Life so far...

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 12:16 PM
  • Mood: Happy
  • Listening to: Mom on the phone, she's talking to dad
  • Reading: Assignments
  • Watching: Maybe Gossip Girl if it's on today
  • Drinking: Coffee with... coffee
...Is more than anyone can take.

Okey dokes people! A run-through of what I've been up to. Beware: it's gonna be hectic!

I shall leave out the details of my love life (it's complicated, and always changing, and there is no way you would want to hear all that). But let's just say that one of them ate up about half of my week, if not more. I practically lived in one of the booths in the common room (my group now has ownership of it, because two of us spent so much time in there...). But I have moved on to er... different things.

Moving on. Drama performance is next Wednesday, tech rehearsal on Tuesday, and in between we have so much to do it's not funny. We're supervising and possibly helping with set building tomorrow. I'm so stressed I was cranky the whole day, I complained to people outside the drama circle and I got into a rage at one stage (ok, being half an hour latter for a one-on-one rehearsal is not cool.). The only person who managed to get me happy was ~Malilk. Thanks Darling :hug:

Assignments and college work is killing me. I actually got to a stage where I WANT to go to a lecture, but have to skip it because I have drama to sort out.

My kitten, Dante, managed to eat up one of the pages of my Microeconomics assignment. How the hell is he so good at biting at things and chewing away, I'll never know. He's my alarm clock these days too. You can't turn off a cat ;)
I shall post pictures of him soon.


By the way, about pictures... I'm more than half way done with sorting out my portfolio.

AND, I have a bid idea for a shoot, and if the deadline for the Kildare photo-competition hasn't closed yet by the time I carry it out, I'll submit it for that, because I came up with the idea for the said competition.

I neglected my "Cooking with Vampire Diaries" blog. I didn't post last week's episode and the next one is coming out soon. (It still gets more traffic than my dA page though, not surprising I guess considering how I neglected this place. SORRY GUYS!!! And to whoever is reading this: I love you for sticking with me for so long!)


NANOWRIMO FACTS:

Crisis: One. When I realised I can't actually write the novel I wanted to in one moth and that some Lit.Fiction really depresses me sometimes.

Plots: Two. The first one which I couldn't write under these conditions but to which I will get back eventually.
And another one which has the same underlying ideas and principles as the first one, but the characters in this one are younger, just as messed up and are much more fun to play around with. [yes, I will ruin, rebuild and maybe ruin again, a lot of lives before the 30th of November.]

Disadvantages: Two. Insanely hectic schedule [I get questioned WHY I do this a lot, and how the hell I CAN do this, even more often.], and as ~Malilk pointed out, the fact that everyone else probably started way before the 1st of November.

Wordcount: over 7,500.

Wordcount aim: 20,000 before the end of weekend.


CAN I DO IT? Eh.... Yes???

This is not a Halloween entry

  • Mood: Cheerful
  • Listening to: Jurga
  • Watching: Vampire Diaries
  • Eating: Dinner
Since everyone is posting Halloween entries, I won't.

Just to keep the individualistic twist on things. Starting the novel on Sunday, and going to a party tomorrow. Shall abuse my rights as an 18 year old, and put on a cool (and sexy) outfit and will have lots of fun to make up for lost time. :)

And what have you been up to recently?

If there was a world photographer society they...

...would take away my camera and grant me life sentence in some hell hole of a jail because I'm a fucking idiot.
I just WAITED through THE best picture of this autumn. You know the one that has a different angle, kick-ass composition and an interesting focus? And to top it all off, pretty much the best exposure, iso and other settings I've ever pulled off? So basically the kind of picture I've never taken before. It would also would have captured how much I improved (or in this case, didn't since the pic doesn't actually exist because like a dumb-ass lowlife amature that i am, i didn't press the fucking button...) and how my style changed in a year, what i am aiming for now...

The damn truck not only slowed down for me just in the right place, it stoped in the perfect place, so i didn't have to move around, all i had to do was press the fucking button...!!! and i didn't i wanted to get a clean pic, without any civilised crap in it. and then when the car was pretty much gone, the image that i've seen through the camera actually reached my brain, i've been kicking myself ever since. because i fucking earned it.

the only damn reason why i come out with this half-decent stuff sometimes is because i've been blessed with an amazing camera. my nikon d60 actually sets the level of lowness i can achieve. shit. my space ';photographers/posers' would probably do better than me if they had a camera like that.

yeah, i deserve to be shot or something...

and yeah, don't stop me from banging my head off the damn table. i can only increase my iq that way, i mean i can't go any fucking lower...

New Life, New Book

  • Reading: economics by krugman
  • Watching: just finished dreamgirls
  • Playing: grand theft auto
Some may have heard already, I'm doing NaNoWriMo this year, missed it last year so I just jumped at the idea this year. The novel is going to be called Rain Drops in Crimson and it's no magical spoof. I graduated to something more serious. It's a grand idea and I really really hope I'll be able to do it justice.

Meanwhile, before the starting whistle goes I'm sorting out background research and hopefully a cover. However I am realistic and I realise I'd make a mess out of the cover so I was wondering if you know who could help me here or maybe you're up to doing it yourself?

Only way I can pay is by art, hope that'll be enough.

Also, [link] graduated from being a little project to my main blog, I'm lacking time-wise to come here more often so most, probably all bloging I do, goes on it. Check it out if you're interested in what I've been up to recently. Or rather a little bit of it all.


I missed you darlings,
Ruta.

So tell me what's happening with you.
:heart:

GRATITUDE

"As an artist, who and what are you grateful for? Think about it for a moment. Be specific."
-John Paul Thornton

I am grateful to the people who manage to drag me out of the dark, without knowing it.

I am grateful to my parents who were persistent enough to teach me to write decent stories when I was seven.

I am grateful to my dad for teaching me to be curious about the world; my mom, for giving me the passion to live my life.

I am grateful to Dovile, because together we learned how to really be crazy and mischievous.

To Judith, who kept me on track when I was about to go off the rails.
To Inga, who watched me cry and kept a straight face.

To my Grandmother, who showed me what strength really means.

To Lina, who proved you can be friends with your family.



I am grateful to all the people I've recently met, and the ones I didn't leave behind, for making me happy.


In a way, I'm grateful to Louise, for saying: "What the hell are you doing studying finance, you have a talent!"
Because I forgot.




What are You grateful for in Life?
