Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmk. Let's see, here...
First of all, I would really, really love it if someone updated the Eight Great Immortals dictionary. I thought about doing it, but I'm so incredibly tired, all the time...I think someone made a word for it...like 'Lazy' or something...
Secondly, I'm writing a Hunger Games fanfic because of the movie that'll be released soon. And yet, I've gotten no-where and am kinda pissed off. So, I think I might start it again. Something that I'd really love to do is use a bit of the prologue that Nyx Dawn cooked up for a HG ff ages ago. It was brilliant.
Thirdly- I was writing a Private Investigator story, and was really intent on doing something about it...but oh hell, I don't know. I don't seem to be getting anywhere with my writing lately. It'll pan out, I hope.
Fourthly- I said I'd be participating in Nano this year, but...meh, we'll just see how things go...maybe, maybe not.
Fifth-leh: Terry Prachet play was amazing. Death was brilliant. Nanny Ogg and Weatherwax were astoundingly awesome, as usual. And afterwards we wandered the streets of Adelaide after midnight, and it was...beautiful. The Fringe, which is a kind of huge fair thing in Adelaide, had lights shining everywhere, and there were smells of coffee and sleepiness and laughter spilling out of pubs. Bouncers and their suits, the chink of glasses everywhere, the tiny alleyways that we found ourselves in with the stalls set up and the buggy that doubled as a pot for a tree. The posters, OH MY GOODNESS, the posters, everywhere, that depicted the next play or a good pub or something happening next week at the Botanical Gardens. It was all just so wonderful, and it was all my city, my little spot on the earth where the sun shined when it wanted and the clouds knew exactly when to show up. I know I'm rambling, and I think I'll make another blog just for it, but seriously...it was great :')
Now, I have sleep that needs...sleeping, and terrible school tomorrow, and $60 to somehow pay to my mum and dad. I hate being in debt...
Heh, Adelaide sounds awesome, as does the play~
ReplyDeleteAs for writing... ...I think you should give that Private Investigator story a shot. Create a company. Get some shady characters. Get a fedora and a cool trench coat. Go nuts! Have it take place in Adelaide, so you can travel down and... go people watching. It's great fun, people watching. It's where you watch people. And animals. And plants. So really it should be called life watching, but it's always been people watching.
60 bucks? Ouch. You could try bribing them with work. Like...
...mowing the lawn. Whatever you do when you 'mow the lawn'.
Hellboy, dude, you're awesome at writing, and even if your going through some writers block, either just wait for it to end, or barrel right through it like a freight train. That's what I do. I want to see your HG fanfic (and I am so freaking excited for that movie) and your Private Investigator story! Listen to the Mar above me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad the Terry Pratchett play was awesome! It's great that all the characters were done well. Yes, indeed, that is good.
Yes.
Heh, I had a 'What?' moment. I saw Thalia saying 'Listen to the Mar above me', and I had a moment where I couldn't remember what I had said.
ReplyDeleteTHALIAAAAA! I'M NOT GONNA SAY ANYTHING FOR SURE, BUT...
...START GETTING A COSTUME TOGETHER FOR THE HUNGER GAMES PREMIERE. XD
Thankyou, guys *hugs* You're all so awesome :)
ReplyDeleteThal, I think one of my main problems with writing...The thing that really annoys me, is that whenever I get time to write, or I'm completely bored, I play computer games. I don't think everyone realises, but I always seem to be playing them. It's not something I can just take a break from, either. Dammit, I want to play some games...
And whenever I'm stuck with writing, I just stare glumly at the page and if I decide to barrel through it, then I stuff it up xD
For the record, Mar, I had not thought of putting those two ideas together. That's...great, and I'm going to start writing something like that right now. A PI in Adelaide xD Heheheheh...
Kal *hugs* Thankyou, and it was fun :D My sister who took me told me about some other events that I'd probably like, that were coming up, and I wouldn't miss them for the world. Well, I might miss them for you guys :P You're THAT awesome :D
Before the movie comes out, Kal, you should definitely read it :) It's cool. Not funny, like SP, but cool...
Mar - Whaaaatt? Okaaayyy....I'll going as Cinna! xD
ReplyDeleteHellboy - *hugs* I know how it feels. When I have writing time, I just sort of...not do it. Sure, I open up the files and everything, but then I go and look through deviantART or Youtube or something, and then look, it's homework time.
I'm guessing that "stuff it up" means something like "screw it up"? Sorry, I'm tired, I'm 31 floors above the ground, and I'm watching crappy TV. Language is hard to process. But anyway. I would do what Kal suggested - just jot down your ideas, maybe do a couple rough paragraphs or something, and when you feel ready, paste it all together.
Hopefully this writers block goes away soon.
*I'll go
ReplyDeleteTypos. Blaah.
Are we all cowards?
ReplyDeleteI could have done something
About the teenager I was just with.
We got off the same bus
Walked the same street.
Hell, he even wore boots like me.
A car pulls up, ten metres behind him.
Swearing, yelling, comes another man from the car.
A bully. Lout. Thug.
He lays into the teenager
And doesn’t stop.
And I keep on walking.
All the times that I had thought about something like this happening,
All the times that I had thought I would be such a hero
Fall to the ground, next to the teenager with boots.
My legs feel like they are locked; I can’t stop them.
I look back once, only to see them dangerously grappling to throw
Each other onto the deserted road.
Fear. That’s why.
And the worst part
Is that the teenager with boots
Will undoubtedly be walking that road again
And know
I was the guy
Who walked away.
I don’t know what happened to them.
“It’s alright,” my mum says when I reach home. “I’ve seen children slapped in the face,
Publicly,
And couldn’t bring myself to doing anything about it.
No-one in the shop could.”
But it’s not alright.
Is that what we all are, then?
Just cowards?
Oh, Hellboy.
ReplyDelete*hugs him tightly*
I can't find any words that won't sound stupid, that will help you. So I'm going to give you hugs, and just know that I really mean these hugs.
*hugs him again*
Thankyou both *hugs tightly* It was messed up. Another time, perhaps, and I'd go straight for being the hero, despite the costs. I don't want to handle the shame again.
ReplyDeleteI really can't thankyou enough :) Kal, you know just what to say. And Thal, I needed those hugs.
...I know that Lenka's posted the update, I saw it a couple days back. I don't know if I'll comment or not. I know we've been over this before, but does it really matter to her?
Alright, I gtg. I'm sorry for the small comment. Have a good night, Americans *hugs*
*hugs Hellboy more*
ReplyDeleteAny time you need hugs, we're here.
Okee dokee. I am really slow at finding your new blog posts... basically- I get an email when people comment on the blog post (that's how I keep track) but when you post a new one I have no idea and become a failure.
ReplyDeleteNow- *hugs Hellboy* I think everyone has been there at some point in their life- problem is we never quite know exactly what to do. We want to do one thing but then we start overthinking it all. I don't know. *hugs again* Thalia is right- we are here for you.
Now, onto the post:
1- I can't spell words, let alone write a dictionary...
2- YAY MORE WRITING!
3- YAY PRIVATE INVESTIGATORS!
4- Aww :( That's a shame. Oh well- maybe JuNoWriMo?
5- Sounds amazing. You need to make a post on that :D Adelaide sounds so nice... my town is universally agreed on as rubbish. :P I'll move to London... someday.
And also- debt sucks, doesn't it? :/
Hey Hellboy! :D
ReplyDeleteHow've you been? Haven't talk to you for a while! It's been so hectic over here. I had a hard past couple of days. I even sprained my ankle! :P So clumsy. But oh well. Hopefully you haven't hurt yourself.
Spring break is next week. I really want to do some writing then. Charge through maybe ten pages of my book and post some fanfic. I'll have to catch up on my reading too. Man, so much to do. See, this is why I need an army of mice. Just think of it! An army. OF MICE. xD
Hope you're doing OK. *hugs* Leave us a comment soon, yeah?
