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.

I think I'm crazy. Insane, inane, incomprehensible -- and a whole other bunch of "in-" words.
But this year seems right to do this for the first time. Despite college, midterms, term papers, going home for Thanksgiving and whatever, my heart seemed to want to go along with it. Basically telling my logic (and common sense) to fuck off. :P
Plot-wise, I'm just diving into it. I have no clue what's going to come out of it. The genre isn't even decided -- I want to go into this full-throttle, totally blind and unsuspecting. It'll be cool to see what comes out of no planning, outlines or prior thought. However, I can see this becoming a GazettE-centric REALLY quick. So, if that does happen, I'll dedicate December to editing it and then I'll post it here. If I can make the 30-day deadline of doom :D
Anyone else planning on doing NaNoWriMo this year?
Oh, and I'm determined to keep writing/posting chapters of Lion along with this. It's going to be awesome in a death-defying way :D

just some ramblings
Oct. 16th, 2010 07:19 pmSo. Currently obsessed with Tumblr right now. I was bored today and made a new one: http://tessaness.tumblr.com/
[ I always follow back ;) ]
And now for a lovely meme:
I'm also working diligently on the second chapter of Lion. Whilst filling out random surveys, creating new tumblrs, watching Bo Burnham and other inane things that come along with being bored at college for the day, haha!
...I feel like doing a 30-day meme again. :D
/end ramble

Sep. 2nd, 2010 04:15 pmAs 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
welcome to college, here's a skunk
Aug. 29th, 2010 02:18 am
So! All moved-in and really just enjoying being at college. It's everything and more that I expected -- people are so friendly, the landscape is to die for and the events are just awesome. It's only been two full days, but already, I have gained some more lessons that I'd like to impart to you.
Lesson #6: That item you forgot? Yeah, that was your TV remote.
Lesson #7: "Oh, what a nice cat -- NO WAIT IT'S A SKUNK." ***
Lesson #8: The Mentalist/Hypnotist will make you and the whole audience collectively think of Orange Kangaroos that are from Denmark. With just his mind. Yeah. I said it.
Lesson #9: Don't use the fourth sink from the right in the bathroom. It will spray. On you. On your pants. And you will have to walk down the long hall o' shame back to your dorm to change.
Lesson #10: Yeah, when you see your name listed as the title of the free CD that the awesome band you just saw was giving out, you will feel like a rock star.
*** Me and my roommate were outside our residence hall around midnight and we were about to go in when, lo and behold, a friendly creature of the night waddled on up to us.
Okay and the band I'm talking about is Kid Jerusalem. HIGHLY recommended. The CD's title is "Tessa" by the way :D
Anyways, I'm off to bed with my comfy green/blue sheets. I'll catch up with the Jrock meme tomorrow, most likely. Thanks for the warm wishes everyone! So glad I'm here <3
oh, hi college
Aug. 24th, 2010 04:38 pm
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!!
Life is for Friends <3
Jul. 15th, 2010 04:03 pmOh dear -- I've been tagged ! =D
1) If you're on my friends list, I want to know 35 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine. :D
2) Comment here with your answers and/or repost the questionnaire on your own journal.
( ici, s'il vous plait )

Jun. 27th, 2010 12:24 amHello all! Nothing much to report, just felt like updating -- I'm still writing drabbles, snippets and fleshing out the outline of my newest project (damn you procrastination), so I'll probably get a prologue of some sort up here in about two weeks or so. Depending how slow I drag my feet. I'll definitely have some sort of writing posted in the next few days though, so woohoo!
Oh, and I caved. Tumblr just seemed so shiny and new that I had to try it out: colberry.tumblr.com/
It's a little empty, but I'll be filling it up with inane slices-o-life and general randomness so it'll provide some entertainment value for those who are interested. Plus, I already posted a snippet of a current oneshot I'm fiddling around with, so I guess it also serves as a draftboard of sorts, haha! So, if any of you have a Tumblr account too, let me know! =)
Well, that's all I've got to say at 12:23 AM..
Sleep sounds pretty heavenly right about now..
