2 more days!

Sheesh. Only two days until school starts back up. I can't really decide whether I'm glad to start back again or if I just want to have a little more time. I think it's mostly glad to be going back. I'm excited about some of these classes this semester. And even though I know that I am definitely not going to finish all the books I set out to finish, at least I'll still be ahead of the game.

I really like the new VOID stamp at the Kum & Go. It's cool. I put it on my arm, but then the ink spread out on my skin, and now its blotchy. grr.

I'm not sure whether this blog should include all the boring and mundane details or if it should primarily be semi-interesting stuff, or a mixture of both. I will have to decide this.

I finished my second short story yesterday. It needs some editing and tweeking, but I think it will become a good story. I have a new idea for one, but I only really know the beginning, not the ending at all. Or the middle for that part. I think I have decided I really like the short story type of deal. I don't know if I could ever be committed enough to a story to make it a novel. I would love to, but I'm not sure if it will happen. And plus a lot of my stories end with some one hurting themselves or getting killed. It's a little obvious. One day I should try and write a story where the person doesn't die in the context of the story. But I really like my stories to have a finite ending. I like for people to know exactly how the main character ended, or at least have a really good idea. I think the real issue is that by the end of my stories the characters are broken. And they don't fix themselves up. But I think thats an important thing to write about, how people don't fix themselves and end up in bad shape. It's a common theme. But then the issue is that if one day I end up being known for writing (fingers crossed) then people will expect everything to end badly, thus making my endings obvious. Hm. This was not necessary at all!

To reiterate my main point, I cannot believe winter break is almost over!
