My creativity knows no bounds...

...unless I've got a deadline. I'm entering a film maker's contest through the local library so I can get some use out of my new camcorder and I'm just completely devoid of ideas. Well, I have loads of ideas, just none that will fit with the theme, "M is for Mystery" (my goodness what a horrible theme), or with what I have available to me (limited transportation and only me as an actor since nobody seems eager to participate.). There's a week and a half left for me to film and edit, so I gotta get jumpin' on it, but my brain just isn't coming up with any genius ideas. Crazy annoying because I know that if I didn't have a deadline, I'd be a film idea maven.

The big story for tonight, though (not my hamsters, sorry. I didn't feel like getting online yesterday.) is the chance that I'll be moving. We went tonight to look at a house that's like 20 miles from my house, literally in the middle of nowhere, and practically in the next state - less than 9 miles from the state line. The house is cool, on 8 acres with a pond and a creek, and if we moved I'd get the attic for my bedroom which I've been adamant that I'd get if we ever moved. The only problem is that the house is 53 miles from my school (and I have to stay at that school. It's a special school) and 31 miles from my nearest friend. 70 miles to the friends that I actually hang out with. I'd say that's messed up right there. Have to drive two hours just to go see a movie?? Annnd I'd have to catch the bus at 5:45 or earlier in the morning because my mom won't let me drive to school, I'll get home crazy late, and I'll never get to do anything. I like the house, and I know I'm leaving in a year for college, but that's a year of no sleep and even less of a life than I have now. Junk just can't be simple, can it? Maybe my people'll move after I leave, because then it wouldn't matter where they live; I'd just come home for Christmas and a few weeks over the summer. I guess I'll wait it out and throw a tantrum if the time comes. Or find an equal or better house nearer to where I'd like to be. Anybody got 8 acres with a pond, a creek, fruit trees, a spring house, and an old country farmhouse with a big kitchen and 5 bedrooms (one in the attic!) in their neighborhood? Try looking around, they can be easy to miss sometimes.
