Another Full Moon

I'm gonna try and get into the habit of blogging at least every other day. I was going to blog about my first day back at school (today) but it was so boring and uneventful. Of course, I suppose it could have been more interesting if I hadn't only gotten two hours of sleep last night. Nothing is interesting when I'm exhausted.

Here's a short story I wrote months ago about Remus Lupin and the Marauders experiencing another full moon. For those unfamiliar with the Harry Potter series, Remus Lupin is a werewolf. He (Moony; Harry's 3rd Year DADA teacher), James Potter (Prongs; Harry's father), Sirius Black (Padfoot; Harry's Godfather), and Peter Pettigrew (Wormtail) were best friends at Hogwarts and they called themselves the Marauders. When Remus' friends found out about his being a werewolf, they started researching animagi. In their Fifth Year, they finally succeeded in (illegally) turning themselves into animagi (people who can change into a specific creature at will) so they could accompany Remus during the full moon.

Without any further ado, I give you, Another Full Moon:

Imma Be a Busy Bumble Bee.

 Title? Inspired by the very annoying "Imma Be" by Black Eyed Peas.
Time: 9:01pm.
This is going to be a really quick blog, because I'm really short on time. I stayed downstairs, talking with my family while waiting to hear something from the hospital. It took my nan three calls before she got through to the ICU at the hospital, and the operation had only just finished. However, from what the nurse can tell, he's alright. We have to call again in the morning because they'll be able to check him over properly by then.

So, from seven, I've been catching up, writing my Dribble Drabble, and stuff ... I have to do an English project, due for tomorrow*, and I'm currently alternating between finding pictures to write about and writing up this blog. Ah, last-minute stress. Thank Merlin it's English - any other subject, and I'd be screwed. But words come to me pretty easily, so that's alright**. I have, currently, forty-five minutes.

My eyes are still really heavy and achy, my inspiration has come back a little bit (my dribble drabble was really easy to write), and my fanfiction readers are probably getting ready to start an angry mob. I haven't updated two of my collabs in nearly a week. In my defense, it's the 50th piece for both of them, and I want to post it at the same time, and I've been re-writing and editing one of them constantly, because I love the plot but don't like the words. I'll explain it to them when I post. Hopefully, they'll understand. I just want to make the big 50 special. Also, I'm having trouble making a fluffy, family friendly fic about a canon pairing that everyone loves. Because some people have said they find my slash/T-rated stuff disturbing to read, so I want to make something that everyone will enjoy. I'm thinking of doing Molly/Arthur, but I need to get an idea for them first. Perhaps, if that plan doesn't make it, I could do James/Lily fluff. Everyone loves J/L. How could they not?

I haven't had time to catch up on blogs, either, because I've been so caught up lately. I have, like, seven new blogs in my dashboard thing, waiting to be read, from yesterday and today. And I need to watch the last three episodes of Neighbours online. And find time to complete these bl'min FF things, and continue to write Dribble Drabble. I know I'm complaining about doing what I love again, but having to do so much in such short time is so hard***. And to think I was considering teaching myself German, and start learning the guitar again. I don't have time! O_O

Time: 9:25pm.

I really need to focus on this homework, now, so I'm going to leave it there. Keep blogging!

*It was set weeks and weeks ago, but because it was so far back in my planner, I didn't look that far back, and completely forgot about it until yesterday.
**Says the girl who took two weeks of idea-squeezing to think of an idea for her Christmas story. And then another week to write and edit it (Although once I got going, I finished it quickly... and then put off editing it, which is why it took so long xD).
***I laughed as I wrote that. Inside joke with my friends and a girl from my Science class. Saying "so hard" reminded me of it. Haha. Don't ask.

Tardis bang bang, Daleks BOOM!

 As if the title didn't give it away, this blog is going to be about Doctor Who. It contains spoilers for Victory of the Daleks, the third episode of the fifth season, so if you didn't watch it yesterday, haven't caught up on it, or live outside of the UK and it hasn't aired yet, you might want to go read something else. Or, you can just skip the Doctor Who part. I'll let you know when it's over by changing the writing.

[Note = the stuff about Doctor Who was written hours ago, at 2-something in the afternoon. I saved it as a draft because my internet was playing up, and I didn't go back to it until now].
So, yes, I just finished catching up on Doctor Who, because I was a bad DW fan and missed it. It wasn't as great as the first two, but it didn't let me down. This season is really changing everything up, eh? New Tardis, new Doctor, new companion, new sonic screwdriver ... and now new Daleks, too. I liked how scruffy, beat up and dull in colour the Daleks were. Now they're squeaky clean, with bright different colours ... I don't dislike them, but I definitely prefer the old Daleks. And, speaking of Daleks, we all love them but they're getting kind of old now. I understand that they're really important and they're the Doctor's biggest and oldest enemy, but they can only bring the Daleks back so many times before the fans just groan and say, "Them again. Ugh." rather than, "OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!! THE DALEKS ARE BACK!!!" Some fans are already complaining, I've noticed. The Doctor can only defeat them so many times.

I love how the Doctor's plans don't always work, and Amy manages to work things out. With the other companions, they were pretty much tag-alongs to keep the Doctor company. But Amy has a brain, and she uses it! Ellie commented my last blog, saying that we "got a confession from Amy". So, naturally, I was waiting for Amy to spill the beans about the wedding. But she didn't. I can only assume Ellie meant the "Have you ever fancied someone you shouldn't?" was the confession. I don't know. Ellie, if you're reading this (which you should be, since you're following my blog xD), was that the confession you were on about? Or did BBC iPlayer cut part of the episode out? Heh.

So, anyway, another amazing episode. Can't wait for Doctor Who NEXT Saturday. Favourite quotes from the episode? "Don't mess with me, sweetheart." ~ "Alright, it's a jammy dodger, but I was promised tea!"

DOCTOR WHO TALK OVER!!

In other news, I really don't want to go back to school tomorrow. I have to wake up early, which is not a good thing, and I have to leave the house for the first time in two weeks. I can't be bothered! I just want to stay at home and continue neglecting the outside world. Besides, with school starting up again, my hours are going to be seriously cut down. I get fifteen/twenty minutes before I leave for school at 8:15am, and then I don't get home until 3:10pm usually, because it takes five minutes to bustle through the crowds of kids, say goodbye to my friends, and take the two-minute walk to my house. Then I'll lose another hour when I go downstairs to watch Neighbours, and eat my dinner. And then I sign off the computer at 9:30pm. Now, in that time, I have to catch up on all the billions of site I'm on (KW, KWC, Twitter, DeviantART, Blogger, YouTube, etc.), post a blog (until the end of BEDA, at least), write my dribble drabble (which I usually leave until late, anyway), read, AND do my homework. Last time I was at school, I wasn't on DeviantART, I didn't blog as often, and I wasn't doing dribble drabble. And I generally neglected my books, which I'm determined not to do again. AND I want to finish my Sudoku book by the end of the school year (July) - I generally do one or two Sudokus every morning, and one or two Sudokus every night, before I go to sleep and after I wake up. I'll probably be too tired/busy/short on time to do that.  AND, I still have to keep up with my writing, or my readers on Fanfiction.net will get angry. As it is, I haven't updated for three days, when I usually update daily. And I'm going to try to teach myself German, using my mum's old German dictionary, and talking to a German friend (BONNIE!) online when I get confused. Gah!

Yeah, I know, listen to me. "I expect too much of myself. My life is so hhaaarrrd because I only get a few hours to do the things I love." Cry me a river and drown in it, much?

Other news ... other news ... other news. Ooh, I know! I got this really sweet message from a girl on FF.net, and it's so lovely. It warmed my insides, and I'm going to share it with you. I'm leaving it as it is; not even fixing the grammatical/spelling errors. Because it's lovely, even with those errors.

So, I think I may be in love with you. (A nice, stalkerish note to start this message off with)

I first stumbled upon your page through 'once upon a quote' and fell in love with the imagination, the use of charecters and the quotes used. I looked on your page and saw you loved all the same books and tv programes as me, and to top it off you are a youtube lover too! alex day, ALL CAPS, tom felton! :D

I really love your fanfictions. Please keep tem going, I will eagerally await updates. Sorry about the stalkery/pervy email - I wish I could write as well as you and you could read some of mine, but alas I have as much writing prowness as...someone who can't write well (I think I just [proved my point).

So anyway, well done! :D Anita x

 

Thank you, Anita. On a very 5AG note, my day is awesome because of this message. She's so sweet. <3

 

Now, I have an essay to type up, and forty minutes to type it up in. Thankfully, I already have the rough version in my English book. But, seriously Miss. English Teacher, no one cares about the relationship between Frankenstein and his monster/creation in the crappy Philip Pullman playscript adaption of Frankenstein. Yaaawwwwnn.

 

So, yes, I'll leave you now. Keep blogging!

P.S. After the stressful hour I just had with Carissa, the admin of KWC, I can safely say that every time I hear the words "crash", "test" or "dummy", I am going to be reminded of the anti-climatic end to our stress, and probably laugh. Because, honestly, after so much hassle, the solution was surprisingly simple. And I love the fact that only Carissa will understand what the hell I'm talking about.

P.S.S. I now only have half an hour to type up that essay. Damn. Focus, Steph, focus! Did I mention that it has to be in tomorrow? Yeaahhhh. *headdesk*
