Natural Disaster

I love storms. Love, love, love them. They are absolutely amazing. Whenever I hear thunder, everything in me screams for me to write. I don't know what it is, but there's something about a rainstorm that inspires me. Maybe it's the craziness... idk. But it's beautiful.

I've been thinking a lot about the random things that have happened in my life. Like... those completely crazy moments that never leave you. Sometimes that happens to me though. Huge moments in my life occur, and all I can recall from the events is the certain smell of an old lady's perfume or how the dim lighting made everything seem magical and surreal. But ask me to tell you what exactly happened and I'd draw a blank.
It was like that seeing Wicked. I can't remember actual events in the play, but I can remember how it made me feel, and the cold chill of the air conditioner on my skin. After I got back from London and listened to the soundtrack of Wicked, I couldn't even remember if the actors had had British accents or not (I do, however, remember that the guy playing Boq had an Irish accent, because he was a Munchkinlander and therefore was really short... he reminded me of a Leprechaun).

So I've been reading this book lately. I've already read it, but I've started it again. It's called So Yesterday by Scott Westerfeld. While his books are not the best written, the language he uses entrances me. He introduces old concepts that we're all accustomed to and gives them names. For example, in this specific book, the main concept is about "cool" things and how they became "cool." You know how when you see something that looks pretty awesome, you kind of tilt your head and appreciate it? He calls this "The Nod," stating it like it's always been this way. He'll say stuff like, "He gave her shoes the Nod, and asked her where she got them." I love that. Some of his other books are like that, too. Idk, I wanted to randomly ramble about his books, because they're so catchy, like a song you can't get out of your head. I find that I've become really entranced by those kinds of books lately.Substance is always appreciated in a novel, but it's nice to just kick back and read shallow stuff that makes you giggle.
Also on the subject of books... I took the United States History End of Course Exam today, and the only reason I got one of the questions right was because the sinking of the USS Maine was addressed in the Luxe Series, specifically the book Envy. I just thought that was funny :) . That happens to me all the time though. I read something in a fictional story and then can totally relate it back to life. It's exciting.

So this blog was supposed to be about destroying my writer's block... Nope. Hasn't happened yet. This sucks. I tried to start writing something today while I was waiting on a few specific kids to finish their Exams (five minutes to End Time... when I finished mine within the first half hour-- two hours beforehand) and it just didn't happen. *Makes sad face* Oh well... maybe it'll just take time... *sigh*...
I hate having to be patient.
