but what if fate falls short

What if fate falls short?
If fate falls short, then the stitches are falling apart. If your life is a rag doll, then you have the pieces, but you can't piece them together. But if fate isn't there to stitch the pieces together, then what will happen? It seems impossible to do fate's job, but all the pieces are already there, so what is stopping you?
If fate falls short, then optimism is down the drain. If you can't believe that things will turn out okay in the end because fate has a plan, then there's little you can believe. How do you keep your spirits up?
If fate falls short, people will lose hope. Fate is perspective. Fate opens peoples' eyes to the pieces they already own to guide them in and out the stitches, winding in, winding out. So is fate just in the mind?

Perhaps fate only exists through the belief of others.

the turning point

I was sitting at home, pondering about the boredom of my everyday life (as per), when I started to think about a similar story line that both my favourite tv shows and my favourite books share. They all have that turning point in life, and it's all down to a person. It's when they all meet that person, and after meeting that person, nothing is ever the same. It is their life-changing person. In How I Met Your Mother, I reckon it's Barney. Where the hell would Ted be without Barney? He meets his wife at Barney's wedding! In Pretty Little Liars, it's obviously when the girls meet Alison. In Big Bang Theory, it's when Leonard and Sheldon meet Penny. Coming to books, in The Lost Art Of Keeping Secrets, it's when Penelope meets Charlotte. In The Sky Is Everywhere, it's when Lennie meets Joe. In Catcher In The Rye, I reckon it's when his brother dies, but that's different, because it obviously doesn't change for that better, but I think he's still waiting for his life changing person to come along with the turning point. In Looking For Alaska, it's Alaska. In The Perks Of Being A Wallflower, it's when Charlie meets Patrick and Sam.

Must I go on?

However, all these books & films we all enjoy so much, they always show you what happens when the usually annoying and often pathetic protagonist meets the life-changing turning point person. I haven't met that person yet, so my life can't become a book just yet. I'm still waiting. I know they exist. Books & films aren't conjured up out of nowhere, they're based off real life. A prime example is How I Met Your Mother, it's based off the writer's life. Just read the wikipedia page. Wikipedia isn't the answer, it's the question. The answer is, 'yes wikipedia is always right'.

rejection rejection rejection

I just received another rejection email, so I'm officially on submitting hiatus, since all magazines have hit their deadlines, rejected me, and are now on hiatus till autumn. I'm actually considering joining my school's creative writing club, so I can have some kind of achievement through my writing (though even that's doubtful)
20x20 magazine is open for submissions, and the meta-words are 'a serious game'. I have no idea what to write for that though, and I'm pretty sure it'll get rejected anyway, but I'll still be trying my best! (I have to get accepted one day)

I had my first day of work experience today, and I really enjoyed it, and felt lucky for my placement after reading my friends tweets about it being boring / tiresome, etc. Daycare is not tiresome. Ok, maybe continuously being asked to play tickle chase is a little tiring, but it's fun! I enjoy all the things I get to do, such as play outside and tell stories, but kids really over-do it! I told five stories in a row today, to the same adorable kid, and he interrupted me through every page to tell me something. There's a limit to what my throat can take!

So, yup. I just felt like posting, since I haven't in a while, enjoy non-existent readers, and check out my new lookbook post :)

Ex FF readers

I don't know how many of you will actually come to look at this, but oh well. I tried posting this on FanFiction but they deleted it. So here it is:

Hi guys :)

So as you know, I quit a while ago, but since there was only one chapter left to go for The Popularity Contest, I was going to finish. HOWEVER, I just received an email today telling me it's been deleted because it's not appropriate for all audiences. Er, what?

Thanks a bunch to whoever is responsible for this!

Anyway, I was wondering if any of you know if there's any way I can get the story back, if that makes sense? I don't have it saved anywhere, because I've had various computers, and it's been about 2 years since I started it, I think. I don't think I'll reupload as it's such a hassle, but I'd like to have a copy of MY story. So anyone know how I can do this, if I can?

I'm going to be really annoyed if I can't and emailing FanFiction to complain, bitches.

Thanks :)

the elbowing out of winter

Why is Winter the villain?
Why is summer the hero?
Winter brings smiles,
Winter brings presents,
Winter brings new birth.
Summer brings drought
Summer starves the flowers
Suffocates them
Winter gives them time to sleep
Winter replenishes souls
Winter is a time for baking,
For cuddling,
For woollen jumpers,
For scarves, hats and gloves,
Summer drains water out of the body
Summer brainwashes
Summer is the real enemy
The real enemy hides
Summer disguises itself
Elbows out winter
Winter is trying to save us.

tea time

We had another tea party of sorts with my auntie's family. I told my mum yesterday that I would not be baking anything for her because I'd be busy dying over and avoiding my revision. So she took this as an invitation to get me one of those 'ready-made/add an egg, that's it!' sets, you know the ones that include cake mix. I felt insulted, especially since she picked an ugly one. So I decided to take it as a challenge to completely change the mix. I used the cake mix, added cocoa power and made it into chocolate cupcakes. I'm more proud of the icing though, I took the icing sugar they provided, added in cocoa powder then added butter, and made it into butter icing! I was very proud. They looked great, tasted great, and my soul felt replenished after baking. I hate exams so much and I can't wait till they're over so I can spend my time doing things I enjoy such as bike-riding, baking and reading.
