WIP Wednesday...

Okay okay... so it's actually 2 o clock in the morning...on Tuesday... but I was too excited and felt I had to share the news!


So... I completely and utterly failed NaNo this year. Got zero words written down. Fab. Just fab Hadha. But now that it's break, I feel like pulling it out and working on it again! It's coming together nicely. I changed some major things around and everything feels nicer. I think I might puke out a few sentences before going to bed.

Toodles. Happy holidays to you all.

Ten Things -- Jenna White

Got this from Jenna:

Ten Truths

1. I always fall asleep before opening a text book, after it's open, I'm perfectly fine.

2. I actually did NOT vote for Obama OR McCain. Green party all the way.

3. I get crushes on the strangest people. Especially Asian boys who don't speak English.

4. You ever seen heaven? I have... his name is Kim Bum. Google it.

5. I love the act of sleeping. Not just the thought or idea of it, the actual act. And I can control my level of consciousness. Pretty handy in school.

6. I wish I spoke Japanese. And wore a cute skirt to school. And had heart shaped bangs. Okay! So I wish I was an anime character.

7. I have a legit F in my physics class. Legit.

8. I swallowed a penny when I was five. Abe Lincoln mocked me in the x-ray from within.

9. I own two horses, of whom I've only seen one, and ridden once. The other I've never seen. Neither have names yet.

10. I actually AM a princess. Patriarchal culture= eldest male in charge/control of extended family. My dad = eldest male = me being the princess.


In other notes, I got accepted to Dearborn. Hooray! But I also realized they're a crappy school with sticks up their butts and not willing to compromise. Not sure I wish to go there anymore.

I got in...

To one of the four colleges I applied to...


Until recently it was my top choice.

:\ waiting on the others now.

Physics final Thursday... Calc final Friday... wish me luck!

Did I say I could breathe again?

...damn.

Many apologies

I owe myself a human life before a blog post. I'm currently away indefinitely. Do not wait for me. Thank you.

Sunday, October 25, 2009

gone.gone.gone.


seeya.

Monday, October 19, 2009

Terribly sorry

If I could explain to you in one blog post how busy I am lately then I hope you still understand through lack of blog post.


Physics is my life right now. I'm terribly sorry if I owe you something or vice versa... I won't get around to it at all this week! Sorry in advance!

"Even though they only scored ONE goal!"

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I oddly feel better even though I got no cake or e-card, and I'm still being repeatedly stabbed in my own induced hell called 'AP Physics and AP Chemistry homework'. I'm getting a cake tomorrow. My favorite kind; Chocolate Chipper from Coldstone Creamery. :D :D

Thought I'd lay out some life goals:
-- Pray! Get back in the game before Ramadan ends, at least before STP!!!
-- Memorize Ghamdi's style of recitation. I found the perfect hafiz! His style is so flowery and deep and intense. ALMOST feminine, without being so. Just what I was looking for!
-- Pass school. I mean really, I need this more than anything else. Here's my order of importance:
  1. AP Physics
  2. AP Chemistry
  3. AP Calculus
  4. AP English
  5. AP Spanish
  6. World History
  7. Photography
And by passing I mean ALL A'S! I'm going to get intense this year and if I fail in anything [B+ or lower] I will cry. Literally.
-- STOP daydreaming about STP! It's in November so I'm obviously getting too excited too fast!
-- Plan a date with Randi for my photoshoot! So excited! She's not the best photographer around, and she's not as good as me, but she's my friend and I adore her! Her enthusiasm really gets me pumped too! PLUS she's doing it for free! What a sweetheart!

Alright, now for some writing goals:

  • Finish Darkened Ivy before STP! And have it beta'd as well!
  • Completely outline [I have problems with this... serious problems] the first book of my trilogy Alnair by Christmas break.
  • World-building. Get on it. I plan on taking my world-building questions to physics and chem class and see what inspiration is sparked there. :D
  • Outline NaNo project by Halloween! [Already halfway done with this one!]
  • NaNoWriMo Participant 2009! Yay! My first year! I found some fabulous people in F. Hills that do at least 4 Write-ins every NaNo! [I lived in that city for 15 years and AFTER moving I notice that there's actually someone there who likes writing? Not just someone, but a whole lot!]
  • For NaNo--> Write Fool's Bride and finish completely.
  • After NaNo: Send Fool's Bride off to be beta'd. I'm looking for a beta, so if anyone wants to step up please let me know! :D
That's all for now I guess. *looks up* Holy cow that's a lot! Did I mention I just had a nephew and he's living with us? XD *dies* I'm definitely going to be thriving on caffeine this year.

*whistles*

Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday to me,
Happy birthday dear Hadha,
Happy birthday to me.

:( Why am I so utterly depressed on my birthday? Oh wait... is it because I'm 17 and ALMOST legal... just not quite yet? Or is it because I'm stuck doing the dishes, chemistry homework and physics homework on my birthday? Or is it because it's labor day, and everyone has the day off and they're all gone celebrating everything but my birthday?

Oh well. School starts in two days. I think I'll manipulate someone into giving me some physics answers before then. Just cause it's my birthday.

Available or single? -- Isn't this the same thing? *is confused* Well, anywho, I'm taken. Sorry!

Kids and their names? -- In the future, at LEAST four. Willing to adopt... and Jalal for a boy and Marwa for a girl. :D

Number of siblings? -- One brother, one sister. Both are married so all in all 4 siblings.


Oranges or apples? -- Clementines.


Phobias and fears? -- Dieing while owing debt, being a freaking educational failure, never being good enough at one thing to advance, coming off as a bitch, lack of introspective personality.

Your fave food? -- Pretty much anything brown [except nihari! ugh!] and Arabic. And Japanese. And Mongolian. :D


Zodiac sign? -- Virgo! :D Wouldn't it be ironic if I wasn't a virgin?

I watched the first CCS movie the other day... HEAVEN PRETTY MUCH! It was sooo sad cause the evil lady wasn't evil... she was just sad that the one guy [Clow] she loved left her... AND he was homosexual. With Yue. And evil lady didn't know that either. I adore Yue, even though he's gay. I'm a little shameless and I always stick him with Toya anyways. PLUS I never saw Clow having a need to be gay. I mean it just doesn't add to the plot line. Sure, Yue being gay fits because Yukito [Yue's alter ego] is gay too and that's fine. But I'd rather Clow NOT be gay... for a few reasons:

1) Doesn't advance plot line. There is no freaking need for him to be gay.
2) Makes no sense. I mean c'mon! Clow is so sexy! He couldn't find someone to sleep with so he created a homosexual [gorgeous] guy with wings to have a relationship with? Chyea, not believable.
3) I'm sick and tired of falling for all the gay guys... WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?! [I don't have problems with them being gay, it's just that I can't daydream the same because I'm like "Oh, that's not realistic because he's GAY. Never gonna happen!" *shuts off daydream sequence*]

XD Oh well. Even if they're all gay... they're still nice to look at. XD

穏やかな夜に、私はこの一曲だけを歌う

So over at the forums we've decided [a while ago] to have a friendly NaNo competition. :D And... *drumroll* I've decided to join in!

Cue: faint!

I know, I know! I'll fail miserably! But this is probably the one chance I'll get to write out this story that's been bugging me for months. It's not something I'm proud of either. *shudders* It's romance... Here's a little blurb:

Avelina Georgess is a show-stopping city girl who has her perfect dream wedding planned out. Apple green dresses for her bridesmaids, three tiered cake by the best bakery in New York, and of course, the rich, handsome and employed fiance. All that's left is the perfect wedding dress, and where else to get to get the perfect dress than to have it hand made by a private tailor? So Avelina heads back to her small hometown to have her dress made by the local tailor. But there she finds so much more awaiting her. A spoiled childhood love tears out of her past and comes fluttering into the present, leaving Avelina wondering what really defines true love. Saturated with heartache, redemption and tears, author Hadhafang weaves the story of two lovers who were never really star-crossed.

*cough* In other notes: here's something to keep you laughing for a while. From one of my favorite comedians.

Stand by me, my heart is naive and new to love.

Go slowly, this is the first promise we [my heart and I] have made.

Ramadan Mubarak! Finally here! Went to TC today for the first time since May? It's BEAUTIFUL! Simply stunning... and the classrooms are... well... let's just say I can't wait for school to start again just because I'm a teacher. XD

Baby! Baby was born a little premature. About 2 weeks... maybe a little less. When you're in your mother's womb, the last thing to develop are your lungs. Every day of growth makes a massive difference. When born premature, they keep you in an incubator in a sterile environment the same temperature as the womb. You develop on your own, just like in the womb. So right now his lungs are developing while he hangs out with the other babies in the nursery.

XD The nurses can't say his name right... they call him "Mufasa" with dead serious expressions... I think they really believe that's his name. XD Reminds me of this favorite part of mine from The Lion King.

Saturday, August 15, 2009

It's the time we waste; swallowed into space...

Finally! As you all know I am a full-blown A Fine Frenzy fanatic and her new music video is finally out! I adore it! It's the perfect mix of child-like innocence and teenage-like hunger for the unknown. And the special effects are corny enough to put a smile on your face. :D

Blow Away


In other notes; not going to the camp, but that's okay. I still have STP to look forward to in November. Driving alllll the way to Canton tomorrow and might be going to Cedar Point on the 20th with Sumi and her friends. :D Now I'm off to sleep with my chemistry book! :D [School, I have a sudden desire for it again. I love learning but I hate my school. Darn.]

End of Summer Depression

Y'know how senioritis is a disease? Well so is end-of-summer depression. And I've been hit...

I went to my sister's house yesterday for five-ish hours. Hung out, watched food chanel and took a nap. Then I came home and read a book about a girl who's a senior in highschool and her sister is exactly ten years older than her. I started crying like a baby, because it was exactly my story... I mean we don't have a drunkard mother or other problems, but we've had out fair share. It was ten o'clock at night and I was about to call my sister and tell her I missed her while bawling over the phone. Then I realized she would just call me stupid and hang up. Typical sister stuff. :)

Anyways, I've been crying/depressed a lot. I upset my mother yesterday by throwing a hissy fit over my brother being an ass. Even though he hasn't been one in a few days. Then she ditched me this morning for class because she didn't want me bawling in front of all her students. Ouch.

I'm thinking about going to AOF camp for a few days. September 4-7th. Right before school starts, and on my birthday. But I need to get on my mother's good side before I ask her... *runs to go vaccuum*

My New Project

So I made a little online writing journal... it's for my not-so-serious but fun writing! Just to exercise my muse! Please check it out and let me know what you think!:D

Growing Apart

Today's is F's grad party... we've known each other since -- quite literally-- we've been in the womb. We've been friends for much too long for anyone to remember, except us. We feature in each other's home videos, and are able to finish each other's sentences.


I'm not going.

I can't be with her anymore. It's too much. We've grown apart drastically. She's going downhill and I don't want to go with her. It's terrible seeing her like this, and I've tried to help her, but she refuses any help. And I'm sick of supporting her like a drunkard. She was never appreciative anyways. It may seem selfish but I'm ready to move on with my life.

A New Inspiration

Just hit me the other night in a dream... it's really whacked-out but I might turn it into a little something... :D Can't wait to get writing.

Wish me luck! I might create a new blog or LJ just to post this story on... ;)

Review of Madapple


It is extremely rare of me to enjoy a book so much that I feel the need to share it with the world in the form of a review. [Click picture for larger view]

Title: Madapple
Author: Christina Meldrum
My rating: 5 stars
------------
"-Please state your name for the record.
-Aslaug. [eye-lah]
-And your last name?
-I don't know.
-You don't know your last name?
-Mother called me Aslaug Datter.
-So your last name is Datter?
-No. I mean, I don't know. Datter means "daughter" in Danish. I'm not sure it's my name."

Aslaug is on trial for murder. She was raised in powerful isolation by her mother until the age of 15, when certain circumstances cast a bad light on her and thrust her from her fenced-off world into ours. Does she control her own fate, or do other people? Or does some divine being guide her without her knowing?

So we follow Aslaug's journey from Datter to Aslaug to suspected murderer. The story is dynamic, and flows from generation to the next. The plot-line is not linear for the first half of the book or so, and it may seem annoying at first but later it is recognized as needed. The metaphors are rich and deep, the plot unwinds as it should, but not without it's surprises. There are some things unanswered, but better left so.

Madapple is slippery, slick, dynamic. It takes the reader into Aslaug's world as she questions relationships, human beings, miracles and divine intervention. Also, as she unravels her world in first person, the book switches between each chapter to third person covering Aslaug's trial. The book wrenches emotion from you, whether you are willing to give it up or not.

What are we as human beings? What defines us? Our physical being or our minds, imaginations? Is there an answer to this? Does every question have an answer, even if we don't know it? Nothing is as it seems on the outside, what is perceived is only a fraction of the truth. Do we see what is the truth, or what we want to see?

Aslaug is not your average girl, but again, what defines average? Find out the answers by reading Madapple!

"Some things stay together because they fit, Aslaug Datter. Not because they're forced."

----------------

Hm... I think this was by far my favorite read of the summer so far. :) I must re-read this soon! :D Plus, the author got her bachelors degree at the college I plan on attending next fall! How much cooler can a book get? XD

私は日本語を話す -- I speak Japanese

It comes from watching too much anime... Of course, it's nothing useful, just random stuff like "Good morning!" and "Are you okay? What happened?" and "I'm in love!"


XD I really want to learn Arabic and Japanese... :) Let's hope I find some classes.

Also, tomorrow is the MSA picnic... ;) y'know... Matrimonial Student Association? XD Maybe I'll find my future hubby there... AHAHAH :D

Top Ten

Hm... getting my haircut in a few hours... :) SUPER EXCITED! :D

Also happening tonight: SYTYCD top ten being decided. Really, I know who I want in my top ten. I can't stand Jason and Caitlin so I seriously hope they're leaving. Other than that, I think I'm in love with the rest. :) They make some serious magic when they dance.

Haha... so far this season I've only fallen in love with a handful of outfits and NO songs...! Isn't that strange? Lumen is getting more into it than I am... XD I need to stop watching reality television with him...

I think I might write a few book reviews later in the week, and if I do I'll probably post them here. So stay tuned?

Okay... I'm going to get a little shameless here and show you my favorite pairing ever! Sakura/Yue! Aren't they amazing together? :D :D :D *hehehe!*
Yes, he does have wings... and yes, that DOES make him sexier. :)

Busy Week

Top things on my list of things to do this week:

Get my hair cut [WOOHOO! :D]
Get ready for my sister's in-laws coming over
Do my laundry
Alyssa's grad party on Saturday
Pool party on Sunday

Sheesh... I have no idea how I'm going to fit this all in my schedule... 0_o

Ah well, might as well just go with the flow.

Here's a picture of Yukito offering Sakura and her brother Touya some cookies... :D Haha, his huge appetite sometimes boils over... :)

Korewa Portal


Oh, wow, I never though I'd say this but I'm addicted to a video game!

Good god! Seriously, you MUST play this game... it's called "Portal" and it's SO INTENSE! And it's not retarded blood/gore [there is some blood] but it's puzzles and momentum and GAH I can't even begin to tell you how cool it is. And it's SO creepy too! [In the good kind of way ;)] It keeps you on the edge of the seat and it actually requires intelligence/thinking.

Amazing game... *sigh*

Here's a picture of my "companion cube" and the "cake" [which is a LIE btw]

Koi apna...

Ek sapna tha jo sapna na rahaa...
Koi apna tha jo apna na rahaa...

"There was a dream that is now no more..."
"There was a familiar who is now n
o longer [familiar]..."

Click for the song

Such a sad song stuck in my head... I've been singing it and dancing to it all day. Hopefully it will serve some purpose to my story-writing. I see Alnair and Ethan/Lumen in it...

Yaparii... the relatives are over... lots of fun but also very draining... :X

They might stay for the week... not sure yet. :) See you all soon!

A Witty Girl

Ahh... cool story I found over on LJ :)

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender.

The Moneylender, who was old and cunning, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal.

So the cunning moneylender suggested that they let providence decide the matter.

He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag.

1) If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven.

2) If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven.

3) But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into Jail.

They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent over to pick up two pebbles. As he picked them up, the sharp-eyed girl noticed that he had picked up two black pebbles and put them into the money bag.

The Moneylender, then asked the girl to pick a pebble from the money bag.

Now, imagine that you were standing in the field. What would you have done if you were the girl? If you had to advise her, what would you have told her?

Careful analysis would produce three possibilities:

1. The girl should refuse to take a pebble.

2. The girl should show that there were two black pebbles in the money bag and expose the moneylender as a cheat.

3. The girl should pick a black pebble and sacrifice herself in order to save her father from his debt and imprisonment.

Take a moment to ponder over the story. The above story is used with the hope that it will make us appreciate the difference between lateral and logical thinking.

The girl's dilemma cannot be solved with traditional logical thinking. Think of the consequences if she chooses. What would you recommend to the girl to do?

Well, here is what she did ...

The girl put her hand into the money bag and drew out a pebble. Without Looking at it, she fumbled and let it fall onto the pebble strewn path, where it immediately became lost among all the other pebbles.

"Oh, how clumsy of me," she said. "But never mind, if you look into the money bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble I picked."

Since the remaining pebble is black, it must be assumed that she had picked the white one. And since the moneylender dared not admit his dishonesty, the girl changed what seemed an impossible situation into an extremely advantageous one.

Moral of the Story: Most complex problems do have a solution. It is only that we don't Attempt to think.

Vision of Death

I can see my death. I can tell it's awaiting me, just around the corner. It's old, greying and doesn't wish to wait any longer. It's now or never. I can beat it, I have the ability to become immortal. But with every ticking second I can feel my life slipping from me, and something internal immobilizes me. I am killing myself, unwillingly.

I have a fifty fifty chance, take a leap, make it or die trying. I can't hold back now. This is my moment, this is my time. Why can't I grasp it? I am paralyzed and can't turn around to see what it is that captivates and holds me back. I want this encounter, but I need time to prepare as well.

I glance around me as the few people I care about bend, with worry, then straighten with perseverance. I see others make the leap without even blinking an eye. I know if I don't hurry, I'll be the last one left, and failure will make its home within me.

Now would be the time to break down. But I feel nothing, no tears coming. The waterworks are no more. I can't cry myself out of this pressure. There is no relief here, only work. I need to dance my way onto death's stage and stun him just long enough for me to escape. I can do this. I know I can. I think I can. I hope I can. I pray I can.

I can see death, awaiting me just around the corner. His name is... physics and calculus finals!!

----

Gah! I will be missing for the next two weeks, pray I meet you alive on the other side! School is almost over! And then writing spreeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :D

Mythir

Do you know an Indian kid named Mythir? Mythir Banisdharthi?


If you say his name really fast it ends up being "My turban is dirty"

XD

I got a momentary kick out of that; I still can't believe I didn't get it for a whole day! I swear, the boys at my school are too weird... 0_o

Phobia: Irrational Fear

I think I harbor irrational fears about my writing. I'm always so terrified that I won't be able to pull it off, or that it's not unique enough. I get an idea and I get so excited! Then I think about it for a while and think 'Hey, I'm not entirely sure that's my idea... maybe it's just another archetype or something I picked up subconsciously from someone else's writing. I almost always have this fear that my writing is not unique. And how am I supposed to get published if I can't write my own way?

Sure, you say, there's plenty of writers out there who get published for crap, but really, I'd rather not be published if I'm that bad.

I also can never tell anyone that I'm writing a novel. It's terrifying to say. I don't have enough pride in my work yet. I don't know how to fix that, or if it ever will.

Right now I'm just going to focus on finishing my trilogy. I think once that's done and I begin editing, I can finally say to myself that I made something with my own bare hands [mind, really] and that it deserves some sort of attention. Maybe I'll get some friends to read it... I know Lisa will. And then some beta's I guess...

I feel sorry for my own beta's. For having to read crap.

Lunch with the best friend.

Today at around four, I went out to eat with my best friend, MZ.


It was pretty amazing. We had some pretty good moments together. She picked me up at four and we got to CPK in less than five minutes. We went in and an Asian guy served us. :D [I have a thing for Asians ;)] I got [surprise] Asian noodles with some fish. I had the fish packed for my mom because I hate fish, but I know she loves it. It took them well over half an hour to get us our food. Which was strange, because they're usually not that slow. While we were waiting, MZ showed me a really cool math problem on a napkin. It was outrageously cool. It actually used one of the identities I need to memorize over the weekend. :P We are such dorks. We left the napkin there for whichever worker who finds it to look at it and say, "What geeks."

We revel in our dorkiness. :)

While we were eating she englightened me about some of the politics revolving her current situation. It was actually not bad. In a way I sort of envy her. She gets to deal with the easy stuff right now. I've already moved on to the big fish. It's not easy. Now everyone looks to me for answers. I don't know if I have the right ones. I just tell them to do istikhara and follow their hearts. I hope that's enough. We talked about school and Ann Arbor. And the MSA at Dearborn. She said the MSA was a scam, and it really was just a "Matrimonial Student Association"

I'm still laughing about that. :D

After, we went out for coffee at Starbucks. You need to understand, I hate, hate, hate Starbucks for reasons that go beyond their taste. She insisted, she had a gift card from there that she wanted to get rid of. I got a double chocolate chip fruppachino, even though it was raining and cold.

We sat inside for about 30 seconds. It was crowded and wierd. We went and sat in her car, it was raining heavily by this time. We sat there for about and hour and just talked, about everything. About fantasies, and wants, needs and fortunes. Fate and the future. We were getting really deep. As she pulled out of the parking lot, I yelled, "BROWN GUY!" and she screamed, and said, "WHERE?!"

:P We laughed about that for a good ten minutes. I love being brown. I think we're the funnest people to laugh at. :)

I talked with her mom about the decorations, she said she'd ask her husband and get back to me. Now I await the final decision. I feel like everything is going to get spliced. Who am I kidding? It already has.

Cygni

Oh Cygni...

Just in case you're wondering, I'm currently writing a trilogy... and the third book revolves around a girl named Cygni.

But right now she won't shut up in my mind! And it's completely annoying me! It's frustrating because I do everything in order. First I eat my veggies, then I eat the good stuff. I do the homework for my first hour class first, then second hour, then third... etc. First I put my car in reverse, then I take my foot off the brake!

I want to write about Alnair! [the girl who the first book revolves around] and Cygni has just completely pushed her out of my mind. How do I deal with this?

I think I'll cave and just write... about TomRad ;)
