New Blogs

So, I've upgraded to two new blogs, and I will no longer be on here. Check my other blogs that are on my profile: Life As An Adult, and Morgan & Closet. Life as an adult is my equivalent to this blog, and Morgan & Closet is my fashion blog. Check them out if you like this one at all, or if you want some fashion inspiration :]

I also have a tumblr- mrhodimer.tumblr.com

New Book... still no title

So the other day I was hanging out with my friend Leah Andres who I haven't seen in forever. We're both writers and so of course eventually our conversation went that direction. We have always talked about writing a story together, and finally that day we forced ourselves to sit down and think of something. It took us a little while, figuring out a setting and genre etc. Then we had to create a background story for everyone and everything and next thing you know it's dinner time. I'm really excited for it though. It'll be fantasy, something really cool and different. I can't say much more than that because I don't want the idea to be stolen, but yeah.

We've already started working on it, and I've got to say, it's way easier to get through writer's block when there are two writers working on the same project. If I'm not sure where to go next, we discuss what the best possibilities would be, and whichever one we both like the best is where it goes. Better than me sitting on it for days on end, brainstorming until my mind goes numb. Anyways, I'm going to get to it!

New Hair cut!!

Sooooo I don't know if it was a subconscious need for a drastic positive change in my life, or if I was just sick of my boring long hair that everyone has, but i got a huge chop! I personally think it signifies my acceptance that I need to become a whole new me in order to survive becoming an adult. I can still keep my personality, but I do need to change some bad habits of laziness, selfishness and other qualities that keep me a teenageer instead of the adult I'm supposed to be. Anywho check it out:

Pontificating...

What to be, what to be, what to be? I am and always will be a writer. I am and always will be Morgan Ashley, but my last name may change. I am and always will be a girl... not really into the whole sex change thing for myself. I am and always will be
a sister and a daughter and a granddaughter and a niece and a cousin. I am in love and feel I always will be.

When I go to my kid's friend's birthday parties and the fellow parents ask me what I do for a living... what will I say? I hope I say something that I can be proud of. I hope I say something that I want to be, not necessarily need to be just for the money. That's just a dream though, because it sounds so romantic to have your dream job, but in the end you can't live the life you want without having money.

I'm almost done with my book! I hope it takes me places. I can't wait to read the whole thing when it's done. Sure, I'll edit as I go a few hundred more times, but it will be nice to know the plot-line is filled in.

My classes that I am taking are intro to ethics, italian 101, and critical reasoning & writing (which is my equivalent of an English class). I hope that college isn't a waste of money and that doing all of these "requirements" will allow me to live a happy and successful future in my own terms.

I always dreamed of living in an apartment in an eclectic town, going to eat at cool unknown restaurants and traveling to Europe and Japan. I already eat at cool places. Now all I need to do is move out. Eventually then I can save money to travel, and best of all, Michael will be right there with me through it all. :]

Stupid !#@$ing college registration

So the only classes that I am FOR SURE registered for are Italian 101 and Intro to Ethics. All of my level of English classes are closed, along with all of my math classes. I am however number two on the waitlist for my English class, but it's at 9 in the morning on a Saturday. :/

I'm not sure how, but somehow they need to let Freshmen have a for sure chance of taking their basic skill classes. I mean if they're going to give us a required amount of credits in certain required classes in order to transfer, then they should at least allow us a chance to get the classes. Or at least let us get the classes done in two years. It's all just a ploy to make us stay at the community college longer and spend more money there on classes and renewing our parking permits.

I better at least get into my English class or I'm going to be pissed. UGH

College & the Future

So, I'm going to start my first day of college August 16th. I register this wednesday and I've already chosen my classes and their backups:

Monday and Wednesday I will have English - Critical Reasoning and Writing from 9-10:20, then Intermediate Algebra from 2-3:50

Tuesday and Thursday I will have Anthropology of witchcraft and religion from 10:30-11:50 (That's my fun class :]) and I will have elementary french at 1:30-3:50

That's what I want to be my schedule but my backups are still english and math just they would switch times and days. If I can't get that Anthropology class then I'm going to take econ and if I can't get French then I'm taking Italian.

I'm seriously praying I get the classes I want though because I looked up the teachers on ratemyprofessors.com and those were the ones with the best ratings. I worked my whole schedule (even my back up classes) on how good the teachers were. One thing's for sure, if you take a class, no matter how cool and interesting, a teacher can totally ruin it.

I still don't know what major I want to take though. :/ There are so many different paths that I want to take... There's my creative writing, which even if I don't pursue that as the paying job, that'll definitely be at least on the side. There's photography which is just as little pay as creative writing, along with the whole journalism idea. I'm kinda looking into history, but there's only so many things in history that I find interesting. I do love the idea of being a fashion stylist, but I feel like I would be eaten alive in that industry. I am so right-brained, and everything I love is in the creative fields, but I need a job that pays. It's like a horrible conundrum. A job that I love that pays well. Even really a job at all would be nice. The last one I was in didn't work out, and I'm looking but there really isn't anything out there that fits my expertise... which I have little of. I even tried Mcdonalds!

Well I'm crossing my fingers that something will help me find what I want... and what I can get.

DUH-lete

I deleted my facebook today! I feel extremely accomplished, because it seemed like all the forces were working against me in my plan to not waste my time stalking people I barely know. Even the site itself tried to guilt trip me on the way out the door. If you've never de-activated your facebook before, at the top of the page are pictures of friends that you are very close with, or have talked to a lot on FB (I guess facebook stalks me, while I unintentionally stalk other people). Underneath the pictures of these people are their names with the words "will miss you!"

I had to keep reminding myself that I have all those people's phone numbers and I proceeded down the bottom of the page to click the DE-ACTIVATE button :]. It again told me some bullcrap about having to delete some application that apparently I'm the only owner of... that i've never heard of... so I did it. And finally I DUH-LETE-ED IT!!!! (delete... just proving i do know how to spell it lol).

Now I'm going to work on more important things like actually returning to writing my little philosophical blog entries and my novel. I have 190 pages so far! And I'm on the climax?? or that area anyways. I've always found that the climax was a subjective thing. I also can fiddle with my new graduation gifts: macbook pro, HP photosmart print/scan/copy printer, and camera!! (I haven't gotten the camera yet so I don't know what it's called, but I'll post that once I get it.)

Anyways, advice for all of you! If you feel like every time you're on Facebook you are on some friend of a friend's cousin's girlfriend's page looking at the trashy dress she wore to prom, I recommend you reconsider facebook altogether. Think of all the better and more productive things you could be doing instead while on the computer! It's hard, but just, you know, consider it. Unless you have no other way of keeping in contact with some far off relative or relationship partner, or something like that... just think about it.

I'm going to go do something productive! BYE :]
