Go to http://lilithsveil.livejournal.com/, and comment to get updates on my novel I've been working on!
For the past month or so I've been preparing for NaNoWriMo. In case you don't know what that is, it's the acronim for National Novel Writing Month, a month where you have to complete a word count of 50,000 or more, that's about 175 pages...and 1,700ish words a day which, depending on the writer averages out to be about 6 hours of work.
I'm going to be buying a Netbook with some of the divedend for ultra portable writing with automatic word count. I've been writting in a journal that I've kept by my side 24/7 and I've been writing ideas and brainstormings in. I've already given it a name; "The Veil of Shadows". The original idea that it grew from, turns out to be of two words: Steampunk Fairies. |

Upon going to visit my hamster, Capri before going to sleep, I found her curled up next to her door curled up and lifeless.
...I don't understand. |

I managed to avoid most of the thick smoke in town, by having an awesome Chena Hot Springs trip.
Oh, by the way...I'm engaged. <3 |

It was Fourth of July, 2 days after Sarah Palin announced her resignation. What better way to give her a proper send-off!

To clarify for those who've been wondering of last post...
Jake and I are separating, for how long is uncertain. The agreed amount of time is thirty days. This was bound to happen sooner or later, everyone should know this by now. I keep posting entry after entry of us fighting and splitting up and getting back together again. I know that, and everyone else knows that. I expect no pity at this point from anyone.
I have to pack and move all my belongings, save for the furniture, out to my mother's shed. I'm to sleep on a couch for about two weeks, then back to my bed at Jake's house while he's in Europe. After that...I'm not sure. I hope, hope so fucking much, that he comes back with a changed mind and a changed heart. I can't bear thinking that he'll come back and tell me he doesn't want me anymore.
I can't. |

Jake and his family are going to the Netherlands for 2 weeks, leaving me alone in their house...poo.
I'm really sad that I can't come with, and even sadder than I'm going to be alone. But there's nothing I can do. Incidentally, I've been seeing alot about Amsterdam, France and the like...instances that come to mind are, "Top 5 Happiest places on earth, Netherlands ranking #1" and this, a fucking pillow fight in public...that would be so fun...
I want to go. I really fucking want to go. I'm upset that I'm poor, and none of my family members are willing to help me out on an oppertunity that I'm sure I'll never come across again. I have a rich fat uncle sitting on my grandmother's death money, and he's not willing to give me a fucking cent. I know I'm sounding selfish, but...I just really want to go. |

Yesterday was Jake's and my 3rd year anniversary.
Guess what he got me for my present? Guess...
A FUCKING BIKINI HELL YEAH!!!! This would be my first bikini ever, I'm so proud of myself and flattered that Jake would think to get me one...it was so thoughtful!! I was really shocked and kind of nervous about it at first, but he made me feel really confident in myself to wear it. We went to the FAC's swimming pool, and I had an awesome time!
Go me, even though I'm 158 pounds (making me 18 pounds overweight), I'm glad I can feel sexy wearing what normally really skinny girls only wear. Take THAT, Hollywood!!
P.S.: also, last night was probably THE best sex I've had. Ever. Good show, Mr. J, good show. |

Quick post before I'm off to work...
- in case you didn't know, I landed a job with Barnes and Noble. I'm pretty excited about it. In fact that's the job that I mentioned about going to after this post.
- School is going okay, aside the fact that my Interpersonal Communications teacher is, as ironic as it sounds, NOT COMMUNICATING! I've sent in my homework with no response back from her about my grade or anything! But my Advertising Concepts is going swimmingly.
- My dad called me up to ask me if I'd be interested in selling tobacco for him. He's growing tobacco seeds, but I guess is too lazy and poor to buy a business license and run it for himself. He wanted me to do everything...yeah, no. I'm totally not down for that, as I'm way too busy with school, not to mention that I'd have to spend money to buy a business license for him, AND I'd be selling a drug that would have to be checked and approved by the government, AND I'd be taxed a shitload because its a drug, AND I'm just not down for selling people their deaths. Have I mentioned my dad's kinda nuts?
- Capri has recovered from wet-tail, but I still gotta keep an eye on her to make sure it doesn't come back, as it is caused by many different things...some of which are out of my control. Since she has had this before, there's a higher chance that it will come back again. But I'm keeping my hopes up and making sure I take her out and hold her for a few minutes everyday, and we're actually bonding quite fast!
That's it for now. Thought I would give this entry in list form, make it a bit easier. |

i gave up on my mission to own dwarf cambell's hamster, seeing as it costs $150 to ship them up here by plane. i love the little guys, but i don't have the money to get them. so a caved and bought a syrian hamster at petco today. although, i'm not quite used to her size (she's big compared to how igor was), she's pretty darn cute. i'd take pictures of her, but my camera is dead and i can't find my charger. so until then, i'll have to present you with this computer generated representation of what she looks like. i named her capri, a variant of capria...or rather salix caprea which is the scientific name for a certain genus of pussy willow. her hair is short and ashy grey, like a pussy willow...well, i thought it was a creative name.
oh, and by the way, SPRING IN FAIRBANKS IS FUCKING AWESOME!
feed the hammy! click within the box above her head to give her treats! =D |

"its pretty damn simple."
simple is definately not the word i would use to describe any communication with that girl.
and she really is still just a girl...
too bad. she was really a fun person to hang around with, whenever we did. it wasn't often, but i still valued the time, and her. i still have that snoopy key chain she gave me, hanging on my purse.
so long chief.
EDIT: she says i'm a waste of her time, and yet she constantly spends said time to sending me threats, and insults. i guess trying to scare me or something...its just funny at this point. she's just embarrassing herself.
really, its no big loss that she's not in my life still. not like she was really in my life to begin with. nice try though. |

I've completely revamped my journal with *gasp* no black in sight (aside from the text, but you can't blame me for efficiency)! thats right people, its a new age...you know i do this every once and a while anywho...so check out my new journal, and userpics.
in other news, i work for a temp agency at the moment called personnel plus. they give me assignments, i do them. rather flexible, rather flexible indeed. my first assignmet was to be a caterer for a military appretiation dinner. it was really fancy, and that was the first time i ever worked with food...having free food for lunch is awesome, especially fancy food. next assignment i get to be a secret shopper, but i cant tell you where lol. if you see me at your job shopping for stuff, you'll prolly know what i'm doing XD. i get payed $10 an hour, not bad for doing work on the side, while i do school stuff. not bad at all, i definately recommend it to other college goers (david, you'd be perfect for this job).
my music collection has gotten rather boring...i've listened to everything on my ipod so many times...anyone have any suggestions to tasty tasty music? any thing will be nice, i like pretty much anything (except of course the obvious *cough* COUNTRY). i've in general had a lack of inspiration as of late...i've been happy, just not inspired. i think summer needs to get here sooner. |

Innovative, sophisticated, all you want in one very sleek and very attractive package. Only those with the money can afford her, only those with the knowledge can handle her, and everybody wants her. Meet iPod. she is a force to be reckoned with, the queen of the portable world. She can take everything you've got, from music to pictures, to videos. You can rely on her to tell you the time, keep track of your appointments, and remember all your buddies' phone numbers. She has plenty of extras, you can even play games with her, she doesn't mind. Its' not hard to see why we can't get enough of iPod.
The only words you will ever hear from the song "Satisfaction" by Benny Benassi are "Push me, and then just touch me, 'till I can get my Satisfaction". Sometimes the words "push" and "satisfaction" are repeated as emphasis on the idea. The rest is an intrusively loud vase beat, with subtle tunes to flow with. Tif you don't already know how an iPod works, it was the first of it's kind to introduce to the world of technology the "click wheel". It is used to select the song by "pushing" the center button, "touching" the wheel that surrounds it to scroll through your selections, and to turn up or down the volume of your music to your "satisfaction".
In reality, the iPod is not your dream girl, it is simply an electronic device designed to give you the best in entertainment. But with an advertisement like the one I just pitched to you on the first paragraph, it is a surefire way to get the adult demographic's mouth watering and begging for more. Lets me honest, sex sells. I hate having to take advantage of such and obvious short cut, but I also believe that the ends justify the means in the advertising world. We are all guilty of hearing what we want to hear, as our eyes are automatically drawn to what we want to see. |

"Select a musical composition that has a distinctive style. Then, create a visual composition using design principles (rhythm, pattern, emphasis, etc.) that you interpret from the music you have chosen. Create the visual using the traditional and/or digital media of your choice (e.g., pen and ink, watercolor, painting, pastels, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.). You will not literally take images from the music's lyrics — instead you will use the style of the song as inspiration to create a completely original composition. Scan your composition and create a 72 dpi .jpg to upload.
Imagine that your visual composition would be used to sell a product or service. What would it sell? Who would be the target audience? Why do you think it would appeal to that audience and accomplish those goals? How has the music influenced your work? Write a report (approximately three paragraphs) that answers these questions for an imaginary client."
that is my homework...ugh, there are so many songs to choose from, and i don't know how to visualize how it would look like on paper without directly associating something from the song in it.
i can has halp???? any song choices and corresponing visuals would be awesome... |
