Uneventful Day

Hello All,

Today was completely uneventful and has me begging for the fast-paced lifestyle of my Boston school life. I don't even care that I will obviously need to do homework and classwork and lots of boring textbook readings while I'm at school, at least I'll be working, and I'll have my friends back with me, and I'll be doing SOMETHING productive!

I was really sore from the gym the last two days, so I took a day off today, and I think it really messed with my day's motivation, because I told myself that I was going to write at least 10 pages of one of my stories, but I got down maybe two pages of one story, and then I started to switch to another but I got distracted by a twitter video from Disney and from the fast-fading light of the day outside, and it's difficult to write in bad lighting.
Also, am I the only person in the world who still writes their stories in a notebook? I realize this probably makes finishing something that much longer to accomplish, but I just feel like it's more personal and more a part of me and my mind and my soul if I take the time and energy to carve it out on lined paper and pen ink. Don't you? Or am I just being a sentimental, tree-killing fool? Even if I am, it will probably take a long time for me to change my ways, anyway. Probably the only that could give me a motivation to do such a thing is a VERY high paycheck, and even then I'll probably still try to write as much as possible down in my favorite college-ruled notebooks.

I've also learned something today:
Writing while watching movies/tv is not very productive, writing-wise. Its just plain distracting, and it throws off your focus and makes it difficult to concentrate on either project, the story or the movie, and you just waste time. Music has a similar affect on me, unless it's wordless background music. If there are words, and I know them, I won't be writing, I'll be singing, and I can't do both.

I'm watching Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" right now and it's SUPAH cute! Love this movie so much.

also, just saw this commercial when I signed on to YouTube to look for the "Spirited Away" commercial. Cute and it gets right down to the point, plus I LOVE FUNIMATION Studios!

That's all, I guess.
Oh! Also, I finished "Clockwork Prince", by Cassandra Clare, and I think it's my favorite. I am in love with Jem. I'm only very scared that he won't get a very happy ending in the last book, "Clockwork Princess," but I hope to God he does -he's my favorite character right now, and I really think that if Tessa could man up and give him a chance, she and Jem could be very happy together.
But anyway, you should read the series. Start with "City of Bones" and go on from there.
It's an AMAZING series.

That's all,
Thanks for reading!
