I can't think of titles today

I've been ignoring the blog for a few days here, so I apologize for that. I have been trying to think of something interesting to write to you about, but there's really nothing that comes to mind. Until today.

Today, I managed to single-handedly total my family's Caravan. I don't know what happened, all I know is no one's yelling at me like they should be. I'm not sure whether I'm grateful for that or disappointed by that.

Other than that I may have made a breakthrough in the Klashiva world. I've been watching an unprecedented amount of anime lately since I discovered a web database of English-dubbed anime. I started watching one called Durarara which my friend tried to get me to watch a year ago, but I couldn't get into it, mostly because of the sheer amount of reading involved in watching subbed anime. TLDR; I finally got into it and I actually managed to come up with a cast of main protagonists for the story. I'm figuring a team of 5 people working as a small faction of an underground society in some kind of centrally planned government. It sounds a little bit cliché to me so far, but I'm now working on trying to make it a little bit more interesting than that. It'll be a while still until I can actually start writing this thing but as it stands I won't begin working until October and I'm off school until September, so I'll have plenty of time over the next few months to do that.

That's all I have for you right now, I'll try to keep up with the posts from now on, since I don't have school or anything to distract me from writing.

I hope everyone is having a good week, and after what I've been through today please stay safe!
Tschüs,

P.S. Downloading the Call of Duty Black Ops Annihilation Map Pack as I type, it's going to be a good evening!

Stunned

Hey guys,

I'm completely stunned right now. I posted a story to Figment the other day after I wrote it for my English class and it turns out I got a handpicked fig. I am absolutely stunned, there's no other word for it. I'm honoured as well, to have been chosen. I only spent an hour on that 840 word story during class and I got picked... It wasn't a stellar piece of work but for a 1 hour time limit under exam conditions it was formidable.

I'm driven to write now, I really want to figure out the story I was planning for Figment now. I'm just pumped up! I'm excited and completely frazzled in the head. I don't know what to say, honestly. I just want to go write and figure out my next story.

Thank you to anyone who reads this and to anyone who reads my story. The support is truly appreciated!

Yours,
~Alexandra

So...

I graduated today. I'm not sure how I feel about that... I'm sure I'll figure out feelings tomorrow since it's the last day of classes. I'm not really sure what to say just now, I'm kind of in awe. I'm looking forward to the coming school year, my first year of University, where I'll be studying what I actually want to study.

I'll write more when I figure out what to say, I just wanted to let you know :)

Something Interesting?

Hello all,

After the monster that was my last post I feel kind of silly having nothing to say today in the way of writing. All I did today was plow through half a book, do two henna tattoos on some friends, made a sh*t ton of beignets and watched Disney's Robin Hood.

The book I'm reading is called The Boy Who Dared. It's about a young man who was in the Hitler Youth who appears to have exercised dissent against the government. I haven't gotten to that part yet, though. It's all one long chapter but it's a mix of this guy while he's on death row and when he's younger going through the rise of Hitler. I'm very proud of myself, every political term that's come up so far I know. Lebensraum, the Reichstag fire... I've spent the last year memorizing these things and it's nice to see that I actually learned something from my time in social studies.

Other than that, I have nothing to report. I've found that I have a lot of ideas in my head that I need to get to writing down so I don't lose any ideas while I work on writing only a few of them.

I hope everyone's June has been going well so far!
