Had my sixth form induction day today... It was somewhat scary. The atmosphere there is nice, though, and all the people were really friendly and helped me out when I didn't know where to go and stuff. I don't think I'll have much in common with any of the girls. They reminded me of my sister with all their talk of fashion, and asking me if I liked Big Brother or The OC. They were really nice, though, with little in the way of bitchiness from what I saw.
Hopefully I'll settle in relatively well in September, although I'm so shy among strangers it'll be awkward at first. I'm not entirely sure how easily I'll make proper friends. I mean, as nice as all the girls I spoke to were, as I mentioned earlier I don't have anything much in common with any of them, from what I've seen. I didn't really talk to any of the boys, so I don't know what they're like. No one there was nasty in any way, really, though, so hopefully I'll be alright in September.
For now, though, I'm just going to enjoy the holidays while they last, and try and do something constructive with them.

I almost... almost submitted my story to FictionPress today. Then I chickened out at the last moment. Heh... I'm far too worried about criticisms. I'm also kind of concerned about whether the formatting and stuff will be preserved alright.
Onto something I'm even more concerned about, now... I have my induction day at Sion tomorrow. I know... two people there... I haven't seen or spoken to either of them in years, and I can't even remember what one of them looks like! I'm going to be all nervous and shy and hide behind my hair and ignore everyone if I'm not careful. Automatic defences.

Story Ramblings and Musings
I'm thinking of 'Bloodline' as the title for my story. It suits, since there's quite a lot of emphasis on the different races and statuses of the characters. Not in a racist sort of way, it's more like one of the characters learning that there are more important things in life than status, and that sometimes it doesn't matter what sort of family you come from. That sounds terribly moral... but that's not the plot or anything, it's just to do with the personal growth of the two main characters.
I'm going to finish the second chapter before I post it onto FictionPress, just to make sure it isn't ages between updates. I could really do with a beta-reader for this, to make sure nothing sounds odd or awkward. I shall have to see if I get many reviews when I post it, and then ask if anyone will beta it.

Yay!
I finally finished the first chapter of my book. It still needs to be re-read and checked for inconsistencies etc, but I'm finished with the main writing of it. I'm planning on posting it on FictionPress, and I'll put a link to it here. Now I just need a title.
On a completely unrelated subject, I officially finished my GCSEs yesterday, so I'm free for the next two months or so! More time for writing, drawing, and getting my entry for Tokyopop's RSOM UK and my IMAF entry done. I also want to get Fragile Hearts, my little shounen-ai manga project started as well. I'm thinking of putting it onto Keenspace. I hadn't planned to publish it on the internet originally, but if it's on Keenspace then I'll have more of an incentive to update it.
(I'm far too ambitious. I'll never get all that done...)

"Hot Topic has a very deep understanding of the Naruto brand, and will provide a powerful and compelling product offering that will have enormous appeal to the huge existing Naruto fan base making them a perfect, strategic retail partner for Shonen Jump's Naruto in the U.S." said Cynthia Money, vice president of consumer products for VIZ Media. "We are also excited to expand our VIZ Media Store and feature additional exclusive Shonen Jump's Naruto items on-line." [Source: NarutoFan.com]
In other words: 'We know Naruto's going to make us a lot of money, so we'll put out as many products as possible to cash in on this.'
But seriously, how does one have a 'very deep understanding' of an anime merchandise line, and what do they mean by 'powerful and compelling product?' A t-shirt's a t-shirt, and as much as I love the Naruto characters, putting their faces on items of clothing can hardly be called 'powerful' or 'compelling.'

Bored...
I'm going to be so bored all Summer... I still have two exams left, and already I have too much free time. I have to try and drag myself away from the internet and finish that damned first chapter of my story. I have over two thousand words so far, so I'm getting there (slowly.) I can't wait to start chapter two, though... there's an interesting little scene I know will be fun to write ^_^

The sudden shift in weather has completely screwed up my sense of time. It's half seven and it feels like early afternoon because it's still really sunny and hot. I now have a headache from being made to sit in the sun for too long, and I'm wishing it was Autumn or Spring. I like those seasons, they're nice and neutral, without it being freezing cold or blindingly sunny.

Computer Broken...
Updates may be few and far between for the next week or so (and maybe longer) since my computer is well and truly fucked. The system software seems to be corrupted, and I can't even start the thing up at the moment. I'm borrowing my mum's laptop when I can, but since it's her computer and all, I can't exactly spend my usual amount of time on the internet.
On the plus side, I get a lot more time for drawing, since I don't have much else to do, although it also means that I won't be able to work on my story much either. Thankfully I have a backup of the first chapter (I hope, anyway) so maybe I'll be able to get it posted to fictionpress.com within the next fornight (so much revision means I don't have as much time as I'd like for writing it,)
