So, today, I woke up and was like this. Right down to the unbrushed hair and Dortios--it was like I randomly bought the bag three days ago because my subconscious KNEW I'd use this GIF:

So I begrudgingly do 4 Spanish lessons and 2 Math lessons. By 5:00 P.M., I still feel horrible for no apparent reason.

...And then I call my friend. O_O And I turn into this:

Aaaaaaand now I'm back to feeling like the first two GIFs. I'm horribly horribly sad and groggy and lonesome and I don't know why. And in the last hour, I've gone from angry to sad to sadder to happy to sad to amused to angry to happy back to sad and dlsngfjbsfljgnlkfsngflkngslkng...

I'm sorry, but a million things just ran through my mind all at one time when I read that, thus stunning me for a moment. Such things include:

~ An adult is reading my story, oh my gosh, I hope they don't hate it! ;w;
~ My book. Mentioned in an article. An ARTICLE. O_O :'D What?! What now?!?
~ Wait, it's an AUSTRALIAN article...hmmm.... :^J *ponders the differences between the American and Australian printed media*
~ OH MY GOSH I HAVE TO EDIT, I HAVE TO EDIT, THE PROLOGUE IS STILL HORRIBLE OH MY GOSH!
~ I really really really need to hurry up and decide on a pen name, then. X_X
~ I HAVE TO TELL MY DAD ABOUT THIS OH MY WORD. :'D But it's past midnight...oh. Well, I'll tell him about it when he wakes up, then.
~Wait, nothing's finalized...o_o Way to put the plow in front of the oxen, Ash.
~Is it a magazine? A newspaper? If so, is it for a local town or a whole general province? :3 I'm immensely curious, now! :D


In a nutshell: Um...uhh...um....errr......my gosh, Max, I'd love to know my story is featured in any sort of article! ^_^ But I need to think about this for a day or so. You know, talk to my dad about it, straighten things up story-wise, get my new pen name down, and look up some legalities. (Not that I NEED to look up any legalities, I'm just curious. :^J )

kjdfhskdjfbkjbsdfjkb 8D I'm on cloud nine, now. Thank you SO much for this opportunity, Max!!! I'll get back to you with a final answer as soon as possible! What's this magazine/newspaper called? And what's your dad's friend's name? Is he writing an article about KidPub and wants to mention some stories, or interviewing you and your writing and you want to mention WOT? Or something completely different?

The newspaper is called The Sunday Age :D My dad's friend's name is John Elder. He is writing an article about me and KidPub and you and Tygerblossum, I got interviewed via phone a couple of hours ago :P Your penname will be shown and he will finish it up by this Saturday or Sunday (so, Friday or Saturday for you <:^J) If you do accept this opportunity, will we use Ashley E. Wolf? It's for Melbourne, Victoria. Daily readership: 500,000. www.theage.com.au/ :D And you will be told about (not you, but your story) online and MAYBE newspaper :P You will get about 3 days at the max to come up with a option and then, we will do the article (not me, John :P)

Sounds good? :D

Oh, wow, Max, both you and Tyger? That's wonderful! :D Don't let me and my mediocre book hog the limelight, here! ^_^ You deserve this more than I do, anyway--not to mention you're Australian and I'm not, so... XD

If I accept, I'll be using my new pen name.

Whole of Australia...*whistles* o.o Eh, I don't mind if it's not in print--just knowing it's out there somewhere makes me happy. :3 Though you and Tyger need to be both in print and online! O_O We cannot let such Aussie talent go unnoticed!

Three days should be more than enough time. :^J

Congrats on your interview, Max!!!! ^__^

WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER HIMMMMM. >:I

Anyways, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. :C I hate it when my moods flip-flop around. *hugs*
xD Isn't it so much fun to spin around in desk chairs whenever your talking on the phone? 8D
Congrats on the interview, though! What pen name are you going to pick?

It's okay. I'm feeling better today. <:^J A little, at least. XD And yes, it IS fun.

Hey, congratulate Max, not me. ;) He's the one getting the interview; I'm just going to be mentioned somewhere in the article. I'm leaning towards Ashley Briarwolf, just because I like how it sounds.

:D Yay!
Ooooh Ashley Briarwolf. MEH GUSTA. :D

More people voted for Ashley Ivywolf, but...I don't know. The v and the y and the w all together looks kind of funny to me. :^/ But I do like how it sounds, too. ^_^

I've watched a couple episodes, and I liked the show, but since Netflix only has the first three, that's all I've seen.

God I sound like a undeserving brat, but you- you're so- you just turn away, flip your hair, and act like nothing happened. This is how I feel ALL THE TIME. Like a lost puppy, trying to fit in. That's all. That- what you aid about yourself- it isn't true. You branched out to me, you were so kind to me, and you deserve to be more appreciated than most people I know. So, it isn't you. It isn't. It's everything else, turning around, ignoring, and I just want scream at their backs: I'm here too! Look at me! I can exist!
But it isn't that people don't pay attention to me even. It focuses on the pure fact that I need friendship, attention, and that even when my friends have to go talk about something privately, I feel this pain, because I'm not there. And I hate that pain, because it's their business, but I hate to admit it o myself. you are an awesome person, don't say you don't deserve friendship, because you do. Don't admit we have things to worry about, because y'know, we're in denile.



(Okay that last part didn't make sense, but y'know, you ended with an reference, so....)

First: Yeah, Mira alerted me to that. But really? You think those are the ONLY TWO PEOPLE WHO WOULD CARE? Ha. Haha. Hahaha. Hahahaha! HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAH NOOOOO. :P I would care. Mira would care, E, K, H, M, your parents and your brother, your teachers, pretty much everyone you know would care if you.... yeah. Even the guys, and that's saying something. They only rely on me for pencils, anyways... Jordan said I should start a business. /facepalm

Second: Um, since when did I say you wanted the universe to notice you? And if it's not what I said it was, then what it is? What can I do? I want to get you out of this, Soph. Really. You don't deserve to feel like this, I know because I've felt like it too many times before and it's a right s--- feeling. Please, PLEASE let me know what I can do. And denile is not JUST a river in Egypt.

(The last sentence was completely random except for the fact that it was semi-replying to your second-to-last sentence.)

If you need to talk about anything....I'm here. *hugs*

Well..... I suppose it might make me feel better. My friends tend to spread rumours about me behind my back and then they ditch me and the they tell me I look bad or there's something wrong with me... like, I have these freckly things on my neck and they're really not noticable half the time but I still get self conscious about it but my friends seem to find the need to tell me that they're massive and I should get them check out because they might be cancerous. I always feel like I'm gonna cry then because my family has been fairly prone to cancer in my life and I have lost a few to it and I want to tell them but whenever I do they tell me I'm putting on an act and I just don't know what to do and sometimes I get so angry I say something I shouldn't and then they get all tetchy towards me. They won't speak to me and they won't go near me and they mutter things behind my back but they don't know I'm really just around the corner. Then I go home and straight away I'm all angry with my mum because I've had a bad day and then we have and arguement so then she won't talk to me without an angry tone to
her voice and neither can I. But sometimes she understands but there's
nothing she can do about it. I've wanted to move schools but I'm too shy to do
that and it's a small school so I can't, you know, just meet new people. And if I hang out with other classes, it makes people feel the urge to do things even more. People like me, they laugh with me but they als laugh at me. I get told it's because I'm popular and they want to bring me down but I don't believe it.
I'm also self conscious about the ga in my teeth. I used to like it and say it's who I am but now I just want it gone because people look at me in photos and say,'look she's missing a tooth.' but it's really not that big and it just makes me feel so bad. Then I'm always getting teased because I have orange hair so I dye it with streaks to make me feel better, to get it attention for different reasons... but it doesn't work. They also tell me I'm fat but it's just muscle. I'm athletic so the muscles in my thighs are bid so I'm too scared to wear shortish shorts and then I get teased about that. They're petty things but they get me down after a while... That's my rant over.

I just wish that my acne would go away. i look around and all my friends look really pretty and i just wish that I could be like them. Then the boy that I like barely even knows I exist

Hey, Max! ^_^ I've decided it would be fine if John Elder features my book in the article, as long as he mentions it was written by me, Ashley Briarwolf, formerly known as Ashley E. Wolf. Be sure to give me a link to your interview when it gets posted, okay?
