Twenty Years.

Length: 8 pages
Sources: 5
Necessary time: 8 hours.

-Begin by taking books out of the library two weeks before the due date.
-Let them sit in the open throughout your house for 1 week and 6 days before the due date. This way your environment absorbs the knowledge contained within these pages.
-Plan to wake up at 9 a.m. the day before the due date to begin the writing process.
-Sleep in until 10:30 a.m. to treat yourself. Who were you kidding anyway?
-Shower. Do not begin writing while you are unwashed. Your mood and your paper will match your face.
-Write the introductory paragraph as well as the second paragraph.
-At this point you should have a slight idea of where you wish to go with your paper.
-Eat lunch. Be sure to prepare and eat the lunch in an area other than your work station. Mixing writing with food? Why would you do that to food. Give it the time and attention it deserves. (Especially if there is cheese involved.)
-Write your third and forth paragraph. You should have about two pages at this point.
-Do something distracting for two hours. In my case this is go to class but make sure not to do any note taking. It will disrupt your flow.
-Return home and make a delicious afternoon supper.
-Accomplish more writing, resulting at about 5 pages. It will come to you as you go. Your paper will be much less choppy and show a consistent flow of ideas this way.
-Be sure to find sources and quotations as you go, no planning ahead. This way you find a quotation that matchs your thought exactly.
-Be inspired for your next sit down by information you found on the page next to your last source. This is golden material. Who's fretting now? Not you.
-Invite a friend over.
-Go to the local pub for a jug.
-Return home.
-Write a sentence.
-Watch your friends favorite television show.
-Do some dishes.
-Write three more pages, including a reference page. But don't worry, you already wrote down your references as you used them. It's only a matter of organizing alphabetically now. 
-Yyou're done.

And I am oh so happy!
I have mad shape.

I've been missing my daily dose of inspiration. I know it's there, the world is an endless supply of inspiration! And I truly believe this. I think my brain has just been too cluttered and preoccupied with mindless thoughts and details about how much money is in my bank account, where I will be this summer, how worn my shoes are, and how much mocha paste to mix into the ultra cake batter. Is it 100g to every 500g? I can't say. I don't care to be a baker.

Solution?

I am self-prescribing one camera around my neck and 16+ shutter releases to be taken daily between meals with a glass of water.

And maybe a new shirt.

With a little snipper-oo and a swich of direction I am finally able to hide the mohawk and let it grow. Woot!

I'm home from school today. This is due to the reason that I have recently dropped my German class. It's a disappointment to all, I know, but I froze dead in my tracks when I heard that the mid-term, which is currently taking place, required me to write a 60 word paragraph. I am far from combining sentences outside of "My name is Alysha. I am a student. I was born in Canada. I have a kitchen where I cook and a bedroom with a bed and lamp in it. What is your name?" I'm actually quite sad about it, I do feel I had a decent progress and would have liked to make it to the end but writing without my trusty textbook at my side frightens me so. Farewell, Deutsch. I wish we could have been better friends.

I realized that I never did give a review for the Mother Mother show that we attended. It was flippin' sweet. I've seen them every year for the past three now, since their start, really, and I've had great fun each time. However I was a little taken back [ok, alot taken back] by the replacement of two members. Where is the girl with attitude? She had a killer voice and rocked the stage harder than this new little addition ever could. I mean the new little one can sing too, but it's not the same. As for the drummer, I hardly noticed. But still, what happened? I searched their webpage, which has a completely new layout, and the details are nowhere to be found. Is it due to a falling out? Illness? Bitch fight? Love affair? Kidnapping? Abduction? The lead man deffinately did his part though. He was fantastic with his new extended guitar solos and white belt. For those who have never seen them I highly recommend it. Go on.

Today I became fiction.


This shoot was a blast. Chris and I spent a couple of hours down at Beacon Hill Park with a basket full of props recreating scenes from children's stories. I'm much happier with these than my attempts at photo manipulation. We also did: The Frog Prince, Little Miss Muffet, and Snow White. You can see them on Flickr if you'd like! 

Today we are going to drink beer, eat pizza, see Mother Mother and possibly end up at a gay bar! It's a good day.

How do we feel about this?


Slightly believable? Not at all? You decide.

I purchased a new pen the other day for writing letters. Little did I know it would find it's way into my pencil case and take over all three of my notebooks.

In today's class while learning about the Doukhobour community I started thinking about what Vegetarian Zombies would be like. Here is my interpretation:



I'm thinking about turning it into a comic.

What has surprised you the most about me (if anything) since joining my flist/"friending me"?

Was anything completely unexpected or have I always fit the
picture of me you have in your head?

I am buried deep in the jaws of procrastination.

Edit:
Two letters from two friends could not have arrived though my mail slot at a better time.
Now I have someone/something to blame for taking 45 minutes to write 300 words.
