I seem to be in the habit of writing to other people when I write. I'm never just writing for myself. What does that say about me? Hopefully that doesn't make me subconsciously restrict my writing... My college counselors tell me to write my essays as though they are journals, but what they don't know is that I've never kept a proper journal or diary. Maybe it's because I read so much that I can't write to myself. I mean, the authors don't write to themselves when they write.
John got #5 on the NYT Bestseller list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY JOHN! (I've made a video to this effect which I will hopefully remember to post tomorrow. I really want John to know who I am when I meet him on the 30th. That would definitely be nice. It would also make it less creepy when I ask to interview him. Now, that in itself may not be creepy, but I have a lot of favours to ask of him on that day, and I only get about 1 minute to accomplish it all. It is going to be one crazy day. I wonder if Toddly00 will be there. If he's going to any at all, it'll be the one in L.A.
I'm going to reapply for a job at B&N. I walk up to the store today to get a magazine and I say to my mom that I wish I could get a job working just weekends. While I'm off sticking Nerdfighter notes in John's books (Caitlin, like 3 or 4 of ours are still there. Sadness.), mom asks about jobs. Miraculously, they are hiring specifically for weekends! I'll lose my Saturdays and Sundays, and possibly my Friday afternoons, but I'll have moneys. Plus, it's spending hours with books. I hope I'm right in saying that that's enough to keep my happy working there. I'm also going to check the box on the application to say I want to work in the Stardollar. This is something that I've secretly always wanted to do, and to be able to do it while INSIDE B&N... dream come true.
I talked to Alec online a little while ago. He seems to be doing well. It seems like he hasn't done anything that might cause me to repeat the Great Freakout of last year. I think that If he had been behaving in a way that he knows would cause me to go into emergency mode like last year, he would have been less willing to carry on the conversation. At first he contacted me about sending him an mp3 of a song we played last year (Any Way You Want It) but then he asked me how things were going in drumline and casual stuff like that. I think he'll be ok. :)
This is the last thing, I swear:
I bought a new nail polish today. Not just any old color, no. I bought nail polish that is "so red it's almost black", like Margo's in Paper Towns! I'm going to get some blue spray paint, spray my finger, and somehow smudge it on the bottle. Don't think I'm kidding.
Ok, I'm done for today. I think I might make this a daily thing, talking about important stuff that happens in my life. However, if it starts to feel like homework, I'm not going to force myself to do it. Also, I've decided I'm going to post my typed writing assignments here. It'd be noce to get some feedback on my writing and if it improves throughout the year and such. Done for realz, now that it's 11:11 (I wish mumblemumblemumble). Good night all.
*edit*
I'm proud of how ridiculously long this is. If you just can't read it all, go to the attention span store and get an upgrade.
