Writers 

Defined as - a person who has written a particular text.

But to be more specific, what is a writer? 

First - A writer is a person able to use words as an extension of themselves.
  • When they write they can make their reader see what they were picturing in their minds
  • They can make you feel emotions from just a couple words 
  • They allow you to go places without leaving the comfort of your own home

A writer will spend their whole life researching data for their works be it fictional or non-fictional. 
  • They pull all-nighters just to do research for a paper or an article 
  • Sometimes they spend hours in the library looking through book after book about one topic just to see all the different sides of it
  • They research in all sorts of ways be it books, articles, people, computers, off their phones and many other way

They surround themselves with their work. They connect their work to everyday things. 
  • They'll see someone on the street and connect them to their work
  • Signs will remind them of parts of their work and it will fuel them to finish their work
  • Some forces of nature will spark their imagination

Post 2: Get Mad!

A list of the little things that annoy me-

  • The fact they don't have a ''my kid graduate high school with out getting pregnant' bumper stickers
  • Birds that start singing at like 6 in the morning 
  • People that drive around you just to go like 10 under the speed limit
  • The noise of spoons or forks hitting a plate when people eat
  • New parents who think they can still go out partying 

Okay, lets talk birds. These evil little feathered creatures that think 'oh well i'm awake I minus well wake everyone in the flipping neighborhood.; I mean come on! Seriously! I know I have to get up, so don't wake me 30 minutes before my alarm goes off!! And its not just one bird. The Whole Flipping Bird Species Has To Join In Too!!! Monday's I have to get up at 7 and help around the house and with my nephew, who's 3 years old (you know that age where he's your alarm clock), and then go to my class at 11. I DO NOT NEED TO BE UP AN HOUR EARLY! Just because the baka of a bird has to let its voice be heard. I mean i'm all for speaking up for stuff but the birds just do it to wake us up. I'm serious, if you start yelling at a bird it yells back at you! They are evil little feathered creatures who fly and have the most annoying voice on the planet!

Post 1: Confession Time; Kono yoi no watashi no warui kusedesu

"kono yoi no watashi no warui kusedesu" 
Good afternoon, this is my bad habit.

One of the worst bad habits I ever had was my addiction to Anime. Anime is Japanese cartoons that come on at 12 o'clock at night and doesn't go off till 3:30 in the morning. I would stay up all night on schools nights and go into school just to end up asleep in my first class. It started in my last year of elementary school and slowed down my junior year of high school. 
My mom would go to bed hearing me say "I'm gonna finish my homework then go to bed, love you. Good Night." When in reality I was thinking 'I'm gonna keep my books out for another 30 minutes in case she gets up and turn the TV on Adult Swim.' Adult Swim is a very 'adult' show that would play different animes each night on a regular bases and I learned the timing so well that I was able to turn the TV on right when the Anime started. 
It got to the point that my friends knew the schedule almost as good as I did for which shows were on. Some of them worried I wasn't getting enough sleep and would help me rest in class, by pairing up with me or letting me copy notes. In the end I knew I had to change something because my grades were slipping and I got my first C in English. The one class I always passed with flying colors was now my lowest grade. My teacher asked to to stay after class one day because she was worried about me. I told her I was fine that I had some personal problems to deal with and that by the time we got our report cards I would have an A again. 
I then asked my friends for help. I told them to text me as late as they could to check if I was up watching the anime shows and if I was t threaten to call my mom and tell her, ya the 'i'm telling your mom' may be old but hey she brought me into this world and she's not afraid of taking me out. Next I told my friends to make sure I stay awake in class and take my own notes. I knew if I took my own notes I'd be able to stay awake due to my strange way of note taking, I have never used a pencil to take notes, like eve, it's always pens and highlighters, I find it easier to remember everything if it's in color. 
By the time we got our Report Cards I had an A. Some of my other grade even went up. My teacher was proud of me and so was I. I don't watch it nearly as much now, thou I have a 3 year old living with me to make it that much harder, but nonetheless I've calmed down. Every so often I will stay up on Saturday to watch it a little. It's been a very long time since I've watched it all but I'll catch one or two shows. Anime is still a part of my life but it's not as big a piece. 
...now I may need to slow down on my reading of Mangas,Japanese graphic novels, but who know I guess we'll see.
