Creepy...

So I was messing around with makeup and decided to take some pictures with my camera phone. Despite getting a lot of good pictures there are a few that are just plain creepy... Creepy in the sense that they look sort of really anime like o_O

Basically, my camera has this sketch effect which makes your face look "drawn". Because of the way my makeup was... well... just see for yourself.






I don't know why I posted this... I just thought that I should share the photos because as creepy as it is, it's sort of cool o_O

NaNoWriMo

I talk about Sky's Content way too much. For those of you who don't know what it is, my blog posts must seem really boring. But basically this blog is about how I plan to finish it!

I've been thinking about it and I've been writing the story for too long. Since December 25, 2006 to be exact. So it is now my official goal to get it done before the end of the year. To be more specific, if it is not done by November, I will join NaNoWriMo just to get it done.

If you were around me last November, you would have known how much I desperately wanted to join in on NaNoWriMo but couldn't because of school. So I figured since this year I will be working in the month of November, I have no excuse not to do it.

(FYI NaNoWriMo stands for National Novel Writing Month in which authors everywhere try to write a 50 000 word novel in a month. Or in my case, it will be trying to finish Sky's Content in a month.)

I have come to this conclusion mainly because I've been concentrating on what happens in Sky's Content AFTER the story is actually supposed to be over. I've spent the most of the past week thinking about and all the little details that are going to happen. And although it's really fun to think about, I realize I need to move on to my other stories.

So even though it will be hectic, NaNoWriMo here I come! It's going to be awesome :)

Shikamaru Nara

I can't really explain my infatuation over him, it's sort of odd... And I say infatuation mainly because I like him A LOT for no apparent reason.

When I first started to watch Naruto about 7 years ago (it's hard to believe it's 7 years, but it is o_o) he didn't really stick out to me. He was just sort of a background character in my mind. In fact that only real thing I remember about Shikamaru from the beginning was when he was talking to pakkun...

But then Sky's Content happened and everything changed o_o

Sky's Content was sort of a random story. I had just finished my Kakashi fan fiction and wanted to write one on a less popular Naruto character. If I remember right, I had it narrowed down between Shikamaru and Kiba. I don't know why I picked Shikamaru over Kiba, but I'm glad I did. Because as I started to think up new scenarios of Shikamaru and Yuri it quickly became my favourite thing to do. It's literally like my default thought when I have nothing to think about.

Now, Shikamaru has WAY surpassed Kakashi as my favourite character. Which makes a lot of sense considering his character. I've researched his character inside and out. I either know WAY too much about him, or know NOTHING because of all the research.

Regardless though, he's still my favourite character, and I will be forever on the quest of a good looking Shikamaru plushie because of that.

Connections

Lately I've been sort of in my own world. Sort of pulling away from everyone; just being solitary. And as I'm in my own world I got to thinking about how our lives are a series of connections. Everything we do is defined on how we interact with others, the connections we make with them. Because ultimately that's what pushes us forward. Whether the connection is a best friend, or just a random person you ride the bus with, that is essentially your life.

Sort of annoying considering it's one of the only ways to measure your life. Whether the connections you have with someone are good or bad, strong or barely there, it's a connection.

For example, today I was explaining to my mom today about the War of the Currents and how Tesla and Edison basically attacked each other's characters and hurt a lot of animals/people to prove their points(i.e. Edison killing Topsy the Elephant with AC current). And if you think about it, the fact that I know about the War of the Currents is in fact a connection. Granted, it's a weak one, but it's through knowing their contributions for the world that they is still connected to all of us.

Which means for someone like me, who sort of dislikes talking to people, the world sort of really sucks...

But then who is to say this is really a bad thing? Isn't it amazing, that human beings as a species are so connected? Like think about it, you could potentially meet the most important person in your entire life tomorrow. Or you could meet your most hated enemy... But the potential of the connection is the most important thing to consider. Connections are high in number and always existent, whether we want them to be there or not.

So I guess in the end, what we decide to do with these connections is really up to us.
