Ok, so, my Aunt from out of town is visiting, and quite frankly, she's getting on my last frickin nerve. I'll be the first person to admit that I'm far from skinny, I'm not fat, I'm just average, maybe a little more considering my height. But she always feels the need to point out the girls who are thinner than me, she's always making snide remarks about how I should get more exercise and how I should eat healthier. And, not only does she feel the need to insult me to my face, she goes behind my back about it too! I heard her talking to my other Aunt about it today, she was trying to convince her to get me a frickin gym membership! Not that I'd mind one, in fact, I've always kinda wanted one. I've always wanted to shape up a little, but I've never considered myself to be obese, and lately she's just really been getting me down. She's making me feel like crap, I can't wait until she leaves.
Now college has started back up, I'm confident that I'm going to able to sort myself out. I'm going to force myself to complete the assignments even if they kill me. I don't wanna still be stuck in college when I'm 20. Luckily, I'm pretty good at English Language, it's English Literature that's the problem. The stuff we have to read and analyze is so goddamn boring it's unbelievable. But what the hell, it needs to be done.
I haven't really been upto that much lately, except for college. I'm dabbling with Photoshop again, so maybe I'll have some pretty pictures to show you by the next post. Thank god for tutorials, that's all I can say.
Oh! I got my hair cut! I now have what the professionals call a 'sweeping fringe', more commonly known as the emo fringe. Only it doesn't look emo on me at all, it just looks weird, and I always push it behind my ears cos it annoys me when it falls in my eyes.
Anyway, I think I mentioned in an earlier post that I'm taking part in the latest session of the Original Fiction Ficathon (of_ficathon). So I have around 2000 words written so far, and I'm ridiculously far behind schedule. To actually complete the challenge you only need 3000 words, but the way I've planned things out, I'm going to be about 15 000 words in before all of the challenge requirements are met. So I really need to get a move on, but I could use some help. I really need a beta reader to look over what I've written, I think it'll stop me from fussing about it being perfect and help me move on to write more if I had someone to read over what I've done and tell me whether it's ok or not.
SO IF YOU FANCY BEING MY BETA READER, LEAVE A COMMENT OR TALK TO ME ON MSN :P
Until next time.

Well, my new year so far has been excruciatingly boring. I wanted to go to a party so bad on new years eve, but guess what i was doing instead?
Those of you that guessed that i was stuck in the house, bored out of my mind and trying to find something good to read on fiction press, give yourselves a pat on the back, because you're absolutely right.
There wasn't even anything good on tv :(
I didn't actually make any new years resolutions, but i'm gonna make some now.
- First of all, i'm gonna start eating healthily. I make this resolution every year and i'm yet to stick to it for more than a week, hopefully this year i'll make it to at least a week and a half.
- Secondly, i really want to get stuck well into a story, instead of starting a new one every month and dumping the others i've been working on. So i'm challenging myself to get to 70,000 words on a story before the end of the year. This probably isn't a very difficult goal for most of you, but for me it'll be a miracle.
- Thirdly, i really need to get my act together in college. It's not even funny how bad my report was. Here, i'll tell you what it said.
English Literature: - Current performance = D
- Target grade = B/C
- Attendance = 70%
- Tutor comments = Kadie has failed to hand in almost all of the written assignments that have been set. She doesn't participate much in class debates and rarely arrives to class on time. Kadie needs to improve immensely if she expects to be entered for the exam.
English Language: - Current performance = No work handed in to be marked.
- Target grade = B/C
- Attendance = 65%
-Tutor comments = Kadie works well in class, she participates in discussions and understands most concepts well. She needs put in time out side of class, she hasn't handed in any written work at all and without written work she can not be entered for the exam. Also, attendance is becoming an issue.
Art: - Current performance = Average
- Target grade = Pass
- Attendance = 95%
- Tutor comments = Kadie has good ability - the standard of her art work is very high, there is just not enough of it.
So, there it is, the only class i'm doing even remotely good in is art, and i didn't even want to do art in the first place, typical. So yeah, guess i need to get my butt into gear if i wanna pass my exams, that is, if i even get entered for the exams.
Well, there isn't much else to say. At the moment i'm completely obsessed with the song I'll Be by Edwin Mccain, tis awesomely good. I downloaded it after reading Not For Me by tickledblue on FP and now i can't get it out of my head. The story is really sad too, had me blubbering like a baby.
Oh, also, i'm majorly pissed off because i busted one of my arrow keys :( I pulled it off like and idiot and the little plastic bits that go inside snapped. I tried melting them back together, but that didn't turn out so good. My aunt will go ballistic if she sees, i've only had my laptop for six months :P
Anyway, guess that's it for now. I'll update when something remotely exciting happens.

Pop!
Hey guys, the name's Kadie. I'm just your average 16 year old couch potato. Nothing that interesting about me. I drink, smoke and swear a helluva lot. I'm currently in my first year of college, but that probably wont get me anywhere since they're pretty much getting ready to kick me out, turns out that homework and attendance is compulsory in college, who would've thought?
I like to humor myself by calling myself an 'aspiring writer', well, that's a load of bull crap. I've never completed anything that i've started, in fact, i've never even got past the first chapter.
But hopefully that's about to change. I signed myself up for ficathon session 5 (ficathon page, check it out, tis mega cool: http://community.livejournal.com/of_fica
I'm not the best of writers, but i do enjoy it a lot. It's nice to have some kind of creative outlet. I'm one of those sappy teen romance writers that everybody seems to hate. Yeah yeah, you can stop laughing now. My only excuse is that my life is just so unromantic, that i need to get my fix somewhere. Which is why i love fictionpress so much. Lots of sappy romance stories!
Some pretty graphic stories too...not that i go looking for them specifically or anything.
Oh shut up, i'm sexually frustrated!
Aaanyway, that's it for now. I can't think of anything else to say, because i'm just a boring person. I'd talk about christmas, but my christmas was crap, so there ya go...
Hello to all the sexy chicks from MCMB! Leave me a comment if you love me (which i'm sure you do, because, you know, how could you not?)!
Buh-bye!
