Alright, I know I haven’t written in awhile but as I have said before, I haven’t had much inspiration and I have been getting ready for India. Speaking of India, I’m on the flight there right now! Yeah, yeah, I know that I can’t use the internet on a flight; I’m posting this later on, obviously. So it hasn’t really hit me yet. Even when my mom was literally in tears when she said good-bye to me today. She even put a card in my carry-on luggage, she is so cheesy. But it is cute, and I know I’m going to be doing the exact same thing when I’m a mom. Whenever that is.
So yeah, I’m not even an hour in on this seven plus ride to France, then we’re getting on another flight to Chennai. It’s going to be crazy intense. Maybe if I get internet in France I’ll post this. That will be interesting. So I have also started my India blog, but I decided since I haven’t posted on OR in awhile I would choose this one first. The India blog is: syaindia2008.blogspot.com. So my faithful few who are still reading can go check that out as well. Just when you comment don’t mention this blog. I told my mom about the India blog, it is mostly for her, but I haven’t told her about this one. Nor do I ever plan on telling her. Haha.
So I don’t really know what else to write. I think I’m going to write a story. I was going to do that originally but I felt awkward starting it with the people next to me possibly reading over my shoulder. Haha. They could be reading this right now. But yeah, the story would start oddly, that’s why. But I think I’ll start that right now. So talk to you later. Next time you hear from me I’ll be in India!!!
Much Love,

Where Have I Been?
Okay, you may be wondering where I have been this past week or so. I usually write a lot more than this. But to tell you the truth I have been writing more! But not blog posts, stories. I have found this new site that I can put my short stories up on and get comments on them. It is really cool. I love it.
Since I do not like to have my family or friends read my stuff that often it is very good for me. I do not know these people and they are honest. I have been getting some good reviews too, which makes me quite happy. I have also been entering "contests" in which you often have to write a story with a certain scenario. Which gives me some well needed inspiration. For I often, as my readers know, do not know what to write about. On that subject! No one has told me what they would want me to write about yet!
Haha, well that's pretty much all I have to say now. Not much is happening, as usual... India in 18 days!!! Wooh!!! I'm very excited for that. I probably won't be writing when I initially get there, just to warn you. I also, as mentioned before, will have an India blog which will get most of my attention. So yeah... not much else.... so I guess that's it for today.
Much Love,

P.S. I know that three out of the four comments on my last post were by the same person. I'd like to know who this mysterious person is because they seem to have taken a liking to my blog. I also know this person is a Facebook friend of mine, though I haven't a clue who it is. Just to let you know mysterious blog reader of mine. :) Thanks for reading!

Fine, Shoot Them Down. That Won't Stop Me.
Alright, I've found my inspiration for a new post. But, if you still want to give me an idea for next time 'round. Feel free to comment with it. Now, on to my inspiration. That happened mere minutes ago and caused me to come here to my room and blog about it.
So, last year, I was thinking film would be the area of career in which I would enter. I'm a story-teller, you see, and film, it was the first form of storytelling that comes to mind. But recently I have been leaning toward theater and just plain old writing. I feel like I would fit in more with that line of business than film.
Okay, so my grandmother is over and I was sitting and talking with her and my Mom. My Mom mentions that she recently met some woman with connections to one of the colleges I want to go to, but with the film program. So I informed her, for the millionth time, that I do not want to do film anymore. I would like to do theater. And she did not seem happy about that.
She told me that I won't make any money in theater. That only a few people do. But I personally think it doesn't have anything to do with money, it has to do with doing something you enjoy. But then again, they pay all this money for me to go to a private school so I ought to get a good paying job. At least that is how my mother and my step-father think.
So then my grandmother chimes in, telling me about how my mother wanted to be a dancer but she wouldn't let her for the same reasons my mother is against theater. My mom could have been a fricken Rockette and she is shooting down my dreams!
I just don't get it! Why would she do the same thing her mother did to her? She didn't get to follow her dreams, why won't she let me follow mine? It is very frustrating. Well, they are just going to have to deal with it. I'm going into whatever field of business I want. And they don't have to like it! They should want me to be happy. And money doesn't but happiness.
That is all I have to say about that.
Much Love,
