Adventures Of Mark Twain

Friday, 23rd January, 2009

It's strange how things that seem so bad at first can end up being so good.Today, when I went to open Drop The Dagger [My story- Click], which I had saved to a USB port, I discovered that it was gone. It was no longer on the USB port. After searching for it and finally accepting the fact that it was gone, I opened the file that I had saved to the computer. I had last updated that file a few days ago so it didn't have the latest chapters. That was fine, because I could just get them off the internet, but I was almost finished chapter 39 so I lost that entire chapter and had to start again.
At first, I was really pissed, but then, I was happy. I was writing the chapter a lot better than [In my opinion] I had ever written anything before. I decided then and there that this would be a new 'era' for my writing.There are no accidents.

Today, I went to a small concert with Kathryn. It was just some local bands playing. It was reasonably good. I had fun. Anyway, I started liking this guy that I saw there. [He's in my year and goes to my school, it wasn't just some random guy I had never met before]In my journal there's quite a bit written about him, but someone I know might be reading this, and I wouldn't want them to find out. [Apart from you Kathryn, but I'll tell you sometime.]Anyway, I can't decide if I'm sad about liking him or happy or just content. I don't particularly want to like him, because he might be in some of my classes [School starts on Thursday. End of Summer holidays], and if he talks to me it will result in blushing and stuttering on my part.Besides, I doubt he likes me too. Like, seriously doubt. I dunno. I guess there's always a chance. But I hope I get over him soon. God some things are confusing.

I was just thinking about how people are good at things, but there's always something that we succeed at more than anything else. For me, that would be writing. For some people, it could be something like art or music. But whatever it is, we always want to be equally as good at something else. I'd have to say either photography or drumming for me. No matter how much we practice at that other thing, we will still only be great at one thing, the thing we are good at naturally. That one thing makes us the people we are. If I wasn't so good at writing, I would be a different person. If Shakespeare wasn't so good at poetry, he would have been a different person. Everyone has one brilliant natural talent, and without it, we'd all be the same.

There used to be a movie I loved when I was a little kid. It was called: 'The Adventures of Mark Twain' and it was done using clay-mation.
Watch the trailer: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=vOlBfBZQSE0
Now, that trailer may make it look like a really good little kid movie, but I watched a bit of it the other day, and it is not a good little kid movie. Now that I'm older, I look back on it and realize just how twisted and screwed up that movie is. There was a comment under one of the Youtube videos of it that said something like: 'If any little kid watches this, they will be mentally scarred for life. Do the makers of this movie want lots of insane people running around?'Now, I can't shake the thought that this used to be my favourite movie. I finally know why my mind is so different and unstable compared to everyone else's.

Just quickly, I don't know why when you take a video or picture somewhere and there are civilians in the background, you can get fined or sued or sent to jail, but when you go and see a small, unlabelled band play and take a video or picture of them, it's perfectly okay? Just seems weird, that's all.

In the last post, I said I didn’t know why people have nightmares, well someone I know found the answer for me. If you wanna know what that answer is, Go here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080427114419AAVdlN

That's all for now.
