Fics, Fics Galore!

Hey all!

Oy, I thought that I would have a whole lot more time to write than I have lately. I have three stories that I'm currently juggling, and a few more that are in the planning stages, and have to be kept pretty hush hush. And now, with the Winter Fic Exchange, I'm about to add another to the pile.

In all honesty, I haven't been in all that much of a writing-ey mood since my Grandpa died. I don't know, it's kinda like I lost my mojo or something. I mean, at least when I was busy, and had no time, I would write things down, and little by little it would look like a chapter. Now, I don't know.

I'm trying. I really am. TC and Amy's fic are at the top of the list, and want to have The Last and it's sequal done by the end of the summer. I'm being realistic with it, and I have just about the best procrastination skills ever. I'm not kidding, either. I won an award for it back in HS. I also won one for The Worst Camera Girl, and Best Fake Accent, as Boris Yeltson, and Best Substitute Talk Show Host, which I won by beating out Sarah B and Katie in the Julia Show tryouts.

God, I haven't thought about that in a long time.

My friends and I used to have a talk show that we would do whenever we needed a project for school. We have episodes made for Novels and short stories, current events, World History, even one about chemistry. We would make commercials that would fit in with whatever we were doing.

We even did a few episodes that had nothing to do with school. Like when we were bored, and had a video camera. I remember poisioning Jules with 'bad haggas,' and how it took forever to get the fake eyebrows and mustache off of Sarah B. I thought that she was going to have to go to school with that cheapo black lipstick that we found in her sister's old makeup kit. I think we finally got it off by removing a few layers of skin from scrubbing so hard!

It's funny how you have such vivid memories of things that happened with people that you aren't even friends with anymore. The only person that I'm actually still in contact with is Jules, and I only talk to her every once in a while on AIM. I haven't talked to Katie in forever, as she is two years younger, and we just drifted after she moved out of Old Mill. And Sarah and I haven't been friends in years, when she decided that we weren't good enough for her anymore. If it wouldn't have humiliated us along with her, we so would have published the Julia Show for everyone to see, and laugh at her Saddam impression (eyebrow and lipstick mustache incident of 2000) or her insane asylum ad, where we had a straight jacket. I mean, we had to use it!


Ah, friendships. They are complicated, aren't they?
