Usage of the word "bomb"

Well, sorry its taken me so long to update. I've had a bomb of school work. Why am I calling it a "bomb"? Well, that is because I have gone almost this entire year with very little take home projects and the amount of homework I got these last few days. It was just "dropped" on me per say.
On the positive key, my lovely mother just bought me Pokemon Black for DS. I haven't had any time to try it out but I'm hoping this week sometime. I still haven't finished gold. And I bought a book called 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson. I'm only forty-eight pages in and I'm loving it. It relates a bit to a story I'm writing (though the storyline is completely different) so I'm getting research done.
So I started yet another story that I will probably not end up finishing knowing me but I love the characters just as much. Well, I was picking names and I wanted some very familiar ones. So I stuck 13 girl names in a hat and picked out 2, one for the main character and one for the other main characters sister. So the sister's name is Grace. Then I stuck 13 boy names in the hat and picked out Matt for the other main character. And I thought "Okay, they sound like they could go together". Then I realized yesterday that Grace is a friend of mine and her boyfriends name is Matt. I'm keeping the same but I found it pretty funny. So they did. Now there are a few incest jokes... My friend Grace also mentioned I should kill the character with the same name so the two main characters can get together. And I was like "It's Grace's fault they get together but not because she dies. Because she gets the stomach flu." She gave me a look that just said LLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMEEEEE.
Well I know this is short but I really do have to get back to work. I have a physics lab due tomorrow, a french test, history and even health questions.
TTYL, Amelia

Discovery of Metal

Hey there hot stuff!



So today in my french class, one of my friends was talking about all the types of metal (music, not the element type). Apparently, I was very wrong about how many types of metal there actually are. Did you know there is such a thing as Pirate Metal? And Viking? I have to say, I love the names. I'm also starting to get worried about my french partner, who has been missing for two days. Where are you?! Oh yeah, Mexico...

I'm in a unusual good mood today. Why? Well, 1.) I had a great dream last night, 2.) I actual got some sleep last night, and 3.) My dream had something to do with my story, so now I have an idea for an additional part, which means I'm one step close to being finished. Now if I could just dream about motivation that I need to finish....

Schools giving a lot of work right now so it might be a while before I can post. I will make a valiant(can I even use this words here?) effort to make a post no matter how short it is. I really have to go finish reading my English homework. I hope to talk later this week,

F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

So, I think I finally found a good purpose to this blog. Since I want to be a writer I think I'll blog about how my writing is going. I write everyday (in total at least 35 stories, 1 drafts finished) and I usually spend 2 weeks on research. Because the topics usually vary from British insults to Greek mythology to Canadian Chinatown to even at one point a driving route from Rhode Island to Alaska, sometimes I have difficulty finding the exact answer I'm looking for. That's where you come in. If you know the answer, leave a comment. I'll give you a virtual high-five!
So I though I should make a list of people so if I reference them, you can get an idea of who they are. And it tells you a bit more about me. First off, I live with my mom, dad, and 2 younger brothers and my 2 beagles, Kramer and Pappi, in a split level in New England, where it is very cold now. I have a few really great friends (I'm only mentioning a few now so don't get your panties in a knot if you weren't mentioned).
Sarah- She's my best friend with a creative pile driver for a mind. She's a much better artist than I ever will be and gives me some of the most useful suggestions for my writing. Don't know what I would do without her.
Jaime- Or as she likes to be known as, The Great White Shark. This girl hates bears, creating a holiday known as hallway bears awareness day. Jaime enjoys hobbies such as watching anime, stalking Christian Bale and learning multiple languages. If you're reading this Leonardo DiCaprio, call her.
Cam- One of the best guys I know. My fellow actor, co-writer, and a terrific baker (his cheesecake is amazing.) He is a great writer and I send him pieces when they needed to be edited. Interesting fact: he can recite all the words to the Princess Bride, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, A Very Potter Musical, and A Very Potter Sequel.

Well, now you know a bit more about me and maybe any future confusion is cleared. I know this was very short and I promise the next post will be longer. Have a nice day! Leave a comment!
