You know what's funny? Visiting your old fanfiction.net account and reading your old fan fiction. I read one story and anticipated a rush of embarrassment but I was surprised at how 'OK' I was. I didn't care if I was a good writer, I just did it. Fan fiction then, was my escape. I created loads of worlds that stretched my knowledge of a particular fandom to the limit so I can justify everything I brought about. It was fantastic! I could make my favorite characters dance in my head and, no matter how silly or out of character it was, I enjoyed myself immensely.
Now, whenever I write (fan fiction or some other written form) I have this little monster in my head that pressures me to be good at it. I'm not bad, I'm just all over the place.
Another surprise greeted me. A rather recent review for that one fic. It was dated 2006-07-14 even though it was last updated on 05-22-02. AMAZING.
I wanna get back into writing fics!

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS IS MADE OF WIN
I finally finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. I know it's a relatively thin book and it's not hard to read (unlike The Hobbit or Death Kit by Susan Sontag) but I never really got into it. I always thought it was sweet and smart to write as an autistic boy and the story was just as amusing but, well, I never got into it. Until yesterday! I recommend this read. Everything is sweet and smart, red cars and A-math level calculations all in all. :)
I'm now re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Bloood Prince by JK Rowling as a 'refresher' course for the 7th book.
By the way, they've released the new covers and they're lovely. I. CAN'T. WAIT.
No. This will not be an emo post. :D I have a very decieving subject/title.
Yesterday/Last night was probably one of the best nights I've had in a long long long while (well not really, but it's definately up there!). I can't say we jammed at Mayrics, but we enjoyed loud loud loud music! SO MUCH FUN.
Argel killed us. He was absolutely great!! Francis was fantastic! I'll be posting their original compos when I get the lyrics.
Funny thing last night, I saw good friend Joel (circa-Jem // wannabe guitarist Creole). He was part of Francis' band Ragdoll Rodeo then it all came back. One time, when Jem, Joel and I went to the studio to practice my "mad guitar skillz" (sadly limited to oversung and overplayed Eraserheads songs) he mentioned his band throughout the session.

Psh, I think I even saw Francis on our way out because they were on their way in to practice.
Last night in Mayrics, under the red lights and egg cartons, intoxicated by stale beer and cigarette smoke, God just reminded me how small the world was. It's tiny!
Went home with Petter and Francis in their friend Joel's car. They were on their way to Mr. Kabab and my house is very near Kabab. I almost wanted to come along if it wasn't for that "ok lang" tapsilog I had for dinner and the fact that I seemed to be invading a private friend meet-up.
Uh-huh. My One-to-one didn't push through yesterday so we rescheduled it for 2pm today. =)

I have this award/event thing at Victory Church later. It's a recognition award/event thing for the Outreach Group leaders. Why was I invited, you ask? Well, these leaders have an invite that entitles them to take 2 of thier potential leaders to the said event.
So I have Outreach Group leader potential. Ohwow. I'm not even being sarcastic about this, I'm actualy quite honored! Ohwow. I'm good-girl Creole! My friends will have a riot. lol.

Since this is blogger/blogspot/blog (and not LJ!) I will post yet another video.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix trailer
I don't understand the hate towards Helena Bonham-Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange. I mean, sure, she's not skinny and tall and Black-esque but she can easily pull of the chararcter. It's part of her charm. She looks mad wicked in the trailer, and hot too.
I'm not even going to talk about the kiss. Because if Harry could kiss like that even though this is his first kiss, and by golly he's going to be a natural Hogwarts-heartbreaker (if he surivives of course). I bet he's been practicing.
With his hand?
With Ron?
With Draco??
I wonder what wizard porn is like. (Of course this is a rhetorical question, it obviously moves. Playboy and Hustler would be a riot!)

Last note. I changed the comment settings so that non-blogger users can reply to my comments. Miz Helga said so. SUPP?
I like to write stuff down if I have the energy or time. I don't write structured stuff, I just write them down. If you know me, you can pretty much hear me speak the same way I write. I have been waging war against grammar since I was a wee lass and I have always wanted to my stuff to look "neat and artsy" without trying too hard.
