• Freddy:  Burn stuff?

“Do you know what hurts the most about a broken heart? Not being able to remember how you felt before. Try and keep that feeling, ‘cause if it goes, you’ll never get it back……..Then you lay waste to the world, and everything in it”

— Cassie Ainsworth, Skins

Cassie, I’m shit with words. Everything comes out so.. crap. But, I’ve been doing some thinking, and everything is getting clearer. The thing is, Cass, I’ve woken up this morning and the sun’s shining through the window and it’s making me think of you. Cassie, it’s not right you hiding away in that clinic. You’ve got to get out in the world. Cassie, I don’t care if you think you’re odd. Because I feel like singing when I see you. And you’re beautiful. And I’ve been a fucking chapstick these past few weeks, and all I want to do this morning is sit on top of Brandon hill and hold you and tell you how wonderful you are, and.. I love you.

i'm seeing "inglourious basterds" today. again. for the fifth time.

i like to think of myself as “enthusiastic” rather than “pathetic to the nth degree”

---> this is what I want to do with "The Young Victoria" 

"Oh, very good,” interrupted Snape, his lip curling. “Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. ‘Ghosts are transparent’"

Today was a really magical day. It amazed me. Firstly, I woke and went to the dentist - running down the steps quickly to catch the train - and I got my braces off. I look totally weird but the comments that I received today were very kind. Then I came back to school, after buying a moleskin journal at gordon, and had a lesson with my history extension teacher and Maddy, even Mr E said I looked nice which was very sweet. 

Then I had a free, where I did absolutely nothing except talk about Nicky, Alice, Alexandra. About my book. Then we flew to modern, got two lollipops and received our marks for our trials back. I got 72 % - very happy because I was expecting much less. 

Then Ellie drove me to St Ives shops, we got our usual starbucks cookies, and we parted - she went home and I went to the bus. I caught the bus to gordon, and the train from gordon to roseville. Where I walked happily and amused past the wonderful gardens at roseville station and the wedding shop until I reached the roseville cinema. Inside I watched the most wonderful film - THE YOUNG VICTORIA. I cannot wait to buy it on DVD. I think I'll ask for it for Christmas. It was really beautiful.

Instead of going home, I caught the train back to gordon, went to the library and looked in the Victoria and Albert section, and the literature section. I got a nice collection of books. A biography on Albert, Royal Children, a CD reading of The Tempest, a book of Shakespeare's soliloquies and a book of Wordsworth poems. 

Came back home to find we had internet after nearly a month without it. 

Planning to continue reading: A Vindication of the Rights of Women by Mary Wollstonecraft and The Reader tonight. And also flipping through my new books. I have already read enough of The Painted Veil today (although I desperately don't want to put it down). 

Planning to: continue writing my transcript, continue writing my new creative writing, reading modern homework and finishing my Thutmose III essay. 

“May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t to forget make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.”

Don't forget that when you finish Trials you want to watch a few things:

1. Ballet Shoes: with Emma Watson in it.

2. Harry Potter at the movies

3. Aristocats

4. Mulan

Things I Want

Dresses. 

Nude lipstick, and use nude/sparkly lip gloss over the top.

Tree of life and new Berlei ad on tv. Need printed skirts, flowy, flowery.

Why is it so easy to write midnight letters to people who will never read them? I’ll fill 1000 notebooks this way…

unsentletters - oh, how i do this in my mind constantly. i just never write any of them down. and all the words linger in my conscious and unconscious.

“ My stranger on a train. I make up stories about you as we click-clack across the city, pulses of blood along veins of industry and commerce. One huge beating, pumping city and you and I are single celled. Red blood going in. Blue blood coming out at 5:30pm. How was your day? Do you enjoy what you do? Do you pretend to enjoy what you do? Who do you love? Do they kiss the sweat from your forehead? Do they whisper in your ear? How do you take your coffee?

This is my stop. I’ll see you tomorrow.

— I Wrote This For You

The most solid advice for a writer is this, I think: Try to learn to breathe deeply, really to taste food when you eat, and when you sleep really to sleep. Try as much as possible to be wholly alive with all your might, and when you laugh, laugh like hell. And when you get angry, get good and angry. Try to be alive. You will be dead soon enough

— William Saroyan

A.C. Crispin: 6 ways to increase your writing productivity

1. Write something EVERY DAY.

2. NEVER end your writing for the day by completing a scene or a chapter.

3. When you’re feeling unsure about what to do next, RE-READ and EDIT.

4. If you’re genuinely blocked, delete the last five pages of your story and then rewrite them, polishing and editing as you go.

5. Review your synopsis.

6. Go elsewhere to write (coffeeshop, library, etc.).

i hate shoes, too. i’d rather be barefoot. one summer, my cousin and i stayed up at her mom’s cabin in northern california in the woods. we ran around for three months with no shoes on. we called it having “country feet”; where you got so tough that you couldn’t even feel it when you stepped on sharp rocks. i miss her. that summer was fun. :D
