72,000 words!

Greetings readers!

And I do have readers! o.o I knew Alison and Pearl read this, (thanks guys ^.^) but I have other readers too! Thank you adrennalinpro for reading! I don't know what you mean you hope to be as good as me, I don't really do anything impressive with my blog. Er, that's one of the snags I have thus far with my book...I don't have a title at present. And I have no idea what I'm doing about publishing to be honest, but if you have any recommendations that would be epic. <.<

I hit 72,000 words! The first Harry potter book is about 77,000, so I'm only 5,000 words away from that! And I need to remember: This is a rough draft. I can go back later and change or edit things, so I need to stop worrying about how perfect it needs to be or how maybe no one will like it and both it and I will be a total failure and why am I still talking like this?!

OK, we did not go to that conference. Guess why! We got the day wrong! It was on Saturday, not Sunday...so we missed it. I'm surprisingly disappointed, I was starting to look forward to going. It saved a lot of oh so thrilling drama, but still. I was wondering what they would have to say about it...and that maybe it could help me get closer to God in spite of this. Not that I still can't get close to God, but it would be easier if I knew more about the relationship of the my faith and my...preferences, in detail.

We had another get together today, which was awesome. We played the Naruto PS3 game a lot, and the game is just amazing...and we played Dragonology! Which Alison won, after what must have been a couple hours. With much tickling of David in-between. We also made (or rather, David made with some minor assistance from us lowly peasants) Chicken Alfredo with a salad and bacon, then he made a cobbler with strawberries and peaches. Yeah, that sounds dreadful, I know.

Vampire Diaries...how many times can I praise that show? It's just fantastic!! Eye candy + plot = very happy Andrew. The main actress plays the heroine and one of the more villainy characters! And the show V, about aliens and stuff, is really good too, though not quite as epic. I want more Merlin...but thankfully, Naruto is no longer just history/flashback episodes!

And as, you know, a side note, (like it shouldn't have been the first thing I blogged about) my parents are finally divorced. It's not exactly something to be really cheerful about, but I'm glad it's done. Hopefully they can both move on with their lives now, and I'm sort of hoping dad will be able to let go of mom. Mom took us out to dinner afterwards, and it was actually completely awesome. We went to our grandparent's house after for dessert. I love mom's parents, they're wonderful. ^.^

I've started chatting on deviantART's chat-room thingies, and it's actually nice. They're some really funny, cool people on there. I'm mostly chatting in a gay/bi/etc chat-room. <_< The people there are helpful, and supportive. I've never actually talked to other gay guys, so it's quite interesting to be able to interact with them.

Altogether, things are going well lately. Please pray I keep doing well with my book, get more motivated to write for longer, and do well with my situation and stuff. Long blog. >.>

Thank you readers! You're (and I know you didn't see this coming) awesome!!

Andrew

...Happy Belated Groundhog Day?

I don't blog nearly enough, do I? >_>

OK, my book is coming along veeery nicely. I'm at 61,000 words, and the first Harry Potter book is about 76,000, so I'm getting there. I'm getting excited with my story too, and had better get moving into the more action-y parts. There is romance, in case you were wondering (hopeless romantic talking, my Edward is out there somewhere!...or maybe Jacob...or perhaps Damon Salvatore...sorry >.>).

We took our usual group, which I think I just have to start mentioning by name, of Alyssa (best friend), Pearl (best friend's sister and perverted friend), Alison (raised Christian like I was, and getting used to me and my weirdness. Alyssa's best friend), and David (my little brother, 3 years younger than me, and becoming an awesome cook) up to our aunt's cabin for an all weekend sleepover thing. Except this time, we took my ex-girlfriend Ellen. <.< She now knows about me, and seems alright with it. We've been broken up for a couple years now, and weren't on the best of terms, but hopefully things will get better now. Now most of my friends know about me, though I still have a few that I'm not sure I should tell...I don't want to risk losing them...

Anyway, we played Scrabble, watched movies, and had an all around good time. We stayed up till seven in the morning before going to bed...we're such bad homeschooled children. Of course mom was awesome, and she loves my friends, and they love her. May I use this opportunity to again stress the fact that I adore my mother and think she may be the greatest person currently living.

Dad is taking me to a Christian conference about homosexuality, to help people with family members deal with it, and to help people suffering from it to get over from it. I'm not very hopeful to be honest, and a bit nervous. I'm thinking it will at least give me some more information on the negative aspects of the lifestyle, but I'm not going for my dad. I'm going to God. If I'm going to live in sin, I can at least make an informed choice about it, and hopefully it will at least make me guilty. Odd thing to hope for, I know.

Anyway, I love my friends, I love my mom and brother and dad, I love the rest of my family, and I love God. I love my readers too, but I don't even know if anyone besides Pearl reads this. >_> Hopefully I'll be able to get through life, without messing up too badly. Hope and pray for me readers, life can be difficult, but it can also be good.

Happy Two-Weeks-After New Year!!!

I'm a bad boy, a very baaaaad boy. v.v

I haven't blogged in a while. >_> We got Cataclysm!! It's AWESOME!!! (no one saw that word coming) I made a Worgen, if that's how it's spelled, and made it a mage. I've never been a mage, but I'm liking it so far.

We just had a get together with friends, and it was a lot of fun. ^.^ We made breakfast for dinner, and of course I had too much to eat. Two of my friends, who I didn't think would like the PS3 even though they like Naruto, were playing it a ton. *chuckle*

I got the High School Musical 2 soundtrack....I love it. <-< I'm so very weird...but then I'm sure you knew that. "You are music in meeee"....love those songs. And of course Sharpey's Fabulous. "I want fabulous, that is my simple request, all things fabulous, bigger and better than this".

My book is going well, and I'm LIKING writing, and things are coming easier.

Oddly enough, I don't have a lot to say in this blog, and I don't feel much like...well blogging, so I'll end it here.

Inner Dragon

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas readers!

I hope it's alright I call you readers, since that's what you are. It just sounds cool, like tons of people are reading this. >.> Which I doubt they are, but still, I can hope.

I'm debating whether or not to tell me family about me, it's a tough decision. I think most people would be alright with it, since my cousin is also. I could also tell some more of my friends, but since most of them (like me) have a Christian upbringing, I'm not sure how they would take it. I don't want to risk anything, so I think I'll at least hold off on that for a while.

Had a good Christmas! For Christmas Eve we went to our grandparent's house, which was awesome (there's that word again!). One of my aunts was a...bit intoxicated, so her reaction was quite funny when my older cousin revealed she was pregnant. >.> They're like the perfect couple, my cousin and her hubby. She's gorgeous, he's a hunk, and they both look 20 years old when they're really 30.

I got a lot of money, which is always-you guessed it-awesome. I also got a carved, small wooden piano from my cousin in Texas, which is both random and cool. We got a PS3 from Dad, and two games for it from Mom. ^.^ She also ordered us Cataclysm, an expansion for World of Warcraft, which is an amazing game, but it has yet to come in. Dad got me a set of hot sauces, which look good. I think he really is trying, I'm just still not sure how to feel about him exactly...

One of the games is a Naruto one, which I am crazy over. I think I like that show a little too much, but I can't help it! The game is EXACTLY like the show, you could play it instead of watching the anime!

I don't focus enough on the true meaning of Christmas...I should more...I'm too superficial...

And to end it on that happy note.

Merry Christmas to all, and to all mashed potatoes!!!

I'm a bad person. v.v (who uses "awesome" way too much)

Well...I haven't blogged in forever...I'm horrible...feel free to throw chocolate covered fruits at me...preferably strawberries or cherries. Hopefully this big blog will make up for it...

Well...I told my brother about me. >_> We've been going through a lot of stuff lately, our parents are splitting up (yes, uninformed readers. I'm still working on the "revealing everything" part of this blog), so I wasn't sure it was the best time... He actually took it really well, "one more thing to add to the list" as he put it. He says it won't really change or effect anything, which I'm very happy about. I was honestly afraid he would hate me, or at least resent me or something, but he didn't...I'm very lucky to have him. Plus he makes amazing muffins, and gave me one earlier. <_< What can I say? I'm a sucker for food.

Speaking of food, we've been cooking more, which is awesome. What's even more awesome is that we'll be taking a trip soon with some of our friends up to our aunt's cabin and we'll all be cooking dinner and stuff together! Plus we can play hide and seek in the dark. ^.^ May I say for the record, anyone who doesn't like that game, or thinks it's too childish, we would love to play with you and prove you wrong. >.>

I'm also a sucker for my friends, I just adore spending time with them. The younger sister of two girls I know, she's only 13 years old people, wrote her own song on the piano...it's just amazing and beautiful, and much deeper than I could have imagined. She's so mature for her age, and she said she always feels "safe" around me. How sweet is that? As I told me brother, she is a gem. Anyone who doesn't think so better get to know her, that girl is an amazing person.

And another younger sibling-the little sister of my one and only past girlfriend, I might add-is also hilarious and fun to talk to. She's raising an army of vampire bunnies...you gotta love her. :P Why am I always drawn to the little kids? It must just be I'm more their maturity level...plus I like making them laugh.

Thanksgiving was epic, but Christmas time is approaching! Ah! I still need to order the presents for people! I have a feeling they'll be getting them late...I feel bad. I just keep forgetting to get dad to order them. And I need to get something for mom...any ideas would be wonderful.

Harry Potter 7 (part 1) is so incredibly perfect and AMAZING!!!!!!! *pantpantpant* OK, sorry, but it is. Plenty of humor despite the dark atmosphere. Great magic and action. I adore Hermione, if I could be any person from that series it would be her. Plus she had Krum after her at some point...gimme. <.< They captured the book perfectly, it's not even funny. Seriously, it's not, people die, stop smiling just because of the Krummy comment I made about Victor sKrumsish. -_-

Might I add the eye candy show....I mean Vampire Diaries, is probably my current favorite show, and has surpassed Twilight in my eyes. Don't worry Emmett! I'll always think you're a hunk! But sorry, you've got waaaay too much competition in this show. <.< Stefan and Damon, the main guys, are hot enough as it is. But the two football playing guys: the best friend of the main char, Matt, (big, buff, buzz cut-blonde) and the jerky werewolf, (short black hair, huge muscles, tan skin, sound familiar?) Tyler, are just.... *drool*.....pardon me. Plus, if you're looking for cute girls, look no further. Caroline (not sure on spelling) is gorgeous, plus she's very sweet. Bonnie is like...wow. Chocolate skin, big pretty eyes, and an attitude you do not want to get in the way of. Plus she's a witch, so that's awesome.

My oh my how the obsessed get distracted. Understandable though, it's a great show. AS IS MERLIN!!!! THE THIRD SEASON JUST ENDED!!!!! MORGANA IS AWFUL!!!! BUT ARTHUR IS GETTING TO BE MORE LIKE A KING!!!! IT'S AWESOME!!!!!......I use awesome way too much. Changing the title name.

Now, I could go on about the eye candy in Merlin, but I think that's enough for tonight. If you will notice, it's almost 3 in the morning here, after a long night of writing I wanted to write a "quick" blog before bed. Look how well that turned out. >_>


Aaaanyway, thanks for listening to my babble!

Baaaaack from vacation!

Hiii.

Since I last posted, I've gone to a dance with my friends, which was awesome. >_> I've also been on a vacation to Disneyland, (which was the best) Magic Mountain, (which was also awesome) and Universal Studios (which wasn't as good as I thought it'd be). <_< And Harry Potter 7 is coming out tomorrow. We're going to the midnight showing, which we're having a party for. >_> I bet you all hate me now. <_<

Anywho, it was interesting to see Los Angeles, and how one minute you can be in a bunch of beautiful buildings, then be in an area with crappy stores and homeless people sleeping...it's probably a very hard life for them. I wish there was something I could do for people like that, but I don't know how to help them. Just giving them stuff wouldn't really help for more than a short while, but I don't know of a way to just give them jobs or houses...I went off on a little rant there, didn't I? >.>

My brother and I have started cooking a looot! ^.^ It's so much fun....we made brownies, from scratch....SUCCESSFUL brownies!! We made muffins too, but they're not as good. We made pasta for night to dinner, which isn't as impressive, but was very good.

If any of you care, I'm not sure whether to sign my messages as "Andrew", or "Inner Dragon". Tell me which you think I should use, if anyone reads this.

Dorkily yours,

Andrew/Inner Dragon

I'm baaaack!

Happy.

I have returned. >.> From the land of hope and wonder. <.< BTW, for those who haven't, look up Charlie the Unicorn on Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5im0Ssyyus     2 and 3 are good as well.

Merlin is an AWESOME show. Just watched the latest one. Look it up if you want, but if you need the link to the show online, I has it. <.< The show has a lot of veeeery attractive people, both guys and girls. Morgana may be the most beautiful woman on the planet. Arthur is, of course, a total hunk, and Merlin is just adorable with his silly smile. Great show, lots of humor, great magic and action (I have a few of the spells memorized), and an all around great show. Vampire Diaries is also amazing, and also has much eye candy. Damon Salvatore...how about salivate? Talk about male model. Plus Stefan Salvatore would make a better (and sexier) Edward than Robert Pattinson any day. And the girls too, they're simply gorgeous. Bonnie is be ee ay utiful, and so is Elaina (sp).

We had a great time at the cabin, played this game called "Minecraft", it's slightly addictive. Also played the Eragon video game...which is surprisingly good considering the movie sucked. The books are fantastic.

I love my mom...I'm just able to talk with her to freely, she is definitely one of my best friends. It's so different from my dad. She's always been there, he never was, she talked to me about everything, he only talked to me when he had no other choice. Mom's spent time with us, taken an interest in what we do. She likes our music, she asks about what's going on in our lives, she even plays our video games a little bit. I'm just able to hop up onto the counter and talk with her, and yes, the image of an 18 year old hopping up on a counter IS funny. -.-

Anyway, just letting you know Mom's #1. >.> I don't really think that could ever change...she knows about me, and she's OK with it. I think that was the final thing for me, that I can trust her with anything because she loves me unconditionally. That might be one of the biggest problems in this world, people don't love one another at all, they could care less what happened to others. I really hope I'll never be like that, and with my mom to inspire me, I don't think I will.

...freaked out at how sort of deep that was.

Andrew
