Great Highs and Deep Lows


Hello Everyone,

Well...it's Sunday, I should be going to church in an hour and a half, but because of this pounding headache, I can't. I won't be able to concentrate nor will I be able to actually appreciate the sanctity of Mass because I'll probably be worrying about this headache. Trust me, it's not an ordinary headache. It's actually bordering on a migraine...which I do get quite often. Of course, you're probably wondering why I'm on my laptop writing this, rather than napping it off...I tried to, but sleep eludes me, so I have to do something, otherwise I'll be bored and you know as they say:

Idle hands make for the devil's work


So yes I'm just trying to bide my time, while my head is playing up. Thankfully my brain functions aren't impaired by that much (I can think...but not too much, my head will start pounding if I do), that's why I'm writing this post.

Now, time to record what happened yesterday, so I don't forget for one of my assignments (for university). First, you all remember received a call on Wednesday, offering me a job prospect...well, so far it's going well. I won't say much, otherwise I'm giving it away, but all I can say is that I may be starting this Wednesday afternoon filming this project! The reason why I say may, is because they weren't quite clear on whether or not I'm starting this week. They said I could start as soon as I can, and well...that's this week, but I'm not quite sure I'll be ready for it. Oh well, we'll just have to see when the time comes. No use worrying about it.

Plus if I worry, my head will pound again...that's why I'm on a "deep low" at the moment. Yes it is because of my head that I'm currently suffering. As you all know, gave up Facebook for a week, and now I'm back...honestly? I don't really feel different. I mean, when I didn't use Facebook, I felt fine. I actually felt better, I didn't need Facebook, and actually I was quite reluctant to return. You see, without Facebook, I kinda felt a lot better, although a bit cut off. I think it's because, I keep seeing "relationship" posts on Facebook, not just on my friends' profiles but also as articles I would apparently "love to read". I actually miss the time I didn't use it. However, I know I will have to use it, for university assignments, and whatnots - eh ;) - so I'll have to wait until the time I don't have to use it at all. I'll be glad when I can give it up for lent (I can't give it up next year, because again I'll need it for university assignments), because it'll build me up as a person. I felt closer to the past week. I actually strived to live with him, but now because of Facebook I'll be distracted from him. Of course I'll try my best to ignore Facebook, every now and then, and solely focus on God, but it will be a challenge. One I will be glad to take up.

Anyway, that's pretty much it. Hopefully this headache goes away tomorrow - I have lectures in the morning. So I'm going to lie down again, trying to get rid of this stupid thing, and watching a documentary about Tutankhamen called Ultimate Tutankhamen

As always, do with this post what you will, and I'll see you next time. God Bless. ^^

Progress Report! Sir!

Ok so I think it's time I posted something up, otherwise you lots get bored. Not that anyone reads it, but who cares! I've decided not to care, not even the amount of views I've got so far!

Well, I guess you'll all be happy to know I've made it to Chapter 8 in...what...5 days. That's something. I've managed to tease you in these few chapters, and the big heavy stuff will be in the later chapters, so watch out for that. I've got a few more people on the review panel, so I can edit a lot more easily, most of them aren't writers...well...writers in the sense of actual fiction...but yeah, anyway, they'll be helping me with the stuff, so once it's out in the open, I'll be crediting them (maybe not by name if they don't want it, but crediting them nonetheless).

Next, I've been working at this non-stop, so maybe by the end of this year, I'll probably have it up...if university work and other stuff don't interfere. I highly doubt it, but there you go. Ok so breakdown of inspiration and stuff...Mainly it's the music I'm listening to...The chord progressions and the overall theme of the music is just the epicentre of it all.

First of all I'm listening to the amazing violin skills of Lindsey Stirling. You can click on her YouTube channel here (oh and I am not endorsing, this is just for credit purposes): Lindsey Stirling - her stuff is amazing! I especially love her song Shatter Me (yes it's clickable), feat. Lzzy Hale from Halestorm (another clickable). Anyway, most of her songs are my inspiration, along with music from Audiomachine, which oddly enough I used in my A2 coursework (I used the song called The New Earth) - you can Spotify them, I love their music, it's all epic and stuff, helps me think of really cool battle scenes or ending scenes! Anyway, I also use Labyrinth (The link is to their IMDB page not the film itself) - OF COURSE! My inspiration and possibly obsession...and Disney's and the original story of Beauty and the Beast (again IMDB). Not only that, some things are from the fan-fictions I love, the ones that I referred to before:

The links this time are to the fan-fiction themselves...reader discretion is advised - THEY ARE MATURE!!!! Just as a heads up. Anyway, they are on fanfiction.net so they don't have a title page, and start on the first chapter/prologue but I don't think that would be a bother.

So that's the gist of it. But details are...well, when you read the prologue, listen to Lindsey Stirling's Take Flight, that particular "chapter" was based on the song. I just imagined the first few lines, and things took off from there...the rest...I dunno, sorta happened...ok so I based it a little on the story I had before (which I am never going back to - I've literally deleted from every data store I have, so literally there is no going back) but this time, things are a little bit more developed. So yes I hope you like it...if and when it does decide to turn up on the internet.

After that I guess the rest would probably speak for itself. So wish me luck...or not, since no one actually comments on these things...

...

Anyway...
