One Tough Cookie

After the past few weeks I think it's time to post another post. So much has happened. I've been doing alright in school. Haha. Okay. So much has happened in the past week. Or week in a half. I saw Age of Ultron last Tuesday with Richard and a friend. I'm not going to post anything about the movie. There was a feeling the movie gave me. Made me think about some of my regrets and worst fears. That same day I was watching an episode of Iron Man: Armored Adventures. In a season two episode Tony must endure his past which is when he believed his father passed. All those feels felt like they touched my soul to the very core. That night I had horrible nightmares, and no matter how hard I tried I did not want to get up. Richard had to bribe me with coffee and hand me Annaise. Annaise perked me right up. The problem with getting touched with feels like that is that it made me think of all my worst fears like failing my family and friends. It made me think that if I had to "endure the past" like young Tony I would probably be sent back to the day my father passed or a time where my life was darker not even a full year after my father left. Those thoughts wouldn't leave until I got like five hugs from Annaise and Richard calmed me down.
Also over the past week and a half I mistakenly (didn't find out it was a mistake until now) thought that AuthorHouse was messing up the cover of Head Hunters. As of today I found out it was an email glitch, and that AuthorHouse had actually done a wonderful job. Today I signed off on  everything for Head Hunters, and the book looks like it will come out sometime next month. I'll be getting my author copy later this month.
I've been able to write more for Fight for Equality. I have twenty-one pages of it so far. I've learned more about three characters so far.
Recently, like this last past Friday I was at home while the boys were at a party. I was playing Girl Fight on the Xbox 360, and I was listening to my Zune when my mind started to be a complete dick. It asked, 'Do you remember the last time you were playing video games and listening to your Zune? Remember how minutes late you found out your Dad passed away?' My PTSD shot up then. I texted Richard while he was at the party and let him know that my PTSD was acting up. I did my best to calm myself down and keep my composure. I was able to keep calm enough when Richard texted back. I beat Girl Fight twice (easy game to beat) before all the boys came home. Recently I learned that my PTSD and anxiety can "play" with my CP making the worst spasms I have ever felt in my life. So I went to the doctor and figured out how to deal with it.
Since yesterday was one of those horrible days for me I had asked for help on Facebook, and my oldest friend and a new friend from school checked on me. I greatly appreciate it. They helped me out so much. I love catching up and meeting new friends. It helps a lot to know people are there for me. But what I love the most is that no matter what I'm going through I'll make it through. ^-^ With a smile.


Now onto frivolous information: 
  • I got a letter from my cousin, Penny. The letter was long and made me feel great. 
  • I got a book from the show Grimm. Aunt Marie's Book of Lore. 
  • Today I got a Squishable blueberry muffin and five  new Pop Vinyls.

Treasured Memories

WARNING: THIS WILL BE MY LONGEST BLOG ENTRY. Worked on this through August 6 through September 4. Started this post August 10th. Life, as we know it, is a complicated storybook for humanity as a whole. Some lives end before they can begin while others experience a lengthy lifetime of bizarre moments that form character development and plot twists. Some stories tell of sacrifice of a parent or child while some stories tell of a victorious march that turned the tides for a nation. Your life is your story and it's scary knowing how much control over it you actually have. Are you the courageous protagonist  or the disillusioned antagonist? Are you a doctor living wealthy or are you scraping change and living paycheck to paycheck? How much of your story have you shared with others, and how much have you kept away? Life doesn't end after the book is finished. Each of us impact someone else in an amazing or terrible way. But it's up to you how your story coincides with someon...

Treasured Memories Part II

Image
A few days ago, July 3rd, I was reading the latest issue of Reader's Digest. The first article that caught my attention was 'Why I've Decided Not to Write a Memoir'. It was about a woman who being given a very detailed and loving letter from her grandmother about why her grandmother couldn't write a memoir even though she had so many stories collected. This article made me reread the first  Treasured Memories I wrote almost a year ago. A lot has changed since that draft for some, and I want to add more people as well. Some bonds have grown stronger, and others have made their mark in my lately. Books named in the memories will be linked in the bottom. I will be using Goodreads links because Goodreads is also important to a few memories.

The Perfect Book for a Traveler of the Mind or Vacationer

  I recently finished reading ‘Where to Go When’ by DK Eyewitness, and the immediate things that make the book fabulous are it breaks up locations by what month is the best time to visit them, they tell when else to go, and all about planning your trip. Each ‘chapter’ is month by month. The other months each location may mention may mention off-seasons, concerts, holidays, ect. In the planning your trip section they mention getting there, getting around, the weather in that month, and the average weather in Fahrenheit and Celsius. For any and all travelers that is extremely important, the Fahrenheit and Celsius because you don’t want to have to take your phone out to translate that on your own all the time.  While reading the book a few places stood out to me as research places for my work like Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Kyoto and Tokyo, Japan, and Galway, Ireland. Rio de Janeiro was in February, Kyoto was in April, Galway was in September, and Tokyo was in November. As I was alw...
