Glow Worms and Lists* (*Not in that order)

I should stop writing posts when I am sleep deprived. For y'all's sakes.

Three things are plaguing me at the moment.

One, school starts Monday. I'm excited, but I'm also terrified. I'm especially terrified because I haven't been in a formal class room setting in... 4 years? (O_O <-Me at the thought) And what will these classes (and homework that comes with them) do to my writing and/or Twin time?

Two, my new glow poi. This is a good type of plaguing, mostly. So Daddy just got me some now glow poi, and I'm very excited about them. Hopefully they won't break like my last glow poi did. The only sadness is that it's entirely too hot to spin outside, even late at night after it's cooled off some, and the ceilings are too low in my house. *glares at ceilings* But I braved the heat to try them out earlier, and I pretty much love them to pieces. I can't wait to learn some new tricks!

Three, I think I'm getting sick. Again. I've never been one of those I-get-sick-every-other-week types, but I've gotten sick quite a few times this year. My thoughts on this: Hmph. Bleh. Grrr.

(Very deep thoughts, I know.)

Also, I've been writing lots recently. I'm having SO MUCH FUN with this story. Irish Mob FTW! I'll be sad when it is done, I can tell you that.

I'm going to bed. Maybe my sleep deprivation is what is making me sick. (Insert an "I told you so" from my mother here. >.>)

But first, answer me this:

Does "Optimizing Your Illuminated Lifestyle" sound like a guide to glow poi or a self-help book for glow worms?

Twin Moment of the Day... We both had some quality Molly time today.

On My Mind... What a self-help book for glow worms might be titled.

Listening to... "Downpour" by Backstreet Boys

Grateful for... My sister Kirsten. She's just sort of awesome. If you knew her, you would wish you had one too.

Writing... Selfish!! :D

Appreciation

So, Authoress went and wrote this list of things she's thankful for. (I was on it. Being on it made me very happy. I even tweeted about it, because tweeting is the ultimate way to show your happiness. ;p)

I decided I wanted to make one too.

Writerly thankful list:

1. I am thankful for my wonderful writer friends that are supportive whenever I need it.
2. I'm thankful for all the story ideas I think up every day.
3. I am thankful for all the not-teen authors out there who support teen authors, like Authoress.

Non-writerly thankful list:

1. I'm thankful for my adorable nephews and niece, even if they may drive me crazy sometimes.
2. I'm thankful for delicious foods...
3. ...and the wonderful people around me who make me want to like the foods that are not so delicious.
4. I'm thankful for chocolate. And hugs. And sunshine(not sunshine that comes with 100 degree weather, the other sunshine).

I think people should make these lists more often. So many people, myself included, are so ungrateful most of the time. So... I'm gonna add another thing to my thingamajig.

Twin Moment of the Day... We both love cats. The nice kind, not the snotty kind.

On My Mind... How to make my adorable niece Molly a happy camper.

Listening to... "Innocence" by Avril Lavigne

Grateful for... My sister. She was sort of under #3 on the second list. But she's wonderful, basically all the time.

Wanting to... Plot Unnamed Other Story.

Writing... Um... not CotL. *shifty look*
