today, there are hundreds upon hundreds of great, even brilliant authors. For aspiring ones to have that kind of talent to look up to is amazing, but also a little intimidating. You've got to admit, the market today is extremely competitive and originality can be hard to find. However, the whole point of writing is to get your thoughts and feelings across. If you give up on those then what's the point of dreaming to be published? This is exactly what this article is all about. Don't give up, because you never know when you're going to be spotted. Personally, I know how hard it is to stick with an idea, for me at least. I must have started tens of stories, fanfictions and whatnot, but I never follow through, that's my problem! It's either, 'I'm too busy' or 'This really sucks!' or something else. Well, all I can say now is that I'll try my best to stick with my ideas, no matter how long it takes.

Several issues addressed

First of all, thank you my dear head-priestess for responding to my queries. I am duely honoured to have a whole section of your blog dedicated to me. To say the least, your interesting life compensates for the lack of mine...heh...

We're moving houses. Because of our financial situation, we're moving into a smaller house for about 6 months after which I go back to Canada. However, I didn't realise how much smaller till I saw it yesterday. It's tiny! And I mean cramped tiny, not cosy tiny. The living room has a potential to be cosy once the furniture's all in and stuff, but the bedrooms have barely room for one bed each, let alone room for a bed and a study table....*sigh*...my only consolation is that it's only for 6 months AND that I'm moving closer to some of my friends (thanks for reminding me Fred...heh) which would mean stereo and ACDC benefits at his place (might I remind you that it's a dangerous offer, but oh well...) This whole thing will hopefully teach me some...humility.

One of my very good friends in Montreal, Florence, did the sweetest thing for me on my birthday! She burned a CD with pictures of my friends and loads of audio clips from them too! Which she took the time to record between all her homework and studying for exams and all! The clips are awesome! (My mom did hear you swear a bit Mel...lol...*gasp**horror*..."no, of course I've never used such a word mother! I'm horrified"...*grin*) Florence, si tu lis ça, je t'adore jusqu'au étoiles ma p'tite Floodie! I was sooo happy after I heard those clips, ç'a pas d'allure! Lol...dans quelle langue je parle?!

Apart from that, Melissa (another great friend...who's suddenly intelligent now...lol...) is writing short stories for her P.P. (stands for 'Personal Project' for all you Londoners) which I'm very proud of, since she's a great writer! Wang, you should really read some of her stuff, I'll try to show you some if she lets me. And Mel, baby, you've gotta let me beta-read for you (return the favour so to speak)! By the way, blow them away with your rockin' skills! Heard you continued your guitar lessons! Way to go!

Well, I should go too. See ya buddies!

Début vacations tirade

Wow...exams are finally over! Never thought I'd get through them, taking a lot of sciences and higher math has a very negative effect on one's neuroticism, believe me. By now, I'm used to failing, something at which I would have been reduced to tears a few months ago, something that I don't do very often, crying that is. But hey, you've gotta face up to it someday. As long as I can claim to be somewhat intelligent and intellectually impressive, I'm fine.

Yes, holidays have finally started and I'm stuck here trying to do homework. It's kinda hard trying to get into the festive spirit when you're staring at the blank page of what's supposed to be an essay. The thing is, I'm moving to a different house on New Year and before that I may be going to Vancouver for a few days, so I won't have access to the computer for a while and being the excellent student that I am, I'm trying to finish my homework before that. So, I'm really sorry guys, but I'm gonna be boring for about a week or so. No wild guy-on-guy or girl-on-girl themed parties for a while, no getting horny in math, no admittance of homosexuality, man is it gonna be boring!

Heh...can you tell I read Jenny's blog? Far from finding it sickening, beautiful, I found it hilariously interesting! How did you react when your childhood friend told you she was a lesbian? Lol...that's the kinda stuff we used to study in health class in my old school, it's great! And the horniness in math, I think you stumbled on a gold mine as far a the guys are concerned. You can take advantage of that knowledge dude...hah...don't tell Robert I said that...(:P) By the way, I seriously wanna go to a 'guy-on-guy' themed party! After all, why should the guys have all the fun with the whole lesbian thing? Promise me you'll take me when I come to Norway! Lol...I'm sure I traumatised Wang with that...

Talking about traumatised, May and I were talking about something that I realised a few days ago and I think I should put it down in writing. Our group is the most sick-minded one in the whole school. Surprised? I was too. You'd seriously think that Etienne, Phillippe, Yuji and the lot would be much less innocent-minded than the rest, but they seriously aren't. True that they're crazier in real life, but when it comes to interpreting jokes, they're so innocent! I mean they're seriously shocked whenever one of us tries our humour on them, it's amazing! They'd be terrified if they had lunch with us one day, the things we talk about! Wow, really makes us appreciate are sense of humour lol...

Ok, I've gotta go tackle a blank page. For all you writers out there who know that this is the hardest thing in the world, pity me please.

Cherrio my dahlings!

P.S.: Questionning the title entails questionning Ippy's mind...don't try it.

Loony side?

Loony side? Hah! I'm waaaay past the loony side! I've my own side now, called the Ippy side...craziness is a thing of the past on this side buddy.

Pixar, Disney...same difference (my cousin will make me pay dearly for saying that...), but as I am better acquainted with Disney, I claim that they are the geniuses!

17, with a mental age of 4

Happy birthday to meee, happy birthday to meee, happy birthday, happy birthday, happy birthday to meee! 17! Can you believe it? Me! 17! And worse, in a year, 18! Legal! Woohoo!!! The use of this many exclamation marks should be outlawed, but I can't help it, I'm too happy!!!

Had a party yesterday. It was really great, except for the last few hours when I felt really sick. I slept the whole time and felt sooo bad later. But hey, it wasn't my fault...Anyway, we went to see The Incredibles. It's an awesome movie! Amazing, great, anything you want! Disney is getting better and better at this subtle adult humour thing which makes them geniuses! I loffed it! I want a family like that, seriously! Afterwards, we just came back to Mehreen's house and chilled (me sleeping for the entire time!). But me feeling sick just seemed to give the others incentive to torture me! I mean come on! You don't beat up a sleeping girl with a fish! Who does that? And it got worse when the guys started molesting it. It was bad enough that it was a fish, but the fact that it was Nemo just drew the line. After a while I just gave up and tried to ignore the crazy people (which wasn't easy since there were a LOT of them...)

I got a lot of presents! Great ones! The Laughing Corpse (Anita Blake) by Laurell K. Hamilton, signed!! Back in Black, ACDC!!! A chocolate fondue making thing, which I have to try very very soon! A very pretty photo frame and a beautiful bracelet, a shirt, a sports armband and...a box of tea, which was the strangest gift I have ever gotten, not bad at all, but weird...Anyway, still waiting for a few more...*rubs hands together*

And now, even though it's me real birthday, I gotta go do my homework. Suckiest thing in the world!
