C is for Cookie, that's good enough for me.

Winter has finally arrived, and to all you f-ers who enjoy this weather: I hate you with a passion. The only thing good about this blasted season is Christmas/Channukah/etc. I'm quite looking forward to this holiday season - not sure why. I guess I just feel in the spirt (already, which is scary). I already have to get a gift for a Christmas party in a few weeks...joy. I get to decorate my tree in a few weeks (which I'm excited about). Having it up now is too early, but in December it'll be acceptable.

Gwen is in two days, woot. Harry Potter in four. Rent comes in nine days. I'm psyched.

I'm currently reading Bloody Bones which seems to be a good book so far. The more I read this series though, the more similarities I see between my character Liz and Anita Blake. Not good. I've been working on developing my ideas for Aeris a little more though, so hopefully that'll help. I've also been trying to visualize Sham a little more - hopefully Laura and I can get more done with that in the coming weeks.

Running tomorrow, woot. I've been endevouring to eat breakfast in the morning, which has proved to be slightly successful:

Bowl of Almond Crunch Cereal.

Milk.

Mandarin Orange.

Berry Soy Juice.

It's an improvement. Between that and running I've been trying to take better care of myself. I'm going to see about maybe doing drop in classes at Vibe when I have time between shifts at work. We'll see if that gets off the ground, I hope so - I miss taking regular dance. I was in a check-stand next to Jen on Sunday and notice her doing dance stretches and commented on it (not many cashiers do dance stretched as work)...apparently she did gymnastics for nine years.

I have creative ideas rushing through my mind all the time now. I feel revitalized. Problem is I'm not writing. I haven't really forced myself to sit down and write since I finished my novel. I need some time away from that, at least for a bit. I have lots of ideas, and tonnes of sticky notes...but no actual words on paper. Maybe its for the best. Part of me considered doing NaNoWriMo this November, but I figured it would be akin to suicide. Between exams, holidays movie releases and the state of my room - I need time to catch up on my life.

Life...it's been good lately. Joshie and I are starting editing on my novel soon - which has been getting good feedback. School is going okay, nothing spectacular, but it's not a disaster like last year, which always gets my approval. Work is going decently well - no major complaints in that department.  The piano has been beconing to me lately - I still need to get to Tredwells and find some Vanessa Carlton music...hmmmm, remind me to tell Andrea that.

MERP anyone? I'll be on the horn about that soon, keep some time open in December. If you don't know what it means (or got Jessica's memo) please disregard.

Remember kids: C is for Cardiac Arrest! G'night!

Late Night Updates

• Theme Song: "Another Day (No Day But Today)" - Rent

It's a bit after midnight and I'm really tired so I'm going to bed soon (promise). I figured it was time for some sort of update on how things have been lately. I got my novel back from Terri and I got my first (really) positive review. Of course she had some critiquing comments to make, but that was expected and is more then welcome...but yay, someone liked it! It's not complete crap! Yay! That was definitely an exciting thing to learn. Now my mother and Sabrina are reading copies - which is rather scary. We'll see what they have to say about it.

The Gwen Stefani concert is in a week and two days. Woot! I'm quite looking forward to that. It'll be great. Yay!

As a note, anyone who is able to and interested is invited to join me in seeing Rent on the 23rd of November. I plan on going there and it'll be a blast. For those of you who don't know what Rent is...well you're not welcome to attend. :-P Just kidding. If you're interested in going, let me know. :-) Yay!

I work six days this week - boo-urns to that. It only gives me thiry hours though - which is decent, but still...six days. *Sighs* At least work pays good money, or I wouldn't be there still. That reminds me that I need to do some banking tomorrow. Hmmm, this post really has meandered a great deal. I think I'm going to head to bed and maybe work on some character ideas for my novel and maybe try to figure out some history for Shamiem. :-) G'night world!

...and remember, 'forget regret or life is yours to miss.'

Rent!

Rent opens on November 23rd!

The heart may freeze, or it can burn,
The pain will ease if I can learn,
There is no future, there is no past,
I live this moment as my last,

There's only us, there's only this,
Forget regret, or life is yours to miss,
No other road, no other way,
No day but today...

There's only us, only tonight,
We must let go to know what's right,
No other course, no other way,
No day but today...

I can't control my destiny,
I trust my soul, my only goal is just to be...

There's only now, there's only here,
Give in to love or live in fear,
No other path, no other way,
No day but today...no day but today...
No day but today...no day but today...

No day but today...
No day but today...
