It's been so long since an update, I'm not sure where to start.

First and foremost, I'm so dissapointed that I can't post the short stories that I've been writing as of late. If you haven't caught up on the rest, check out mccandycane.blogspot.com (I'm not shamelessly advertising here, either, it would only make sense to check out that blog as well, seing as how I tend to reference stories I'm writing and that blog has stories I've written) and you'll notice there's a draft of stories. The reason why? I've been compiling a collection that I could hopefully turn into a book one day. They're all about the future and the theme is the same but I'm trying to make them as diverse as possible. Maybe I'll call it UTOPIC or THEY CALLED IT NORANGE, due to the material, but trust me when I say that I'm so bummed that I can't post them because they might potentially be my first large peice of work. That's all I can say about them now.

Secondly, I got my laptop back...pretty evident.

I'm typing on Q10. It's pretty nice to focus with, but I was debating on whether or not to buy the desktop version of Write or Die. I also have a job now, so doing that will be a lot easier.

My birthday's August 4th; next month. I'll be eighteen and responsibility will begin to be held solely on my shoulders. Didn't I write some blog about how bad being seventeen was? I think it was called The Seventeen Year Old Void. I believe that if I went back and reread it, it'd seem stupid; this year kicked ass.

I'm heading off to college very very very soon. For Creative Writing, so don't expect any of these updates to change, as scarce as they are. I do try to post on here whenever I can. But try to expect more of me. My laptop is fully mine along with the power that comes with it and my yearn to actually get stuff off of the ground is stronger as well.

I figure I should close this with a list I want done before I'm eighteen:
-Compose a large peice of work
-Finish all of my short story collection
-Finish my end of the script for Fade to Black (comic I'm doing)
-Write The Comedown and decide whether or not you're going to write it like a comic or a movie
-Don't fail out of college
-Get at least one new reader of my work

Watch me rise, watch me sink. It could go either way.
