Jon and Josh's birthday was today, which was fun. I was able to get off work, thankfully, to enjoy the family dinner and then attempting to go out bowling with the guys, Niki, Mallory, Rebecca, Kevin and Elissa. After bowling fell through, we went back home to go about playing a game that I was, basically, terrible at.
Next in line is Nancy, who turns 19 and has been accepted to college at Messiah college. Lord willing, I'll be accepted to Houghton and not be left behind. I think I'd be forced to move out or something in order to keep myself feeling at all the age I am.
This week is spring break, thank goodness. Which equates to me being given the opportunity to sleep a bit. Take tomorrow, for example, I plan on sleeping until nine and then writing - or trying to write - until noon. Eating lunch, then writing again until about four when mom and I will be going shopping for dresses for the wedding.
Yes, the wedding - in less than two weeks. Oh gosh, where'd the time go??
My brain feels like goo. Whenever I get an idea, I don't know, exactly, how to get it down on paper. I've been reading over notes my brother's have left me regarding the first draft of my book and I find it interesting - their comments anyway. Josh's are very uplifting, saying that I've got brilliant writing, some things are really good, while Jon was tearing the book apart. Josh did too, but in less harsh ways.
I find it intriguing. And refreshing, to know that they can be honest with me about my writing and my concepts. Granted, I am only twenty years old and it is my first shot at anything resembling a novel. I hope to anything that this book can be what I see in my head, but I don't know if it'll be what I keep praying for.
I've got some growing up to do first.
I've gotta get going. It's about time for bed. After - of course - watching Star Trek trailers to pass the time until May (Because it's so far away!).
For now, goodnight!
