a wish upon you

So..  I've been really terrible at updating.  The next chapter of Lion literally sits in my documents, halfway finished, but this irritating little pest called "college" keeps getting in the way.  Something called "term papers" too.  They are quite rude and don't let you write inane fiction.  I swear I'm still writing it though and there will probably be an update in about 2 weeks.  Just wanted to give everyone a heads up that I didn't roll over and die somewhere :D

I did fall in love with a new show though.  And I'm dedicating a new meme to it (she has time to do a meme, but not enough to get that damn chapter finished??)

30 Days of Skins

Day 01:  Your favorite Generation


First Generation.

Nothing can beat the original cast.  It focused on friendship and 'being there', having a shitload of fun.  It was so refreshing and incredibly authentic.  I miss them so much!


If you haven't seen this series, dear lord, watch it!  
It'll change your life; make you laugh, sob, smile, everything.

As you can see from the title, college continues to inspire.  I'll be seeing that tonight.  No, really, it's an actual "academic event" and not just a beautiful statement, haha. 

Lesson #11:  You will discover that you can in fact fit 13 people into a dorm room -- with room for more if you count lap-space

Lesson #12:  Do not underestimate the rumors of a college's chilly temperatures even though it's 145,000 degrees outside now.  You will glance behind yourself in your Sociology class and discover that the room apparently has a fireplace. 

Lesson # 13:  The hills will kill you. 

Lesson #14:  You will now assume that the infamous "Freshman 15" are a lie because your nearest dining hall is NEVER open, resulting in a near-mile walk to the closest food establishment.

Lesson #15:  Bees will come into your dorm and hide on you.  You won't be able to find them.  You will look for hours with your equally bee-phobic roommate.  And you will sleep with your eyes open that night.

Haha, some of the lessons this time around are a little pessimistic/melodramatic, but I'm seriously having fun here.  I don't mean to scare off anyone who will be going to college in the future!  College is awesome, especially when your Understanding Music: Rock teacher breaks out the life-size floor keyboard from Playskool.  :D 

In other news, chapter two of Violet Pulse is coming out today  <3

Oh goodness.  When did this happen?  :O
I only have a day (not counting today) left until I make that seven-hour drive up to college.  It's my first year so it's kind of...  awesome-exciting-scary-wtf-YES-how-the-hell-am-i-going-to-do-this.  I'm ahead of some of my friends though -- I know how to do laundry.  However, I did not know that I needed to get my own laundry detergent...  This lovely gem is only one of the lessons that I have learned so far:

Lesson #1:  Vacuum bags will save your life.  I'm talking about those bags you stuff as much crap as you can into and suck all the air out.  I saved like.. at least 4 tons of space with them.

Lesson #2:  Yeah, that TV is NOT going to fit in your car.  Sorry about that.

Lesson #3:  You will find yourself staring at your personal knick-knacks (those see-speak-hear-no-evil frogs, that seashell, that I <3 NY pin) and you will be at a loss of what to bring.  You will keep staring for an hour.  And you will not accomplish anything for that hour.

Lesson #4:  "How come I only have 2 pairs of jeans??"

Lesson #5:  You know you're going to forget something vital.  And that thought is going to stay with you all throughout packing, all throughout stuffing everything into the car and all throughout the drive there.  And it will only be once you arrive at your dorm, that will you pinpoint just what you're missing.  

Haha, I haven't even left yet and already chaos is happening!  Ah, I love it though. 

Sorry for the ramble, but I found this amusing. 
I'll try and update Violet Pulse sometime next week.  As you can tell, I'm definitely going to be busy!!
