Writers Everywhere!

Life hasn't changed much since I posted last. Haven't cooked any more delicious food, and I haven't started my fan-fiction yet...but all in good time, will this happen!


I found the most ADORABLE picture of my current obsession. Well, the characters of the show "Supernatural"...but come on. We all know I'm posting it because I find them highly attractive.

Oh...yes. Highly attractive. I've been watching this show religiously (kind of) since the beginning of summer. I will do my best to finish EVERY EPISODE by the time summer ends. I'm hoping to do that much sooner, but, well, you never know. It's contributing to my fan-fiction research...because...this will be what my first one is about! Supernatural, baby. If you're interested in reading it, hit me up, and I'll make sure you will be able to read it!


So today, I was just eating pizza with mi familia at this Mom and Pop pizza restaurant about fifteen minutes away from our house (It's called Rochelli's Pizza House, and if you live in the Phoenix, Arizona area of the world, you should try it out, because it's the only thin crust pizza in the world I can say that I absolutely adore). We're somewhat connected to the owners because my aunt knows them, and my family hangs out there a lot now. I knew I would eventually be meeting this owner, Mark Smith, and talking to him about the usual things like where I go to school, summer plans, major, and all that mumbo jumbo. Though, as if the heavens above were sending me a message, I never expected him to come out and say, (after I explained to him that I wanted to be a writer) "Oh! I've written a sitcom! You should read it. Here ya go!" This motivated me. Like, a lot. I don't know what it was, but hearing about all the work he had put into it, and all the times he's tried to get it produced, it just made me want to be a successful writer even more.


This also taught me a very valuable, and exceptionally different lesson of "never judge a book by its cover". Never in my life would I have walked into a pizza restaurant, talked to the owner, and thought "Oh, he's probably done some really cool things in his life, like written a sitcom!" It's things like these that make me realize that people have their own stories, and they've done a lot more than what I see on the surface. I better get to writing, because, you know, I want to be able to slip "Oh hey! You should read one of my works" into a conversation at an appropriate time. I'd feel pretty awesome.

Relaxation! Kinda...

I'm finally on my summer break! Thank the heavens above! I can finally just go through a whole day without thinking about academics or what's due the next day. Might I add, I had all A's and B's my first year in college. Do I rock, or what?

Now that summer's beginning, I've been trying to find things to do in order to keep me from dying a terrible death...of being murdered by boredom. Other than the large amounts of video games I will be playing, and the shows I need to catch up on, I'll actually be doing something productive,or at least I will be trying!

I've decided I want to learn to cook. I have been motivating myself by watching endless hours of Food Network. I want to be able to make delicious things, and hopefully be skilled enough to renovate dishes that I know and make them better. I feel like I've taken on quite the task...but I'm gonna do it! In fact, here's the first thing I cooked! (Thanks for helping, mom!)

So this marvelous dish is called Sopita. My mom has made it ever since I was old enough to remember, and I love it each and every time I eat it. When I try to explain it to my friends, I usually just say, "It's like Mexican macaroni and cheese". It contains macaroni noodles, tomato sauce, and colby jack cheese. For flavor, we add garlic salt, pepper, and some crushed red peppers for spice. I'm pretty sure I can make this on my own now, so I definitely know I'm making progress!


On a less exciting note, I also feel as if I'll just go back to being terribly bored again. There's just this void I feel like I'm trying to fill, (wow, way to be cliché), and everything I do just doesn't seem to help. I'll admit, I'm kind of missing the whole "dating" stuff, and I really hate admitting that. I just feel like I don't need a relationship to be entertained, but I also feel like I'd be a bit more upbeat if I did. I'd feel like the days wouldn't drag on and on.


Well, back to more exciting stuff! (Can't end this entry on a sad note.) I'm also thinking of ways to improve my writing. Blogging is one of them, which I will be trying to do more often, but I need more. I crave more. So...I might do something I wanted to stay away from. I might...write fan-fiction. Oh Lord, you have no idea how hard that was to say. Anywho, if you aren't familiar with the world of fan-fiction, it's basically taking books/movies/video games that already exist, and creating a story using it. (I'm trying my best to explain this...so bear with me!) Basically, you're just using that material as a premise, while creating your own story within it, using the characters from it and/or adding your own characters. I'm only so against it because I had a certain friend who would act like it was the actual story, and thus, I thought I would turn into a noob as well. (Noob: n. A person who fails.)


Hopefully, after this summer, I'll feel a bit better about myself and be somewhat productive. Here I come, summer! And on that note, I'll make sure to think of wittier comments this summer...
