I know....its been forever since i've updated my lj, or my fanfiction.
its getting more difficult to find time and inspiration to write and i really wish i had never started the sequel to 'The Secret' because its not going to be finished for a very long time.
not much to say. There's work and school. Acamdemics is going okay this year, socially........eh....nonexistant but i'm driving now and that's all that matters

disregard my last comment. i dont know why i'm trying to become a part of a group
that is so obviously not me.
screw it.

Okay, i'm becoming a part of this community called "our lunch table" woo....okay.
anyways, try to join, here's the link:

HEY YALL!!!!!!!!

i know i havent updated in ages (if anyone still reads this). I still dont know if anyone from ff.net does or not. I am working on "The Remnant" and "To be a Werewolf" i have the next chapter for i just keep forgettin to send it to badbugz but i will.

my new poison is Yu-Gi-oh! I absolutely love Japanese anime. If anyones read the comics (which many havent) then you'll realize just how crude and violent it can be, a far cry from the shit they display on cartoon network, though yes,i do love fox's display of YGO they just put in too many damn commercials.

I'm in a dilemma here.
As you all know, i'm in marching band. well i have a class i'd liek to take and the only class i can drop for it is band. I figured that i wouldnt though. unfortunately i'm going to be gettting a job soon and i wont be able to attend the summer camp or the evening pracices....sigh....i dunno.
i'm already taking precal, cellular molecular biology, english three honors, us history honors, pyschology, earth environ., and spanish. i'm wanting to take southern appalachain with mrs. ramsey. she talked at her class and i absolutely loved how she tuaght.
anyway, life here is boring but YAY FOR SPRING BREAK!! WOOHOO!!!

i'm finally starting to work on my book though there is so many things i want to add in that i dont even know where to start. anyone have any tips???

okies....well, Emmy is prolly getting pissed at me because i'm not talking to her as i'm at her house but what can i say? i LOVE HER KEYBOARD! I LOVE LAPTOP KEYBOARDS THEY ARE SO COOL TO WRITE ON!!!!!
anyway, i'll er.....i dunno....do something.


yay!


till next time,

Chimes F.

Hello everybody!

I found lots of new icons so that's good. pray for snow I WANT SNOW!!

i didnt practice my clarinet today, i feel bad.....but i'll practice twice as hard tomorrow.
um....life is good. i want it to snow. nothing new is happening.
i've started a new story (like that's news to anyone that knows me) and i'm thinking of starting a website.

bye,

Skylar

I'm really bored and life sucks.
didnt get any sleep last night but what's freaking new?
hmm....thinking of something to type but cant come up with
anything. i absolutely hate playing clarinet on a 3 1/2 reed
because its really hard to play on. my teacher says
it will get easier but it hasnt been and i am
going to this thingie pretty soon south carolina honors band?
is that what its called? i dont know. i really suck at sight
reading so that is going to be my downfall.
JAYME WHY COUDLNT YOU HAVE BEEN A CLARINET?!!!

-Skylar

hi, I'm bored. today is wensday, luckily a hlf day.
i've got so much work to make up its not even funny.
we did this survey thingie today to see who our "match" (friend match) would
be. at least....i think its for a friend match. maybe it is for
a bf/gf one, they did ask for your gender.

anyway,bells about to ring!

Bye bye!!!

Yay! Its Friday!!!

Okay, I'm happy that its friday but i am also incredibly hungry.
i really really love music as anyone who reads this lj knows.
the more i play in band, the more i love it though there is the constant question of 'are you good enough?' then again i love writing though that could always be done on the sidelines.
anyway, my clarinet teacher asked me if i wanted to join some kind of practice band
at the college that meets every monday. sounds cool. i might
do it if i pluck up the courage. i was to wimpy to go to
All State and from what Teague tells me, I probably could have done rather good
since i knew all of my scales and only one person there knew hers.

anyway. enough for now. i can barely see, i need to stop
getting on the computer so much. i think its making me blind


-Tia

Hello,
My clarinet is in the doctor because it needs new pads.
Algebra II sucks really bad. I really hate Algebra so much and I'm having trouble on my homework.
Is anyone good at Algebra? Help would be much appreciated.
Hmm....tomorrow's a half day so thats all good but i really
dont want to go to Algebra :( i would rather go to English
YAY FOR ENGLISH!!!!!!!

Hello everyone,

Hm....where to start? oh yes, I got no sleep at all last night but somehow i feel okay with it. lets see....my biology eoc is tomorrow and i'm very nervous about it since i havent studied but i hope i'll do okay. in band i dont have an eoc so that's why i'm in the library. i still have two hours of free time left so thats kool...

Well, to any ff.net readers, I have the next chapter done, which will be posted lets see...how about saturday? okay then. i'm working on the chapter after that and im almost finished with it as well.

well i dont know what else to say. i really am kind of content with the new year. y'know, just to start over and stuff. i really cant wait for college though, as long as i have my friends.
okay, i'm rambling, dont mind me, i'm just overtired!

^_^

-Tia

And so we go on to another year, with one left behind. It makes me sad.

My Grandfather:
January 27, 1937 - December 26, 2005

This is the first year that I'll be leaving someone behind. It seems so strange that he'll never see the year 2006. My grandfather was diagnosed with Lung Cancer two months into 2005, ten months later he died. It is statistically proven that 94% of those who get Lung Cancer will die within two years. Smoking is the number one cause of Lung Cancer for smokers and the second cause for non-smokers.
In all honesty, I cant see why someone would do it. After all of this, my stepfather, mother, and grandmother have all quit smoking when they having been smoking for over forty years. My idiot brother continues to do so.
Its very hard to stop smoking and I know its hard to resist peer pressure, but in all honesty, please dont smoke. I saw what my grandfather went through for the past ten months and I wouldnt wish it upon my worst enemy.
I know I sound like a drug-free commercial, but I dont think someone can truly wish never to smoke unless they've witnessed what happens first hand.
I lost a grandfather who was closer to me then my father, aunt, and cousins were.
If I ever see one of my friends smoking, I'll surely annoy the shit out of them until they stop...thought I dont know how much good it will do.
If anyone from ff.net is reading this, I have the next chapter of TBAW done as well as the one after that. It will be updated as soon as I can find a floppy disk to transfer it from my computer to my sis's.

Here's to 2006, hopefully it will be a hell of a lot better then '05 was.

Tia Evans

life sucks, christmas was terrible in some ways though it was still the same. if anyone is looking for an update on my story, i dont know when its coming. its really the least of my worries. merry late x-mas everybody

Hello. Its the beginning of the holidays for our school thank God.
We werent able to take out third and fourth period EOC's because of inclimate weather. Whatever. the only time i actually want to do to school, we dont. so i have to tediously study biology for the next two weeks. on top of that, my grandfather is in the hospital again. it was kinda weird because he hasnt been eating and all of the sudden, this morning, my mom came in and was like, "Grandpe's in the hospital again, do you want to go?" It was pretty early so i said no because he goes to the hospital alot merely because my grandma freaks out. but then she says, "He's dying." Okay, so i went.
mom told me that grandma had told her that he was dying but she tends to overreact so i didnt think much of it. unfortunately, she wasnt overreacting this time. literally this is going to be his last Christmas, and i'm hoping he'll be able to make it to that.
it was really bad, going in there and seeing him all frail and weak. i havent really cried over him having cancer yet and just seeing him sent me into tears. my sister and i went into the dayroom to calm down, but we came back in to listen to what the doctors had to say.
the first doctor, the one that Bree and I actually listened to, was really negative and said, pretty much that he didnt have alot of time left and made it sound like he wasnt going to make it through the day. anyway, Bree and I got hysterical so we went back into the dayroom. it was really sad because Bree had to find the nurse's room so she could heat up some water for Grandma's coffee and she was just about crying. one of the nurses led us to the dayroom and heated up the water for us.
anyway, it was an exhaustingly crappy day. luckily, the second doctor told us that basically what was wrong with Pupup was that he was malnourished and he wasnt going to die right away like the first one said.
my grandparents are in the midst of moving so we have to pack up the rest of their stuff by thursday which is going to take a while.
that was sad too, my grandparetns house have been like my own home to me. i grew up there as well. now its all bare and empty and every time i walk into a room, i can see myself a year or more ago, happy with my grandparents (happy) doing whatever, which usually included doing something fun with my grandma while Pupup complained (half-heartedly).
i keep thinking what it was like a year ago, when everything was going so well.
heh...you never do realize the good time i suppose. its hard to think that in a year i'll probably think of today as a good time.

I am at school right at this moment with Emmy!!! YAY EMMY!! okay...i never took my SAT's because i forgot my ID and wasnt able to take them. oh well...*shrugs*...I'm not loosing my money since we can reschedule and that's for the best i think because i havent been studying at all for it so...yeah..
the only thng that is blocking me from my wonderful Christmas Break is two more weeks of school, an EOC, and a Vocats. woohooo.....i'll be soo happy when school is out.
for any ff.net readers. i am terribly sorry for the extremely long wait. i dont know when i'll get it out but i will try....and i will actually try to write more to see if i can get two chapters out before christmas though i'm not promising anything.
all's going okay i suppose. i'm bored...it was a two hour delay because of the snowstorm that was suposed to happen but never came. oh well....another is supposed to come this thursday.
i'm getting my class ring so that's cool and i am starving but Emmy says they dont serve breakfast on two hour delays so i'm stuck with an empty stomach. anyone got any food? i would really appreciate a nice bowl of chicken fedachinee alfrado if that's even how you spell it.
And so i am off to the wonderful world of Marketing!! yay for DECA!!!!!
-Tia

PS-heh...sorry...i cant say 'Christmas' i have to say 'Holidays'. how gay is that?

well everything's going okay i suppose..not great just okay. i'm so nervous about the SAT's that are this saturday. i havent studied at all and i'm so rusty in math. i havent even taken algebra two yet i'm just taking it to get in this school which i dont even know if i want to get in anymore. its strange. anyway, my parents paid $41.50 for it so i cant just skip it and its never too early to take the SAT's right? RIGHT? right.... i dunno
anyway, i broke up with Christian, i feel bad about it but it just didnt work out. i know my readers on ff.net are probably getting pretty pissed off at me but they'll just have to wait. i've been having alot of crap going on. i have been mostly trying to revise my story, 'The Secret' as the original sucks really bad and the grammer is horrible. i'm thinking of revising it all the way up till the chapter where i finally get my beta reader.
okay, i'm bored....leave me a comment...

we already have our tree up and it has a few presents under it. i tried to get my parents to let me open one, saying it was the eve of thanksgiving but they wouldnt let me...oh well. nothing much to look forward to for thanksgiving except for the food that's going to be served and the fact that after thanksgiving its christmas all the way. that's good. i love christmas...most wonderful time of the year...
my step-sister, step-grandparents, grandparents, and the half brother of my step-sister are coming. geez...that's a mouthful...its like saying 'well my third cousin's nephew's great-aunts fourth cousin is coming!'
nothing really to look forward to. itll be nice to see my grandparents because ever since my grandpa was diagnosed with cancer, we havent seen them nearly as much despite the fact that they live half a mile away.
i'm not that close to my step-sister, whose much older then me. she doesnt talk much and is one of those people who clams up unless you really know them. i'm kinda like that...but not as bad as she is.
let's see...my step-grandparents are sweet but they tend to be a bit annoying, especially since my step-grandfather always snaps at my step-grandmother for no reason which really pisses me off.
i hate it how alot of men think that they're the dominant gender sometimes...all the time...whatever. it just really makes me mad how many women are raped every day compared to how many men are. why is it that women are considered so weak?
i know some women make themselves out to be really weak but i cant stand a guy..teasing or not...who thinks he's dominant of me. my boyfriend teases me so much about how slow women are and that still really pisses me off...
says he has an excuse since he was raised with two other women and no father figure. well my brother was stuck with my mum, sis, and i, and he doesnt complain...really annoys me.
anyway, happy Thanksgiving Eve, and i really feel sorry for anyone out there who is anerexic (if that's even how you spell it, if you havent noticed, i'm lazy on my lj's).
what really sucks is that my sister and step-father are always getting along so well....i still feel uncomfortable around him despite the fact that i've considered him a father figure for about five years now....

-Tia Evans

ps- my sister is such a bitch.

Out of school early today!! WOOHOOO!!!!!!!!!! Sleeping in and staying up, my two favorite things. I'm really going to be making progress on 'To Be a Werewolf' and if anyone ff.net readers are reading this, I plan on staring the sequel to 'The Secret' pretty soon. i've had a really good plan for it for a long time and i realize nearly five months is a long enough wait for a sequel so i better post before everyone looses intersted in this thing. hmm...lets see...what to write about....unfortunately i wont be going to the parade coming on the third which the band is participating in because of SAT's. ugh...i was hoping that i wouldnt have to take them so early but i do want to get into this really good school. oh well...i'm confused.
i'm dying to see HP 4 again and i'm hoping either Sara or my mother will want to go see it because they havent seen it and i can kind of tag along.
thanksgiving coming up...hooray...a bunch of relatives invading the house hurrah. question: isnt Christmas supposed to be the main holiday where families come and gush all over you? i'm confused. thanksgiving is cool and all, i just prefer Christmas as more of a 'family' holiday.

-Tia

Today is our last day!!! As you can see, I've finally
redecorated my lj to fit what I want. I finally got an
icon as well. Anyway, its all good. I am making progress
with 'To be a Werewolf' if anyone from ff.net is reading
though I'm at a bit of a road block.
I am finally working on my original story as well though only
in writing on a sheet of paper. Right now I am waiting
rather impatiently in Marketing class for the announcement
that will tell us that we're getting out early for snow, that
would be nice. I could go see the fourth hp movie again which
i thought was much better then the third one. it showed all
of the major details but there were so many that there wasnt
enough time to put any minor details. oh well, it was still
pretty awesome and i look forward to seeing it again and again.
Anyway, someone talk to me because i'm really bored as of right
now.
EMMY WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU!!!!! you're leaving me alone here!
well the world history test WAS due on monday though everyone in
class thought the same as you so Tif, Johnny (who still hasnt done
it), and i did absolutely nothing while everyone struggled to
finish the test.
Anyway, I guess that's all for now. I'm bored, someone email me, talk
to me about hp or something.

-Tia

All is going good! No school Friday thank God!!!!!!
The more I get into music, the more I dont want to go to the School of Math and Science.
Ah, well, I'll take the bloody SAT's which happens to be on the same day as a parade for
Band. I guess I'm okay in Band, but is being decent in high school good enough to
be a pro? I dunno.
But I'm happy!! X-mas is coming up!!! Woohooo!!!!

-Chimes

Lets see......I suppose everything's going pretty okay now. I am finally getting some sleep thank God!! So its all good. Halloween was uneventful, but fun. I dressed up as a gypsee and went over to Sarah's (adoptive Aunt) house to give out candy. About sixty kids came ranging from a guy that dressed up like a cheerleader (with all the works) to a little girl who dressed up as a black eyed pea. It was freezing and I got sick but what the heck, I dont mind. Luckily, tomorrow I'm leaving on an overnight Gear Up trip to look at colleges around the state. Woohooo....at least I'll miss school.
I'm getting a bit hooked on Star Wars fanfiction as well though I dont know any good sites for it. People aren't updating on ff.net as much as usual. The sixth hp book left me absolutely devastated though I know he's still good no matter what anyone says. It was rather rushed to me as I've said a billion times before but oh well, all good things must either come to an end, or fade away.
None of my favorite stories have been updated for the past month. Some of them are finished rather quickly like 'Prometheus Bond' by Dius Corvus which had to be the most amazing story I read. Well, at least there is authors like Aspen in the Sunlight whose written almost a hundred chapters of 'A Year...' and still Snape remain IC with each chapter about thirty pages long. Now that's dedication. I always tell myself if I had more time then I'd write more in both fanfiction and my original story though I dont have any time because I'm too busy doing...well...nothing I suppose. Isnt that strange?
I'm really happy because I finished the first rough draft of my first chapter in an original story. I am determined to publish at least one book in my life and while it would be wonderful if it made the best seller, I just want it to be published.
Strangely enough, I'm not going to use my real name, or even the pen name people know me as in ff.net. I'm using 'Chimes Fergusson' I think. One of my old friends in band made that name up for me and though I've lost touch with him and he probably won't believe me, I did swear to him that I'd write at least one book under the name Chimes Fergusson. So be it..
I've told myself a million times with each prompt i've come up with that I'm finally going to stick with the plot and see the book to the end, but it never happens. Why is this one different? I know I'll probably loose interest in this plot eventually but I'm hoping my friends will have sense enough to smack me if i give up on yet another plot. I've actually written a small summary of each story I've tried to write and so far I've come up with about twelve prompts.
Oh well, I need to type up my essays and poems that I've written. I finally gave in and made a notebook putting all of my works, except those on the computer, into it. Come to think of it there isnt that many. My computer has about five poems and three essays I've written and I've recently written one on Rosa Parks who was, by far, a woman to be remembered.
I'm beginning to really love music, I always have before but I'm almost thinking of giving up this academic school I'm trying to get into just because I want to pursue a career in music. What I hate is that the two things I love to do more then anything are very risky jobs. In order to be a prfessional musician, you need to be really good, i know that. Writing is always very risky. It shouldnt really matter, and it doesnt because i dont care about the money really, i just want to be able to survive by doing the things i love. One is actually very lucky is they manage to do that.
So I suppose that's my plan. Go to college majoring in journalism or music, explore the world (hopefully but doubtfully), settle down in steady job, get married, have kids, and die.
Sounds intersting doesnt it?
