About 10,000 words.
Sort of my attempt to try a semi-dystopian, fantasy-treated-as-science-fiction type of thing while taking out my frustrations with school on it. Also a study of human hypocrisy and the barriers that exist between people.

Broken into two parts because it's too big for one.

WHOO 16,000 WORDS IN FOUR DAYS! 50,000 WORDS IN 30 DAYS!

The story of We Are a Continuum (I'm pretty sure you don't capitalize the "a"?) is actually FINISHED as well! By "finished", I mean it has a beginning and an end written and middle pretty much exists too... Okay, I need to fill in some of the middle chapters a bit, but I didn't even get to the halfway point of the "story" at the end of NaNoWriMo last year.

I didn't think I was going to finish this year, I really didn't.

And I haven't gotten to the point of completely loathing my NaNovel either, thank goodness.

YAY!!! *breaks out the balloons and cake and champagne*

So. I have a dilemma. I have been invited to apply for this "UW Academy", which, essentially, is a program where high school sophomores are invited to start college their junior year at the University of Washington (I live in Seattle, for those of you who don't know). It's mostly based on academics (ie GPAs, SAT scores, ACT scores), and my parents are encouraging me to apply, but if I actually get in (decisions are made in, like, May), I really don't know what I'd do...

Cons:
1. I've heard that the UW Academy kids are very immature/socially stupid. More so than me. And if I get into that program, I'll be seeing them a ton.
2. This is a terrible reason, but... The UW Academy kids are very stereotypically Asian and I don't really want to be lumped in with them. I'm Asian but I rarely get along with other Asian girls. Well, in Seattle anyways.
3. The college tuition is more or less the same as if I go to the University of Washington after I graduate high school. As are the scholarship opportunities. So it's not like I'm saving money for myself/my parents.
4. NO ORCHESTRA :(
5. University of Washington, while a perfectly fine school, is not a Dream School. I'll probably apply for it senior year anyways, but I'll always feel some kind of regret if I don't get the chance to aim for a Dream School.
6. I have no idea what to do with my future, so why should I jump-start my future?
7. I don't want to miss out on high school life. I hate high school, but for some reason, I still want to get through it.
8. I won't be a high school graduate.

Pros:
1. I can graduate college younger and make money and junk. I'll probably seem very smart or something.
2. There's a good chance that unless I get into a better school that offers me better opportunities (AKA cheaper tuition), I'll go to University of Washington, so why avoid the inevitable?
3. I'm not going to pursue music professionally, so who cares if I miss out on the greatest high school orchestra in the northwest?
4. I have no idea what to do with my future, so why don't I start college earlier to figure it out?
5. I can go to my Dream School for graduate school. (Whatever that entails.)

I guess it's pretty obvious by now that UW Academy is not truly something I want to do, but I'm just afraid that I have no chance of getting into a better school than the University of Washington and if I pass this opportunity up, I'll regret it 2 years from now when I DO in fact make the decision to go to the University of Washington as a high school senior.

I miss being a freshman. Or better yet, a middle-schooler.

a) I hate school. As a whole, sophomore year will definitely be better than freshman year, but that's because the last year was a total fiasco. I thought that it would be really fabulous that my school has moved back to its renovated campus, since it's a twenty-minute drive from my house, but it turns out it takes me about an hour to get to school on public transportation. I have to wake up at about 5:30 AM every day and get to school at 7:00 AM because if not, I'll be late. Gee, the Metro system is sooo accomadating

What's really unfair is that all the APP kids from Washington get their own school buses in the morning and I'm just as good as they are since I got accepted into APP when I was in sixth grade but didn't go to Washington...

b) Since the only, very few friends I have are APP kids, I have nothing to do from 7:00, when I get to school, and 7:40, the start of class. I just walk around campus over and over like I have a purpose until I can go to my first period classroom for Marine Science without looking like a fool. Plus my Marine Science teacher hates me. I kind of have an urge to burst out into the hallway in tears everytime I'm in that class.

c) I have a shitty seat in Orchestra, THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SCHOOL GOOD. I need a better seat but I'm scared that everyone else has gotten better than me.

d) The Trombone Player and the Cellist have broken up, my friend told me. I guess I care a little bit, but not enough to want the TP again. It's just an ego thing.

e) Just finished Havemercy last night. It made my life better :) I'm currently reading Melusine and will read The Amazing Adventures of Kavelier and Clay next. There's a very strange and coincidental slash and male-bonding theme going on with my reading...

so yeah, I've always wanted but never remembered to do this...

CHRISTMAS FIC GIFTS!

Yes, you point and laugh at me because it's like, I dunno--AUGUST, but I'm a procrastinator of Olympic caliber so it'll definitely take me four months to accomplish this on time. Plus I'm doing NaNoWriMo again this year, so that's the whole of November, gone. And no, I don't care if some of you don't even celebrate Christmas.

I've always liked the idea of being a Santa Claus (of fic) and posting multitudes of pieces here on the 24th of December, and plus I'll benefit from writing more now that Scribes is over (sigh), so just comment on this entry with a description of what you'd like for Christmas and I'll do my best to finish it by December 25th.

I can do both original fiction or fanfiction, and my fandoms are: Harry Potter, Tamora Pierce, (sadly) Twilight, Ouran High School Host Club, Doctor Who/Torchwood, anything Sherwood Smith, Artemis Fowl (and other Eoin Colfer stuff), and pretty much any other book I've mentioned in this LJ. (No I'm not going to do any Wuthering Heights 'cause it suuuucks.) I probably won't do any Edward/Bella either because that too sucks, though I'll consider Draco/Hermione or Harry/Hermione ONLY if you ask me reaaally nicely. I have no qualms about gen, het, or slash, though I'm not going to do NC-17 for obvious reasons. I can also do original fic if you give me a genre and a prompt, though you should probably know I'm best a fantasy, romance, humor, and/or contemporary. No poetry.

So, yeah. Request away! I am quite at leisure!

- First off, does anyone know what the hell "bffl" stands for? Cause I just checked my email and apparently, some girl wrote "bffl biatch" to my honesty box, and I CANNOT imagine that "bffl" stands for anything good. I mean, I'm pretty familiar with chatspeak and shit typing, but geez I'm baffled. Google seems to think it means "best friend for life", "Blackice Fantasy Football League", or "be fit for life", none of which works.

I highly doubt I have a best friend, and definitely not a best friend for life. And very few friends I possess will ever ever use the term "bffl" or "biatch." Wth, Facebook.

- Yes, I realize this should be a post about The Sweet Far Thing. I'm still kind of digesting since it was neither squee-inducing like Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox or puke-inducing like Breaking Dawn.

- Writing Camp (AKA Scribes) is so amazing. Seriously, I've never had education this... fulfilling. I'm not churning out brilliant stuff but I don't feel self-conscious and just--ugly like I do when I go to school. I'm sad that it's going to be over on Friday.

And I have to do a READING. Of my WORK. In front of PEOPLE. It's hard enough for me to be the center of attention, but to read prose? My prose isn't really fit for reading aloud--it's better on paper, unlike poetry, where sound and passion is a lot of things, if not everything.

- I've just realized Trombone Player (yes, him) has kind of improved and screwed up my writing at the same time. Before he and Cellist completely KILLED MY SOUL, my writing was less feeling and less effective in general. Now stylistically I'm better than I've ever been, but I can't write anything that doesn't hurt like hell.

- I wish somebody, ANY body in real life from school will at least ATTEMPT to contact me. I know I don't have any "true" friends at Garfield High, but it just sucks that nobody cares... I'm not anything. Nobody'll miss me if I don't exist. It's very John Green.

Your result for The Harry Potter Husband Test...

Mrs. Black


You want a relationship filled with fun times, with a guy who you know will always back you up. Sure, he's a bit of a jerk with anyone who he doesn't approve of, but as long as he likes you, he'll be a lot of fun. Your days will be filled with laughter and merriment, though if you ever have kids, you'd better be prepared to lay some rules down or else they'll end up with a bunch of reckless rulebreakers running around, transforming into animals at every turn.

fiiiiiiiiine, [info]jade_sabre_301 . here's your Arty Fowl post: 

How Artemis Fowl screwed himself over and other thoughts regarding The Time Paradox:

spoilers ahead!

- For those of you as ignorant as I am, EOIN, as in EOIN COLFER, is pronounced like Owen. So don't pronounce it in a way that makes it rhyme with "coin" or "boing". Because that's bad.

- (This is going to be a looooong bullet point.) SEE I KNEW I WASN'T A FREAKY SHIPPER WHEN I WANTED HOLLY AND ARTEMIS TO END UP TOGETHER. THE KISS THE KISS THE KISS. I had to put down the book for a moment and go run around the house, giggling. I feel like Eoin (or Owen--sigh) did NOT let me down as other YA authors (coughROWLINGcoughMEYER) have done in the past, by completely LEAPING into a relationship straight away as soon as their protags hit puberty and start getting funny feelings. 

The main reason I LOVE the Artemis Fowl series, aside from the breakneck banter, is how the characters, even someone like freakin' Mulch Diggums, are fleshed out. Butler is not just a meathead, but the guy who Artemis probably depends on the most and the one that keeps him from turning into well, a demon. Foaly is not an endless snark machine. Mulch is not made of dirt and hair. The female characters are NOT just there to be The Girlfriend or The Token Female Character; they actually pretty much kick ass. HOLLY is shown to be the mature one, the one that totally saves Artemis's arrogant ass  every time he screws himself over in his elaborate schemes. HOLLY is the voice of reason. 

HOLLY would never ever just trip over her own feet clumsily and let Artemis save her from like, evil vampires. The relationship between Holly and Artemis is pretty much on equal footing right from the start. Artemis was a heartless little boy and Holly prejudiced by her opinions on the Mud Men. The reader got to see how Artemis continually improved and cared to eventually almost meet Holly's expectations of a FRIEND, not some evil Mud Man. One could see how they gained each other's respect and friendship.

I feel like Artemis, as the books goes on, is slowly but surely metamorphisizing into the type of person that is a match for Holly in terms of talent and heart. I mean, he would still be that little jackass that outsmarted his older self if it wasn't for Holly.

- Okaaay, having Holly revert to her teenage self physically in order to kiss Artemis was a cheap shot. (But not as bad as getting drunk and then kissing him.) I forgive you though, Eoin.

- Err, where the HELL is Minerva????? Her suspicious absence from the book made me worry so much about her suddenly popping up and stealing Artemis that I just kept wondering about her through the entire story. I hope Eoin left her out of this one because a) she sucks and b) his entire reader base hates her. Mostly I hope it's because c) he realizes that she is not the right one for Arty. In other words, Arty needs to ride the Hollycoptor. (ahh don't kill me!)

- Come on, Holly calls Artemis Arty! Like his mom! If that's not a basis for true love, I don't know what is. (Hello, Rowling ALWAYS talked about how similar Hermione was to Mrs. Weasley in demeanor and look what happened with her and Ron.)

- Of course, in true male fashion, Artemis COMPLETELY screws himself over. Again. This time with his mother AND Holly. I wish he hadn't lied to Holly about the Spelltrophy (sp?) because that kinda set their relationship back a bit more than I'd like ESPECIALLY AFTER THE KISS. I guess I would enjoy it all the more when they (hopefully) FINALLY get together since I don't want the catalyst for the Big Confession to be Holly's hormones or Artemis's lies. I mean, it would have definitely been too soon for them to be in this book; just the fact that Artemis did not trust Holly enough to tell the truth is excellent evidence.

- Opal Koboi... that bitch just will NOT DIE.

- I love Jayjay (why'd it get spelt like that?) and I love saying silky sifaka lemur. Artemis/Jayjay4ever!

- It kind of scares me that little!Artemis was pretty much able to outsmart older!Artemis. I don't want to think that Artemis is less brilliant of a guy for having a heart. I feel like if this is true, his next encounter with Opal, who seems to be becoming his archnemesis in a Batman/Joker way, might be too close for comfort, even for a book for kids.

- The fact that older!Artemis travelling to the past to outsmart little!Artemis is what set little!Artemis on the path to finding fairies gives me a headache. If Artemis hadn't met fairies he wouldn't have gone back in time to cause himself to meet fairies, so it's a freaking... PARADOX, dun dun dun.

- Okay, I'm getting too tired to ramble on about my love for all things Artemis/Holly and Eoin Colfer, so I'll end the list here. I srsly need to next book now plz.

the obligatory "yes-I've-actually-finished-breaking-dawn-and-stuff" list of thoughts:

SPOILERS AHEAD

- First of all, it was an okay read. Better than some romance novels I've read but certainly WAY beneath my standards for the YA genre. Certainly the quality of Stephenie Meyer's writing did not decrease, but I hope you're not interpreting this in a positive way since it wasn't too elevated to begin with. Keeping up with modest (AKA mediocre) standards is not exactly a challenge.

- I'm not really sure how I feel about Breaking Dawn. Certainly I'm not outraged since my expectations were modest at best, and it did have its entertaining moments and yes--moments of heart (though those are hidden like gems). 

- Overall, I just think that there's a huge disconnection within the book itself. For instance, as much as I love Jake and as much as his chapter titles are MADE OF WIN (SOME PEOPLE JUST DON'T GRASP THE CONCEPT OF "UNWELCOME", THE TWO THINGS AT THE VERY TOP OF MY THINGS-I-NEVER-WANT-TO-DO-LIST), what was the POINT of that? It didn't add anything to the overall smoothness of the story. In fact, it made the middle section of the book quite disjointed with the other two thirds, both of which were narrated by Bella. 

- Also, the lack of ARTISTIC INTEGRITY is amazing. It overwhelms me and disgusts me. We can all agree that we are reminded over and over (and over and over and over...) what a BIG CHOICE and how frickin' DANGEROUS and TERRIBLE becoming a vampire is. Bella constantly dreads over it. Rosalie mourns never being able to conceive. Edward thinks it's a curse. Yet once Bella becomes a vampire, all her hardships are just KAPOUSH in comparison to all that the other characters have had to suffer. She looks better, she's graceful, and guess what... she has The Most Gorgeous and Brilliant and Wonderful and Sweet and Immortal Baby Ever.

- Honestly, I feel like the moral of this story is that if you secretly despise your parents, alienate your peers, act completely helpless at every hardship, and whine a lot about being "average" and "clumsy", you will be constantly rescued by a handsome sparkly vampire that is of no danger to you because he's on the side of Good and does not drink blood, have the most beautiful The Most Gorgeous and Brilliant and Wonderful and Sweet and Immortal Baby Ever, and live happily FOREVER after.

- Also, to live happily FOREVER after with your shiny vampire husband, you have to trample over the heart of your best friend ten million times and get pissed off when he connects with your daughter.

- And RENESMEE has to be THE WORST NAME IN THE UNIVERSE. GET SOME CREATIVITY. (while the name is non-traditional, it just shows how little resolve Bella has since she just decides to MERGE THE NAMES of her mother and mother-in-law together.) I was rooting for Edward Junior.

- Alice still kicks ass. Of course.

- So does Jasper. He can scare my lawyer any day.

- Edward just does NOT have my respect at this point, though it absolutely made my day that the reason he's a musical genius and speaks many languages and all that is because he wasn't getting any at night before Bella.

- What's up with all the "keep your head in the game" mentions by the werewolves? HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL MUCH?

- I laughed my way through the sex scenes.They were not at all "dangerous" considering at any given moment, Edward could have supposedly ripped Bella's throat out. All he did was rip the pillows.

- Again: RENESMEE.

- Oh Jake.

- Overall, I'm just incredibly grateful that the Twilight Saga is over and done. For now. Or until Stephenie Meyer wants Edward and Bella to like, buy a dog and they end up defeating the Evil Overlords of Volturra and becoming the King and Queen of Vampires. Despite my, um, passionate criticisms above, I didn't really mind reading all this unnecessary junk because well, even if she sucks at everything else, Smeyer is very good at keeping you hooked. She's like a crack dealer. 

Nevertheless, the end of this saga did not have as profound an impact on me as Deathly Hallows did, though I guess I'm pretty glad fandom got me some good friends and a lot of laughs (not sure if they were good laughs though...)

- Who wants to write me some Kate/Garrett, my favorite colonial vampire?

some barely intelligible thoughts about The Dark Knight and Movies:

SPOILERS AHEAD!

- IT WAS COMPLETELY AMAZING AND SCARY AND SAD AND BRILLIANT AND WONDERFUL. Blew me away. Made like three hours of sitting in a movie theatre feel like nothing. I am reduced to cliches about how I feel about The Dark Knight, and it's only the tip of the iceberg.

- Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker was every bit as intensely detached, frightening, funny, and possibly iconic as all the critics and everyone who told me how great the movie is was. I love how this villain has a sense a humor--a GOOD sense of humor, not a cheesy/hammy kind--while still scaring the shit out of me. He was a truly scary character, a twisted scar on either sides of his lips, make-up that seems to be smeared over his face like he barely gave a damn, with only the barest hint of a clown when he cracks his scary jokes. Hell, I even have a TSHIRT of it now. (I got like 10 percent off because I had the ticket stub of the movie; don't blame me.) Seriously, it wasn't hype.

- Everyone in the Universe must have seen this movie by now, since it still completely dominates the box office for the third week in a roll.

- Must every big Hollywood movie take a detour to China now? I mean, I'm proud of my culture and all, but uh, can't you just make the Chinese character y'know, GOOD, instead of jetsetting to China for some completely irrelevant scene?

- I wonder, though, how this happened: I recall, while the turn-out for Batman Begins was pretty big, it wasn't a BEAST like this. Was it the movie-viewing public's way of biding Heath Ledger, a very respectable actor (instead of those more known for the craaazy things they do than the movies they're in), farewell? Did Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale and Co hit the jackpot when they filmed such a gripping, emotionally relevant story? Is it because well, the movie is in fact REALLY FABULOUS and it spread through the word of mouth of critics and early viewers alike? I get the feeling that it's a mixture of all three, each the cause and/or result of another, that made this movie a success in so many levels.

- Another theory: Escapism. In a time where it's really difficult to decipher what's right and wrong, doesn't every one want to spend some time in a world in which someone like the Batman is watching over them. He may not be ALL-MIGHTY like Superman or Spiderman and dwells in pretty much a cesspool of villainy, yet you can tell that he's doing the best he can while trying navigate in the direction of what he feels is right. Amidst the chaos, there is the Batman. I think the public needs the safe feeling he projects--the safe feeling pretty much all superhero movies project, which is why there were approximately TEN BILLION superhero movie trailers during the previews. The popularity of such films have been proven, and the companies are willing to sadly, exploit that, because we don't WANT to see good, but frighteningly true movies like In the Valley of Elah (which I saw last week) and like, No Country for Old Men (which I haven't, but have heard brilliant things about). They scare us too much about the present. Why watch something that is painstakingly true when you can escape into another world?

- Rachel Dawes, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, was the ONLY LEAD FEMALE CHARACTER in the film. Also, good character as she is, she is still nevertheless the GIRLFRIEND character (hell, she's the GIRLFRIEND character of BOTH LEADS), tacked on for the sake of romance. At least partially. 

- Christian Bale = Amazing. I mean, you totally knew that, right? 

- Bruce Wayne and Albert? Batman and Jim Gordon? My favorite relationships in the movie. And I'm not even slashing them.

- It broke my heart when Albert read the letter from Rachel and burned it to keep "Master Wayne" from having to know the truth. It's like he's taking on all the blame from Rachel onto himself, all the while knowing that the thing that's keeping Bruce (Christian Bale? I feel like I should use the character name) from collapsing.

- Gary Oldman as Jim Gordon: So subtle and kickass. 

- Harvey Dent was so tragic it was nearly Shakespearean. The movie said it best: the Joker took the best one out of them all and made him fall. Harvey had so little control over his fate; the death of the love of his life, his own disfigurement and disillusionment, it was all out of his control. In the end, he scared me just as much as, if not more than, the Joker ever did.

- Do I even NEED to talk about the action scenes? And Christian Bale?

- Finally, I love the duality of the Batman/Bruce Wayne and Two-Face/Harvey Dent. Their real identities and alter-egos are complete opposites, yet they share the same goals, if different ideals, and the same love, though she loved them in opposite ways. I know that the Joker and the Batman are, iconically, more of a couple, but I loved how the movie handled the entertwining stories of the White Knight (of Gotham) and the Dark Knight. 

The White Knight, which supposedly is whom the city needs, falls so far from grace that he tears down everything he once stood and fought for, yet he is remembered as the great hero that he was beforehand, while the Dark Knight, whom the city has, is in the shadows. He is never celebrated, never appauded. He is the one that takes on the true weight of Gotham, willing to stall or lose even the semblance of a life, but in the end, he is the one that carries all the sins of the other, chased away (by dogs) despite all that he has done.


Well that was really long. Um, a (hopefully) shorter list about the new Artemis Fowl book comes soon.

&; The Dark Knight looks so ridiculously good--storyline, characterization, Christian Bale and all. I can't wait to see it, but I need somebody to see it with me. Either way, I feel compelled to see this movie even if it's just to stare at Christian Bale for two-plus hours.

&; I have absolutely nothing to do until August 4th, when writing camp starts, so comment me, email me, IM me, you guys!

Author’s Note: The title comes from the Vienna Teng song “I Don’t Feel So Well”. I’m not sure how I feel about this yet. It’s definitely one of my calmer, less depressing and wordy fics and I have absolutely zero experience with either characters… Well, I tried my best.

This one is for the amazing [info]apresmoi, who introduced me to this ship.

So yesterday was the Day of Silence, and as part of my school's GSA, I of course participated in it. It was really cool, since we set up a table in the front of the school passing out notecards with an explanation about the Day of Silence for people to use and rainbow ribbon pins (they're kind of like those breast cancer ones--only rainbow-colored). Not talking through the entire day was a lot harder than I thought it'd be, since I tend to think aloud a lot...

For people who are familiar with one of my favorite movies:
Emmett: (this guy I have two classes with) Have you taken a vow of silence because of Frederick Nietzsche?
Me: (written on my special Notepad of Silence) Yes, I've decided to take a vow of silence until I get into aviator school.
Emmett: (also writing on my Notepad of Silence) I hate everyone.

Oh, and I have also signed up for [info]summerwrite . I couldn't resist.

So freakin' cool XD
