It's finally here!

Yes that is right! You are not mistaken! Chapter 6 of 'A Working Title' is finished!

It took me 'til 1 am, mostly 'cause I went out for dinner halfway thru. And By-The-Way, you should all check out Alex James (www.alexjameslive.com). He is a singer/songwriter from Australia who lives in Toronto, Canada and he is seriously amazing! He's also a really nice guy so check out his music, buy his album, send him a tweet.

Anyways, I finally posted it after probably like 3 weeks and you can check it out here: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7756169/1/A_Working_Title

Also I'm just going to take this time now to shamelessly plug my other two stories which are on Fanfiction.com's sister site Fictionpress.com. They are called 'The White Wolf Society' which I write with a friend of mine, and 'On The Brink' which is a working title.
Check them both out here:

http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2990803/1/On_The_bBrink_b_bWorking_b_bTitle_b

Again sorry for taking so long with this chapter but I hope to be updating all of my stories faster, it's just hard with all the schoolwork I'm getting. Nevertheless I will try and I will also try and update this page more often but remember you can  always tweet me and also check out the Facebook group for White Wolf! It's just called The White Wolf Society.

Anyways, I hope you all read the new chapter and please review it and tell me what you think!

Much love,
Jenny

Good evening Shuttle Bus!

Hey Guys!

I know I've been AWOL on here for a while, but I really want to start updating more often! I'm working on finishing the sixth chapter of my fanfic 'A Working Title' right now. I'm so excited to bring this chapter to you guys because it is sooo long! Darren's party is really long because of the video and I didn't want to cut it into two parts so it's going to be like three times the size of a normal one! I'm sorry it's been taking so long but I've been so super busy lately with a Charity event at my school adn a mound of missed homework because of that. I promise I will try to update more frequently. Really I should be writing right now instead of posting, so I'm going to go do that right now. So, if you want to reach me you can still comment, but check my Tweeter because I'll be updating that more frequently (@JennyLye).

For now Adieu, and I hope to see you guys soon!

SaviSeeds and Green...s

So today's post is going to be pretty short but I though I'd just mention a few things going on in my life right now.

First off, I have discovered a new love..or at least a like. They are called SaviSeeds amd they basically taste and look like nuts, but they're seeds. The difference is that they have a lot more omega-3 in them and are just all around better for you. SaviSeeds are actually 'Sacha Inchi' seeds and they come in three flavours (so far). Ranking them in order of most liked to least liked would be: Karmalized (Caramel-covered. Kind of like beer nuts), Oh Natural (Natural with a bit of sea salt), and then Cocoa Kissed (Dark chocolate covered). Normally I would say the chocolate ones are my favourite because i love chocolate covered anything. The only thing with these is that the dark chocolate combined with the already not sweetness of the seeds, just makes it a bit too bitter. Needless to say they are all still amazing. You can get them in a 5oz pouch (Like me) or in a 1oz snack pack. Luckily for me I got two of them at the GreenLiving show in Toronto (which I will talk about later), and theyw ere onsale for $7 a 5oz pouch, or $10 for two 5oz pouches. Crazy right!? I almost didn't believe them! If you want to try them out check out their website here.

Speaking of organic things, this weekend was the annual GreenLiving Show in Toronto which showcases environmentally-friendly and fair-trade businesses and just plain people. It was set up at the Direct Energy Centre at the Exhibition Place and was host to hundreds of vendors. From Me-to-We merch to composting toilets, you could find anything and everything green here. Luckily I went on the Saturday which was so not coincidentally the day that the inaugural Canadian Environmental Media Awards (CEMA's) were held. They were co-hosted by Canadian actress Rachelle LeFevre (Off the Map, Twilight) a huge favourite of mine. Before I start talking too much about it I'm going to stop now and just say it was a lot of fun. Actually I was able to get a free ticket by bringing in an old electronic to recycle, pretty cool eh?

Anyways if you want to learn more about the GreenLiving show, visit their site here
There isn't yet a site for the Canadian EMA's but check out the American's here

My Paolo

Paolo Nutini. Montreal. No relation? For me there is.

When I visited my brother, who is studying at McGill, in Montreal, me, my mother, and my sister, would walk down the streets and marvel at the serenity. It was November 2010, we were there for me and Katie's birthday (we're twins btw), and it was my first time seeing my brother's apartment (let alone my first time  in Montreal!). I have to say I have great memories of this amazing city. Now how does Paolo Nutini fit into this? Well during the trip, whenever I had spare time, in went my headphones and who would I listen to but Paolo Nutini (also James Morrison among others). You could say I was in a phase. It happens a lot.

Right now, you could say I was in a Glee/Darren Criss/AVPM/AVPS phase. I know it sounds big, but it's technically just a Darren Criss phase with other songs mixed in.

Some people think it's annoying but it is how i roll.

I don't know exactly why this is the post I am writing. But, I just listened to 'Someone Like You' by Adele and in parts of the song her voice kind of reminded me of Paolo Nutini, and hence the Paolo flashback nostalgia moment. Seriously after a phase I will get really tired of a certain artist or album so after my Paolo phase, whenever I clicked on one of his songs I quickly changed it, somehow it just wasn't good anymore. Now that doesn't mean I hate it forever, I just can't listen to it for a while. I know it sounds silly, but I'm sure I'm not the only one out there who does it.

Well that's all for THAT subject.

Moving on. I am drinking coffee at 9:30pm (A breakfast blend no less) and that's probably not smart seeing as I have a fish dissection and an in-class Graphing Calculator assignment tomorrow (really fun btw Idkw), but I'll deal with the consequences later. It's even sadder seeing as just four hours ago I had coffee with my mom, and I'm using the same takeout cup to brew this cup.

Talking about coffee w/ my mom reminds me of an embarrassing moment that happened to me today. At school, during Morning Announcements I heard the announcement for our school's art show opening, I immediately texted my mom to ask if she wanted to go, seeing as we always do these artsy things together. We drove after school to the gallery and we were a bit early so we sat and talked in her car. It got to 5:15 when I realized no one else had showed up. Boy did I feel like an idiot when I used my mom's smartphone to check the time and realized it was next Wednesday not this one. Maybe it wasn't that dumb, but nevertheless I will make sure I double check dates before I go anywhere!

Seeing as I've left the coffee machine alone, without actually making my coffee (It's a Tassimo T-Disk Barcode System) I should probably go do that.

Have fun wherever you are, and to all EST peeps, goodnight!

Psyllium Husks and Spring Cleaning

Piece of Advice: If you are going to mix Psyllium Husks in with your juice or water, drink it fast and in big gulps.

Listening to: Radioactive - Kings of Leon

Location: Couch (Eternally)

My stomach feels funny. And I'm f-ing exhausted. Who knew that cleaning would be so tiring?
