Here, read this.

I had this whole post written, involving Toy Story 3, giving away my stuffed animals, and the catchy songs in The Lorax, but I guess the Internet didn't like it because it got deleted. Fortune abounds.

Concerning Camp NaNoWriMo, I am way behind. As in, I've only written for two days. Before you shoot me, hear me out. I really do need to do the historical research before I delve into this thing. I feel guilty making things up and I'm going to pay for it in the long run if I have a deeply flawed plot. (On the bright side, I'm about to get my hands on a great reference book in a few days!) I also need to work on a short story for our literary magazine - a short story that conveniently does NOT want to happen. I might pull a rebellion and switch my Camp topic and word count goal. I must consult the forums to see if this is legal...

In other news... I saw a good friend in Meet Me in St. Louis, and I'm hooked. The girl who played Esther had the most beautiful voice. The costumes were stunning. It was just good, clean, wonderful fun! We're having our first taste of summer here, and I've officially laid under the stars for the first time this year. Finally, I quoted Shakespeare today in awesome context today. No one on my gym class wiffle ball team could agree on what qualified as a foul, and without missing a beat, I recited, "Fair is foul and foul is fair!" It. Was. Epic.

I'm afraid I must cut this post short. I have to read more of Invisible Man for AP English. I'm not even past the Introduction yet! Whoops. Until then, enjoy this new song by The Civil Wars. If anyone knows Joy or John Paul, could you get them off their hiatus and into the studio? I'm dying for a new album. Until then, I'll take what I can get.

I'm posting this before the wifi gets me.

Did I mention I'm doing Camp NaNoWriMo this April?

I will be continuing my Irish novel that I started for the 100 for 100 Challenge. I am preparing for more historical inaccuracies, creative liberties, poorly fleshed out characters, spotty dialogue, all the usual marks of a crummy first draft! But you know what? I don't care. I'm going to be too busy watching British television!

Speaking of British television, can we talk Doctor Who for a minute? Because I'm pretty sure Clara Oswin Oswald is going to be blimey brilliant.

Fantastic start to the second half of the season. The only con is that I'm not the one doing the adventuring. My family doesn't understand how much I am in love with Eleven, and I don't think they ever will. But I swear, when she asks if he's protecting her, and he gives the affirmative... I die inside. I love it when guys are protective. Being the eldest sibling, you do a lot of protecting. I wouldn't mind someone else having my back for a change.

I can't wait to see what Camp NaNo and DW have in store for me. Summer is coming way too fast, so I'm going to try and enjoy every waking moment of this April. As this year winds down, I become keenly aware of the lack of TARDIS in my life. *sigh* Until that day, I'm stuck progressing at a normal rate, always too fast or too slow. Hopefully I can hit my 20,000 April word count goal before time runs out!

On a final note...

She cried during Chapter ELEVEN? And it's written by AMELIA WILLIAMS? MOFFAT.
