fragments from a derailed train of thought

☼18 MAY
Welcome back, girls!
Settle into your cabins and then make your way to dinner at the mess hall where Circe will formally welcome everyone back. Afterwards, Xanthe's throwing a little welcome-back party of her own at the caves. It can be a dangerous hike out there and back to the main shore at night {especially if you're not quite sober}. Take care and go in pairs, as Keto would say!

STORY COMING SOON!
(Bam is probably going to attempt to read a book in the corner...I have a feeling that wont go so well for her. Comment for inclusion~)

New showcase? New showcase.
 
(Title is a quote by Carl Sagan)

I have so many collections in my drafts right now for characters I made when I was, like, ten. Luna's one of them. Most of this is clothes, instead of character...Oops.

☼ Bamboo "BAM"
age; 15
god/goddess parent; Athena
likes; constellation maps, mathematics, coconut jellybeans
bio; Bam's brilliant, but that's hardly surprising given who her mother is. She's attended Circe's for four summers now, and each and every summer, it's her cabin that wins the Cabin Wars. That's no coincidence. Bam happens to be a clever strategist as well as a gifted spearman. Nothing quite so dangerous as a cunning warrior. She also happens to be Lykopis' favourite pupil. Bam's own spear was given to her by her mother as a reward for completing a quest, and she carries it on her back at almost all times. She also tends to have at least one book under arm, if not two or three. Presently, Bam is occupying her spare time with building an incredibly detailed mini {though it's still as long as the staff cabin} replica of the Parthenon entirely out of sand as a sort of homage to her mother. She's been steadily recruiting both campers and the native nereids to help her complete the project on the beach of the eastern inlet before summer's end.

As foothills move our mountains
Our fault lines are accounted
As our continents divide...
(Continents Divide ~ Bruce Hornsby)
 
On this episode of why am I still awake...I kid, of course. I'm feeling really mad at myself right now and I think I may have a cold. Ugh. This set is probably awful, but I'm far too asleep to notice anything right now.
 
Enough about me, here's my audition for Camp Circe! Huzzah! I'll try and flesh everything out when I wake up tomorrow. I'll hopefully be in a better mood by then.
 
EDIT: Nope, still frustrated ugh

COLLECTION
http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/collection?id=2531421

All my dreams
And all this stuff
All made real...
(The Fountain ~ Pendulum)
 
I've officially forgotten how to make sets in my usual style for this challenge. Ugh. Regardless, I have exam week coming up this week, so I probably wont be on much. But on the bright side, only a week until I fly home!
 
Also, the story may be delayed further because I'm kind of stuck with the plot for this one. I know that I want to have a lot of foreshadowing in it and I have the story's ending all written up, but the general plot is giving me problems. D:
 
(The collection is over here if you want to follow the story: http://www.polyvore.com/stange_life_ariana_phoebe_dockery/collection?id=1832612)

The title is one of my favorite quotes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Ugh, I'm rewatching it right now and I just have so many feels. Why do you hurt me like this, Joss Whedon?
 
Going home in less than two weeks now! I am more than ready for the summer to begin, but I have to wade through finals first. Gross.
 
And who else is super frustrated by all the notifications of people liking your items? It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to figure out how to disable it.
 
I finally finished the fifth part of the Doctor Who Companion Challenge! I had to edit it down a lot so polyvore would let me publish it. Oops. If you like the story so far, tell me if you want me to publish it on another site so I can write longer stories, or if you like it the way it is now. And thank you in advance for any input!

And no rivers and no lakes, can put the fire out
I'm gonna raise the stakes; I'm gonna smoke you out
Seven devils all around you
Seven devils in your house...
(Seven Devils ~ Florence + The Machine)
 
Oh wow this is a dark set. Oops. It's weird, because all of my drafts are super dark and I'm in a great mood. The weather has finally warmed up around here and I have less than three weeks until I fly home. I just feel like skipping with joy.
 
Wishing everyone who reads this a great day!

Nobody said it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard
Oh, take me back to the start...
(The Scientist ~ Coldplay)
 
More draft cleaning, yay! Ugh, this set is pretty gross, but I've had it sitting around in my drafts for way too long in several combination and it never seems to work out the way I want it to. It just seems so busy. I like the color scheme, though...
 
And I'm totally using this to procrastinate on my Earth Systems project. Whoops.
 
The whole set is somewhat inspired by retro-futuristic/turn-of-the-century science and nostalgia for something I've never known. And it makes me really want to visit the Müter Museum.

It's coming
Wait for it
Redawning
No contest...
(Meyrin Fields ~ Broken Bells)
 
Lazy set to match my lazy mood. Ugh. There are only a few weeks left in the year and I'm super anxious to go home and enjoy the summer. But, of course, there are several essays and the joy of finals week to look forward to before I can start any of that.
 
This is another set for my 100 Songs challenge I set for myself. The colors and design are inspired by the cover art for the Meyrin Fields EP by Broken Bells, but I don't feel the mood of the set reflects the mood of the song. Arg.
