I started Kieran's story (Rewind) last night. Made it 500 words before I got distracted by trying to decide if I should make his mother Irish.

Someone please tell I'm not the only one who bounces about in their seat when they listen to the Glee version of Bust A Move.

Lisa! Sweet Caroline is MY JAM. I had the biggest crush on Mark Salling the first season! I heard that irl he's mean, so I don't have a huge crush on him now. I still like him, though.

yep, i thought about just editing it/finishing it when i realized I could make it so much better if i changed the whole thing to first person. I never thought to do that before because i had 2 MC's that both needed there stories and thought told but i realized i'm going to alternate Chapter pov's and already figured out the most amazing Title chapter system.

I really want to write a short story. Only problem is, I have way too many ideas in my head. T____T; I have nooooo idea which one to work on. :/ Though I suppose I could finish my super dark and angry story that I am terrified to look at ever again.
