Horrifying
All the more reason to know exactly what you're doing before signing on with a publisher. I'm disgusted, but not surprised:
Vampire Diaries author fired from writing her own books.
Yep. That's what it means to write young adult books "for hire." I wrote a paper for a class back in 2008 about this very issue and its ties to product placement. And the nonsense keeps on coming.

Oh yeah...
In case you didn't notice from the gigantic pictures of me in the last post, my hair has got a bunch o' pink highlights now, thanks to Shannon.
Adventures in Aberdyfi!
Yesterday, Shannon and I took a day trip to Aberdyfi (commonly Anglicized as "Aberdovey"), since we plan on doing some adventuring in Snowdonia National Park, and wanted to get a taste for the area. That, and I've just always wanted to go to Aberdyfi. We took the train from Aberystwyth to Machynlleth, where we switched to another line.
From there, it was a straight shot to the lovely seaside town of Aberdyfi, on the edge of Snowdonia National Park!
To the beach! The red flag is flying; no swimming in the frigid water for you, young lady!
We spent the day collecting shells on the beach, sampling the menus of several cafes, popping into boutiques, and hiking in the surrounding hillside. Oh, and missing our train. That was fun, too.
A successful adventure, I'd say.

Note to Self
Do NOT debate religion (or, more accurately, debate about debating about religion) on the Internet. I need a hug.

Picnickin' and such
Hey all! Wondering what I've been doing? Excited to learn about all the recent hijinks I've been up to? All the adventures being had? SHAME ON YOU. I'm a STUDENT, people! I spend my time in diligent research and study, never succumbing to the allure of living in a new, exciting place with cheap booze and gorgeous countryside!
Naw, I'm a terrible student, giving honors students and scholarship recipients everywhere a bad name.
Yesterday, Shannon and I had a picnic by the old castle and WWII memorial, where we were stalked by seagulls and froze our hands nearly off. The sun was deceptive, as wind off the Irish Sea in February is shockingly chilly (who'da thunk?). Nevertheless, it was fun. Then we went into Stars, the greatest costume/party/random shit store of all time, where we drooled over everything and bought nothing. Bow before the power of our self-restraint!
Yes, and then we went and partied our brains out. By which I mean we went home and watched TV. It was a good day.
