Well, I guess I completely forgot about this blog. Either that, or I just didn't care. You take your pick.
I'm not that interesting of a person, so I don't even know why I'm blogging. It seems that I just feel like it.
Recently I did several things, or rather, started several things (and didn't follow through with any of them). I tried writing a book, got about four paragraphs in, and stopped out of boredom. It was going to be some epic fantasy. I did enjoy the little time I spent in creating a world and making it feel real to me. Yeah, you'd be surprised at how long four paragraphs feel when you're writing them compared to how long they actually are when you're reading them.
Hmm, I guess I'm kind of going backwards because that was the latest thing I tried. A while before that I started plans to make a flash game. It was going to be this epic game where you're a person who's family gets killed by some tyrant that lives on an island. As your being boated away to your death, a storm comes along and kills everyone but you. You end up making it ashore right near the tyrant's house and that's where the game begins. It was gonna be a sneaking type game sort of like metal gear solid. It would have rocked. To bad I never got started.
Let's see now, before that I think I tried to be some kind of genius and write a script for a play because I was pissed off that you had to ask permission to use someone else's work officially. It was going to be a one act play about a boy trying to commit suicide, but being stopped by a nearby fisherman. I got a little bit into the dialogue and realized that I didn't know a thing about how to make characters act differently or how to make them act at all. I then decided to stop for a while and ended up never getting back to it.
Did I do anything else, hmm. I must've done something. Well, while I was still in school, I did try to write a story using overly exaggerated description. It was really fun at first and I was on a roll, but then I ran straight into writer's block and couldn't think of anything. It was sad. It was one of those moments where you feel a scene should last longer when it's actually fine the way it is, but you try to make it longer and end up with a whole bunch of fluff. It just busted my brain or something. I don't know.
Before that I had school, so I was concentrating on that. Hahaha, no I wasn't. I was, to the best of my ability, trying to waste time so that I'd have to finish all of my homework at the last minute. It's really stupid, but true. I even remember spending time doing absolutely nothing but moving icons around on the desktop. It was so stupid. I can't believe I was able to get A's and B's.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing in a nutshell. How interesting my life is.
