The Dangerous Night of Writing Dangerously...Well sort of... :-D

Sleepover at #2's house! We got our laptops set up, and are tapping away at our respective keyboards, typing diligently. Or, at least, that's what we'd like you to believe. While we have got a fair amount of writing done, we've also been spending time on the Script Frenzy site, reading Screnzyisms*, and looking at amazing, mush ocean photography by Jim Patterson. It's just...wow. You HAVE to see it for yourselves.  http://www.jimpattersonphotography.com/index.html Well, what are you waiting for? Go on! Get!

*Example of a Screnzyism:
HEATER jumps up and gives MIA a hug.
AAhhhhh!! Look out Mia! A radiator or some type of heating device is going to engulf you in an embrace!

Now we're off to watch The Big Bang Theory!! Oh procrastination, thy name is bliss.

The trials and tribble-ations of Screenwriting #1

WOW! So many posts today! Well, here's my contribution to it all.
Today was the first day of my screenwriting class, down at the Sacramento State Campus. Three hours long, and totally worth it. Our assignment for today (due on Thursday) was to read the script of The Princess Bride, and to come up with a 2-3 page synopsis of an original script.
After class, my mom and I went and go my shiny new OneCard ID/money card, and then made our way to the University library, where I began working. I'd had a plot I thought I was going to use, but after I had written two pages of the synopsis during which nothing really happened, it died completely. I spent at least three excruciating hours attempting to first save it, and then replace it. I never knew writers block could cause physical pain before....
Finally, I got up and walked around campus, thinking that might help. It did. I think I can safely say that finding ones plot after a bout of writers block is just about the most pleasurable sensation anyone can experience. I think I'll save my newfound plot for another day, however.

Just a reminder

The posts (including this one) from A Little Note...up are all #2's (mine).

My fishie tank!

Wow...the posts just keep piling up! How many have I posted today? Ah well, tons, yah...anyways, time for more! Here are some pic of my fishtank!

The Camping Trip

The camping pictures!

The Camping Trip...And Some Other Stuff

So, the day after school got out, my family and along with other families from our Chinese School went camping. Our family traveled with #1's family. #3 rode in my mom's car and I rode in #1's. Here are some pics that show you where we went before the campgrounds. The place that we went was called Turtle Bay. It is amazingly pretty there. They have a large garden, a museum, a cafe, a park, another museum, animals, and a butterfly garden! (The camping pictures are going on a different post.)

School - And a bit later

Okay, for those of you who don't know, we got out of school! Well...a long time a go...let's see, today is the 22nd, okay, we got out on  the 10th of June, almost 2 weeks ago, wow. Well, anyways, the last day of school was pretty fun, I went to every one of my classes and got my year book signed my TONS of people, then got out a 12:00, it was a pretty mush day!! After school got out, I walked/biked back to my friends house and then we went swimming for about one and a half or two hours and after that, me, #3 and a friend all rode down town to meet our other friends. We walked to borders then left and went to a nice yogurt place for a treat then separated. Me and two of my other friends walked around and went to a cafe to get Italian Sodas (AMAZING!) and then I got a ride back to their house and spent my time there watching youtube vids till 7:30. At a totally yummy dinner at their house! Curry will chicken, cranberries, squash and a some other stuff, mixed in with yogurt, so good!!
Sorry #3, I didn't mention that little episode that happened in between all the fun...I might sometime later...it is kinda sad though.

The Modeling of #3 again (#2's post)

So, for some reason I have been really interested in photography in general and #3 seems to be my only "model" and a few days ago, I decided that I wanted to try it out again, but a little bit different from last time...let's take a look!


A little note...

Guess what? I get to do a henna class today! It starts at six and I'm assuming that we just put the stuff on ourselves! So by the end of it, I'm going to be covered in henna...well...maybe not...but anyways, it's going to be awesome!
I probably shouldn't be the one posting this, but seeing as #1 hasn't I will, #1 has decided to do a script writing project at the community college near us. It's for 3 weeks and on Tuesdays and Thursdays...it sound fun! Well...that's it, I'll let #1 tell you about the script and in a few minutes, a few more posts are coming. About what...I cannot say! TTFN!!!

Just one of those days... #1

Today has a weird feeling. And it's only what, 11:51? I got up at ten, I think. Just one of those days, I'm standing around the house listening to Gary Jules Mad world and trying to find stuff to keep me busy. I swear, all I need is a light rain outside and the mood would be perfect.

You know what really, really makes for a bad day? Someone giving you bad news while you're still in bed. Come on! I'm not even really awake yet! And it makes the whole day awful then.
Today, I was informed, while still half asleep, that my grades were being held because I still had not returned two library books. If they won't release my grades, I can't send them to the NASA INSPIRE HQ, which means I can't participate. And you know what I really hate? I REMEMBER TURNING THOSE BOOKS IN!!!! Distinctly!!!
