Report 138 - Midway in 2014

We are already in June! WOOHOO

For this report, I will analyze my progress in 2014 goals.  I told myself that this year I would be more productive, that I would follow the path I made.  And boy did I have a lot to tell you.

On the mark of four months, I finished more then I ever had in two years I'm pretty sure.

Here is what I had wrote for my Big Fun Scary List of 2014 and what I was able to accomplish so far.

1. Once a week,post half a chapter of Not a Super Villain

• I actually finished posting Part one of the story AND revised part 2 AND am going to self-publish it in two  weeks.  I want above and beyond what I had plan, and though I was only  be able to finish.

1. plan,outline and write
• That…didn't go as well as I hoped.  Mostly because I focused more on Not a SUper Villain then anything, but also I keep moving from one idea to another.  I did plan and outline half an arc story. Start writing Winter Frost, but I didn't like how it was going so I stopped.
2. 333 project ( winter)
• This went better then I hoped. I cleaned my cloths that didn't fit me or things I wasn't going to were anymore.  I cleaned maybe two bags worth of stuff.   I did winter cloths and summer cloths.  I think I still have to go through some of the article of clothing I have again.
3. clean out the clutter in my office
• four to five bags after, It is actually done.  It is one of the best achievement I ever did.
4. paint
• I paint once and a while, when the mood strikes.
5. eat better
• Better then before, but still could do better
6. do the tools everyday
• I didn't even touch this. I should, but I don't think I will, mostly because I don't remember, and ignore my reminders.
7. Evening routing
• was consists of preparing my lunch for the next day, but so far, I ain't gonna do it.
8. Morning routine
• I was good, following what I wanted for four months, and then I stopped for no reason?  I want to continue however.  It consists of meditation and getting ready and stuff.  I want to do meditation more often again.
9. participate and donate to NaNoWriMo 2014
• Unsure if I want to work on Poison Seed story, or Not a Hero story.  But at least I still have a couple of more months.
10. read less fan fiction and more book that I actually own.
• HAHAHAHAHA
11. Learn ASL?
• I bought a book for learning as a started, but I didn't really study it since I want to focus on my Wizardry right now.
12. Less Tumblr
• surprisingly, I am doing good on this goal.  I cleaned the blogs I was following to only the few that I actually care and enjoy their company.  and limiting my time on it to focus more on my writing, and now my online classes.
13. Finish college in Honours
• Most of my grades were above 85 (maybe three were in the 85+, most of the others were in the 90's and over.) so I am not worried about that now.  I am graduating in two weeks, which is scary.
14. get a job
• I accepted a temporary job were I am doing my training right now, so at least I have that.  It isn't permanent, but at least it will keep me afloat until I find something else.
15. use the library to get books instead of buying them.
• I am doing extremely good on this.  I just finished reading books that was on my to-read list.  Now I have some only classes I need to focus on so my reading changed from fiction to Mythology and Divination.  It's actually topics that I enjoy and read on my own time anyway so I am doing well.

so yes, out of 6/15, that is more then I ever thought I would accomplish.  And yes, some I didn't work on, but others I went above and beyond working on them.  Others,  I am doing the best that I can and that is all that I need.  THe best that I can.

I am now working on some online classes like I mention before, so new goals will come and other will have to go for another year.

However, compare to my other years in goals, this is the most I ever accomplished.  I knew that I was going to try harder to follow my goals this year, but I didn't actually see progress until I sat down and looked at my list again.  Only when I was starting to cross off things of the list that I noticed, hey, I am amazing, I am further in my goals that I ever been in half my life.  This is amazing.

I am proud of myself on the journey I have taken, and what is coming along my path.  I have come a hell of a long way, and now I am less afraid of the journey ahead of me.  There is more to learn, and I will be ready.

Blessed be

Steph~

Report 137: Movies can influence your dream. And make you a badass motherfucker.

I had a dream that I was in the mall with my best friend, we were look in a new tiny shop that would sell purses and I was looking at a beige one cause they where really nice looking. It was getting late and me and my friend decided to leave after I did my purchase. Had a weird argument with the cashier that wouldn't use my debit when she just served a men before me acting all dumb like she didn't know how to use it. When she finally got a clue and start the transaction, the whole place lost power. Everything went dark. It was closing time, so not a lot of shops where open now and the tiny shop had the railing up, ready for closing after I was done. BUt there was something weird outside. It was to quite. Slowly, me,my friend, and the cashier walk toward the doors leading outside. TO ONLY BURST A GIANT MOTEHRFUCKER MONSTER!

That...thing looked a lot like the monsters in the Scooby too movie. It was huge, three time the size of a human and was growling and screeching, the leftover people in the mall was panicking and running away. I pushed my friend back in the tiny shop ( the cashier was eaten.) and hid behind the counter until the monsters where further inside.

The exit was block because of debris. I stoled my purse I wanted to buy and slide it over my shoulder, made the strap short like that it was just under my arm. My best friend did the same. We manage to go into other shops. We break in, breaking the doors, not really caring since you know THERE IS GIANT MOTHERFUCKER MONSTER IN THE MALL. I stoled a gun and a shoulder strap, setting it all up. I remember my friend freaking out asking if I even knew how a gun worked? I told her NOPE and pack a bunch of ammo clips in my stollen purse. My friend did the same, and pack a torch and a bear knife. I remember everything from the dream in super detailed and its scary. I took a smaller torch. the place was getting darker from the sun setting and we still could hear the monster moving about, a lot  things getting destroyed and smashed.

Like we where fucking FBI trained me and my friend tried to get in further in the mall, knowing that in a bigger shop Zellers or something that they have a receiving in the back, and wanting to leave through there. We were ambush in the middle of the Zellers, fucking using ninja move and shoot that thing dead. FUcking scaring the shit out of me. That thing is huge, wrinkly and scary. We moved the dead monster behind a counter and continue toward the back. until we got in the receiving which was in chaos and pitch black. We went all in the back until I noticed a person inside a room in the far back. There was too much junk blocking the exit door so I open the door, scaring the shit out of the men inside. We barak the door and stayed there for a few hours until we heard some noise. I had a fight with my friend because I wanted to check it out but she said it was to dangerous with those things outside. But I argued back that the the noise was different, more quite then the huge barrel the monster makes. So I want out, giving orders that the other doesn''t open the door to anyone unless its me.

And it was a bunch of cops, outside we yelled at each other gun drawn out. I didn't want to stand down. Expecially when they said there was no monsters out there. I woke up then, with me glaring at cops because they didn't believe me when there was giant motherfucking monsters out there.

I think I need to watch Hawaii five-o before going to bed....and scooby doo's movies XD At least I didn't wake up scared, I was pretty calm in my dream.Like I knew what to do even though I had no training except from watching cop movies and tv show.

Report 136: On the island.

(picture not mine, I googled it. Confederation Bridge)

We've been living on the island for more then six months now, and I finally place paintings up on the wall! Well two. ANd I laugh since the two I placed first are made by my best friend that she give me when she moved out of the apartment few years ago. I also cleaned up my office, I changed a few things around so now I can actually close the door of my wardrobe.

I've been writing lately, but not on what I should be actually working on, oups. I wrote the full outline for the second book of my Ghost Trackers series. Then I worked a bit on the first novel, but I should do more then that. I just been...focused on something else, mostly homework since mid term have passed and now I need to study for exam that will be coming quicker then I though.

I did apply for some jobs on the island, since me and scott talked and we agreed that we want to stay for another year. We love our apartment and the island, we don't want to move out. Yes it would be easier on us if we would stay in New Brunswick, but it is our decision and we love living here.

Scott is working his way to try and get an assistant manager job where he is working. NO one really believes him when he asked because he only been working for them for a couple of months, but he is dedicated and works hard.  I'm also going to have an interview ( via SKYPE! :D) next week. Totally sure it was today but then I check the email again and it was March 7 so I was like: Daannmm.

Nothing much happen in the month, except for the "reading week" which is their version of March break. I had plan to read all my books but instead I just...tumblr all day and clean the apartment. Fun times. Okay yes I got skype finally when I was talking with my best friend where I missed the sowing machine loud noise. She said "why not?" and it made me download skype but I didn't even call her yet, I got a call from my mom and now they are calling at least once a week or every two weeks or so.

its awkward, because I have no idea what I can talk to them. I just find it funny because every time they call scott is working at nights so they miss him. And I mean, there is so much I can talk about two classes. I could talk about my progress in my writing but the only thing that interest them is if my grammar is perfect, not the story ( which is depressing, so I keep it to myself).

For valentines day, Scott changed the plan at the last minute, we had previously planned that I would have cooked him a dinner at home while he worked until 5, but then he wanted to go out. And I was like, your kidding me! Its Valentines Day! so yeah, we got no place at all, even if I tried to call in advance for reservation, but not only was it Valentines day, but it was Kids eat free day ish. NO PLACE AT ALL. We ate at McDonalds. I got books, I let him get a DLC for Skyrim.

I FINALLY GOT A BOOK BY JOHN GREEN! I got Paper Town. I still didn't read it since I'm half way into Cinder like a week ago. And I still have a bunch of books I want to read that are all placed accordingly on my desk.Its quite pretty.

Anyway I have to go, one assignment needs to be written and a outlines has to be planned.

Take care,

Steph~
