Welcome to Gaia! ::

Same of crap on my end Varos, family troubles are abound, no matter how much I help out the family, aka mother and stepfather, should one thing inconvenience ANYONE except me I get an earful and more guilt than I can stomach, which is probably why I'm not feeling so good. There are days when all I want to do is explode on them, but I don't, no matter how pissed off I get. It boggles my mind.

On the plus side, I'll be getting Guitar Hero soon, I bought Call of Duty 4 yesterday and beat it last night with one of my best friends. Its a good game, controls are pretty lubricated but I believe the CoD series is Play Station born and I've found a lot of their FPS's are very wet around the gears.

Last night was really fun, my friend brought Guitar Hero 3 to a party and showed us his freakishly mad skillz. I battled him once, chose the song, wasn't doing too badly, he's been playing it since GH first came out, but then he's like: Hey! Check this out! And he puts the guitar behind his HEAD and finishes the song almost perfectly, I vowed then and there never play him again...

Hey guys! I've got an idea for anyone who's interested.

I'm going to be buying a leather bound journal, writing a few pages of story, and sending it to a friend. I've got a site where I can track its progress, and anyone can sign on to the list and be in line to receive the journal at any time. Each person will add two pages, front and back, or up to four, and then send it to the next person on the list (below them), and then that person will follow suit. The goal is to have a bunch of people write a story, then send it back to me, and I scan it in and show the world what we've come up with.
I'll be including a piece of paper for each person to add their name, and when they received it, and how many pages they added, like so:

Candice Wozniak / Dionysus - Started here - 4 pages

And then pass it along with the journal. When its full, it will be sent back to me, and I'll transcribe it, the list of names, clean it up, and publish it through Lulu.com (with the list of names instead of dedications), and send out a new journal to continue the story.

Anyone interested in participating can sign up here on 1001journals.com, and let me know. My friend Whitney is already on board, and I'm sending it to her first. But I want contributions from all over the continent, and maybe even over sea's.

The rules will be printed out and pasted into the front of the journal, and I'll start off with four pages. But don't limit yourself to people on the list. Lend it to friends before you send it on! Anyone is welcome to contribute.

Lea, do you think I should make a thread proper in the main forum, or keep it to here?

Here's a few of my thoughts behind a conversation my dad and I had today...a little off the wall, but look who it came from.

Today was alright. Not too good, not too bad. I've just got to produce an A paper in German about the German/English differences of each respective version of Cinderella in the next few hours. Other than that, I'll be free.

Well for one it is something to use to procrastinate on my research paper. Number two you read what we said and commented, so we should follow the golden rule. You can really tell I am desprate to do something other than write a paper on the Navigation Acts and Smuggling, you think smuggling would be more exciting but no.

I'm interested, Lea. If you feel up to talking, talk.

Sorry I've been away so long. I had a road trip with my mum, in a car with no air conditioning on a boiling hot day. Guess what else? No CD's, no radio. Our sixteen hour car trip, yes, sixteen long hours, consisted of a few two minute mysteries read from an old book and eye spy. Sad, yet amazingly entertaining when you're that bored. We also broke down and ended up in a very old abandoned public park. There were cobwebs everywhere and none of the taps worked. It was kinda exciting and a bit spooky, but mostly just annoying. We needed water, and the place didn't have any.

Ooooo, this is new. I quite like it.

Well, lets see... I'm not sure how much blood and gore there is--though I did get my finger with a can-opener the other day, that was fun. As for love and loss... not much there either. I'm still with Billy, going on two years now. He's a sweet boy, very much like me in many ways, and very different from me in some. I recently gave him a claddagh ring for his birthday, and would go so far as to say that I love him, I really do.

I started college this year, as you may know. I'm living in a dorm with three other girls. Got my first semester grades back this week--I aced Composition 1 and did miserable in Art History. *shrug* I'm good at what I'm good at, can't change that.

Right now I'm in the middle of making Christmas cookies--sugar cookies now, lace cookies later, fudge tomorrow and figgy pudding on Monday. Yeah. Figgy pudding. How cool is that?

So how has everybody else been? I could just read all the posts, but eh... I don't really want to. sweatdrop
