My Reading Goes Past The Bounds Of Books

It started a while back when I was just starting to get into writing things when my mom showed me a new paper article about the website FanFiction. I brought it up on my browser and immediately made an account. I started reading all these wonderful fan stories about everything I loved and I wondered who had thought to make up such a website and how much I wanted to kiss them for doing it. For a year or two I fell deeper and deeper into the realm of FanFiction and then one day I just stopped. I had over 150 favorite stories I was keeping up with and about 100 authors that I loved just as much and I kept finding more stories and more authors. My inbox was so crowded with the latest update on a FF that I started reading them less and less. I couldn't handle all the awesomeness that was the authors and the beautiful creations they made. This was... I'd say about 2008. Recently in choir I was talking to my friends Andi and Sandy and my friend Sandy started talking about all the awesome Harry Potter FF that she reads and then Andi exploded with this one great FF that she was reading that, in one month, had thousands of people under it's spell. I asked her what it was about and it was a fiction based on Glee. Right then and there I nerdgasmed and then she went on to explain how it was so amazingly written and the OC's were believable and I was shocked. She sent me a link to the story over FaceBook (I haven't started reading it yet) and just seeing the page made me dive right back into the fiction I had left so long ago.

Andi and Sandy got me back into the stuff I loved but had somehow grown away from and DAMMIT I LOVE IT! It sometimes blurs my lines of the book and the fiction but I don't really care because I know it's a good story when that happens. If they author has the ability to make me confuse the book with their own creation they have done their job on the fiction.

You should read FanFiction too. Sam.

Life

Life is life is life, my friends. School is time consuming, looking for a job sucks, and getting horrible grades on tests that are for classes in your major is heart crushing. That being said, I still thoroughly enjoy the class. I realize that I need to study more and actually pay attention and care for what I'm doing in my classes. You learn a lot of life lessons in college and it is definitely a place where things come raining down on you. You have to be fast and able to deal with the shit that falls from the sky. It's hard, but if you try you can do it. I need to get my shit together, buckle down, and try as hard as I can to do what needs to be done. As of now, this includes studying for classes, paying attention in said classes, knit like my heart depends on it, search for jobs, apply for scholarships, and work out. It's so strange how it feels like things can pile up when, in reality, you can take a step back and a deep breath and realize that there are many small step...

College Life

Aww yeee. Livin' it up, yo. I'm kidding. Let's be honest here, I do nothing almost all the time. I don't go to parties, I'm not a person who goes out much, and overall I'm not interested in that kind of life. I like my sitting on the computer or playing video games all day. It suits me because I don't want to cause trouble and I don't want to get pushed into something I don't want to do. It's the perfect life. 8] My classes are pretty cool. I go to Northern Arizona University and am planning on getting a degree in Electronic Media and Film (EMF), which is going to be awesome. Right now my classes are pretty blah because it's my first semester at college. Even still, it's been a pretty good first week. I have a math class, an English class, and EMF class, a communications class, and a freshman seminar class. They're all pretty awesome, but the best class at the moment is definitely my seminar class because it's called Reinventi...

Long Time, No Update

Hello my  lovelies, I realize that it's been a few months shy of a year since I last updated and I'm not sure why that is. All I can assume for the last blog posted onto the sight is that school got busy and I forgot that I had a blog. I keep a link to my page up near my tabs so I'm not sure how I forgot that this existed, but it happened and it's over. If I remember, and I hope I do, I will continue to update this blog with posts about my life and what's going on. I have a few other blogs of varying degrees talking about other things such as college in and of itself, movies, and knitting. All of which I have not updated either. I think the website/profile thing I've updated most since February would be Twitter so I'd go ahead and follow me on that if you really want to keep track of me. I don't have much else to say except for the fact that it's nearing Christmas and I am beyond excited about that! Maybe I'll update on Christmas about what I got...
