20251's Journal

Well, I decided to go ahead and change "Cliche Nerd" to "Life's Tough When You're a Circus Freak". I thought it suited the story better. And just to be clear, the story is EXACTLY the same, I just edited the title.

And here's the full introduction that I wrote for chapter 4 (because when quizilla says "brief intro", they mean it!).

......

Hello wonderful people who haven’t lost faith in me. I did not want to write a huge introduction to this but it’s been awhile and I have a few things I need to say.

First of all, one of my best quizilla buddies and favorite writers, open.your.eyes, has returned to quizilla with a wonderful new Harry/Ginny story. Please, do yourself a huge favor and go check it out! I’m so excited she’s back.

Second of all, I finally, FINALLY finished the 4th chapter. About 2 weeks ago, I found out I had deleted my first draft of the story and I seriously considered scrapping the whole project because I was so mad. I also contemplated just photoshopping my head onto a photo of Sarah Palin and posting that, but I got over it and decided to re-write the chapter. I really love writing this story and I’ve made it one my goals to finish it. I also read this great quote, which I want to post at some point, about how writer’s block is just fear and it was all inspiring and stuff and kind of mean, which is what lazy people like myself need and anyway, it motivated me to finish this chapter up.

And lastly, I just want to put in a little disclaimer. There is swearing in this chapter. I tried to refrain, I tried to substitute, but there were some parts I wanted to crudely embellish (I really, really wanted to). Also, the first few references are from HP, so google it if you’re confused! I can’t refrain from referencing things. It’s too hard.

Anyway, thanks for sticking with me (she says as a tumbleweed rolls by in the vacant lot formerly known as her story). Enjoy :)

Well, not that there are hoards of readers anymore, since I did take a particularly long leave of absence, but I'm finally posting the 4th chapter of Documents! I included a brief, well, okay, LONG introduction in it, but it offers a bit of an explanation as to my absence and my prolonged spell of writer's block and my vow to try and overcome it :) I don't know how quizilla is behaving for the rest of you, but it's been an absolute pain in the ass for me. Since I switched to a Mac, I've been having sporadic malfunctions and bad server requests, which have kept me off the Q for days at a time.I found a computer to use temporarily for uploading purposes, but I'd really like a cooperative quizilla. And my homepage back! Where ever did that go?

Oh, I've also been contemplating a name change for Documents. It was sort of an after thought and now I'm reconsidering it. Any ideas? Feel free to send them my way!

Hope all is well with you, dear readers!

xoxo Steph

Wow, I totally and COMPLETELY lied in my last post. I absolutely did not update once. However, I have a legitimate excuse. It's been really challenging to get back in that writing groove. it requires a lot of time and energy and recently, as in the past year or so, I just haven't had excessive amounts of those two things. I do want to write, though. And at some point, I will. I just need some time. Time to mull over the stories and the characters and what direction I plan to steer them in. In the mean time, I'll be around. Feel free to message me or check out my website :)

Oh and p.s. - I discovered this great new time suck. Gossip Girl Season 1. Mindless entertainment. Very fun.

I wanted to see Adventureland today, but getting out of bed and taking a bus to the theater was far too much of an inconvenience for me. So now I'm sitting here, ranting to you, dear reader. Since I have nothing else of importance to mention in this diary entry, I suppose I'll talk about "Documents". I haven't updated in awhile and yes, I'm a horrible excuse for a Quizillian and I'm mean because I get really sweet messages from amazing people who support me and my stories, but I AM working on an update. I started it around Christmastime (see how much progress I've made?) and it's about halfway complete. Seriously, I have a draft! I just need the motivation/time to finish it up and if I have a few open nights this week (or just a few hours because a few nights is highly unlikely with my evil major) I can get it done and post it. Goody! Well, I hope you are all having a fantastic April so far and are catching up on sleep this weekend and refining your vocabulary by reading loads of fine literature :)

Question. What is Quizilla's definition of "soon"? My definition of soon is a week or a month or heck, even a couple of months, but Quizilla's seems to be years, eons, decades. When can I delete all the garbage in my journal? When will I get to see my homepage again?

I'm tired, overwhelmed, and sleep deprived. Perfect time to write a story, right? Well, that's what I figure. Stories always turn out better when you can only half see your word doc. I haven't formally written anything on here in a great, long while. The last time I actually wrote a substantial piece of Quizilla...idk what you'd called it...literature, perhaps?...was before Britney shaved off all her hair. Yup, sad. Well I still don't have any substantial writing to show you, but I did start writing an excerpt from the 8th book in the Twilight series that I conjured up while waiting with my friends for the movie to start. We waited 45 minutey poos! Crazy! I had to go see the big show, though. I mean, they revived Cedric! Anyway, instead of finishing my huge 30 hour drawing project or finishing my final design essay, I decided to write this little ditty. I may need to sort out my priorities. Hah, Ron.

An excerpt from the little-known 8th book in the Twilight series: Old Moon.

“Edward? Oh, Edward?” Bella’s voice rang from the other room. “Yes Bella, my pet,” Edward answered. Edward’s voice was sweet, but a trace of melancholy lingered in his tone. “Edward, my lion, don’t you just love all my endearing quirks, like tripping constantly and throwing myself into the face of danger, like that one time in the 1st book where I…”. Edward looked away, repulsed now by the sound of her voice. The only voice he wanted to hear was that of a certain werewolf. How he longed to stroke his thick, raven hair. He realized only in his dreams would he be able to run his cold, marble-like hands through Jacob’s long tresses. Edward groaned aloud. “What is it dearest, Edward?” Bella asked, her eyes wild with concern. “Oh nothing, my sweetheart, ethereal nymph, cupcake. I’m just so distressed that by us being together, I’m putting your mortal life in danger.” “But, I’m not mortal anymore,” Bella replied. “You turned me into a vampire in the 4th book right after I bore your demon spawn, I mean, our little girl Renesmee.” “Ah, indeed, I did, my frosting filled ho-ho.” He suddenly imagined that horrible miscreant Renesmee with his beloved Jacob. The image tortured his soul.

This is my third time writing this entry. I was going to begin this entry with a fun little anecdote, but I'm not feeling so peppy anymore.

I've had many significant things happen in my life recently that I'd love to elaborate on for pages and pages, but for your sake, I'll give you the abridged version: lemon ice smoothies are back at Culver's, I was accepted in the University of Minnesota, I gradiated from hi skool, I was offered an internship at a local print shop, I got bangs, and I've started to write/develop a new series.

And if you were wondering, yes, everything is listed in order of importance. Lemon ice smoothies take high priority in my life.

So, in a matter of months, I'll be headed off to big, scary U of M where hopefully the kids will accept me as the paste eating misfit I am. I'm a little concerned, though, about my future residence. I noticed that in all the brochures they sent me, the buildings had columns, which I imagine are supposed to entice prospective students with their grand appearance, but they scare me. Just their sheer size is enough to make me want to run back into my parents arms. Hopefully we can co-exist.

Ooh, maybe I can visit the Target where Diablo Cody wrote Juno!

Now that I've exceeded my random comment quota for the day, I'm going to wrap this up.

Forever Yours,
20251

I am leaving tomorrow for a skating camp in Eagle River. I shall return in approximately a week to write and frolick, frolick and write. I haven't skated in months...eep, this should be interesting. Thank you to everyone for the kind, kind messages. You are unbelievably supportive and the feedback regarding my latest one-shot was incredible.

Best scenario, I will finish answering all of my messages tonight, but if not, expect a message in about a week. I also apologize to everyone for the delay in my replying to messages. It's been quite the busy year for me, but I will work on improving my replying habits.

*hugs*

I'll miss you all!

Alright, so my photobucket bandwidth has exceeded again. I've been really careful to make sure it doesn't happen...but it's Photobucket. I just want to hit Photobucket. Anywho, I'm getting a new account and my pics and homepage will be fixed in due time.

In conclusion..

Don't email me about it because I already know.

Argh..I'm getting a migraine.

eh, yes, i finished my new layout on my actual site, but its very plain. It's meant to be a portfolio, so it isn't too crazy, but I'll prolly change it. It isn't completely finished and there are some mistakes on it, but take a look if you'd like. if there is something wrong with it, don't tell me...cause i most likely know about it... http://free.hostultra.com/~wishingwellfool/newindex.html

AH Ah Ah ahahahfasfd
Oh man. I landed 8 to 10 SOLID, CLEAN (notice the letters that I conveniently bolded for y'all...ahhah..my accent is back). Yes yes yes yes yes.
I am out of my mind. I put on my Nike kicks and broke it down to My Cherona afterwards. Then my friend EmJ and I got hyper and we decided to end out jumps in barrel rolls. It was beyond amazing.
But what I can't believe is that when I landed my axel, I kept going!!! I didn't fall, I didn't stumble...it was incredibly incredible.
Anyhoo, if you don't know what an axel is and you are insanely confused with my rambling..it's a figure skating jump that is 1 and a half revolutions in the air..capeesh? of course.

Why 20251, what does this mean for us?
I'm talking in first person again...waaa
Happiness goes around my fellow friends. I like to do blends when I'm happy...if you get my drift. If you don't get my drift...uh...hm..can't help ya much kid.
Peace and much love to all my loves,
stephy jane

I'm finally gettin the ol bottom dollar in gear and makin some banners. I've been having some unusual inspiration, so I've just been going with it. Things have been crazy still though, with school and what not. We've had the WKCE testing, math tests, English essays, World Issues tests, wowowo kazowie. Not to mention skating. Anyhoo, I posted the latest to MROSEINE and I've decided that since it literally has no more readers, it is finally done. Paper Hearts is still debatable...I may have some time to update it. The Wandrer's will probably be moved back full time to HPfanfiction. My next game plan is too start a new comedy series set at Hogwarts. I've been having some creative stephality moments and I thought up some new ideas. I've been in a very bannery mood, so watch out...your story just may be bannerized next. dun dun dun. watch your back all of you great authors. stay cill,

So, this morning, I'm sitting in my bed, peaceful and warm and all of a sudden I hear this noise. I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary and then I realize that it's getting closer. So, I jerk around quickly and find none other than my brother and like seven of his posse snooping around my room.

1st of all, you never, ever wake Steph up when it's not a school day or when I don't have skating. That is unacceptable and cruel and unusual.

Secondly, uh...it's my room. Not theirs. Not my brothers. Mine. ahem. Nuff said.

Thirdly, I shouldn't have gotten in trouble last night when I told them to go outside and play hide and seek at midnight. They are psychotic and should not be roaming around my house. Parents just don't understand...well put Will, well put.

Lastly, I am a sophomore. I don't want cocky, little sixth graders going through my room. That is wrong.

Now, they are gone. finally. at last, there is peace. Yeah, and I got to clean up the kitchen and living room after they single handedly turned them into hazardous areas. That is no joke, they were disgusting.

Argh, I'm going somewhere else next time he invites his evil little friends over. Yes, maybe I'm overreacting, but I do not have any patience when it comes to little kids who can not respect their peers. ah. ah. ah. Also, a new layout is coming soon! I finally, (the tear's are welling up), think that I might be able to give up, (okay the waterworks are officially coming) my 13 Going on 30 layout. I am emotionally attached to that baby. I made an equally interesting layout though, so I think some change may be good for me. I'm quite resistant to change.

Ah, yes. I am officially furious after writing this journal entry for the THIRD time after the lovely quizilla deleted it. Not even joking, if it does it again, I will have a meltdown. I'm going to scream now.


I have decided to bring my story The Wandrer's, over from HPfanfic to the big Q (which I am out of my mind furious with right now). The story has some premonitons from readers about what Harry Potter's future will be like.


The Wandrer's takes place in the Ollivander family during the Dark Times when Lord Voldemort is high and on the rise. Through a series of events, Norah Ollivander finds that she holds a great deal of responsibilites. Responsibilites of such importance, that they may not affect just her, but the fate of the much of the Wizarding World and its existence. She holds certain skills and a deep power that she herself would never have suspected. The power the Ollivander family holds now lies in the hands of a lost child. Tragedy strikes in the Wizarding World forcing Norah into the heat of the battle. Fate brings her to one other person, who maybe, just maybe, they together could bring a settling peace to their world. When dealing with the Darkest of the Lords though, times are not easy. The undeniable fact is that sometimes it can be downright...deadly. Norah also finds that love can be deeper than she had ever dreamed.


Here's a short teaser:: Despite the broad knowledge Norah had acquired of wands, curiosity always seemed to get the best of her youthful spirit. It was a characteristic that was often frowned upon by the Ollivander’s. The young child could have never suspected how greatly her abilities would be needed later in the course of her life. For what is one mere person to do, when a turn of events leads the fate of a dark lord to rely on their character.


If this interests you in the least, read it. See for yourself...

--the first chapter is out right now, second one in progress

oh guys. I don't even know what to write or even begin to tell you my feelings. Things are so hard for me right now. I just received the news that my best friend who has been with me and alongside me throughout most of my life, is moving away. I won't see her in my senior year and at that point it will be extremely difficult to ever make contact with her again. I literally do everything with her. She's moving to Finland. I live in Wisconsin. Do the math. I think I'll go cry in my pillow. Ah yes, today I received more news. My uncle was in a car accident and his car was totaled. While he was in the hospital, he had passed out for sometime and it was discovered that he had a tumor in his spine. So, now he is being shipped off to a larger hospital. When I watched my mom hug my friend's mom goodbye, my heart sank. It sank lower than I thought a heart could sink. I burst into tears. I'm lost...in everything. .steph.

Hey all. I'm so excited!!!!!! Along time ago, I made this blend from Chicago and it looked...uh...not so grand. I just fixed it up and now I loooooove it! I'll post it on my site soon, but I just wanted to share my pure excitement! It looks crazy and weird, but the colors...I just love. Muahah. Also, at 12:00 today find which channel the Campbells Skating Comp. is on and watch. I'm on there. Alas, here is my blend. I have titled it appropriately Death By Glitter. They'll let you get away with murder... (I LOVE Chicago)

I should be watching SNL right now, but what am I doing you ask? making icons. i am making frickin icons. why? i don't know. i had a graphic design break through today and I learned a new technique, which drastically improves my skills...so basically, I'm happy. My teeth feel all gritty from the cotton candy I downed in the first half hour of Elizabethtown. very hot. Orlando is just...no words. Beautiful. The movie wasn't the best thing I'd ever seen, but it was pretty random like me, so I appreciated it. During this one part where a guy was blowing a house up, I was laughing my head off. I don't even know why...my cuz and i went to this movie and we were laughin idiotically. There was this cute guy sitting next to me and he was just staring at me like I was crazy. I can't always contain my laughter...as much as I try. I also started a new Deviantart profile today. I had quite the busy day. Skating at 6:30-i improved my flying camel...ignore me if you have no clue what i'm talking about, went to breakfast with my friend, came home, computer, vacuumed (yippy skippy), created my deviantart account, answered emails blah blah blah, sat around the house and pondered what i should do, went to the movie, went to dq, and now, i am sitting at the computer once again. every day for me is action packed. no doubt. I MISS JEN! I hope ya had fun at your MCR concert. I've been listening to Sugar We're Goin Down all day...i never liked that song and then i guess..sigh..it grew on me. Ahh..I also updated my website. greatness.

here they are. I added some pics that I scanned of me from skating. I just had a whole pile that I scanned..so if there are some psychotic pics, ma bad. Enjoy? I'll post pics of my autograph book later. I'm not in a scanerific mood right now...also, when I get back pics from this years comp, i'll post..maybe. 1st Place Hiawathaland! OHHHH YEA!!! EVAN! such a sweetie. I started scanning pics together... yep, we sat right next to the skaters and we stayed at the same hotel as them so we talked for like an hour and got pics. wow. 1st one is Michelle and other skaters practicing, 2nd is Michelle autographing stuff for us, and 3rd is SASHA. We talked to her in the lobby of our hotel..she seemed pretty nice.. Dorks anonymous. My eyebrows look messed up in this pic...oh well. I'm smiling..what more do ya want. 1st pic, The skaters..., 2nd pic, me and kel getting ready for the performance of Broadway on Ice, and 3rd, Badger State. woot. thats a wrap. those are enough skatin pics to last a lifetime. wowwie.

yep yep. New banners. My fingers are cold, so I'm typing this up fast...but hence the name new banners baby!...I have new banners. Take a looksie. Ah, I put a pic of me in here too. Just cause...hahah. I'm such a nerd. And lastly for the banners, is... Not my fav, but it's okay. and..tada! Here is moi! It's better not to ask...I'm just gangsta like this...

hey all. *sigh* I need to dance to the Annie soundtrack. Ahh..good times. Hahah..long story..it ended up with my friend taping me and another pal dancing and singing to Annie. We were going to send it to America's Funniest home videos, but she deleted it on accident. It was gold I tell ya..gold. Anyhoo, I figure I should rant a bit in here. Well, today in world issues, one of my good guy friends, who I secretly like (very secretive, i know) was making me gag. He flirts with this ever so popular girl all hour and offered to get her textbook for her. I was gonna start laughing. He's shooting for the stars. I wish him the best of luck with that. I'm not freakishly popular, I guess I'm just the cool cat who makes people laugh, which I'm okay with. Maybe it isn't okay with him though. Oh well, I need to get over that. I was reading some interesting stories. Go check out LovenotesxXxfool's quizzes. I found them unique. I'm drifting off as I write this. I am way too tired. Until my next eventful post,
