so. i haven't really written a journal since the summer. i've entered high school - the first week was rough, but it's gotten smoother now. if i could go to the high school where most of my friends to go now, or the one i go to know, i would honestly choose to stay here and not leave.

and. i've been thinking a lot - of how i think too much and analyse everything i see.

and i've also realised that, out of the friends i've had before i moved and before i moved to high school, i've only really kept in touch and stayed friends with one of them.

that. should say a lot about me. but since i'm not charismatic and outgoing and talkative i suppose i should've expected it. it's just - a little depressing, i suppose.

i'm also trying out NaNoWriMo again this year. doing prose, multi-chap. stories, but i'm behind and i can only have one story unless i'm doing a series of short stories. i think i should've done a series of one-shots. that'd be a lot easier. *sigh*

oh, and anyone who hasn't read My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult - it's an amazing, amazing book. i just love it to death.

i'll also omit my anime rant here because i don't think anyone wants to hear it.

and. i'm mostly going to post drabbles and one-shots from now on, because poetry was supposed to be a spontaneous random thing to try out and it turned into that and i will try it again soon, if i get the chance to.

oh, and one hundred truths about me. [yes, i was bored.]
