yes, i know i swore to keep up myth.

and i will, at camp. but an idea that i had a while ago keeps nagging me and one section is really begging me to write it. the story originally features time travel as a big element, and two giant corporations, but the section i want to focus on is the relationship between miss main character and mister next character. he kills her sister, she cant really do anything about it. she finds herself discovering he really is a wonderful person and possibly falls for him. im fuzzy on how she dies, but i have a basic idea on how they are lumped together and why the murder/manslaughter doesnt really matter. oh! maybe i could add that fish characteristic where they are participating in a big experiment! that could account for them being pushed together, but not the death. i need to plan this out.
i fisrt came back to this when i had this sort of daydream, but i was just poking around my subconscious for stories. i came across a pair laying on sodden earth just after a rainstorm, and mist floating on a gentle breeze. theyre fingers are interlocked, and the only light in this tiny wooded area is a sliver of moon, the night after a new moon. it is illuminating her face just enough for him to lean in and whisper, 'i didnt kill her, you know.'
i kinda started writing there, for a moment. and thats kind of how i tied that into the tt story. i dont know how they end up there, or where they go next, or why he had to protect ____ by taking the blame and her hate. just had an idea on how they got there. they are trying to get to someplace, (or are more likely fleeing another place) and are not in much of a hurry. she is still cold to him, but he can sort of sense her conflicting emotions. they take a break, and he notices that her pack (long journey, they had time to pack.) is bigger than his. he insists on switching, or taking some of her things into his bag, but she refuses. he tries to grab her bag but she snatches it away. they are wrestling, and finally collapse, exhausted. a drizzle sweeps through the trees (or it had started to rain, so they took a break under a denser patch of trees. if so, the moon is full but only a sliver reaches them. he notices the pack sizes after they set off, wrestling ensues.) and plasters their hair to their faces. they turn to face each other, and fall asleep. they wake up holding hands, and he announces the news.
so, thats chapter whatever summed up. i like it. i need to do some major plot development, but i have all of tomorrow off. and of course ill write.
i got my letter from my camp counselors today, and i think my jc is the girl i beat at a hp trivia contest when i was 10 and she was 15. thats gonna be weird, if its her. and yet again, i caught camp smell. i think im losing whats left of my mind.

O M toystory!

toy story 3: it made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me really want to hang my new toy story 3 poster above my bed. i sat in a movie theater with erica for almost two hours before the movie started playing, (stupid messed up films.) and waited patiently in the very first row for the movie to start so we could go get better seats on the steps. but, as luck would have it, about 4 families decided to pack up 10 minutes before they told us when they were going to actually play the darn thing. so we got great seats for watching the action. and speaking of action...
warning, will contain spoilers. great jokes, scary villains, and it stayed true to the first two movies. this was an amazing movie, for us that saw toy story 1 in theaters and those who saw it for the first time on blu ray (big kids/adults and little kids). buzz fell for jessie all over again, twice, and was hilarious in spanish. woody and andy made some tough decisions (mainly woody, of course) and the beginning was captivating. i was hooked from the adorable pixar short until the credits. i cried at least three times, (i dont want to see my favorite characters in the world struggling and getting hurt, thank you.) and laughed like a criminal whenever woody wasnt pushing me to tears or the monkey making me avert my eyes. he was pretty terrifying, until he was covered in tape. i crossed my fingers and bit my lip when the toys were faced with a fiery death, and was touched by their love for each other and andy. this was a really great movie, and im glad i got to see it before anyone else, which was pretty exciting. and of course, such a neat and tidy ending cant result in a 4th movie to spoil it like was done to shrek. how could they add anything? thank you pixar, for yet another perfect film.
and, also, the short was just adorable. its not something you can describe, so go ahead and see it for yourself. please do, youll enjoy it.

60th post, and a long weekend.

its been a while since i last posted, so lets start with now. i won a contest to see toy story 3, 3 days early. very exciting. and since that is not the most riveting of news, and i dont want to talk about what happened on saturday, im going back to sunday.
sunday was my birthday! we went to the beach (me, nava, mum, foos, gran, and noel) and it was lots of fun. erica was invited as well, but her cousin had a graduation something that her mom wanted her to go to. but foos noel and i made lots of drip castles and went for a luxurious walk. we also took a nap on the beach, which resulted in a perfect tan for noel (typical), an awkward tan for foos on one section of her arm, and red ears for me. i mean, i could have told you that on saturday. maybe not the wavy red line on fooses bone white skin, but everything else. because that is just the kind of stuff that happens. noel is perfectly tan year round without a tanning both, and so is alex. (fyi, noel is my cousin and alex is her older sister.) but, overall, the beach was fun. then we had delicious ice cream and went home.
i dont have anything else to talk about.
