I wish I looked like Dianna Agron.

She's gorgeous. I'm currently using her in a roleplay on Polyvore, and I'm just absolutely in love with her. Plus, I love Glee. It's really the only comedic TV show I follow.

We're watching Julie and Julia right now - I looooovveee this movie so much. Amy Adams is adorable, and Stanely Tucci + Meryl Streep are amazing actors. Although I have to say, I think Sean Penn and Robert Downey Jr. are the best actors of our generation.

I'm chewing on strawberry Mentos at the moment, and am depressed because the pack is almost done. My mom's boyfriend brought them over for us. Which reminds me, we're back from Vermont, finally! I think my favorite part of the trip were the car rides. Honestly. I love long car rides. I think I'd do well taking a road trip across the country.

I think I may need to stop now. I really don't have much to say tonight, I just wanted to get something up.

Mento-lessly yours,

I hate the snow.

I hate the snow so much. You have no idea. We're in Vermont, because my mother and her boyfriend enjoy skiing, as does Olivia, and it has been snowing nonstop since Tuesday. In twenty four hours, Killington has accumulated twenty fucking eight inches of snow, causing us to have to stay for an extra night. And because the condos are expensive, we're now staying with the family friends who came with us, a family of six. The youngest child being three, the oldest being newly thirteen.
Not to mention that Olivia broke her leg yesterday, and is completely incapable of helping anyone out.

Let's see, what else can I complain about?
I haven't been able to do anything on Polyvore for the past day and a half, because the internet here is all screwy. At least, that's what I'm hoping so that my computer won't be even more broken than it already is. I have pretty much been rendered incapable of finishing my novel right now, and it makes me sad. I had to walk over to this condo weighed down by all of the luggage I packed, AND the straps on the bag carrying my book broke.

I think the only good thing about my day so far has been Emma getting thrown up on by the two year old. That was quite entertaining.

I uploaded a short story and a poem to inkpop.com. I'm not sure if I want to upload my novel, seeing as I'm submitting it to a competition next week, and it would be really unfortunate if they thought I plagiarized something, especially considering the fact that the prize for said contest is a publishing contract. I would be very upset. I'm probably not going to win, anyway, but it's worth a shot. I've been working like mad revising the first three chapters of my novel to make it ready for it, and revising is my least favorite thing to do. At least it's some sort of writing, though. Speaking of "some sort of writing," I came across this awesome article yesterday all about advice for teenage writers. [http://whatever.scalzi.com/2006/04/27/10-things-teenage-writers-should-know-about-writing/, if you want to check it out.]

Okay, I think I'm going to watch some Psych episodes, then do some more revising.

Snowed in-edly yours,

H

A new blog? Really Hannah? REALLY?

Yes really, logical part of me.
So here goes nothing.
My name is Hannah. I'm fifteen, and will be sixteen on May 21st. I almost never leave my house. I like to read, write, and be lazy. I'm a junior in high school, and can't wait to go to college.
I suck at talking about myself.
One of my absolute favorite things to do is dance around in my underwear. Well, underwear and a t-shirt. I don't like to see too much of my stomach, thank you very much. I'll listen to pretty much anything, but I'm not that big a fan of screamo. Which is totally contradictory to my life goal, which is to be able to "sing" screamo. It'd be totally shocking, since I'm this average mousy girl who likes to wear cute clothes that are usually not black.
I have issues with people. There are people I love [very few] and there are people I hate [more than the people I love] and there are people I like. There are no people I trust fully. The quote that basically describes me is "I don't hate people, I just feel better when they're not around." Charles Bukowski said that, who is someone that I absolutely adore. His poem "How to be a Writer" is one of my absolute favorites, which is really saying something because I'm not really that big a fan of poetry.
I'm very indecisive, but once I make my decision, that's it. No changing it. Of course, I might decide I love you one day and won't hear a bad word about you, but the next day you do something to piss me off and all I want to do is trash talk you to my friends. I'm a Gemini on the cups of Taurus, what can I say? Being a bit stubbornly two-faced is in my nature.
Loyalty is something that with me, never wavers. I don't tell secrets. I will defend my friends to the grave. I'd sacrifice myself to help them out in a second, never even giving a second thought to it.
My parents are crazy. My mother is more like my daughter, and my father is an asshole who I can hardly stand, and then feel guitly about not being able to stand him. I have two younger sisters, Emma, who is thirteen, and Olivia, who is ten. Emma is absolutely boy crazy, and loves to know if boys are "hot" or if they "smell good." Olivia likes to throw temper tantrums when she doesn't get her way, and likes to boss Emma around. Emma and Olivia fight constantly, which drives me insane, but I usually stay out of it or just yell at them and tell them to shut the hell up. Despite how much they annoy me sometimes, they can be quite sweet and I love them.
Most of my friends live in the computer, or my head. I live on a small little sucky island, and most of my friends live off said small little sucky island, so I talk to them on IM almost every day. [Here's your shout out, Jessie.] The friends in my head are the characters I create for my stories, and yes, they do talk to me and comment on my day-to-day life. It's both hugely annoying and hugely entertaining.

I think that's enough for now, don't you? Your turn! Tell me a bit about yourselves, ladies and gentlemen!
