I wrote sooooo much yesterday!!! Like 3 poems. A short one and 2 long ones. Makes me happy. I've had such a creative block lately. I guess I just needed to stop stressing out and get rid of the mental blocks I've been putting up lately in order to keep myself relatively sane.

They're back up, but that's cuz I need to stay sane. It took a lot of ranting and alcohol to get me in a good place to write. Heh.

Also, I just remembered that today is Sunday. Ooops. I had wanted to go to slashers brunch. Oh well.

So I have a poem I want to workshop/edit/make better. Anyone interested in helping? Warning though, it's dark.

Anyways, here's something I wrote yesterday that is not depressing (for once). Unedited and raw (and slightly terrible :P)

( poem under here )

I just found out that I can edit my comments on Livejournal! No, I'm not a paying customer :P

I want to find out if it's actually true and if there's evidence that the Mongols were kidnapped and enslaved (but Mongol was NOT occupied, although it's kinda hard to occupy a country where the people are nomadic).

Obviously the first step is the school library and googling, but I'm not quite sure that I'll actually find what I need.

*sigh* Why can't people just accept that people who believe that they are superior are always repeating the actions of those who held the same beliefs?

Despite some crap that went down today (i.e. prof marking things based on how much work he thinks someone did instead of what was handed in), I'm pretty happy today.

Lord grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

I think this is what's going on in the back of my head today. Shit went down that I couldn't control, but the things that I could control went relatively well, which is nice.

Guess it's back to me letting the universe show me where I'm supposed to go, but also steer my life in the direction that I want to go and, if the stars line, then it will be amazing.

I have to say, the concert was lots of fun with lots of amazing music/singers. And it was really nice to forget about all the stress/crap I have going on.

I took around 400 photos, and then processed like 30 lol. Sometimes I think I take photos cuz I can and there's no point besides that. There were also a bunch of out of focus photos, which annoyed me, but manual focussing is hard! I'm totally getting better at manual focussing though, I think.

I dunno if I've ever mentioned it before, but I cannot pull all nighters. I eventually get to a point of braindeadness and then I have to sleep.

That being said, it's 20 til 4am and I'm still up and have been writing on and off since 1am or something. Wrote 2K+ words, which is normal for me at a non-write-in. I'm still 10K behind, but it's a much smaller 10K than last week. Hurrah!

I would like to write 5K in a day for 3 days in the next 10 days, but I dunno if it's possible with all this school work that I have. Hopefully it is.

Meanwhile, I'm constantly amazed but the metamorphosis the concept of my story is taking. It went from scifi with small bits of fantasy elements, to a scifi fantasy novel. I'd like to re-write it or something and make a proper outline one day. ^_^

Also, sadly, not going to the dangerously write-in. I need sleep, especially cuz of school.

P.S. I love The Hunger Games! It was a wonderful read that took me about 2 or 3 hours straight non-stop. I'm itching to read book 2 of the trilogy now.

Too much shit to do this week. And I just found out that Kathleen Edwards was here in Ottawa yesterday for a charity concert. Grrr... wouldn't have been able to go anyways.

Also, my wireless stopped working for about an hour. Yeah, now I really have no motivation to study linear algebra. (Studying is done via watching Khan Academy)

SO I finally took a look at the CanCon site and...

wow. it's so big.

At least the logo looks good. Right?

So, day 1 of E3 is done. Or at least the press conferences are. You can (re-)watch them on IGN.com and Gamespot.com I believe. If not today, then soon!

Microsoft
Very meh. The only cool moment was them demoing Mass Effect 3 squad control using voice commands via Kinect voice recognition. Microsoft promised all these things back when Kinect was Natal and they've only delivered 50%. 10% is because the hacker community found work-arounds and Microsoft got all uppidy about it.

EA
Meh. Overstrike was very shiny though. Here's the trailer.



Ubisoft
Overall, they stood out the most for me cuz it was fun. I'm sure it helped to have a comedian host. New Rayman's game (Rayman Origins) and RABBIDS ARE BACK!! :D :D :D Of course, Assassin's Creed: Revelations.

Sony
Poor Jack Tretton. He's really not a public speaker. It wasn't all bright and shiny like Ubisoft, but it was interesting. NGP is named Vita (aka life) and wifi version costs $249.99, 3G+wifi costs $299.99. Quite a few interesting games, quite a few stupid ones too (not fault of Sony though).

Annnnnnnnnnnnd... I needs sleep.

ugh... so pissed off...

why are all credit card transactions forcing me to use mhy chip? I don't know it AND it's faster to swipe.

so now I canMt buy tea at timmys until I get my pin next week and I'm going to have a hard time remembering it cuz I don't remember shit
