Overachieving is Taxing

Okay, okay. Last night, while reading One Man's Bible, an epiphany came to me. I want to write a novel, an allegory for TMS (what is TMS? Good question. Well, go read my book if I ever publish it!) . I know this sounds crazy because most people write books when they're much older, but I decided that there are many published authors who are younger or as old as me. Why should I wait until I'm older? Actually, it would be a better idea since I would have more free time and better writing skills, but I want to start it now. Then I can get someone to direct a film! I'll be rolling in the dough!

I have the general plot figured out last night, and the name and sex of the main and supporting characters. I know the scene of the beginning and end of the novel and what it will incorporate. I also know what feeling the book should give off. I can't wait to write it. I'm really good at jumping all these other minor steps and go for the big kahuna! Also, I have no clue what to do with the up and coming website jojo and I will make, especially if I'm hired during the winter break.

Speaking of going for the big kahuna....I GOT INTO ICD! Insitute of Child Development! I will not be in my dorm from 11:00 AM-8:00PM on Mondays next semester, but it's worth it. Right?

I finally got to drink Acai Berry! I've been running to the shelves in Walmart (I know I shouldn't support Walmart, but damn their low prices!) but they have disappointed me with their lack of stocking of Acai Berry. However, I found some in my dining hall. I purchased Pomgranate and Acai Berry Fuze and because it is in low calories and has low sugar... it tastes like diet juice--yes, apparently, it is possible to make juice taste diety.

"Was that a reason? Why couldn't a writer also be an artist?"
You say it's impossible for her to understand, even if she does know the language. Things in China can't be explained by language alone.
