Your Heart is an Empty Room

I don't know why I put the title as a Death Cab song when I'm listening to Muse, but whatever. So the weekend was fun. Kass turned 17 and I got drunk. I met Kass' friend Colin (which makes me have a whole new view towards people named Colin - Janelle's Colin is kind of a whiner) who Caitlyn has a crush on.
I got to plan where I wanted to go in Europe this summer. It is looking like Italy. I kind of wanted to go to Ireland, and I told Tammy this, but she had her heart set on Italy. Since I'm not paying for any of it, I guess it's fair that she gets to choose. I have to tell her what I want to do in Italy. I have some work to do.
So spring break is in four days. My grandma is going to Saskatchewan for two and a half weeks, and I'm pretty much alone (I don't really count Michael, he doesn't really come down from the attic anyways). Laura and Caitlyn have both said they wanted to come down from Sherwood Park and stay here (Laura to see her friends and Caitlyn just to hang out here I guess) for a couple days. I'm planning to have a party, but I have to play it on the sly. Grama said she didn't want any drinking (sorry, but that's gonna happen whether or not she wants it to), drugs (as if any of us would anyways) or sex (I wouldn't want to be around anyone who's having sex... AHEM SUSAN AND CHRIS) in the lame way that adults do. I just have to find a way to trick Michael into not coming downstairs while we're all drinking.
Good news : I am getting over my cold. I figure it'll be a couple more days and I'll be healthy again. My throat is fixed. It's just the runny nose and coughing that are still bothering me. Being around all that smoke at John's house didn't help either, but I'll get over it. Oh my, and my no tobacco pledge! Kidding, I didn't smoke anything, so secondhand smoke doesn't count, does it? Nah.
More good news: I am very quickly coming up with storylines for my second novel. I know, I know, I haven't finished the first one completely, but there are many deciding factors. I have to be in Sherwood Park (and I know I won't be there for at least a week and a half), I have to print 109 pages (paper and ink become a problem here) and that's pretty much all. After I have it printed out, I think I can manage to revise and edit it, add all the new scenes I've been talking about and so on. I will make a timeline for myself to follow (for planning and then writing). Actually the writing is pretty easy. Once it's all separated into scenes, I just write one scene a day until it's finished. At least that's how I did JF and that was done in under two months. Of course, I did take a six month break between writing it and rewriting it. Oh well. That's just how I fly.

I will have to catch up on my homework during spring break. That blows. But whatever.
