So, I've got RS, English Lit and BCS out of the way now. I only have German, English, Psychics and Drama left to do. :)
Life's been good recently; I walked home from school today, which was nice considering it's about 4 miles away. It's been good weather and I was in good company; even if we did get sort of lost.
Right, down to the important bit: I've signed up for SoCnoC. For anyone reading who doesn't know what that is, it's a NaNoWriMo style event, except it's held in June. I've also signed up to StringMo on SW: both with goals of 50k.
50,000 words in any month is hard; June is almost insane for me. But I'm determined to do it :D
I'm going to work on a fantasy idea I've had brewing in my head for a couple of months. Syringe Fuelled Adrenaline is probably going to be my NaNo project in November, but that may change, knowing how quickly I get distracted by new ideas.
More details on the fantasy idea as they come but for now, I've just decided that I'll update my blog regularly with ideas, snippets and character bios :)

Hmm, so much going on at the moment.
I have four exams next week: RS, English Lit, BCS and German. Tragically, they're all subjects I need to revise for. Damn. >.<
I have a hundred odd ideas for stories running through my head, none of which are going anywhere. I have several more started, and several near completion.
Currently world-building and blogging when I should be revising. I need B's to get into my college course of choice, which means I really should be revising to make sure I get those grades. Unfortunately I'm spending my time watching Anime instead.
Went to a gig last night with a couple of unsigned bands. It was really good, which was nice :) Got their CD's too, so new music to listen to.

Wow, one day and two hours left of school, that's incredible. Part of me is really glad; there are some people I'm ready to leave behind, teachers I can't wait to see the back off, lessons I no longer care about. But then again part of me isn't ready. Part of me is scared about exams, about college, about everything else that'll start happening soon.
I'm worried about Friday; I'm spending the afternoon in a park with lots of drunk teenagers when I happened to dislike drunk people. *Sigh* The thing's I do for my friends.
Syringe Fuelled Adrenaline --- That's my new idea for a story. More details as they come, though it's a pretty straight forward idea.
Part of me wants to rant on this blog about someone (Well, two someone's) who have been really pissing me off recently, but I'd rather bitch about them to my cousin, who I love. She is immense :D

I've just noticed that I seemed to think there were 29 days in April. Oh dear; I think I may be going slightly mad.
Not much to report really. I have 5 days and 2 hours left of school, and the exam season is now breathing down my back. I really should care a little more, but the only passion I have at the moment is in writing.
And I'm skint. I'm currently trying to pay for various meet ups (bowling, town, restaurants; things like that), A trip to London, and two holidays, to France and New York. I could ask for more hours at work of course, but with my exams coming up, I'm not sure that's such a good thing. Maybe it'll do me good to be strapped for cash for a bit; it'll teach me something of budgeting >.<
Hmm, three day weekend this week. Sleepover fest with my cousin here we go :D

So, tomorrow's the last day of April, and where did the month go?
I wrote 15,000 words for the April Fools competition. I'm proud of that achievement, but it's been a push for those words at times. I needed a serious project up again, just like in January where I wrote 60,000 words in 28 days. *whoa*
So a few weeks ago I started this prompt story thing with my dear friend Vicky; and I've been hooked since. The idea is that I pick a random prompt off a website and write a short 100 odd word story section from it. It's been great fun, and once I've finished using all the prompts I'm tempted to take the small ramblings and make it a fully fledged story.
And at the end of the month, of course, it's come down to me sitting here, at my computer, reviewing my life. Damn that's a dangerous thing to be doing. Well, life is good at any rate :)
Bring on May, and study leave!

Hey Everyone
So, I've decided to join a growing trend of people creating blogs. Hi guys *waves*
To find out more about me as a person, please look at my personal profile. As it is, I've created this blog for a couple of reasons
1) To rant- I do a lot of this; I admit to it now. Even the smallest of things could set me off, so be warned.
2) So I've got somewhere to write my musings of the world. I used to use Myspace and VF, but I didn't stick around. Maybe this will be more successful
3) To talk about my greatest hobby: writing. If I'm not ranting I'm writing. I'll probably update this blog with news of ideas I've had, of characters, of snippets and of publishing news. As I start taking this hobby in a serious direction, I'll need somewhere where I can rant, rave, scream and celebrate without the worry of flooding one particular forum.
And finally:
4) 'To meet new people' - I.e. where I can hopefully find like minded people who I have yet to meet, and where also I can keep out of the hair of people who dislike me for whatever reason. After all; if you didn't like me, why would you read my blog?
So hey to anyone who's reading; I hope this blog blooms with success :)
