Report 41

Wiiiiii~

Yes I have a Wii, not the one I was planning to buy at Moncton, not even close! My boyfriend, friend was selling his Wii plus two remote controle ( with numchock) and a Nintendo classic remote, plus 3 new game ( Zelda twilight princess, Brawl, and the new Mario game that was out last Christmas) for only 175$ When Scott heard that he bought it on the spot. Mind you we still didn't give the money but its a detail.He know where we live and go to the same college XD

Tomorrow is going to be my birthday, good bye teen years and hello adult world of the twenties. Goody I already feel old.But I have a kid heart, when you see me and my boyfriend play pokemon on the wii XD

I've been good for my writing! I've been practicing a tinny bit. Mostly caring post cards( flash card?) with me and when I have a scene or idea I stop and write it, no mater where I am. I have..minute Im counting XD.. 7 story plot and idea written down. One that have already been change and tweak a bit.

I start playing with the writing software yWrite a bit yesterday and really I love that program a lot.I can write all the character notes, locations description down in one same place. When I start writing a scene I can just click on the tabs to look at the description of a character if I forgot what color was his eyes or where he grew up or something.

I start writing down each project already in yWrite, like that when November comes and I know which project I want to work, I can just open the file and start typing away! I only have two project I start typing about since yesterday was my birthday supper with family. I will work more today, after the shopping for Kitty cat.

My boyfriend doesn't mind, he is playing his DS right now, and probably after the shopping he will go to his place and play on his PS3 with his friend. We don't have to be at the same place all the time, just knowing he is fine is okay with me.We both have different pass time, he like to play his games with friend I like to came up with stories and write about them.

On another note. My big sister give me my birthday present last week-end. and its a calligraphic pen made in blue glass, I will take a picture someday, but I don't have my camera right now. I try it out this morning and it write really well. I try it whit other colors ink I have and the blue ink it came with it and the black ink are the best. The red ink look pink and tame on the pen, the other blue make a lot of mess, yellow you barely can read it.

well that's it for me this morning! time to push Scott to dress up and go shop!
take care,

Steph~

11/11/2011-> its funny on how I think I wrote already that between 5 of August to then I decided to change my  game ideas to writing, that I found NaNoWriMo and decided to participate and thats in between those time, I became a writer and enjoy most of my summer. I also finish working and moved back to Miramichi to live, for a while, with my boyfriend.

Also I don't use yWrite anymore, its really fun and easy to use, I just prefer to have every thing I brainstorm on paper.

I didn't forget about it ( even if no one goes here except of me) I just have been busy with work and catching up on stuff. Kinda funny I have lots to say but no where to start! Even the beginning doesn't do justice to all I want to say. May have to do 2 post.

okay well I FINALLY brought my laptop to get it clean.31 buck later and the technician found a HUGE chunk of dust. Its bigger then My fan I'm pretty sure I laugh when I saw it and told him: " Hey I found my cat!" Its not that big to be a cat but, yeah.

The Kitty Cat, Pixie is doing well, lonely and she miss my roommate a lot. My boyfriend is taking care of her while I'm in Bathurst working.She's a bit annoying the morning though. Since she is use to have my boyfriend getting up at 5 to go to work but when he is not she thinks he be late so she decide to miawl till he gets up. When she understand its a day off. At 8-9 she miawls again because she doesn't want to be alone in the living room anymore. XD Its cute. But annoying.

I'm on twitter often so, I did tweet about that but 2 days ago I got a flash for a awesome Mobile phone game, but the only paper near me at work I could write on was sticky notes!So I'm pretty sure my boss( who's office next to mine) must find it weird that I was drawing odd dinosaurs mumbling codes and none sense.

I do have another idea for a game but it look like its coming to be a 3A title. I'm cutting out a bit to look more simple. now its more a adventure/mystery PC game. The title will be " My Shadow's Relic" It just pop out in my mind today and text everyone in my contact list what they think when they read that. Oddly only the people who when to school for animation or gaming could guess right. The others I had to explain a bit more ( except one person.)

I may use that idea for a final piece for next year. I will write the game idea first. Story a bit later.Since you know that's what I want to do in the industry, Game story writing.

Other note, I want to Costco when summer started and you know what I saw? a Wii... for 100$!! So I decided I will buy it for my birthday gift me-to-me. LOL I already got all my birthday gift a month in advance! I got Zexion doll from my friend. A really expensive purse from my sisters; new cellphone from my mom ( ho yeahh I got a new phone now ! I pay 15$ a month instead of 30. unlimited text and have a key pad I love it so much); 2 TB portable hard-drive from my Boyfriend. But since it cause 200 $ we will use it both of us. I already place all my movies and music in there.

I'm in a new website, called pokefarm. Its about pokemon of cause but that's not it. The guy ( owner) is doing a new game for the website but could work out the game story so he ask the people in the website to apply for a writing job. I applied, when I saw all the application of the 12-13 year old I know I had MUCH bigger chance to have the project. And Indeed I did. Was small mind you, I was done the same day I got it. I just hope I did well, since he didn't ask me more about it.

I made my boyfriend buy a DS, and now we can play pokemon together ( aww were geeks XD). He like Final Fantasy's games and last week-end we both bought new games. Him FF Tactic A2 for DS and I got Myst for DS witch is the same as the PC version.I start playing his game when my battery of my DS died and I can't stop playing. I already have 17 hours on it and I only been playing for 2 days? he land me the game since he was working most of the week.He is going to show me the first version when I come down this friday, his brother have it.

What else is new? Ha yes I will start learning AS3 with the professional Andy I work with for the game jam? yeah him. I kept contact with all the group like that if something new open, I will finally have experience and flash programming and I could help much more! more opportunity for jobs!

I ask my boyfriend last week, if I had a job opportunity but I had to move away, if he would leave everything and fallow me. He told me of cause and why I ask? I told him that I just wanted to make sure he would do the same for me XD It been 10 months and we're still love birds XD

I even told him I'm less afraid to move down in the US, only rule is that we have to be close to the border in case.I'm not scared of US, I'm scared of leaving Canada. I'm a proud Canadian Eh!

What else, what else, what else...I think that's all for now, I tweet often so you can see what I think or what happen in the job I find funny or odd.( Like the two moose walking in the river in front of my work place. In the middle of the city!)

take care very one, and we will see again when College start!
