Friday Ideas and Silliness

Mrrhajskd, I have a test tomorrow morning, by which I mean, in eight hours. So, I'm pondering here tonight before I hit the sack, about ideas.

Before you write a novel, you have to have an idea. Some people get ideas easily, and for some people, it takes a while. Sometimes ideas fly toward you randomly during the day, and sometimes, you have to actively think about it. But once you've gotten these ideas, what makes you put them on paper? What makes you decide which idea you want to commit? There is one thing I know about myself, and that is I am a huge commitment-phobe, in all aspects of life, so it stands to reason that I would be one as a writer too.

Tell me what you think!

Also, I answered all of the questions Sarah threw at me, and here they are:

What is your favorite book you've read recently? What song do you wish wasn't ever invented? What song do you wish you invented? How many hours procrastinating do you spend a day? If Estee Lauder bottled up the essense of Johnny Depp, what would it include?

I cut out a lot of rambling, but the end still sounds like I inhaled laughing gas. I like to think my writing is a lot more articulate than my speaking, hah.

Percy Jackson: The Movie Vlog

Otherwise known as, XiXi dies of a coughing fit on screen. Also, it took FOREVER to process this video, so I'm never, ever making a video this long again. It's so hideously late night that it's actually early morning. In the worst possible way, as in, the sun is probably going to wake me up the minute I go to bed.

Lame that I get even less sleep on weekends than I do on weekdays. Anyway, ignoring my personal insomniatic woes:

(Almost) Anniversary and VLOG

Yes, I totally copied this from Weronika, but for real, I actually only just figured out how to use iMovie...today. Since I like watching other people's vlogs (because I can hear their voices IRL!), I thought I would celebrate my blog's (almost) one year anniversary (Feb. 11th!) with revealing what my voice REALLY sounds like. You're curious, right? Right? Let me pretend.

The lighting is kind of dark, but meh. It's snowy and gross outside and I had nothing to do except productive things like homework. The video is a pseudo-tour of my dorm room and a show-and-tell of the books I have on my desk. Enjoy.

Ignore my awkward rambling at the end. I have no idea what I was saying. Maybe I was on drugs. Maybe that baggie you saw on my desk was actually ecstasy. Also, I fail at making eye contact with the camera.
