Cori: Epic fail...seriously.

Of course, tomorrow we have to run the mile in P.E.
And so of course, while running around outside with my friends like a madwoman, I trip on the curb and land on my bad knee. Of course, it makes this sick little popping sound, and collapses every time I try to stand up onto it.
I'm dead. xD!
But OH MY GOD NANO IS IN LESS THAN TWO HOURS!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAAAAAAAAP!!!
Of course, I have almost none of my book planned out. Actually, scratch that. I have only the prologue, and a scene where the two MCs skip school together planned out. Other than that...Nothing. Nada. Zip.
I'm dead. x)

Kas: Questions... and some other stuff.

So, I just finished writing a Comp. 1 essay on the evolution of technology in the 20th and 21st centuries... which was fun. Haha. I really shouldn't have procrastinated on it though, as it was assigned on Monday, and is due tomorrow afternoon... Anyways, so i'll now be assigned another one tomorrow...

I'm liking all the action SAAWAKM is getting lately, ladies. I've missed this.

I have a few things to tell you, but first i'll answer Ashton's questions...

1)  If you were trapped on an island and could have only one CD, which one would it be??

Hmm... Probably 30 Seconds to Mars, This is War. Or Mumford and Sons, Sigh No More.

2) Which name do you prefer for a 13-year-old boy with brown hair and blue eyes -Heath or Henrie?

Heath.

3) Did you know that there are only 2 days until November 1st???

Please don't remind me. I still haven't talked to Heather, so I doubt Silver will happen unless we miraculously figure everything out tomorrow. And the other fore-mentioned new story has no plot yet, so i'm trying to fiure that out as well...

4) What are you all being for Halloween?
Nada. Haha. I have to take my little sister trick-or-treating, so no dressing up for me. She's going as a devil, though. And since im a wiz at doing costume makeup, i'll post a picture of her awesome costume tomorrow.

5) Who's your (current) celebrity crush?
Mine don't change. Haha. Tom Felton, James Mcavoy, and Jensen Ackles. However, I don't know if it's a crush per-say, but i've recently become obsessed with Ed Sheeran.


So, now onto the news about me. First, as I said above Heather and I ahve yet to discuss anything about Silver, and since tomorrow is Halloween, I'm not sure i'll be on at all durin the day. Maybe a little at night. So, maybe we can pull it all together in time for Nano, but i'm not really sure.

Also, on that point, I don;t even have a back up story yet. As i said before, The new story doesn't yet have a plot line, or really any details worked out at all... I have a rough sketch of a continent (I decided not to make it dystopian, btw,) The scattered scribbles on that sheet of paper form my comp class, and some names. Other than that, nothing. So, I may work on that a bit in school tomorrow, but i'm really busy tomorrow, so we'll see.

It doesn't help any of this that i'm right in the middle of 3 college courses, plus my high school classes, trying to pick and fill out scholarships to the schools I want to apply to, all the senior stuff my school has been putting on lately. And im trying to fit writing into that schedule, but it's very hard. But, I got a new laptop, which I don't think I told you guys, so I'm going to start bringing it with me to school and class so I can try to get some work done there...

Alright, well I think thats it for now. I need to go shower and go to sleep so that I can make it through the rest of this week. Only 7 more weeks until my christmas break though! Oh, and I decided that I'm taking next semester's college classes online, because I just don't have the time to drive 30+ minutes there an back everyday. Oh! and there's only 3 weeks until Thanksgiving Break! :D

I'm sure you'll hear from me again before wednesday, telling you whats happening with the whole Nano thing, but for now, Good night!

Nat: Some Questions & Answers

*Feel free to answer any/all of these questions. Please and thank you.*

Question 1: If you were trapped on an island and could have only one CD, which one would it be??
Answer 1: This is a hard fricking question, especially because my musical tastes change all the time. Possibly Me Vs. Gravity, Allstar Weekend, or Once More with Feeling.

Question 2: Which name do you prefer for a 13-year-old boy with brown hair and blue eyes -Heath or Henrie?
Answer 2: I'm not gonna answer this one, because I actually want your opinions.

Question 3: Did you know that there are only 2 days until November 1st???
Answer 3: AAAHH!!!

Question 4: What are you all being for Halloween?
Answer 5: I'm gonna be Peter Pan. :)

K, enough with the questions.
I'm starting to think that I'm absolutely insane for deciding to do NaNo this year. Would you like to see what my schedule looks like for November? No? I didn't think so. But it's absolutely ridiculous. I'm not counting on winning this time...

I FINALLY got Criminal Minds Season 5. It only took 3 weeks to come in to the store. So now I can go back to obsessing over how attractive Matthew Gray Gubler is. But my newest celebrity that I've been fangirling over - Logan Lerman. Mmmm..

Question 5: Who's your (current) celebrity crush?
Answer: Matthew Gray Gubler, Logan Lerman, Bo Burnham. ;)

Okay, I'm gonna go to bed now. I'll post tomorrow because I have to.

<3

Heather: Here we go again...

This month is going to be hell. You know, with NaNoWriMo and school... I'm already shunning my homework. Dang.
So, the point of this post: if you are writing something with romance, in what way do your love interests meet?
GO GO GO!
Please.
-H

Cori: Sorry I'm a day late.

Couldn't get on all day yesterday, since I was spending the time I'm usually shut up in my bedroom with my grandma and grandpa. x)
Basically, we slept over allllll weekend long. It was pretty fun, and we went to see Puss In Boots. Cute movie. Not fantastic or anything, but cute. Puss has always been my favorite Shrek character, and I liked reading the fairytale about him when I was young.
Anyhoo, I'm updating now at least, and I've got a lot to talk about. First of all, Pottermore. It had better open up soon, or I'll scream. And I'd better be a Slytherin, or I shall go into cardiac arrest. I shall commit suicide if I am either a Gryffindor or a Hufflepuff. xD! And then I'll continue on, so whatever.
Second, NaNo! I can't wait until November 1st...I'm freaking excited haha! My novel is called Skin Deep, and it's (whispers) a gay romance novel. It's about an abused kid genius--graduated from college at the age of nine--named Halo Conrad who's family curse--a demon that shares his DNA/body--is trying to take over his life. His adopted father forces him to move closer to his family's enemy, River Smith, who he quickly befriends. Their friendship begins to turn into something more after a while, and...well, I'll leave the rest to the synopsis I'll post on my page =D!
So what are you all going as for Halloween? My mom decided I can't go as Justin Bieber, so I'm just putting on the old jeans and a t-shirt and going with my friend Kelli. Ah, well...There's always next year. x)

Kamie: NaNoWriMo!

OH MY GOODNESS! NaNoWriMo is just around the corner! I CAN'T WAIT! I'm so excited, though I'm not sure how much time I'm going to be able to put into it.

So what's been going on? What about with me? I just got Kirby Dreamland for the Wii, which is awesome! :D Right now I have an RC soda right now! And mini reese's peanut butter cups which make it YUMMY! I have a whole lot of homework, but it shouldn't be too bad. I do hate IDs though... I've gotten really into NaNo again and am on some of the forums now! Mostly the Roleplaying one! I love RPing! :) I've been fighting allergies recently and they are getting highly annoying, but what can I do? I've decided what I'm going to be doing for the talent show and am pleased on how it's coming out! :D Um... Last night was my Homecoming Dance... And I'm not really into dances normally but last night was a lot of fun! The most fun I've had in a while shockingly. Yeah, so that's about it I believe... If I remember anything else I'll post again later! :D
Stay well!
-Kamiella Maze

Ned. Loving iiiiit.

I'm so excited! I think you guys picked the perfect number!

In case you're wondering the winning number was number three, and I'm gonna be super busy this week planning and writing because NANOWRIMO STARTS TUESDAY! Ugh.

Alright, so number three was "Stairs."

A story about a family that moves into a mansion and the youngest daughter who is eight named Bravery drags her older sister, Ember to explore. They find a secret world down this set of stairs.

And before you say its like Narnia its not. The secret world is like a second home. They go back and forth between the two worlds throughout half of the book. <3

Okay, I'll have more for you guys later!

Love yah, -Ned.

Heather: Cutting it Close.

Hey ladies!
So....
I'm really cutting it close here, huh?
Well, I don't have too much to say; I had a midterm today.
I'm beyond busy.
I recently started getting an idea (no worries, Silver first), and it's really fun. Think Greek. :D
That's about it.
Night!
-H

Sage: I KNOW I'M LATE

But I have a good excuse...ish. I wrote another song. Not about my life because nothing interesting ever happens in my life so yeah it's about CM..again. DON'T HATE ME.

So updates? How about Sage got asked to the semi-formal at her school by not one but TWO people. That's right girls. I'm beating them off with my vast knowledge of chemistry and biology...or am I scaring them off. Hmmm, something to ponder later today.

It's halloween weekend which is always exciting. I'm going as a 1940's inspired Little Red Riding hood. I've got the black stilettos and the red dress and the red velvet hood/cape. I'm pin curling my short hair with the 40's inspired doo and I'll post a picture next Wednesday when I ACTUALLY POST ON TIME.

I love you all. What are you guys being for halloween?!

Much love. Oh, and I may psot again to give you the link to the new song if I get around to recording it tonight, hope that's okay.

Know what, since I clearly don't have inspiration here's a challenge for all of you. I will write each of you a song INDIVIDUALLY if you comment on this with something to give me inspiration...like a story line or a like a plot line. SOMETHING.

Okay, I'm done now. I sweear.

Muah. LOVE.

Kas: Newww Schtuff.

So, first off, I would like to say that there have been 15+ posts in the last 7 days, so yeah I think this just just proves that ALL MY IDEAS ALWAYS WORK AND I'M ALWAYS RIGHT AND I SHOULD OWN THE FREAKING WORLD. Agreed?

Anyways, I'm only making this post because I'm procrastinating from 3 things.

1. A paper I have to write for my Comp. 1 class that is due on Monday. I'm sure I'll get around to it... Sunday night sounds like a pretty legit guess.

2. A paper I have to write for my U.S. History class that is due on Nov. 17th. It's more complicated though... reasearch and all that jazz, I'll probably make most of it up though, since we don't have to site it.

3. A new story. Now, no freaking out, I'm still planning on working with Heather on Silver for Nano. That is, if she ever talks to me again! :( Haha. But, I was in college on Monday, and an idea for a new story just kind of... hit me. It started off completely new, but then the pieces started fitting perfectly into the old Malkini/Shifters plotline that I had, so It's going to be a sort of twisted version of those. I wrote a few pages of notes on it (in terrible, scribbly handwriting) while I was in class, and so now i'm just sort of building on that.

I will give you a little info on it now, though.

It' a dystopian.

It has a lot of parallels to the Holocaust and Hitler.

It's set in a world where most of the technology we have now has been forgotten in the pursuit of survival, as there have been many wars and peoples piorities have shifted a lot.

There are other things i could tell you, but they pertain more to the plot and not just the book in general. And I think I want to keep those details a secret for a while, but if i get far enough tonight, i may write a blurb for you guys. If not, i'll attempt to do it tomorrow.

Anyways, I guess I should get to plotting and figuring out my details, huh?

-K

Heather: Best Night.

Last night was amazing.
And when Ned said they were better live, she wasn't kidding. At all. They are fucking amazing (excuse my language). Honestly, I don't think there's ever been a band less autotuned than Mumford & Sons, because they're fucking brilliant.
Last night just made me love them so much more, though I don't know how I could, they've been my favourite for a long time, but I do.
I can't even really describe it.
It was just so wonderful. (I feel dramatic, but I'm really impressed, and happy).
My favourite songs of the night, just to match Ned's, haha:
Awake My Soul ( definitely one of the best at my concert too).
The Cave.
Winter Winds.
And their new song, Hopeless Wanderer. I loved it so much.
THEY PLAYED SIX NEW SONGS!
I'm still reeling.

Kamie: Quick Question!

Hey all, just wanted to say that I'm glad to see so many people posting again! It looks like the day idea has worked out! Just wanted to give a quick update and I have a question even though it isn't my day!
Update: Well, my update's pretty simple actually. I'm sore, and I hate Physics with a passion. This Halloween I'm dressing up as a pirate with a big circle skirt and everything. Meanwhile I'm pitching ideas to my Junior class representatives for us Junior's senior prom. We're hoping to make it a masquerade(sp?) ball! This year they're trying to get prom as a black tie formal which would be just as fun. I'm going to my Homecoming dance this Saturday with my best friend Lilli who's practically my sister, and Friday night is the Homecoming football game where us band geeks (like myself) gets to freeze themselves to death while playing a brass instrument in the cold and wearing ridiculous band outfits.
Update on my book ideas. I've already talked about my NaNo book, so that's covered, and I'm highly excited for that! I have a new book idea about Greek mythology, which is one of my favorite mythologies to study. I'm not sure about what I exactly want it to be about but I just wanted to throw that out there. Oh, and as a side note I'm reading the Iliad by Homer for some light reading. I love Homer's books! :D
Question: Okay, so here's my question... What is OSAAWAKM? I read somebody posting about it and have no idea what it's about... if you don't mind telling me. :) Thanks!
~Kamiella Maze

Ned. Dilemma

I have a dilemma.

I have a few story ideas and I'm not sure which one I want to write for NaNoWriMo.

I was almost certain I was going to write Blue Moon, but now I have all these other ideas.

I was going to give you a synopsis of all the ideas I have but they are all EXTREMELY complex so what I'll do instead is number them and not tell you what number is which story. Than you guys choose a number and the number that wins will be the idea I write for NaNoWriMo...

1.

2.

3.

4.

Select away. Incase you are wondering, yes. I did write down which idea was which number on a piece of paper.

EDIT.

Two numbers have been nominated,

2.

3.

so basically what I'm saying is you can only vote one of these now.

lol.

Nicole: No dayyyy

Haha, so I've been away for so long that I didn't get a day! So, I decided I'd just update you guys anyway. It was pretty tough for me to decide whether or not I should do Nanowrimo this year, but I'm thinking I will give it a shot. I might quit half way through or something though because November is end of year 11, exam prep, exams and then the end of school for the yearrrr! It'll at least make me start my new idea anyway.

And it's about witches and magiccc! Pretty much an old idea of mine re-vamped. And it's gonna be kewl! I have a bit of a dilemma though... but I'll post about it on OSAAWAKMS and if anyone can help me it would be very appreciated.

I also decided to be a witch for halloween just for shits and giggles :D Are you guys in America really that into it? We're not really but my friends birthday falls on the Halloween weekend so she's having a joint costume and birthday party. It's gonna be funnn! What are you guys going as for Halloween?

Kas: Not sure I'll have time to post later.

Heyyyy, guys. So It's Wednesday, and we all know what that means... Your favorite post day, obviously! :D

I don't think I would have had time to post later today, as I have to take my sister shopping after school... So I'm doing it now. As I get ready for school.

I don't really have much to say, other than I'm extremely happy that we've had 7 posts this week! :P

Heather and I really need to get to work on Silver if we're going to attempt to finish it for NaNo. It works out pretty well, actually, as I believe we have just a little over 50,000 words left.

Uhm, I bought a new lipstick, that I'm in love with. :P It's bright pink.

and that is all...

-K

Ned. Mumford and Sons.

Mumford and Sons was actually the most amazing, most beautiful thing I've ever seen and heard. They are like ten million times better live, and trust me, I didn't think it was possible either, but they are.

So... I know its not my day, but I'm posting anyway so tough.

The lighting, was gorgeous. I'm seriously stunned.

The cinematography was AMAZING. Considering it was all live, thats pretty intense.

(In case your wondering they had a screen above the stage...)

The music... well like I said before I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't heard it myself, but they are like ten times better live. That's saying a lot considering they were ALREADY my FAVOURITE band ever.

By far my favourite songs they preformed tonight were

Winter Winds

Little Lion Man

Awake my Soul (Best song of the night.)

The Cave.

AND There were ALL THESE NEW SONGS. They were AMAZING but I can't for the life of me remember names... sorry.

So yeah. I'm speechless. (and not just because I have no voice left...)

Heather: To Fill The Blank Spot.

As far as I know, Tuesday has no post-er, which we must fix!
So, I figured I'd do it today.
NaNoWriMo is coming fast, and I'm pretty sure we're all uber excited.
I was just reading over some of last years novel, and reveling in just how horrible it really is, and just how much I love it; as in, more than almost anything.
In other news... I'M GOING TO GO SEE MUMFORD & SONS TOMORROW.
Just so you know. ;)
Well, that's pretty much all I have to say at the moment.
-H

Nat: A Little More About NaNoWriMo

See, Kas? I told you I wouldn't forget to post. And I didn't. :)

So, I have a very very very basic outline for my NaNo story that I'm planning to write (yay!). I was going to use an old story that I'd been writing for a while but then I read this. In other news, I got an email from my local NaNo ML or whatever they're called, and they told me to go outside and crunch some crunchy fall leaves. So I did.




Oh! You're wondering what my NaNo novel is about? Oh. Well, I guess I could tell you kind of a basic outline, though it doesn't have a synopsis yet.

It's about a 12 year old foster child named Katherine "Katy" Fenshaw. Basically, Katy is horribly bullied at school, she has no friends, and she hates the family she lives with. She attempts to run away, and in the process she finds a special place in the forest that she claims as her own. There, Katy can escape into her imagination. She also meets a boy there, a boy named Henrie who she quickly becomes friends with.

That's as far as I've gotten...any ideas would be welcome for making my outline better. :)

I hope my post was sufficient. ;)

Ned. Whoops.

So, I missed my day yesterday... but I am really sick, so please forgive me. lol.

Enough about that though, because no one want to hear me complain about how horrible being sick is. I'm sure you know.

Obviously NaNoWriMo is coming up, like you all already know. I'd like to take you back to when I first started SAAWAKM I was working on a story called Blue Moon. Well, that was the best thing ever and I'm writing more.

Okay, so an update on that coming up soon... Like before next Saturday. <3

Uhm... soo... yeah that's it for now.

Love yah. -Ned.

Kamie: So much to say!

Hey all! Long time no talk! As for Kassidy and Heather I do have a skype. I'll find a way to give it to you all sometime! :)

Let's see, for starters let's do a recap. It's been a while since I've posted but I've been on here watching for a while! :D I have recently started ballet again. I haven't done ballet in almost four years, so that was a wake-up call for me when I realized how unstretched I am! xD Oh well, I'll get back into it again! NaNoWriMo's almost here! Everybody should add me as a friend! Well... except Cori since we're already friends on there! xD My username's arïa_dakota_carter. Before I get into my writing ideas I'm going to talk more about what's been going on.

Because I've been doing so much, it's hard for me to make time for everything so lately I've had to drop piano lessons, so I'm learning it all on my own right now... It sucks but I have to say no to something. I'm still taking tenor saxophone lessons, and that's very fun! :) Um... as for other extracurriculars... well that includes ballet.

Okay onto my writing ideas. So for NaNo this year I'm going to be writing a fantasy/romance about Fae! I use some of my friend's idea like getting a notebook and putting all my ideas in there. I'm about 20 pages in right now, which I'm pleased about. I have decided to name it: Coraza: Fatal. I love mythologies and fantasies, so I'm pleased to be writing about a modern time outlook on faeries and be able to put my own twist on it. :) I also love making up new worlds so it's fun figuring out what Coraza's going to be like! :) I'm really excited to start writing about it, I am literally counting the days for NaNo to start! I can't believe this is going to be my second year on it! Time has flown.

Other random news includes me being able to get the iPhone 4s! I'm so excited! :D I think it'll be awesome! :D It should be here in about 3 days. :) So, how have you all been? It's been forever since I've said anything so I just wanted to see how you all were! By the way Sage, awesome song you wrote! :)

Yours truly!
-Kamie

Cori: Yup, posting when it's not yet my day.

I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NANO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, Halloween is going to be awesome this year, because I'm going as...JUSTIN BIEBER! Yes, that is right; I am going as a boy (that is, if JB even counts as a boy). I'm getting my hair cut to that length--his old haircut length, of course. I shall be wearing baggy jeans, a t-shirt and large hoodie, and a hat sideways/backwardsish on my head. I shall also be wearing bandages around my chest, borrowing them from my friend so that I can look like a guy for a night, and squish down the mountains. xD
I can't wait. And like, yeah...I'll post again on Saturday, which is of course in 20 minutes now...I'll post when I wake up. So like, yeah...Bye for now!

Heather: This Means War.

... I think the picture says it all.

-H

Kas: SKYPE!

She has no idea that I took this. :D

Heather: So...

I'M TALKING TO KAS FACE TO.. Erm computer screen?
It's exciting.
I love Skype.
In other news, I can't think of anything to say.
LALALALALALALALALALALALALALALLALALALALALALALALALLALALALALALALALALA!
We're going to start working on Silver again! (Kas and I... obviously. :) )
And it's exciting!
AND WE'RE TALKING FACE TO FACE!
So... Yeah. :D
I may post again later, as this one is pretty ... feeble.

-H

Kas: Days....

Here is the full list of who posts on what day...

I figured I'd do this while im waiting or Heather to get on Skype. How many of you have a skype?

Can you Skype with more than 1 person at a time?

Anyways...

Monday - Nat

Tuesday -

Wednesday - Kas

Thursday - Sage

Friday - Heather

Saturday - Emilie

Sunday - Kamie

So... Nicole, Maiah, and Cori. One of you can have tuesdays if you want, or you can all pick a day already taken. :P

-K

Nat: Posting when it isn't my day...

Hi girls,

I know it isn't my day to post, but it's been far too long since I've updated so I figured I should say HI!

I also want to talk about my plans for NaNoWriMo this year. For a long time, I was dead set against doing it this year because I have soooo much going on in November. But I watched a video yesterday that kind of made up my mind. The video basically said, "Even if you don't reach 50000, if you only reach 10000, that is 10000 words more than you would have written normally," and that is very true. I haven't decided which story I'm using yet, but I should probably decide, hey? I've only got 11 days left to plan...

Also - what are you all dressing up as for Halloween? Or are you dressing up? I don't know what I'm gonna be yet...Let me know what you're being, cuz I desperately need some ideas...

Alright, I'm still going to post on Monday, so I'll talk to you then!

Sage: Hiatus much?

I know I know I know. But today is my day SO HAHAHAAH.

So I would love if you first all watched this video I made this week. I know that Ashton and Emily have already seen it, but still. It's the new song I wrote....about Emily Prentiss... from Criminal Minds. I HAVE NO LIFEE. gah.

And I'm doing well in school, but I think my math teacher may want to do more than just math with me... SOS.

enjoy my pretties <3

i love and miss you all so terribly much. oh and for all those criminal minds lovers THE NEXT ONE ISN'T UNTIL NOVEMBER 2ND. excuse me while I go cry in the corner.

SENDING LOVE AND HAPPINESS :):):):):):

xx Sagie

Kas: Ladies...

This is ridiculous.

Our posts are getting farther and farther apart.

If we don't get to posting, SAAWAKM isn't going to get any better.

Therefore, I have a new idea.

So, we've tried getting everyone to post updates, or just everyone changing SAAWAKM to their homepage and lots of other ways to get us all posting, but nothing has worked so far.

So... I think we should try assigning days for everyone, kind of like we tried with the YouTube?

Basically, everyone has a day of the week, a few days i'm sure will have more than one person, since there are 9 of us and only 7 days of the week.

Each person must update on their day, which is why we will all be able to pick our day. That way you can pick the day you will most likely have time to post. If someone has already chosen the day you wanted, you can still choose it as well, everyone could post on Thurs. for all I care, as long as there is at least 1 post a week from everyone.

It's also okay to post on a day other than the day you pick, but you need to post once a week. No ones weeks go exactly as planned, so if you have to post on Thurs. instead of Friday, it's fine.

These posts can be just updates, or writing-centered. Or anything else, really.

I really want to hear all your plans for NaNo this year. :P

So... I, obviously, pick Wednesday. Comment on this post with whatever day you choose, and we'll start with the posts immediately, so if you pick Wednesday, you post today. :D

-K

Nicole: Insecurities

After reading about how busy everybody's been I feel kind of guilty for not posting! I've used had two weeks holidays, and I have been working a whole bunch, I've still had a lot of time off. I'm just drained and I guess that's my excuse.

Another thing I've really been struggling with lately are my insecurities. You guys might already know this, but I'm short... like really short. And it sucks being the shortest girl in my year level. For some reason lately it's really been bothering me more than usual.

I've realised that while I pretend it doesn't bother me and like I've gotten used to it, it really affects (effects?) me a lot more than what I'd like to admit. A lot of people make comments about it too, like it's the only thing that defines me. It's really hard too with boys because it makes me look so much younger than I am, and some people just can't look passed it.

I'm disappointed in myself too because I wish that I could just accept it and not care, but I don't know how. I also feel like I should love myself for how I am, and I want to, but I just don't know where to start. I don't really know what to do anymore. Does anybody have any advice?

Cori: NANO'S COMING UP!

AAAAAAAAAH! NaNoWriMo will be here in 26 days!!!!!!!!!! I need to finish planning it out, as well as making my characters!! Dx!
Anyway, Hannah--the girl who had a seizure yesterday--is okay, and was back at school today but not allowed to anything that would exert her. She says she "feels like she was eaten, puked up, eaten again, and then shit out." Basically, she feels like crud. xD

Cori: High school is crazy...

...and I really hate math class. I have a problem with reading numbers backward, thinking that 2's are S's, and S's are 5's, and 8's are 0's, and 9's are 6's...Somebody kill me.
Anyway, sorry I haven't been updating lately. There's really no excuse for it, is there?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY OLDER BROTHER!! He's 17 today...It's crazy; I still remember him as a 10-year-old...O.o
Um, let's see here, what else...Oh, yeah. I'm loving French class, and today my friend got sent to the hospital. More on that:
We were running the mile today, and Hannah got a time of 7.30 something. She wanted to try it again, to get a better time; my friend Savannah went with her during it. About 3/4 of the way through, Hannah's face started to go really pale all of a sudden, but when Vannah asked her if she wanted to stop, she just ran harder. She seemed fine, really...But then we went to our locker room, and she collapsed in the middle of the floor and started to shake and twitch violently.
Of course, we all freaked out for a few seconds, but then grabbed our binders and notebooks and started to fan her off and put damp paper towels all over here to cool her down, because at first it looked like she just overheated. One of us went to get the teacher, who got her water and apple juice and tried to get her to drink. After a while, though, Hannah started choking on it and starting having a severe seizure.
The gym teacher called the nurse, who brought down a wheel chair so they could get her to a cooler place--we didn't know she was having a seizure yet, since all she did was start to shake a bit more--and Hannah collapsed on the way over to it, so we had to carry her. Then the gym teacher ordered us to go to lunch. About 10 minutes into lunch, the paramedics came with a stretcher, put a blanket filled with ice over her and a breathing mask, and took her to the hospital. You could hear her bawling her eyes out from under the blanket.
Turns out that she hadn't eaten the night before, or that morning, which might have been part of it...I dunno.
I really hope she's okay...

Kamie: Real quick.

This is a real quick update. Hopefully tomorrow, I won't be as busy and I'll be able to catch up on what I've been doing. This week's been extremely hectic, and so far not the best. I'm hoping to fix that as is my mom. School has been killer, along with everything else... one person can only handle so much.

In truth I really shouldn't be updating now, but since I promised, here it is. I'll add more tomorrow, like I said.

(By the way I'm going to start going by my pen name if that's alright with all of you.)

Nat: so...much...stress...

Hello ladies! Long time, no see.

As Kas suggested, this is an update post on what I've been doing for the last little while.

Personal Stuff - My mom and stepdad got married last Saturday. The pictures are on Facebook, some of you may have seen them. I was the maid of honour, and the whole day was just really beautiful. ;)

Schoolwork: I have a Math 30 test, a Bio 30 test, and an English essay to write tomorrow.

Theatre Stuff: My whole life consists of theatre/drama-related things this year. Here, have a list:

1. The Velveteen Rabbit - My school is putting on this production at the end of November. I am assistant directing, assistant set designing, and acting in the show. My set design blueprints are also due tomorrow, and scale drawings are due Thursday...Yikes. I'm going to be playing Timothy the Lion in the show! XD




2. I Never Saw Another Butterfly - My school got invited to perform in the Scotland Fringe Festival next summer, so I auditioned and I made it in. So, I'm travelling to SCOTLAND! I am soooo excited!




3. Theatre Club - I get to see 6 professional theatre shows this year. The next show we're going to is Rocky Horror!!

Hooray for Drama!

Recent Obsessions: Criminal Minds (mostly just Matthew Gray Gubler); Disney music; my new white iPhone; peppermint tea.

So that's my life right now. :)
I miss you ladies, post more!

Heather: The australopithicus, and other human species',

Are currently taking over my life.

No ifs ands or buts. Ancient history is out to get me.

Speaking of subjects out to get me, so is math. But math can go die in a hole somewhere where no one will ever find its body. Because math is mean.

And, yeah. I check SAAWAKM at least five times for every hour I'm on the computer. It's sad when no one says anything.

-H

EDIT - I'm feeling proud:

Kas: Should really be working on her college homework that is due tomorrow.

So... Where. Is. Everyone.

I know you all check SAAWAKM everyday, or every other day. I had a mini-heart attack when I realized it's been more than a week since someone posted on here... I do believe that's a record. Not a good record, either. So, we all really need to make an effort to post more... there are nine of us. Which means we should at least have a few posts a week.

So, from now on, I think that if you check SAAWAKM, you should also post. I don't even care if it's about writing anymore, just tell us about your day, or your week, whatever. Just POST.

If we don't get back into the groove of things, I'm scared our periods of not posting are just going to get longer and longer. So.. POST! :D

Anyways, so whats been happening with me?

Well, I've been really busy with school and college... Actually, I have a paper due in my Comp. 1 class tomorrow, which is what I should be doing right now. But, oh well. It can wait.

High School has become extremely boring, as my Senior schedule is very easy... Teacher's aid, Mentoring (Which I usually skip with one of my friends and go get breakfast), College Algebra (Which isn't really very hard at all, there's just a lot of work.), and Chorus (Which is just a complete blow off class that I only took because it was the only elective i hadn't taken that didn't require me to do any actual work.) So, yeah, very boring,

My college classes are also pretty easy. But I'm still fighting with my procrastination problem... this post is a perfect example.

I've been going on a lot of College Tours lately, trying to decide which college to go to next year. I have decided that I'm going to do a double major in Biological Anthropology and English with a focus in Creative Writing. I think I'm leaning more towards OU (The University of Oklahoma) Just because it's the best college in OK, and it's close enough to my family that I won't miss them too terribly much and I can just drive down to see them whenever.

As for writing, Heather and I really just haven't been on long enough at the same time to get anything done. But, I do want to change that.

Something you guys didn't know about me? I have to plan out my weeks beforehand, or else I go crazy and freak out thinking that I'm forgetting to do something important. I literally plan out what I'll be doing, at what time and what time i'll be finished, every single day of the week.

So, on my schedule, I've left everyday this week (excluding Mon. and Thurs. as I'll be on college tours) after 5 o'clock for writing. So, Heather, try to be on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday at 6 your time and I should be on as well. Oh, and I have almost all day Saturday. :P We really need to finish writing this novel!

Anyways, I don't think there is anything else to tell you guys... BUT! Whenever your read this, I expect all of you to go and write an update post for yourself. It doesn't need to be as long as this one, or it can be longer if you want, but I want to know what you guys are up to! :P
