Writiing at Last!!!


So apparently i write best when i think about my horrible financial state. Which is basically being a normal college student who worries about how to pay for school.

I think when i remember that there are other people out there who have issues paying for school, i don't get to freaked out. But it still sucks real bad.

Whatever the cause, maybe my stressed behavior, has led to a much needed relief from my writers block, and i am finally writing at last. It's been an exciting day, knowing what i am going to write, thinking about the scenes later on that i want to put into my work.


I t's amazing, a little maniac and rushed because i have all these ideas, good, bad, useable, filler, that is literally being thrown at me. I went out and bought the Sigur Ros album Takk... to help me out with the process, and the songs shall guide me as i write. It's great. At the moment my mind is on cloud nine, it feels clear to write because it is focused, which was albeit brought on by stress but whatever works.

I think the script and concept is ...pretty mature for a novice. I'm not trying to make one of those artsy fartsy movies. I'm just trying to write something that shows what more could come from it. I feel like i needed my first attempt at this thing that could show range and style. i think they are the two most important things. Let me just finish the thing first, and then worry about the rest.

I am going to a wedding on Saturday. My mom's cousin, who would be my...i was never good at those things, is getting married. I think his name is Tony. Or something like that. All i know is that he use to make pizza and now he doesn't. I of course am being dragged to it. I have never been to a wedding before. I don't really know what to expect. My mom is more worried about what i am going to wear rather than what she is buying for the husband and wife to be.

No one has faith that i can wear a dress and not look totally uncomfortable in it. Trust me it's hard, but sometimes i want to look girly and frily. Okay not frily, but girly wouldn't be bad sometime. So i have my outfit picked out and i think i looked pretty awesome in it. But no one should fault me if i make the uncomfortable face look. I have pictures when i was younger where it literally seems i am scratchingg my dress off.


Time to go back and write. I would talk about Movie Day with the Old People, but there was no movie day. After arriving to a small room with some chairs and an old tv, i entertained a room of...well no one. I was in there for like 30 minutes while dozens of old people rolled by me. I smiled, sat, bit my nails, and then got bored, packed up and left.

Apparently they don't really watch movies on saturday. They would rather talk with friends or look out windows. I can't really blame them, i figure at that age i'd rather hang out with my friends also and talk about the good old days. They are use to routines and i am not offended that on a lazy saturday afternoon they like to stick with them.

I have a lot more writing to do and should get back to that. I ordered Happy Accidents Tuesday and was happy to see it in the mailbox yesterday. My own copy to watch over and over again.


Yeah.

Is that the dress you're wearing? It's cute but...not really girly.
