I have decided.
For the past week or two I have been debating about whether or not I want to send my first book to a publisher or just publish it myself. And I have decided that I want to do it myself :) that way I won't have to wait forever for it to get published, and won't have to deal with rejection because I feel like that this book would get rejected by publishers because of the controversial topic it centers on. Plus I want to be able to say that I did this myself, and if I completely fail or bomb then I'll be able to just take it as a life lesson and blame myself and not someone else. With that said, I should get going on a photo shoot of sorts for covers of the books I have in mind. I didn't spend 10 years of my life doing art for nothing after all! :D

My thoughts to the Vampire Diaries season finale. + other news
Prepare for a long post!
So finally we get an unpredictable TVD episode! I know some people agreed with me that some of the episodes in this season were predictable and just blah. But did they really have to get rid of Joseph Morgan!? I liked him!! I wonder what'll happen when Caroline realizes that Tyler is gone (I think he is idk and since I'm a fan of both Forwood and Klaroline I'm kind of torn about this twist) and that Klaus is now in Tyler's body.
Stelena. I used to be a fan of them in the first couple of seasons but then they just got annoying to me about halfway through season 2 and I'm personally mad that she chose Stefan just because I don't really care for Stefan's numerous mood swings like one day he's a tortured suicidal soul cause he's the ripper, then the next he's all like "I want to kill Klaus so let me just focus on that!" and then the next he's all like "Omg Elena I freaking love you and want you!" ugh he's worse than a teenage girl and Damon is just straightforward and honest. But that's just my opinion.
Delena. "Maybe if we met first," *switch to a flashback of Damon and Elena actually meeting where Damon then compulses her to forget him* THE HELL!?!? DAMMITT!!
Alaric is now officially dead. WHY!? D,: I loved Alaric when he wasn't on the dark side. :,(
Elena is now a vampire. So I guess she'll remember that she met Damon before Stefan. Doubt that'll change her mind but it should add for some Delena/Stelena drama. Ah I can already hear the shipping wars. God it's going to be worse than Avatar the Last Airbender shipping wars. :/
Now that I got that off of my chest.
Other news! :D
I am officially moving in August and getting a puppy! :D so yay! And heading back to school after a year off and I'm kind of nervous about that. I hope I can get my GPA up. That low GPA is not fun at all. So since I got a 2 hour layover on that plane ride, chances are I will probably manage to finish a book on that flight.
I'm still working on the second book of my trilogy, it's now in the second chapter so it's probably going at the same pace as the first one. I would've been at chapter 3 but my friend popped up to visit me at work (which made me extremely happy cause we've been friends for years and she's my editor too) when I was about to put away the Bios because that's where I usually write my book since it's in a corner that people rarely go to and I can see people coming before they see me so it gives me a chance to hide my nook. I only do this on slow days at work when everything else is done I want to add!
And speaking of my friend, she suggested that I can use a situation that's been happening to me for the past year, as a book. So I got started on that and am not really as secretive about it as I am with my trilogy cause it's not that original of an idea so I'll just put up a short summary now.
Adriana Cruz is just trying to live life as a college freshman as normal as possible. But since her senior year of high school she's been having dreams about a guy she doesn't know. She pushes the dreams out of her thoughts until the day she manages to hear his name being called inside her latest dream with him. Never hearing anyone's name while dreaming Adriana is afraid she's heading to the mental institution when she's looking through Facebook for the David of her dreams. Who is David and why does he keep popping up into her dreams?
Yeah I need to work on that summary. I almost got like 1,000 words written for that anyway and kind of like the idea so I might just go with it, and because I am not a fan of Twilight (though I will never mention that to my boss who is a diehard fan) I respect Twihards and Stephanie Meyers though but I just personally am not a fan of it
I hope that this idea doesn't end up becoming like it with the whole "I need Edward to live!" mentality. This is not about vampires though I need to add! Hopefully I'll at least make enough money off of it to pay for my Netflix bill for a month XD Anyway so I should be off straightening my hair now. Can't wait until my friend is done editing my book so I can get it out on Amazon and Barnes & Noble! *fingers crossed*

Mourning over my favorite British show. + book news
So the summer of 2011 I was bored and decided to listen to my friends on Youtube and watch this British TV show called Misfits. I was instantly hooked and finished both of the seasons in a week before season 3 premiered. Then I found out that my favorite character Nathan wasn't returning because the actor that portrays him, Robert Sheehan, wanted to go off and act in movies. I was a little upset but I was ok with it because my second favorite character Kelly and my favorite couple was still there. Then the season 3 finale happened and my favorite couple died and I of course became really mad and my anger lasted for a week, but I was like, "Well Kelly's still there and so I'll watched the next season next year, plus I like the new character Rudy and Kelly and Seth will just be my replacement couple for the show." nope. I just found out that the actress who portrays Kelly isn't coming back for season 4. I am so upset about it and want to cry! This is Being Human UK all over again! :,(
Now onto my book news so I can stop myself from crying. My editor/friend is now on summer break from college so she's going to start reading and editing. I am officially around 1100 words into the second installment of my series, and since it's been in the 90s here in good ol' Florida, I'm having trouble sleeping so I just keep writing in it so hopefully I'll be able to finish it by the end of the summer and have it out by Christmas.
If you haven't seen Misfits, I recommend it, you will understand why I got so upset over the characters leaving and won't think I'm just some crazy person without a life hahahaha XD
