*Sighs* Whew, it has been a while, hasn't it? I've seriously been meaning to write an entry (I even got one started) but never really got around to sitting down and focusing on it. Hopefully what I'm typing now gets posted. Since there's a lot to cover, I guess I'll just divide up the "updates" into three categories: school, life, and writing. (I would work in the writing somewhere, wouldn't I?)
But first I have a quick story. So I started writing this entry a while ago, determined to
Y'know, the little glass slippers?
The evil stepmother and stepsisters?
The charming prince?
If you do, you might enjoy reading a completely revamped version that really isn't Cinderella. It's called "Cinderella Retold" and was an assignment in English last week that I went completely overboard on. But if you know me, I love to write, so I took the opportunity to write over seven pages (typed) when it was supposed to be around one page. (hand-written)
Yeaaaaaah.....
So on
Hi, you guys.
Wow, it's been a while.... There is so much to write about. I'll start with the summer and move from there. When I "returned" this June, I thought being out of school would free up my time and allow me to spend some more time on this awesome website. Yeaaah, problem is, I wasn't done with school. This past summer, I took two online classes (Early American History and Macroeconomics) with the local community college. And then I also worked and went to Iowa with my dad. An
Remember how I've mentioned the epic The Mata-Nui Olympics and how it was being co-written by The White Lady, Israeli Toa, and myself? Well anyhoo, last night my brother finally posted the third chapter. College and all the busyness of real life had prevented him.... till now. If I'm not mistaken, this is one of the first things he's written and posted in a while. I think the last was... *racks brain* Ah. It was a love poem for the COT Poetry Contest in February. I thought he did a great
Yeah, sure it's that time of year when families are putting up Christmas trees, little kids are waiting in line to see Santa at the malls, people are going caroling, and Christmas cheer fills the air.
But before that, there are exams. Y'know, those 100 question long tests to make sure you learned everything you were supposed to learn? Luckily for me, I'm exempting four, leaving me with four. It's not so bad, really. I don't find 'em hard at all. But what makes this time of year more he
Yeah, before you mention how late I am in writing this entry, let me say that I know the game was Thursday night.... In fact I stayed up past midnight to watch the whole thing, knowing I would have to get up around 6:30. (Actually, I stayed up till one; reading Brisinger after the game but I'll talk about that later.)
I'm glad I did though, it was a great game. However it was definitely nerve-wracking in the first quarter/half till the Gators started scoring and stuffing the Oklahoma offen
If you get past all the eses, you'll know the title reads 'Updates'. Well, updates of what? Guess. I mean, honestly, if you know me at all, you know I love to write. So naturally, updates means new chapters in stories. Yayzzzz!!
First off, yesterday, I managed to squeeze posting the ninth chapter of To Be or Not To Be into all the stuff I had going on. (I went and played putt-putt golf with most of my family for most of the day. It was lots of fun, even though we're sooo competitive.
So today, I have a hunch I might be setting a record for BZP. Maybe not, but I've never seen it done before. If you go to the epics forum, you'll find four topics started by Jedi Gali, all in a row. To put it simply, I'm posting a new chapter in two of my epics. Yeaaaah, one epic is left out.
Though both written by me, they're sort of different. Chapter 10 of Toa United is mainly a battle, while chapter 12 of Toa of the New Republic is a heated debate and practically all dialog.
I
As most of you know, the debate that was scheduled for last Saturday night had to be postponed. I did my best to contact all parties involved and reschedule it at a date suitable for everyone. Finally, I set it on Wednesday, the twelfth (tomorrow night) at 8:00 EST.
I hope you all can make it! I'm really looking forward to it.

Luke Skywalker.
Obi Wan Kenobi.
Yoda.
Mace Windu.
Oh yeah. That's what I'm talkin' about.... (Well, not those Jedi in particular.) It's been waaaaay too long since I've posted in a particular epic of mine. But wait, I posted in it last night. It took me like a year. *shrugs*
This particular epic covers the story of six Jedi who travel to the foreign world of Bionicle to guard against possible Sith attacks. The status quo changes drastically when they are shot down by unknow
So I have two epical (like my new word?) updates. Can anyone guess??? *shrugs*
Numero uno (I have to practice my Spanish!): I posted Chapter 13 of To Be or Not To Be!!!! If the end seems a little... stiff, it's probably because I really forced it out of me. It took a ton of effort to get it done. Aaaaand, that's not all. An epilogue is coming! Heheh, it prob'ly seems like this epic is never done.
Numero dos: Remember when I mentioned that epic The Mata Nui Olympics, written by my br
So before, I mentioned that my siblings (Israeli Toa and The White Lady) and I are writing a story about the Olympics on Mata-Nui. It's been a lot of fun 'playing' them and writing the chapters as well.
I just wanted to let you all know that the first chapter is up! My sis wrote it, and did so very well I must say. If you're looking for something lighthearted and fun to read, I think you'll enjoy this story.
And meanwhile, I've been working on some of my own stories. I've got one chapt
You guys will love this story. It's about a girl who has some issues. They say that the first step to fixing an issue is admitting the problem. Well, in this case, this particular girl I know freely admits that she is a procrastinator. But now, it has almost cost her dearly. It almost deprived her of one thing that she immensely enjoys doing. But this story, is a success story.
Know who it is yet??
Fine. It's me. So I find out about the Epics Contest in June. I think of an ide
