BORED

So...I have class in a couple hours and felt like posting, but I'm bored and don't know what to post about...
Default: Story update. I finally have reasonable cause for this huge part of my story to happen. I was quite ecstatic about it. Brooke (Jason's crazy ex-wife) is going to play a part in the climax and Oh, it's going to be good. I gave Jason two cars this week, too. He drives a Ferrari F430. Cherry red with white interior. Its such a pretty car. He also drives a Lamborghini Gallardo Spyder. That one is shiny silver with black interior. I've had a lot of fun checking out cars and trying to see the characters actually driving them. Did I mention I REALLY like the Ferrari....its SO pretty! Plus it goes way fast. That is totally awesome.
Um...I've been writing a lot, but I can't really go into a lot of detail on it without explaining A LOT of background info and what not, so I guess I'll just leave it that I am writing and LOVING every minute. The characters are becoming more real and Kyla is becoming less and less like me, which is so good. I never meant to write her like me, but I guess I did....odd, but true.
Okay, I will update more later...Hopefully class will be fun tonight. Stalker boy is in my class tonight, so we will see if I get the nerve to actually talk to him! I will keep you posted on that situation too! ;)

A stalker that doesn't know they are stalking you

So, I am in school right now, which has been so much fun! I love it, it's a lot of work, but I finally feel like I am progressing towards my goal! YAY!! So, there is a guy in my Spanish class that always sits three seats over from me, and I can't really say that I have ever talked to him before. But, I have seen him everywhere. Its the strangest thing, and it happened again over the weekend. I was standing in line at Cafe Rio with some friends and after about 10 minutes of waiting in line, I look back as this guy walks in! It was crazy. If I had actually talked to him before, I would think he was stalking me, or vice versa, but I have never talked to him in my life, so you can't really stalk someone you know nothing about...can you? Well, I guess people do it all the time, its just funny how timing works out sometime. Like when you keep running into someone all the time, but never really talk to them...maybe its a sign...

Random writing stories/comments

Okay, so this is just a post about my writing experiences this last week. First of all, B FINALLY read the manuscript I sent him like a month ago or so and so he called and we were talking about it. See, I ask B to read them because he will be completely and totally honest with me about it, but in a nice way. B is one of those people that could tell you to go to Hell and you're looking forward to the trip. So, he mentioned that it was a little Twilight-y, and my story is not supposed to be anything like Twilight, so I decided that I need to work on my character development...what is Jake really like? How would Jason Tide REALLY react in this situation...things like that.
Well, I was re reading some of the stuff I had written when Jake and Kyla's first date just came to mind, and I like it, I think it's a pretty awesome scene, and the whole time I was writing it I was thinking "does that sound Twilight-esq?" and if it did, I went back and rethought it, or left it depending on how I felt it fit in the story. It was really funny because one of my brothers was downstairs when I was writing and I asked him to tell me a cool car that wouldn't be in the Cullen's garage. Am I going a little overboard here? Probably.
I was watching the music video for "whatever it takes" by Lifehouse and when I saw the lead singer my first thought was "Wow, he has hair just like Jake...that is neat" here is a link so you all can see what Jake looks like.....kind of. Jake's got broader shoulders and is a little bit shorter than this guy....maybe....plus Jake's hair isn't blonde...he's got brown hair, but he styles it like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iawro7IfoCM
Speaking of Jake...I gave him a car this week in my writing...its a Metropolitan Gray Mica Mazda3....it really is a pretty car, and totally something Jake would drive. Sensible, and not too flashy, just like him....hahaha...okay, not really. He is quite sarcastic in a funny way. Should I rename him Zack? Because right now we have Jake _____ (he doesn't actually have a last name yet...), and Jason Tide. Jake and Jason...someone told me that might be a little confusing...what do you think? Let me know...and B, seriously, I really love ya and appreciate all your comments.

Written

I got bit with a writing bug this week, more than ussual and I was finally able to write some parts of my story that I knew I needed to write, I just didn't know how I wanted to say some things, or how everything was going to play out, and then I was sitting in History (best place for inspiration...in the middle of a class I spent a lot of money to be in!!) and I just knew exactly how this one scene was going to play out.
Now, I am a little OCD when it comes to my writing. I have a notebook I write in, and that's the only place I write, and i have a blue pen that I write with and I can't write with any other pen or I get mad and throw it accross the room. So, I pull out said notebook and pen and am taking notes in my history notebook with a black pen and whenever I get a second I am jotting down the scene in my writing notebook with my blue pen. The girl sitting next to me thought I was crazy and was trying to read over my shoulder which made me laugh because its this scene where one of my main characters, Jason, thinks that Kyla has come over, but its actually his crazy/psycho ex wife Brooke and they have this argument and he finally realizes what he should be doing instead of what he is currently doing. Its pretty cool and the girl sitting next to me looked really confused, so I moved my notebook so she couldn't read it.

LETS JUST BE FRIENDS

So...I hung out with Dan again. Can we all say AWKWARD....holy cow. I don't know what happened there. It was on a Sunday...again. I wasn't very happy about it, and if I wasn't such a nice person I probably would have been mean...but I'm too nice of a person.

And then he called me this week and was like "So, I saw that you called....what were you calling about?" and I was not going to call him again...ever...so I said "Um...I didn't call you." and then you could feel how awkwardness he felt through the phone. So, we talked for a little bit and then he said "Suzy, I think you're a great girl, but I think we should just be friends" and in my head by this point, I was thinking 'did you really think I wanted to date you.....hmmm...thats interesting.' and then he was like really nervous I was going to hate him or something, so I made it very clear that I was going to tell him the same thing any ways and then he said "Well we should still hang out and stuff, I think you're awesome" and I was thinking....yeah....oh wait no. So, I mentioned how incredibly busy this semester is for me (which is no lie, I am going to DIE this semester!) and then ended the conversation and if I can help I probably won't hang out with him again.
You may ask what happened here. I mean at first I totally would have dated him...but it was somewhere between the first "date" (I don't even know if it truly qualified as a date to begin with...first sign right there...) and the constant changing of plans at the last minute. Yeah, I'm not cool with that. I don't like thinking I have plans for a Saturday night just to have them canceled when I'm supposed to be going out. That is LAME and also...he was really churchy. Not that churchy is a bad thing...I mean I just got home from a mission, I'm pretty churchy myself, but this guy was over the top. I didn't feel like I could be myself, and I didn't feel like I could say some things, like the word "crap" I know its not the best word, but its part of my vocabulary and I felt like I really had to watch what I said around him....so, glad he's gone and I am moving on without even the hint of looking back. Boys stink...lets throw rocks at them.

More on the Date...

Okay, you win...I will finally give you more details. So, it really wasn't anything huge. I mean we ended up talking at Dan's apartment for a couple hours. We talked about a lot of things, and he isn't freaked out by the fact that I served a mission. So many guys hear the words "Returned Sister Missionary" and immediately freak out and no longer want to talk to you and often say something like "I didn't like the sisters in my mission" so the fact that Dan thought it was cool that I served was a definite plus. Um, yeah, we just talked...it was cool. I don't know what else you really wanted to know...he's cute, he's fun, hope he calls me again soon!

Update

So, I don't have very much time, I'm on my lunch break at home, but I wanted to give you all a quick update on how the date went...it was so much fun. he's a really nice guy, and I hope we go out again soon. More juicy details later....I promise!
