| Maybe You'd Understand |
[May. 28th, 2009|02:48 pm] |
If you have emailed me about Maybe You'd Understand, I have responded to all of the emails at this point. So if you haven't heard from me, you might want to try again. (FictionLyn@aol.com) I usually send out the MYU file, the updated one, and for some people I think the file might be too big for your email system. Which would explain why some people haven't heard back from me.
Once that is done, you should hear from me by this Monday with a new chapter. If you haven't, please email me again.
Yes, I'm keeping the list small, but as of now I'm not turning anyone away. If you would like to read or just check out the new stuff, please contact me. I'd love to hear from you. :)
Have a great rest of the week! |

It has certainly been a while, and I never use this account anymore. (I usually use stubborn_me) Here's what I posted over there.
Thanks for the nudge!
I appreciate the nudge and I thank you for pushing me to post something. :) (You know who you are.)
Time flies when you're busy busy. I've been so busy with work, the pets, etc that I just haven't thought about writing here. I guess I should have used this as a way to put some of my adventures down.
The biggest thing that has happened lately is this: I've gotten some WOW emails. I define WOW emails as emails that move me to tears or inspire me. In the last few months I've received quite a few of them, and I find it's interesting that I received them at a time when ideas are starting to flow again and I'm wanting to write again. They came at a time when I was questioning myself the most and wondering if I really want to put words on paper again.
I began reading Maybe You'd Understand the other day and I'm completely hooked. I'm hooked on it so much that I can't stop reading it. I see some problems and I see some errors, but overall I see a story that has pulled me in and made me excited to continue it. So my plan at this moment is to finish reading it, see what I can do with it, and then finish it. Finishing it will help me decide if I still have my true passion for writing again, or if I'm just pushing myself to do something for the wrong reasons. Only time will tell.
I have ideas and I have plots that I would love to explore. I have daydreams and characters and they're screaming at me to tell their stories. I want to lose myself in characters and plots again, and with almost 10 years of maturity I want to dive into the sexier and darker side of writing. I want expression....whereas before I just wanted something to do.
It feels good. :)

| I'm so tired... |
[Nov. 21st, 2004|08:40 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  Torn | ] |
I've been rolling an idea around in my head for a while now, and now I'm so tired of thinking about it that I just decided to do something about it.
Let me back up a little bit...
I've wanted to be a teacher ever since I was old enough to have thoughts about it. There's never been a doubt in my mind that teaching is my calling. Yes there are days when I would love to hide under my covers and not deal with the pressures of educating children, but I love it with all my heart. It is who I am.
Five years ago, on a whim, out of boredom, I tried something that I never thought about trying before. I sat down and I wrote a story. On that same whim, I posted it on the internet and there began "FictionLyn" and the many Sagas and dramas that followed.
There were times that these two things clashed. There were times when I was so obsessed with my writing that I gave less attention to my teaching. My students didn't suffer because I'm good at multi-tasking...but I divided myself between two passions and gave away myself in order to sustain those two passions.
I took a year off after writing for 2 solid years (and I mean solid) and I began a story that pushed me farther. I realized that I could write and sustain a story based on completely fictional characters. I fell in love with the freedom of it and the newness of it. I really enjoyed being able to update on my own time and for my own reasons.
Ever since I started this new story, I've felt a pull in myself more than ever before. I ignored that tug-of-war inside of myself and I kept on with what I was doing, even though from the very start I didn't want to write like I had been before. I didn't want to write online anymore.
Now I'm stuck because I've started it and people are reading it. But this week I hit a point in my life where I realized how pulled I am and how much I resent it. Of how much I resent being "FictionLyn" and writing in a way that I'm not happy with anymore. I'm not happy with where I am, I'm not happy with having my life pulled away from my true calling, and this week I found myself so frustrated and scared that I took myself away from who I am as a teacher. That scared me.
I'm terrified of writing now. Before, I could sit and come up with 20 ideas on how to take a scene or a storyline...and now it just stresses me out to think of anything that has to do with writing. I can't even enjoy books anymore. I've heard of writer's block. I've heard of people having too many ideas. I've never heard of a writing phobia, but that's the closest way I can describe what is going on right now with me. I'm terrified of diving back into my writing or even continuing it.
I don't know how I made it through the chapter the other night. I honestly don't remember sitting down and writing it. It was just done and I posted it. Writing now seems like a job, and I don't understand that because I love my story and I love my characters. I love where it's going and I love what I'm going to make of it. I just don't understand why I'm feeling like this. I feel like I can't pull anything together right now. I've felt like this for a while now, I hoped that taking a break would help, but it only made me realize how nice it was to have one single job to do and do it well.
There's a reason my site won't load. I've taken it all down. I thought that would make me upset and that I would struggle with it, but I felt liberated and I felt good. I felt, for the first time in years, that I was being true to MYSELF. I was being true to my own wishes and desires.
It upsets me and hurts me that I've disappointed people out there who have been with me from the beginning. You all are never far from my mind. You all are the ones that kept me going even when I wanted to stop.
I promised myself that when writing wasn't fun anymore, when I began to dread it or feel turned off by it, that I would stop. This might be yet another mistake, but for now when I feel like I'm juggling too many things in my life...it is giving me some sort of peace. And so far it seems like the kind of peace that I have been searching for, for a really long time.
I don't know how much I'll update this journal, that's not something I have thought about yet. I don't know much of anything except that I need less responsibility and I need to focus on my own life that doesn't revolve around fiction. I never planned to have this path in my life to begin with.
All I can ask for is understanding. If that is too costly to give...so be it.
Me (just me) |

How often is an adult cat supposed to urinate each day?
I finally have my baby Jacy home and so far he has only urinated once in about 19 hours. Do they usually only go to the bathroom once or twice a day?
I'm hovering...I know. :) |

So last night I was taking a bath and my cat Jacy walked into the bathroom (I usually have either him or his sister for a security guard when I take a bath) and he started hissing and growling loudly all of a sudden. Then he went into the litterbox, out of it and licked, in, then out, over and over. After doing that a few times (still growling and hissing and whining) he came over and peed a few drops on my bathmat. VERY unlike him. He has been using the litter box since he was 3 months old. (He's 5 years old now.)
So immediately I thought of a family friend who had a male cat who once had his "pee pee" back up and get blocked. The cat almost died before they could do something about it. I get on the internet, I look up a few things, and sure enough...Jacy has the same symptoms.
Last night Natalie and I treked to the emergency animal clinic here in Orlando, they kept him overnight to clear out the blockage (yes, there was really a blockage) I barely slept last night. Jacy's sister barely slept because she's never been without him. I had to call out of work today because I had to be over at the emergency clinic at 6:30 to get Jacy, only to take him to a regular vet for them to take care of him. (They're going to keep him for 24-48 hours and monitor him, but everything looks great.)
I was seriously freaking out last night though. And it wasn't him as much as my students have a field trip today AND I had no plans out AND I work in an afterschool tutoring program that I now can't go to. At the time I was calling in, I had no idea when they would say for me to pick him up or what they would need me to do.
*deep breath*
I seriously need sleep.

This is irritating me and I don't know why. So I got a new car last month. (Scroll down for pictures if you're lost.) October 22nd is supposed to be when my first payment is due. So I haven't received a damn thing from Suntrust Bank yet about where to send the payments, how much I owe, etc.
Nothing. NADA.
I called Suntrust a little while ago and asked them to resend any information because I guess it got lost in the mail or whatever. What do they tell me?
They don't even know who I am.
THAT'S RIGHT! There is no car loan taken out with them in my name, in my social security number, and they've never even seen the VIN number of my car.
So what does that make the car I'm driving right now? Stolen? Lost? Shall I hope for free????? (yeah right!)
I called the dealership and even the receptionist is like "This is a new one for me! I've never seen a bank not want to take money!"
They haven't called me back yet, a finance person, because they're probably scrambling around trying to get things worked out. My paperwork says that SunTrust Bank supplied the loan, the amount of the loan, and even the date of when I should be making the first payment.
But alas, nobody seems to want my money.
Well yay!
GRRRRRRRRRRR! How fucking irritating! |

MANY hugs, kisses, and thanks to a fabulous Hayden site called Desiring Haden for the new livejournal icon. I love it. It rocks. It makes me all tingly. Here's the site address for those who would like to take a gander: http://desiringhayden.net/ Many hours of enjoyment (and drool) await. :)
I'm loving my students when they grab ahold of a topic and debate it. We had our second debate in class today (whether student athletes should have to maintain a certain GPA in order to participate) and they were FAB...U...LOUS! I wish I could record these. It's just something that I'm proud to be a part of.
Halloween is coming up and I wish I planned on going to a party. But alas, I'm not and that is fine too. I just wish they would have more scary movies on TV. I remember when I was a kid, they used to have scary movies EVERYWHERE on TV during the month of October. Now? Not so much.
Speaking of scary movies, I'm excited to see two that are coming out. I rarely get creeped out or scared by movies, but these two look like doozies.
1. Saw: http://www.apple.com/trailers/lions_gate/saw/
Creepy as hell but VERY clever idea.
2. White Noise: http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/white_noise/
The trailer alone wigged me out. Just completely wigged me out. I think that's because I had just been on a site that discussed the whole "white noise" phenomenon and how people have taken pictures of "ghosts" through turned off TVs and stuff. That's some scary shit right there.

Alrighty, I'm still alive and so is everyone else I care about in FL and GA. Luckily, the area of Orlando I live in wasn't hit as hard as some of the other parts were. It was a long hurricane, it wasn't fun, but overall it wasn't traumatic for me and I'm glad.
We have had the last two days off from school and now I'm going to have to start up again after missing days at school. These poor kids. How are they ever going to get anything this year?
I have been having a continuing dream lately and it involves Dave Matthews. (Yes, from Dave Matthews Band)
Backstory: I'm not a Dave Matthews fan. I'm trying desperately to listen to some of his music because I have found that I truly love some of it (he has SUCH cool instruments in his songs that other bands don't even try to put in there) I'm just having some problems listening to his music because it reminds me a lot of an ex-boyfriend who was the Dave Matthews enthusiast of the apocolypse. (Yeah, fuck you if you're reading this. It bothers me even when it's a reminder.) But, like I said, I like some of his songs A LOT so I'm not going to be held back from enjoying interesting music because it reminds me of someone.
So my dream involves me still being me. I'm a teacher, I live in Orlando, I have all my same friends, etc. But I'm married to Dave Matthews. I'm not exactly sure how we met and became involved, but we have a very close relationship that has been developed over quite a bit of time even though we haven't been married long. During the dream I get frustrated a lot because parents are requesting their children be in my class just because of who my husband is. New teachers are curious because they find out that I'm "the one married to Dave Matthews" and so they're checking me out whenever I walk by. It was a headache and it pissed me off. I just wanted to be me and for them to leave me alone.
Then the dream continued last night where I wanted to drive up to Gainesville next Friday (where my parents live and the University of Florida is) because the Dave Matthews tour was pulling in for a show and I hadn't seen him in a long time because of the schedule they were on. I asked my boss for the day off and he wouldn't let me. I was so pissed off because I wanted TO SEE MY HUSBAND and the little wee-man wouldn't let me. Grrrrr!
So far in dreams I seem to have the "marriage syndrome" with lead singers of bands. Rob Thomas in some and Dave Matthews now in others. Strange I tell ya. Very very strange.
Speaking of strange, can I just tell you how psychic I am lately? Natalie and I walked Callie before the hurricane hit (right before) and right as we started walking I said "We shouldn't go far, it will start raining." AT THAT VERY SECOND it started raining. So then we were hustling back to our aparment, I said "Ok STOP!" and the rain stopped RIGHT THEN. A few minutes later, I said "I wonder if **** (our neighbor) is home." At that very second, her door opened and she walked out.
*chills* Still creeps me out. Creeps me out a lot.
Now I need to make some plans for school tomorrow. Later! |

What is worse than having severe allergies? Having allergies that are GREATLY effected by severe changes in weather.
We have a fucking HURRICANE coming in (third time...oh joy!) and my allergies are just about killing me. I have been sneezing, blowing my nose, sniffling, itching, and stuffy ever since the barometric pressure dropped and it is only going to get worse.
Right now in Orlando it is pretty calm. We expect to have 85-95mph sustained winds in about 2 hours. They are to last until tomorrow.
Isn't that a BITCH?!?!?!?
Meanwhile we're anticipating the loss of power once again. There goes my plans for doing just about anything this weekend. Then again, I doubt I'll sleep much tonight because I won't be able to breathe. GRRRRRRRRR!
Last night, I was creative and redid the graphic at the top of my main page on my website.
I like it. It really shows how I think of Tristan right now. His mental state, etc. Poor baby. *pets him*
I'll be turning off my computer now. Hopefully it won't be weeks before I'll have the electricity to turn it back on again. :)

Yeah whatever. I'm tired. I am having the classic "I'm starting my period, oh wait, oh yeah, no wait!" symptoms. The bloating, the spotting, the upset stomach, the tiny cramps at your side, etc. (I don't have cramps but I get a twinge every now and then.) I have been doing the "I'm ready, go ahead" speech in my head for this entire week. And of course...so far no period.
I should have known better. I haven't had a period for over a year and a half now. **Listens to collective gasp** That's pretty much my norm though. Ever since I've had periods, it has been one month then have it, six months then have it, three months, twelve months, etc etc. Unless I'm on the pill of course. This is the longest I've gone without having one though.
Going back on the pill is probably a good idea, but then I wonder if I'm throwing my body out of sync by MAKING it adhere to a "widely accepted" schedule. The Pill would be forcing me to have a regular period, which my body doesn't really understand or want. *shrug* This is the same trend my mother and my grandmother and my great-grandmother have all gone through. I just don't want to fall back into the problems I had twice in the last five years. My first year teaching and my first year teaching in Orlando, I started hemorrhaging after a long break from my period. It was so bad that nothing was stopping it. That wasn't much fun. I guess I'll just wait and see.
I don't think I've ever made a journal entry about my period before. LOL!!!
On another note, I'm going to have a Hayden-fest weekend including a marathon of "Higher Ground" and then turning to his movies. I'm going to be in a Tristan writing mood like no mood before. Because then I'm going to write like hell. I'm stuck in the "I want to write but I'm not 100% into it just yet" funk. This will push me over the edge for sure. It always works.
I'm going to go find something to do.

| Obsessions... |
[Sep. 21st, 2004|05:18 pm] |
Right now I'm obsessed with Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. It is an obsession that comes and goes with me. It will hit and I will play it nonstop for a week or so, and then I won't touch it for several months. Right now, I love it and don't want to stop.
These two men:
 
Enough said. *drool*
I'm obsessed with finding a good book to read. Lately they have been duds.
I'm obsessed with a story idea that me, Natalie, and my sister formed and planned together on this weekend. It spins and swirls in my mind like a tornado.
I'm obsessed with finding time to write, and then finding the motivation to write when I actually find the time.
I'm obsessed with my newly cleaned carpet. It is beautiful and I want to pet it. :)
I am now thinking about an ex-boyfriend who I learned today got married recently. I somewhat pity his new bride, while I wonder why I even care.
I'm very curious about Smallville this season, and that's mainly because of Lois Lane entering the cast. I haven't watched the show in about two season, but I think I might try watching it again.
I'm obsessed with my hair growing out. I want it to grow long NOW. It has grown a lot since my last haircut, but I want it to grow really long right NOW!
I get tired of thinking about bitchy people and what they may or may not say when I'm not there. (At work.) I'm just tired of being the object of their gossip. They need to get lives.
I'm tired of thinking about the "what ifs" when it comes to where I'm going to be living this time next year. Roomie and I are wanting to move out of this part of Orlando (Nice part, but we're tired of it) and I wonder if we will rent an apartment or house.
I'm tired of hearing about hurricanes and where they might hit Florida.
Yeah. My brain is working on overload right now. |

There's some weird shit going on in my life lately. Some very VERY weird shit.
Here's the "elements" of this tale:
1. A few entries ago I said that I have a student this year that is named Tristen. It's a girl and she's a delight, but it's rather rare to have that name, especially where my school is.
2. As most know, I also write a little character named Tristan.
3. Natalie's (my roommate/close friend/idea bouncer/etc) birthday is December 10th.
4. I needed to find a date for Tristan's birthday in the story (the character of course) and a long time ago, we're talking planning stages before I started writing even the first chapter, I decided to make Tristan's birthday December 10th (same as hers) so I could remember it.
This hasn't been stated in the story yet, but it will be said soon.
Why am I hearing spooky music you ask? I did an activity the other day with my students, yesterday to be specific, and we had to use their birth dates in the exercise.
When is Tristen's birthday? (My student) It's the same as Natalie's and my character Tristan's birthday.
Yeah.
The...exact...same...birthday.
I believe there's something scary going on here. |

1. I'm alive after Hurricane Frances. We didn't lose power this time, but even I have to admit that the weather was rather frightening. It wasn't the weather as much as it was how LONG the bad weather hung around.
2. Yes, for some reason Nsyncstudio's server is down, and therefore my site is also down. I have no idea when Nicole will put it back up, but if she doesn't put it up when I'm ready to post the next chapter...I'll post the chapter in a temporary place and put a link here and in my update email to where it is located. No big deal. :)
3. I GOT MY NEW CAR!!!!!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I have been researching it for a while and I finally decided to do it.
That is my car exactly! Honda CR-V EX with 5-speed transmission. Sunroof. Extras extras extras! EEEEEE! I'm having to get used to driving a standard since it has been a while, but so far so good. I'm already doing 10000000% better than earlier today.
4. My insurance is going down 100 dollars because of the car, and I'm going to get back about 800 dollars for my extended warranty on my other car I traded in. AND I don't have a payment until the end of October. WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
5. Strange thing happened at the dealership when I was getting my car. The man who filled out the paperwork (nice guy) kept asking me if anyone called me by the name "Lyn" My response? "Not if they expect me to answer." But Natalie and I giggled about it since I AM known as "Lyn" online and it is a part of my middle name, but not any part of the name I go by on a day to day basis. The man brought it up MANY MANY times. Like brought it up every time he saw my name, and that was quite a bit. Brought it up so much that when Natalie and I left, I told her that I wondered if he was a reader. lol STRAAAAAAAAAANGE. So very strange.
6. On to picking a new nickname for my new car. My black Honda Accord was "The Black Ballah" (Yes, it was supposed to be funny) and so now I'm wondering what this one will be. Hrmmmmmmm.
I'm tired and I have to teach tomorrow. FUN TIMES! |

As if one hurricane wasn't enough, Charley's "bitch" is taking up where he left off and is now ready to hit Orlando. I thought the first one was bad enough, but this one seems to be quite the doozy.
Imagine that...a female is a force to be reckoned with. lol
Shall I offer a graphic?
How freaking scary is THAT????
I've lived in Florida my whole life. I've been through a lot of storms and hurricanes. Not many of them worry me. But even I have to admit that this one worries me a little. Especially after seeing how Orlando was hit by Charley a few weeks ago.
And this one is supposed to be even stronger and harder.

School started back today for my county (first day back since the Hurricane) and I actually only had one student who was absent. Yes, all twenty three of them were in attendance and ready to go. I actually like this group a lot. They say things and have reactions that crack me up. They are also a group that I think will mature very quickly, and that is always fun to experience. *smile*
My principal walked through the classroom today (hey, he has nothing better to do) and I swear that he almost KNOWS when NOT to walk through. Last time, they were working on an assignment. This time, they were silently reading. True, they were all on task and busy. But for once I wish he would walk through when I'm actually TEACHING something. GRRRRR! He's a little weasel-looking prick anyway. Who cares what he thinks?
This weekend, the roommate and I were OVERLY social. Ever since the hurricane, we have been really social with our neighbors. That is a good thing. It's always nice to know your neighbors. Sunday half of our neighbors packed up in cars and we all went to a local winery. (Yummy times) Then Sunday night Natalie and I went out to dinner with another friend that we haven't seen in a while.
JusthappenedtobethefriendthatIstillhaveasmallcrushon
We had a good time. Spent about 2 hours at the Alehouse and talked about everything from the Olympics to sex. lol (Sex ALWAYS comes up when Natalie and I converse with someone. Hmmmm, strange!) I was shocked about five times that night because obscure things that I like...he liked. Like really obscure. HE FRIGGING LIKES THE GOLDEN GIRLS! Yes, the TV show. (Shai is laughing right now. I can tell.)
Anyway, I had a dream that night that he and I were married and Natalie was living with us. lol It was a good deal though. My parents thought that we were all strange and that we were all swingers or something, but really it worked out just fine. Eerily fine.
*shrug* I don't have the time for crushes and what-ifs. They seem to be a waste of just that...time. |

I'm going to spend the day cleaning my room, bathroom, and closet. Washing clothes, hanging them up, and putting things away.
I might even move my bedroom furniture around a little. Not sure about that one though. I kinda like the way I have things set up right now.
I hate cleaning, but I hate the mess in there more.
So here I go!!!! |

Electricity...oh how I love you! I would have sex with you right now if I could. Yes I would.
Hurricane Charley came right through Orlando and it was an impressive sight. I've been through hurricanes before, but there's just something very eerie about watching it push at buildings and touristy things around here in Orlando. Our apartment didn't sustain any damages except for loss of power and internet for a while. How much did I love my air conditioner when it finally worked? Yeah, I would have gangbanged with electricity and my air conditioner when it was all back up. *looks around* I'm sick.
School was closed the Friday the storm hit, we were supposed to be back today, but it has been cancelled until Tuesday. Natalie and I drove out to my school to see if there was a lot of damage done, and of course my school stood as perfect as it could be. That's good though. At least I don't have to clean things up next week.
We also waited in line for about 30 minutes for gas for my car, and that was at a place that had a short line. Both of us screamed at people who were butting in line. Fun times had by all.
During the hurricane, I met a lot of neighbors I didn't know and spent a lot of time with neighbors that I did know. Some of them are pretty hot tickets. It was nice though. It was nice to spend time sitting around talking and learning about people who could be friends and help out whenever you need them to. (And vice versa)
There are a lot of trees torn up around us and especially on the golf course behind us. Huge massive trees that were picked up and slammed down as easily as if they were twigs. Mother Nature sure knows how to make her presence known if she feels bitchy.
And now I get to write. I have been looking forward to that. Expect an update this weekend some time. Probably Sunday night.
I have also decided that I want a small dog. I'm not sure why this realization has hit, but it has hit big time. I want either a maltese or something small like that. I would keep the hair trimmed VERY short of course, but I just think they're adorable. If anyone in the FL area has one they want to get rid of or puppies for sale, just give me a holla! (Or in Georgia too. My sister lives in Atlanta and I can always drive up there to get a puppy.) |

| Vitamins, gossips, and my skin! |

I learned a very important lesson today. Don't take vitamins on an empty stomach. Never do this. I took my vitamins this morning with the thought that I was going to eat breakfast when I got to school (about 15-25 minutes later) and then got very sick. It hit me suddenly, I was fine until I threw up, but luckily there were no children in my classroom yet.
Still, I threw up and I hate doing that. After I ate, all was good.
Here comes the gossip part. Seems that one of my teammates heard me throwing up, warned the office that I might be getting sick, and the FUCKING BITCH we have up there in the office decided to tell people that I'm pregnant. (Having morning sickness, etc.) I'm sure she thought it was funny to spread the word since I'm not married, not currently dating anyone, and therefore it would be a stain on my damn good reputation at that school.
That's ok. I got her back. When someone asked me this afternoon if I was feeling better (someone who believed I was ill from pregnancy) I said very loudly so the whole office full of teachers could hear "Oh yeah. I'm fine. I always get really sick on the second day of my PERIOD!" The bitch had the balls to roll her eyes and slink off.
I truly believe that the office staff of ANY school runs that school. Without a doubt they do. There are two in our office that I would kiss their feet if I could, but that one? She's just plain spiteful and mean just because she can be.
Fucking whore. :)
As for my skin. I HAVE A TAN!!!!!!! I haven't had a tan since high school!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to tan really easily, but puberty made my skin change to very fair. So now I just burn. Uh uh. Not now. I HAVE A TAN!!!!!! I even showed my students who seemed less than impressed. lol Ah well!
Roomie and I woke up at the BUTT CRACK of dawn to go jogging this morning. I feel very accomplished. WOOHOO! |
