Your Current Mood VI

I am a little stressed out today but I hope to get to bed earlier than usual and sleep a little longer. That usually helps.
 
Happy and relaxed for the first time in months! I've been working my butt off for finals since April and I found out yesterday that I've passed.

I am exhausted this morning. I am currently staying in my in-laws livingroom. They stayed up really late last night... :(

Congratulations! I know what a relief that is.

I'm feeling better than yesterday. Hopeful and believe it or not, ready to get back to work on Monday (I've been off this week on a sort of vacation).
 
I'm in a pretty good mood. The sun is shining, the sky is blue, I have new archery stuff and I've felt better these past few days than I have since last September!
Its good to be alive.:D
 
Why does nobody post here anymore?

Anyway, I'm doubleposting because I need to vent.

My cousin is driving me bonkers. We talk all the time on facebook and USUALLY we get along, but sometimes we fight like sisters and I want to string her up by her toes, gagged, in a closet with my rope.
This is one such time.
We usually goof around and make smalltalk about ideas we have and stuff. As a writer I like ideas, ideas are good, people give them to me all the time. My cousin sometimes sends me ideas that she has and sometimes I file them away for future use. Why? BECAUSE I'M A WRITER. ITS WHAT I DO. So I remembered us discussing a character idea a while back and decided to expand on it and make my own. She was the one who brought up the idea, but she never said anything about wanting it for her own exclusive use, so I figured I might as well make a character (with a great deal of expansion and splashes of my style added) from the idea. I made the mistake of TELLING my cousin this after I had done it and she flipped out, claiming that it was HER idea and how DARE I use it when she had never SAID that she wanted it FOR HER OWN EXCLUSIVE USE. For the love of pie (MPLF) it wasn't a completely UNIQUE idea even, its just one that I hadn't thought of for awhile and therefore had never expanded. Her comment brought it to the forefront of my mind and I decided to act upon the creative juices while they were there. IT WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE BEEN A CHARACTER IN MY BOOKS OR ANYTHING, IT WAS JUST FOR MY OWN AMUSEMENT.
So we yelled back and forth at each other for like ten minutes (over facebook chat) with her pretty much saying that I had no right to do this and I had DONE IT BEFORE which I have NO recollection of. I don't even remember SAYING that I may use an idea that she broached.
And then there's the fact that she's not even serious about writing like I am. She sometimes writes short stories (which don't usually go for very long and- honestly- have a LOT of issues) so maybe she'll get something published sometime BUT ITS NOT LIKE SHE'S A PUBLISHED AUTHOR AND I PURPOSEFULLY HARDCORE STOLE HER IDEA LIKE CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI AND THE END OF INHERITANCE DID TO LOTR.

And THEN she's like, "Oh, no, its fine, just never do it again." ARRGGHH.

I'm not speaking to her. If there's an idea I really want to keep I either don't tell anyone or SAY ITS MY IDEA.

*long frustrated rant over*
 
Annoyed. My cousin is an insufferable know-it-all. And she has very little idea of things that are likely to annoy me, EVEN THOUGH SHE'S KNOWN ME PRACTICALLY HER WHOLE LIFE. >: (

She thinks she's SO mature, but she really isn't. I live for the day when she's finally old enough to realize what a little pain she was for our entire childhood. I at least KNOW that I can be annoying, she rarely even realizes it and when she does realize she's annoying me she usually blames me for it. She's like, naturally antagonistic. And she seems to have discovered nearly EVERYTHING before me, even though I'M older, which is a big part of the problem.

I really do love the furball, but sometimes I don't always LIKE her.


Edit: I just realized my last two posts in this thread are rants about my cousin. xD

Edit 2: Why do I even bother to TRY and converse with her? She just- AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH. :mad:
I'm not talking to her. That's it, I'm just not talking to her for a few days. I can't deal with this extra stress in my life right now. She literally has NO IDEA what I'm trying to do to survive college and she really needs to just grow up a bit.

Happy, because I applied for an editing position at Oxford University Press, and they seem really interested in me. I'm also happy because my story writing is going really well, reading good books, going to the library to get other ones out, and happy with how amazing the new Taylor Swift album is.
