Stuff starting to get back to normal

Tim's been doing better. I think, anyways. I haven't beaten him up yet, I think I haven't yet found the heart to do so. Err, or would it be that I haven't yet found the lack of a heart to do so?

I feel tired. Yesterday was busy, but a lot of good things happened.

I started working on my silly sewing project for 4-H, it probably won't take that long. I just hope to God that there won't be any hand sewing. Geez, I hate hand sewing. I watched a little bit of Invader Zim while I was finishing cutting out some pieces, and then pinning stuff together. I was mostly listening to the episodes. I'm not sure, but I think I got up to Walk of Doom.

I met with Maria yesterday to talk about my idea. Apparently, I won't be just hopping into my idea. It makes perfect sense, though, because I first need to figure out what the heck I'm doing, find out what works, what doesn't, etc.

Another problem Maria mentioned is that kids my age wouldn't care to listen to adults talk about their careers, even if it is interesting. Because it's not a concern for them, they don't have "omg I need a career path" staring at them in the face, these kids just plain aren't thinking about what they want to do in their future. So, before I can offer this solution to my peers, give them an idea of what they may want to do--or what they certainly don't want to do--I need to let them know that this is something that they should be thinking about. If I can get them to start thinking this way, I can get my idea to work and to be useful.

And only then will my quest for world domination truly begin. Buwahaha.

...Not really. I just had to add that last sentence because I was getting kinda serious and sounded smart or something. Pshaw.

But, anyway, about my idea? Maria said I need to start small. If I can get my "pilot project" to work, then I can go bigger. I'll learn how to make things run more smoothly. Also, once I get that experience people will be more trusting of me that I can actually do this.

I want to get back working on writing my story, but it seems I've hit a bit of writer's block. I haven't written for Layla in such a while that I'm sort of at a loss of what she would say. Either that or all of my characters have fled me because of my current infatuation with a certain marvelous voice actor. But, eh, I've always been a tad obsessive, so why would that make a difference now?

OH! I saw Ratatouille last night. It was amazing! I have to agree with my brother that there was one part where it wasn't as great. To say without spoilers, Remy is talking with his dad towards the beginning of the end of the movie and gets all philosophical and crap. It was kinda random and a bit cheesy. However, that's a small moment, and the rest of the movie was just great. Simply beautiful.

Eh. I was going to put a rant here about how Pixar is truly great and is nice compared to other animation companies that are convinced that animation is for kids. But the way I was writing it, I was starting to make an ass of myself, so I'm too lazy to fix it and make it sound better. I know how disappointed you all must be, but I'm afraid it's for the best.

I don't watch anything after like, the first couple of times I actually watch it; I listen to it. it's kinda like, I've seen it so much that I don't really have to watch it anymore to know what's going on.

I AM SO DISAPPOINTED IN THE LACK OF RANT. DDDDDDDDDDDD;
