Just a quick shout out to say I'm here and all that jazz. I just started on a new book. Doesn't have a name for it, but it's going to be about werewolves. Now, just because you have read or watched, or heard about werewolves in other things before doesn't mean you know mine. I'm trying my hardest not to copy other people's works on werewolves and make my own "werewolf society". I'll be uploading them as quick as I can, prolly only a chapter at a time or something like that. Anywho, I've got to run off to bed. I have praise team practice at 8:30 am. Teh sux. I'll try to update more on my life later. Toodles.

PS: Happy Easter! Yay for the Resurrection Sunday! *does the happy Easter dance*

Okay, so I started writing this play based on the book "The Divine Drama" by Kurt Bruner. This book is amazing. If you are wondering what God has in store for your life, or if you are a Christian who loves the theatre, you definitely should check this book out. I'm just going to post a bit of the intro here, just so you have some idea of what it's all about.

"We love Romeo and Juliet because it's a passionate love story. We love The Lord of the Rings because it's a fantastic adventure. We love Sherlock Holmes because it's suspenseful mystery. We love The Hunchback of Notre Dame because it's touching tragedy. We love Rocky because a nice underdog wins, and we love Star Wars because an evil villain loses. We love the Gospel because it is all of the above.

"There is an epic drama unfolding on the stage of time. You and I are part of the cast. The play is written and directed by the Almighty himself. Every line, every scene, every twist, and every turn will culminate in the most amazing and satisfying conclusion ever performed. It is the tale all other seek to tell. Every love story was inspired by its romance; every adventure, its quest; every tragedy, its sorrow; and every comedy, its joy.

"Shakespeare was right; our world is a stage--and each of us, a player. But in the drama of life, we make real choices with real consequences. The stakes are very high because, unlike any other play, this drama does more than merely portray life and death. It is life and death."

So, I decided that some people need to be updated on what's been going on in my life, so here's a long post that (hopefully) will make it all clear.

This last semester, the fall semester of 2007, I went back to Hannibal-LaGrange College (HLG). I was a junior, even though the college said that, according to hours, I was still a sophomore. Grr....

Anyways, I was taking about 15 credit hours. On top of that, I was in the children's show, the props master for the musical, and I had work study that I had to do. Now, 15 hours may not seem like a whole lot, but trust me, these classes had about 1 1/2 hours worth of homework each night. I nearly died.

So, first there was the children's show. That was fine. Children's shows are fun. This year we did "Red vs. the Wolf". It's a re-telling of the fairy tell "Little Red Riding Hood" from the view of the wolf. I was Skunk. And I was cute. And I didn't smell.

So, after that, stuff for the musical "It's a Wonderful Life" started. I wasn't in it so I asked the director if she needed any help. I was soon made the props master. Now, I've never done anything like this before, so I was kinda excited. I love looking at old stuff.

Well, it wasn't what I thought it would be. We got a new theatre dept. leader thingy and she made us do, like, all of the work. So I had no idea what I was doing. That was part of the reason why I did so poorly in my school work. I was so exhausted because I went into this vicious cycle: get up at 7 to get ready for class at 8, have school stuff till about 10 at night. Stay up late working on homework, sleep for about 4 hours, repeat.

On top of all this, my surrogate grandmother died of ovarian cancer, and I got seriously messed up over that. I had known this women since I was four years old. I kinda got into the mind-set that she would be around forever.

*sighs* Anyways, so my grades started slipping. I started to miss classes. I knew I wasn't going to do very well this semester, but I was hoping that I wasn't doing that poorly.

So I come home and we get my grades. 2 "F"s and 2 "D"s. Ick. Which means, that even if I do go back, and even if I got straight "A"s, I would still be below a 3.0 and thus, I would lose my scholarship, so I wouldn't be able to go back to HLG anyways. No point in wasting money.

So, here I am at home. Right now I'm looking for a full-time job or a couple of part-time jobs. I want to save up enough money that I can get my own apt. but that will be quite a ways into the future. Living here in Des Moines is pretty expensive.

Also, near the end of the semester, I started my own production studio, Luna Productions. Most of you have seen the lovely logo that I created myself (with the help of Adobe Photoshop Elements). Basically, right now Luna Productions is there to help me get motivated to make "movies" and the like and get the word out there about me. Search for "lunaproductions07" at YouTube to see all that I've made thus far.

Well, I think that about covers it. See ya in the funnies!

but not the way that most would prefer to be. Yes, I've flunked out of college. I got 2 "F"s and two "D"s on my report card for this semester. So, me going back this semester would basically be wasting money as I would have to get my GPA up to a 3.0, which is impossible. So, I'll be staying home (where I can check my dA) and working my butt off, hoping that one day I can finish college or get my own apartment or something.

I'm depressed 'cause I have no friends in town right now and so when they all go back to college after Christmas break, I'm going to be alone. Same thing I'll be doing that I did in the summer: Get up, go to work, come home, go back to bed. Rinse and repeat.

*sighs* Oh well, at least I have a camcorder now to make music videos and the like. :\

Alrighty, so here are the rules. Be one of 10 people to reply to this journal and I will feature 3 of my favorite things from your gallery. Unfortunately, since I can't do pictures, I'll do links.

But (yes, the awful catch) you have to post this in your journal as well. Unless you already have it in your journal. That would be....weird.

EDIT: Now that I'm home to stay, I can do this. So comments are nice!
