30 Day Writing Challenge: Day Twenty-six

How do you handle/deal with both success and failure?

I handle success with a smile on my face and failure with an even bigger one to hide my tears.

The time has come

for another lovely update with yours truly! Ok, so this post has no real thought behind it or anything, I was just reading other blogs and got the urge (you know, the URGE, baby...-rawr-). So, the epic hair saga continues this Friday at 5pm when I go to a friend's house who'll cut it. I really wanna let my hair grow out (like, all the way), but it just looks like crap right now, so I need a cut that'll grow out nicely, you know? I'm thinking of going back to the concave look (for those of you who are confused: Short in the back, gradually growing longer toward the face) because it worked out pretty nicely last time I had it done. Of course, the last time I went to a professional and this time I'll be in someone's kitchen, but the kitchen-lady has done good work in the past as well. x) In other news, I might not have told you about the whole teachers-going-into-retirement-scheme that happened back in December 09. Well, to put it lightly: The summer before the 200...

Closing in on me

You know, I try to suppress my feelings. I see people expressing them every day and all I can see is how they just make trouble. I don't like trouble. So I keep my feelings to myself. It's sort of my defense mechanism. If I tell myself I don't care enough, I start to really not care. But lately things have been piling up. I'll be watching a show and see something like poptarts and realize that I miss them, because there's no such thing as poptarts in Austria. Or Oreos. They do have Oreos in Austria, but not how I remember them. They have the snack packs, but I want the big boxes with the rolls of Oreos in them, just because that's how I used to eat them. I miss milk. It seems weird. There's milk everywhere, right? But it doesn't taste the same. I just like it more in America. In America, I could drink glass after glass of milk, but here, I can't even take one sip without cringing. They have light and they have normal milk, and there are no gallons, j...

Movie Reviews!

To begin with, a movie that I couldn't be disappointed with, because I had no high expectations for it to begin with: Twilight (and, subsequently, New Moon ). I must confess, I read the books eagerly. I just had to know what the fuss was all about! Unfortunately (or perhaps less so, because I was happy my assumptions about them were right), the books were less than great, in both writing style and plot. Thus said, I was expecting a cookie cutter movie. Once again, my assumptions were right. This has to be said, though, Twilight was never a big budget movie to begin with! The movie producers clearly told the public that Twilight was low budget, which, in movie-speak, generally means that the screenplay is less than superb and the acting is sub par. Twilight was no exception. Now, I know there are a lot of Kristen Stewart (affectionately called KStew by some) and Robert Pattinson (RPattz) fans out there, most even since BEFORE the Twilight series hit the big screen, by...
