Winter Holiday = Freedom from School

Ah winter, my favorite season, the time when the warm blankets get broken out of the closet and the fire place is lit. Days where lazing about is common place and no one wants to leave the nice comfort of warmth. Course, it's also a great time for me to work on all the ideas that have been running around my head, art and writing alike.

At the moment I am working on several stories, two of which I am co-authoring, "Dark Rising" and "Triad of Blood" both are HP fanfiction. I have several ideas for my next art project, one of which is holiday themed.

I hop everyone has an enjoyable holiday, whatever they celebrate this season for.

Ah, winter, how I love thee...

Especially when it makes everyone around me have a cold and makes it really hard not to be sick...

Yes, I have a cold, which is not fun.

I would like to draw and write, but my head's all fuzzy and stuffed up. Plus the medicine I take likes to knock me out for hours at a time.

I despise being sick.

In other news...

Since I've been laid up sick I have a lot of ideas running through my head that will eventually get typed out/written down. I have been working on my stories off and on so I should (eventually) be able to update them.

"Twilight" was a good movie, it followed the book surprisingly well, now I just hope they do the other three books.

My drawing has been pretty slow lately, I've not had any inspiration besides that of the one for TwistedHilarity's "The Last Pure Human" (which is at my deviantart account), I would like to work on one that I had the outline for, but I can't find it. :(

On a happier note--this semester is nearing its end!!! After my finals week I'll have a lot of time on my hands to write, draw, and finish whatever else is left of my games before the Spring Semester starts up.

Math Sucks...

Really it does, I had a test today, and I know how to do all the formulas and what not, it's just the whole figuring out which formula my professor wants me to use in the stupid problem that gets me. Of course, it doesn't help that he didn't actually cover some of the equations in class either.

I'm a good student, really I am, I like getting those nice shiny A's (or whatever a high grade is) on my work, but right now I'd be happy to just pass this damn class.

*sigh*

It doesn't really matter, though, if I have to I'll retake the class (but with a different prof.)

Happy Halloween!

Trick or Treat!

Yet another holiday comes and goes, without many people knowing exactly what it's about. I love how most of the holiday's celebrated have some basis in old pagan religions, especially the christian holidays.

But that's not the point here.

The point is that whatever way Halloween is celebrated (or not) is safe and that all participants are happy.

Ah, the joy of school...

School.

The word brings up thoughts of sitting for hours in an uncomfortable chair and listening as some professor yaps on and on about what ever subject they teach. Well, that and the tests, lots and lots of insignificant tests that are supposed to gauge your knowledge on a subject.

I hate tests, at least the in class ones.

Really, can I have more tests in one week, especially ones with math!? Oh well, that's what I get for being an engineering student and all.

I'll be glad come December, no more tests then (at least until the spring).

I guess I should study some more now, apparently I still have one test to go this week.

Hello!

Ah, the blogging beggins...

I guess I should introduce myself.

Well, I'm Shattered Diamond, or SD for short. I'm a female, with nothing better to do at the moment than read fanfiction/fiction and surf the internet. I enjoy yaoi, anime, and cooking, though I won't be becoming a chef (cause I cook for me, not others).

I have been a fanfiction writter for a while now, though I guess I should update more often, if I could only get past those damn chapters that are the "lull" in the plot before the exciting stuff happens. The worst thing is that I seem to only be able to write things of epic proportions, chock full of history, mythology, and various other things (which is why also why things don't get updated). I am in the process of writting an original story (shock! gasp!), but with the way it's going right now, I don't know if it'll ever get posted. For my fics (of which I haven't updated in a while, shame on me) head here: http://www.fanfiction.net/~shattereddiamond

I am also an artist (well, I really just attempt to draw the things in my head) some of my pictures have been better than others, but seeing as how I have only taken classes to learn how to draw a straight line and maybe every now and then a curve, I think they're pretty good. I've got a long way to go if I wanted to be known for the artwork (which I don't, it's only a hobby). If you want to see my stuff head over here: http://shattereddiamond.deviantart.com/

Well, I guess I shall be going now, so many things to read, not enough hours in the night to read them.
