Life! Oh Life…
I keep saying I’ll update frequently, but I’m such a procrastinator, even with my hobbies!
Life has been moving along nicely for me, I suppose. School’s started; I’m already in my fourth week of classes. My Investing professor is driving me nuts, but most of my classes are rather simple and unstressful. Media Arts has been hectic, though. I had to step outside a lot of my comfort zones in order to complete our first project…namely, use a DV camera instead of my own digital one. What’s worse? We had to edit it on-camera…no post-editing work allowed! It was nuts! But it’s done and handed in. I helped out Ed and Dana’s projects too, so I got to be in three films. XD Haha, my prof is going to be sick of seeing my face.
I’m hard at work with TPE editing. I made the decision to get rid of two characters, who incidently were very important and had a lot of dialogue. Sooo, I had to move things around, change people’s powers/roles…urgh. It was crazy. But I’m nearly done! 
Kel couldn’t film anything this weekend but next weekend should work out for the first scene of episode one!
I moved my furniture around in my room yesterday and its still a mess (b/c of homework diverting my attentions of course), but I really like the layout now. It seems larger. After tidying up the mess, my next target is my closet…I want to condense, simplify and organize my living space. XD
I also attempted to work on The Manigoldo. Eh…I added a few paragraphs, not much. :\ The beginning of stories are never my strongest, strangely. I want to get this published within a few years (haha, I know, yeah right), so I have to get moving on it soon.
And did I mention that I want to start working on Smiley (the comic) now? *headdesk* Yeah. I think I have Creative A.D.D..
RANDOM STORY: Surfing the web always gets me to interesting sites or information. In case you didn’t know, I despise organized religions. I mean, I don’t care what you believe spiritually, but organized religious groups piss me off for a lot of reasons. So, while reading up on a blog I sometimes frequent, I realized the author was LDS…more commonly known as Mormon (lolChris). I had always thought they were just another branch off Christian group. To my surprise, I found out a lot of info from sites all over the web which led me to one real conclusion:
Holy fuck those guys are nuts.
Lol, like wow. I was blown away. They now top my list of crazy-ass religious cults, Scientology being number one and Mormons now a close second. People can believe whatever they want, but geez…when your religious ideals start to reflect back on me, my life, or somehow even interfere with my life…then I have issues with you. But, meh. Not really my concern right now.
Well, I got to go finish an essay for English and then hopefully get back to cleaning my room. Aaand I just remembered I had an unrelated English assignment too. Toodles!

Summer…
Sitting here, using the new laptop I got for college to play Pokemon and write comic scripts. Yeah. It’s summer.
I should be working on the scripts for TPE, my current film project, but no. I really need to get my work ethic back, considering Kel’s leaving in twenty four days…yeah, this is going to be a problem. I also need to redye my hair. -_- It grows fast, so my roots are coming in like you wouldn’t believe. I had to dye my hair bright blond for the project, you see. Now I just have to get the will power in me to get moving again. Sigh.
This is what I hate most about summer. It zaps my will power and drive to do things, which isn’t good, since I always have one crazy plan up my sleeves. I think I’m going to talk to my friend Dawn about getting more filming done (she’s like, co-director, though not officially. She can really get stuff done fast.)
Nothing else really to say, other than beach trip (hopefully!) next week. It’ll be our last big hoorah as a big group before we go our separate ways for college. At least til winter break, of course.
Kel, I’m gonna miss you. D: Thank goodness for the Internet!

A fresh start
This is not my first blog, nor is it my first attempt to make one here on this webpage. I always fail to be a regular poster and never seem to have much to write about, simply because I’m seeking to write about something interesting. Well, I’ve decided. I’m heading into college next month and I’m facing more change in my life than I ever have before; this seems like a good time to write everything down. From the menial to the extreme.
An introductory post seems fitting right now.
My name is Becca (or Becky, or Beck or even Bearclaw (though I would like it if you just stick to Becca)). I’m eighteen years old and am about to become a film student at Temple University. I’ve lived in Philly my whole life, but in the suburbs, mind you.
I’m an avid writer and thinker who loves stories/movies with meaning. I plan on editing movies one day as a career and maybe branching out into screenplay writing. Currently, I’m working with friends in an indie production group of ours, H5 Productions. Check us out if you like humor and drama combinations.
Growing up, I was raised Catholic, but in the last year, I’ve finally stepped up for myself and removed myself from the religion. I’m, if anything, agnostic. I just don’t believe religions are healthy or appropriate; faiths, however, are. Believe whatever you want; just don’t push your god on me.
I love arguing, watching movies, writing, hanging with friends, web design, history, music and learning. I love to bake and I’ve played the violin for (almost) nine years. I suffer from insomnia and anxiety. I complain a lot but its generally just for conversationally purposes; I don’t actually mean what I say. (XD) I want to learn French and Japanese fluently, so I can visit relatives and old family origins someday. Politically speaking, I suppose you’d label me democratic. I have a cat named Ninja. I’ve always wanted an Irish Wolfhound when I get my own place. Maybe a Pug too. I enjoy philosophy and can become very defensive and argumentative, but I’m rather silly at times, too.
My biggest dream I’ll never accomplish due to mental limitations, but if I could wish for anything? Aliens. Here. Now. Kthxbai.
There are tons of things I could say about myself, but I hope this intro helps you to understand who I am and what to expect from me.
Right now, I’m going to attempt to go to bed. >< I still haven’t gotten to a doctor about my lack of sleep. I think that might need to become a priority soon.
Best wishes,
Becca
