Sweet. Freaking. Zombie brains. That concert was awesome. Seriously, ohmygoodness. Kelsey and I had such a super time. Even though she forgot her glasses. Dawww poor kelseh cannot see without them but never wears em' because they give her headaches. X3

Erm anywho. I was really tired all day. Scared myself awake in math, it was so weird. Accursed falling sensation and it's vile powers.

I disagreed with my creative writing teacher for the first time today. She's being rather uppity about the difference between mood and emotion. Emotion is purveying the characters own feeling to the reader, and mood is giving the reader an emotion. That's pretty much spot on. (I think) But she was wanting us to write a story that displayed a feeling, and then had us write a prologue. What got me miffed was that she insisted we were all creating moods instead of feelings in our first stories, and that we weren't supposed to be. I disagree with that, I think good writing gives a mood while telling a characters feeling, this makes the reader feel the same as the character. Of course you wouldn't want vice versa, giving non-existent characters emotion. And I suppose only being able to set a mood when there are characters involved would be difficult. But I think a better exercise would be to have a character feeling a different emotion than the mood sets. I dunno. I didn't enjoy ti because I feel the into ruined my writing. It was very unnecessary and an excess. And because I was writing in "filler mode" It sets absolutely no mood whatsoever. It's a terrible bit of forced writing that I had to turn in rather than turning in the actually story which has a steaming pile of emotions and moods in it.

Guh. Rant. Pardon me.
