Scotland!

My dad came home from his Scotland/Kentucky business trip. With souvenirs! \o/ I got a "Scottish Translation" shirt that says "Gonnie no dae that!" on the front, then "I would ask you to consider whether what you have just done (or are about to do) is the appropriate action to take in the current circumstances." HEEE! My sister got one that said "It wasnae me!" with some long, cute translation as well. *giggles*

And apparently he has to go back to Scotland next month. And the really big news is, if the dates don't interfere with my AP-test day, I MIGHT GET TO GO TOOOO!!!!!! Of course, this is just a minor possibility, and I don't even have my passport at the moment, so. BUT STILL!!!! The place he goes is just like, 45 min. outside of Glasgow, and he went sight-seeing there this past time! And it's SCOTLAND, so HELLO, I'M IN!!!

Apparently he also has pictures (we haven't looked yet) from a cave in Kentucky that I've actually been to before, but don't remember because I was like, 3. O.o Lived in Kentucky for a while, actually. I've lived in 5 different states so far, and then different houses/apartments within those 5 states. Which is... unusual? At least according to the people I hang out with, who've lived here their entire lives. LOL

in other news; test tomorrow which I haven't studied for, biology lunch wherein we bring foodstuffs that look like blood clots and the like (should be an interesting class tomorrow, to say the least), and woo, my piano book came in the mail today! got to figure out what exactly I'm going to play out of it, though.

OH, and something from LotR (the books, not the films): I came across a quote in book 5, chapter 2 -

"Good-bye!" said Merry. He could find no more to say. He felt very small, and he was puzzled and depressed by all these gloomy words. More than ever he missed the unquenchable cheerfulness of Pippin.

Does that not sound like how Dom has described Billy on multiple occasions? (paraphrasing) "He doesn't try to get happy, he just is happy." or something like that. And now I want to read some good Merry/Pippin fics... LOL

also also: wrote a bit of RunAway today, for the first time in forever. >.< I'm sorry I've been kinda distant lately. I haven't meant to be, it just happened that way. Actually... well, I'll save that for another post.

RunAway poll

And speaking of RunAway: for those of you on my f-list that read the fic, or just lurkers or whatever, I have a poll for you.

The info:

In my outline, I have it written out that two major events have to happen in this next chapter. So far, I've written only one of these events, which equals about half the chapter. Now, I can either post this as it is and leave this other event for a second chapter (meaning: you get the chapter very soon, but only half of it according to my plan), OR, I can keep working on this chapter until it's finished to my outline's standards (meaning: more waiting. sorry. >.<).

Another thing to consider: if I post this half-chapter now, I will probably not write a mostly-unnecessary chapter at the end. 1) because it honestly doesn't further the story much at all, 2) because I have no idea how to approach it, and 3) because it would probably put me over 60 chapters, and yes, I really am that neruotic. Even numbers are the best, people.

[Poll #947772]

please please please give me your opinions and input. seriously. also, feel free to ask any questions and for clarification or whatever. or just comment. because I love comments like I love all of you. ♥

another thing:

okay, this t-shirt from Scotland? SO SOFT. srsly, it must be the softest shirt I own now.
