The Absurdities of My Life… And Tuna.

I bought a domain today! =D I’m still being hosted by Daniella, so not much else has changed besides that, but it’s still super exciting! So, don’t go updating bookmarks because I’m still being hosted in the same place, I was just excited and thought that I’d mention it.

Also! If it isn’t blaringly obvious, I have a new layout for Absurd Tuna! Yay! Fun! I edited it slightly to suit my own needs, but a link to the original creator is down below and in the credits section!

So, what’s been happening these last few days? Nothing much. I’ve been feverishly looking over the thirty-pages of manuscript that I have for my book idea, fixing it back, making edits to make the story flow easier, and fixing dumb mistakes. It feels crazy to say that I have thirty pages of manuscript and the story has just gotten started. I know that there is a lot that’s going to have to be fixed, but so far its just it’s first, rocky draft. It’ll need to be fine-tuned and such once that I finish with it.

The hardest part about this is that, without giving too much away of what it is, it’s a rewrite of a story that’s already out there. Well, not really a rewrite as much as it’s a modernized version. I’m looking over the original and noting important plot points and trying to figure out how to bring it to a modern audience and still have the same feeling that the original did. I don’t know how good of a job I’m going to do, but I am trying my hardest and trying not to make too many creative liberties.

Anyway, sorry that I’ve talked about the book-in-progress for two posts now. I just hope that the interest doesn’t dwindle. I can imagine writing another 30 pages and stopping for another year with it. I don’t want that to happen.

Oh yeah! I’m also going home this weekend! Fun! I’ll get my GPS system from my parents and will get lost less.

Well, until next time!

Thanksgiving Time

Posted by Jessica on November 26, 2009 at 3:04 am in life

A lot of blogs are probably talking about Thanksgiving, and I will follow the crowd. :)

So! I’m home. The last few days have been more than fun, yesterday especially. Daniella, my friend Jessica, and I all went to Chili’s for dinner. Afterwards, we returned to my dorm room and watched the first DVD of Gundam Wing. Daniella left after that and Jessica and I continued our anime time block with the first DVD of Trinity Blood. We paused after that and just talked about our various projects that we’re doing and RPs that we’re working on and such.

We pretty much did only that until my roommate got off work around 3am, then we called it a night and went to bed. The next morning we woke up, did lunch and I hopped my car for the three-hour drive for Nashville.

I first stopped by my parents’ house to pick up the iPod I ordered. It’s a Classic, fifth generation. I still have the one that Daniella gave me back in September, but it’s going to a new home with my father as a Christmas present. I will miss what I lovingly called the ‘Dino-Pod’ and I do appreciate that Daniella gave it to me.  <3

Oh! I have another story to tell everyone! So, before we went to Chili’s yesterday, I had to go to my car, of course. Well, when I arrived, I saw that my car had been vandalized! The left sideview mirror had been completely knocked off! Not only that, the wires had been severed and the mirror was completely missing! So that three hour drive was kind of scary today. :(

Well, I wish you all a good Thanksgiving!

What are you Holiday traditions?
Is there anything you’re upset about?

What’s going on in your life that you want to mention? I’m all ears!

New Major and New Stuff

Well, I finished my story last night. For those interested in reading it, it’s located in the ‘Works’ under the listing of ‘Detachment’. :)

So there’s a big update in my life!

After getting extremely pissed off with the psychology department at my university, I formally changed English to my Primary major and Psychology is my secondary major. I just couldn’t take that every time I tried to get the Psychology department’s help with an anything that I was met with nothing. I suppose because there are just so many psychology majors…

Well, at the moment it means I’m on my way to becoming an English teacher! =)

And after that bit of excitement, I went to Daniella’s apartment to pick up a few things that I ordered and had sent there.

x33 I’m so excited! I love Hetalia! It’s my guilty pleasure since I’m kinda falling out of my anime love.

Anyway, I also drew a picture today! I started it last night and finished it today. Since the picture is a little racey, I went and ahead and put it under the cut. =)

So be warned! It’s kinda sexual with two men!
