Babysitting for some friends
Ive been at a friends house babysitting for the past hour and a half. Im babysitting their two kids and a friend of theirs. I dont know what time the friends parents (who I know) will turn up, or when their parents will return. The three kids have to go to bed at about 9 tonight.
Thankfully all three kids play together very well, which makes my job easy. Im sitting in the living room with them while they play mario cart on the wii writing this. It makes my life easy when I can write and watcha and talk to the kids all at once.

Screenplay update
So as many of you know I've been writing a screenplay. Well back in March I finished the first one. Recently I started writing a second one.
Heres an overview of the first screenplay:
Jennifer is your average Joe Smoe from Mid-Michigan, until she discovers her freak singing voice. She grows and learns so much as she learns more and more about where her freak singing voice comes from.
Here is an overview of the second screenplay:
(I'm currently working on writing this one.)
Sarah always knew she was different than most people her age. She grew up singing and acting, so the job she pursues in musical theater. When Sarah and Jennifer meet, they strike up a close relationship that turns out to be more than it seems.

- So thats where things stand with the overviews for now. You may have noticed that in both overviews I mentioned a character named Jennifer. The Jennifer from the first screenplay ("That Girl I knew") and from the second screenplay (which is still untitled) is the same Jennifer. I have several screenplays I would love to write about the same characters. Each screenplay will focus on a different character, as to show the full picture of what was happening in everyone's lives during the same 50 years or so. It'll be a challenge, but I havent given up yet.
I've already filled up one notebook with scenes I want to use in the screenplay Im currently working on, and have started a second one. I'll try to keep you updated with the happenings with these screenplays...although I dont know how productive Ill be.

"Look at what Im given,
this beautiful creation,
this sweet intoxication,
somthing pure in my life
look at all these changes
and the light shines within me
and youll be mine completley
therell be no darkness left to view
I never knew this form of love existed,
and deep inside of me is where it all begins
so hold me in your heart
...
I'll protect you for always,
never feel alone
ill always be with you
home is where the heart is ment to be
youll always have a home inside of me,
and we
will walk this road together,
ill shelter you from burdens
just lean your weight on me
...
I never knew this form of love existed,
...
so hold me in your heart
...
Ill protect you for always
never feel alone
Ill always be with you
for home is where the heart is ment to be
youll always have a home inside of me
no matter where the journey leads you
if your path leads you somewhere new
youll always have a home in this heart of mine
so hold me in your heart
...
Ill protect you for always
never feel alone
Ill always be with you
the home is where the heart is ment to be
youll always have a home inside of me"

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it, mostly because of the beautiful lyrics. In the first little bit of the song the lyrics go "and you'll be mine completley, and there will be no darkness left to view". It's been over a year since I realized that I a story to tell. That story I have been telling for the past year is the one Ive been turning into a fictional screenplay. The characters in the story have always been "mine completley", and whenever I escape to their world, I am so happy and feel like the world is so bright. The lyrics "You'll always be with me" also ring true for these characters...they havent disapeared from my life YET! Once they entered my life, I knew that they would change my life for the better, and would always be with me in some form. I relate to every single character one way or anouther. In a sense I put a little peice of me in each character knowing that someone would relate to that trait in that character and be moved by what the character had to say. It's been a year since I started writing these characters stories, and Im no where near done. Best of all I know I can count on anouther year of writing about them and their stories. Even after Im done writing their stories, I know that they will still be with me, for each character has changed the way I look at things.
I really would love to write more right now, but I have to leave for work...love ya all...

Bummed out
Yes Im in a little bit of a rut right now. My friends and I have been trying to plan a weekend at one of our friends cottages on a local lake this summer for all of us to hang out. Today I heard the date that had been decided on, and it turns out that two of us (one being me) cant make it for one reason or anouther. It kinda sucks. Last summer we did one of these, but I was the only one who couldnt make it. Yeah...so im really bummed out right now. I know they arent trying to leave me out, but it sucks when you seem to be the only one who cant ever make it to the summer get together.
I guess part of the reason im so bummed is that going to a local community college that everyone commutes too makes it hard to make new friends. That and seeing most of your closest friends go away to college has made me wounder who i am, and who i was meant to be. In the past year or so I started realizing that I can write. My dad has said that i cant count on ever being published. I havent given up on that chance yet though. There are people I know who have read the screenplay Ive written and loved it. The stories and screenplays I have written and am writing seem to be the only things I've got right now too hold on to. They're the only things I've found that wont disapear.

Wow...
It's been a while since I posted. Since my last post, my brother graduated from High School, grandparents came and left, VBS at church happened, the minor leauge single A all star game happened, and the power chord for my laptop died. I just got a new power chord today, and I'm so excited that I am now able to charge my laptop, which was out of battery, and actually use it again!!!
I've got a surprise planned for my parents and brother while they are in wisconsin. AKA I have a few games while they are over there, so after the last game of the stand, I will go over to see them and grandparents as a fun surprise. I've told my brother what is going happen, so he knows.
