Crochet

This is a picture of my first crochet project. The string ran out...

Hello. Did you know that the moon goes on cycles? I didn't, well not until yesterday. It was the third night that there was a full moon. I though it was weird but when I told that to my brother, he said "It goes through cycles." I don't really know if it does or if my brother was right but I'd like to believe that's true. It was weird that this little silver circle that sits in the sky can be my inspiration. Because on the second night that there was a full moon, I started writing (and this was at midnight). And I came up with a great idea for a new story. So basically what I'm saying is that inspiration comes from anywhere. I didn't know that, I've never really had inspiration. Ideas just come to me. So, now that I know, I think that maybe, with new found inspiration, ideas will come to me more easily.

Okay so all that i wrote in my last blog is basically old news now. I've already moved, leaving behind my childhood home and all of my friends. But soon, I'll make all new ones. Well, hopefully anyway. My house--well its nice. I mean, I can't complain. At least I have a house because some people don't. Anyway, I'll start school soon and i have to admit that I'm really nervous. I haven't moved since I was three but that doesn't really count. Mostly, I'm afraid of people not liking me. On tuesday I have to go register for school which starts in August. And then I have to pick out my uniform which I'd rather not wear in the first place. But enough complaining--thats just how life is so I'll get over it eventually. I guess I'm done ranting now so I think I'll go write a story or something. Maybe even go to the pool...

To start off this blog, I'm Lia. I know my life will definitelty seem boring to you but you're reading it, arent you. I wonder what it's like to move away from a childhood home. That may seem random but not to me. I'll be moving in early July from the home I've lived in since I was in pre-k. I've spent ten years of my life building a general reputation and gaining & losing friends just to leave it all behind. In a way, I want to move. I want to leave this north-east town for the warmer south. I want to leave this boring old small town behind. What I don't want to leave are the people. People I've come to know and love. People I've been friends with since I started school. I feel like I'll never be able to build all ofwhat I'm losing back up. I'm stuck in a love/hate relationship with moving. I feel like when i write my fantasy and young adult novels that I can be someone else for a while. I live my character's lives. But only until it's time to continue my own life and live in the moment. Sometimes, that's hard to do but, hey, that's life, right? so, again, I know no one will care enough to read this whole blog or even half of it but even if I'm the only one who does read this, I'm just glad to type it all. Writing is my filter. So sometimes i need to grab pen and paper or even a keyboard. Either way, in the end, I'm glad I have a way to get everything off my chest...
