I've not updated in a while. Lots of things have happened (or maybe not lots, but big things?)

My trip to St. Catharines went amazingly well. I didn't even get antisocial, which is shocking. I can still almost not believe I met my friend Devin finally. Even though we were meeting for the first time, for some reason I felt like I'd known him for years (ok, well I have, but it felt like I'd been around him for years). I also met my new friend Mandy and we went to the best Haunted House I've ever been through in my life. It was so scary I almost don't want to go back through.

I got my spot in the Writers' Workshop with Kenneth Oppel. I mean, I didn't doubt I would, since I called minutes after registration opened. But things are full now, it seems. I am nervous about going.
I don't know the range of people who are going to be at this thing. I'm hoping there will be some people around my age. Furthermore, as he is a Beloved Childhood Author, I am afraid I will fail him or freak him out. The range of subject matter allowed will have to be gauged while I am there, I suppose.
I am also very nervous because I'm sure we will have to read our writing aloud. I am not eloquent aloud, that is precisely why I write. In school, I wrote amazing speeches, but I was not confident to read the words I had on the page. I was always afraid what people would think. So I glossed over. I'm afraid that will happen again, but also just as afraid that it won't.

All the snow had melted, and then I woke up this morning to a foot of snow on the ground. And it didn't stop pelting all day. I went to the library with Cheryl and we tried to get bubble tea, but the shop was closed even though it shouldn't have been. That means there was no bubble tea this week ):

I really need to clean my room, but...I am lazy. I might do it tomorrow, but I might not.
I picked up two video games last week. Zelda:Phantom Hourglass (which I finally caved and got, because I found a copy under 30$), and Rule Of Rose which I needed to buy, just because I was sure I'd never see it for sale again. I like it so far (my little sister forbids me to play it when she's not around). But I am always worried something really weird will come up when my dad is watching me play. I know it was banned because of something to do with lesbianism? But I don't know under what specific circumstances it happens.

I want to post more, but it is funny because nobody reads this. I have never been good at making friends u_u

Yes, for some reason I had myself convinced I did something today, when really, nothing of the sort happened! Sure, I did laundry, but that can hardly count as doing something. And I did remove all the dishes from my room, but given the amount of other stuff in here, it hardly makes a dent.

I've been playing the game Lux Pain for the DS. After I had bought it I looked at reviews that gave it a bad rating. But I'm really enjoying it, actually. It also probably helps that the character designs are very swoon-worthy, but the subject matter is right up my alley.
There is a character who I really hope becomes friends with the character I play. It's kind of silly how emotionally invested I am in their interactions.

It snowed today, which pretty much makes me the happiest person ever. None of it stuck, but its getting to be about that time!

I was an idiot, and I drank a cup of coffee. I am all jittery now. I feel like I am nervous when I am actually not. I won't be able to sleep, which is not good since I have to deal with graduation tomorrow.

Supernatural comes on tonight and I am SO EXCITED. But also so heartbroken. Because, well you know. I feel bad for Dean.

I am reading the Bible. Quite understandably, it is going slowly. I think that it is amusing that as I read I realize "So THIS is what that TV show referenced!". I think usually it is supposed to be the other way around. There have been some really good parts so far, and also some boring parts. I constantly worry that my version of the bible is not the coolest one. But I do like the footnotes; they open up a lot of different interpretations. I am not finished Genesis yet. I'm looking forward to the parts with Jesus (my heart aches for him). I seem to have more empathy towards characters in books than actual people.

Everyone who knows me is not surprised by this.
