finnaly writing my story

Well, a few months ago i told people about a story idea i had, well I'm finally starting it. I spent the last few hours working on a setting, a map, and the 2 key plot points (aka the character love triangle thing and the war itself) I've decided that the war itself was set up by the ruler as a popularity boost. This land is inhabited by humans and "giants"( they stand between 6.5 to 8 ft in general and some of their bottom teeth are longer and stick out above their lip like small tusks) The ruler, when coming to power, set up a propaganda campaign against the beasts, and called for an extermination of them to make the land pure. The people loved this idea due to the propaganda campaign that was going on for quite a while, and thus they supported the war. And of course, this means that our protagonists are actually evil, trying to exterminate a race that did nothing to them. This sets up the war and everything that is to follow. I'm still working on more plot points, and i don't have much int he way of character concepts as of yet, but i hope to keep working on it. Oh and if anyone has ideas for names of people or countries i could always use some help, names aren't really my strong suit, lol, i don't want to use names of people i know in real life, but i want actual names,or at least names that aren't fail, thus i face a dilemma. Anyway, that is all for now, so lets hope i don't get bored of this story before i get far enough

and this week...

only one week of camp left... finally read brisinger and lord sunday as well as a few other things, both excited and aprehensive for when camp is over. I need to worry about college applications now... and im still not sure where i really want to go, not to mention i need to get my eagle award, otherwise these last 8 years have been a waste. And when i'm finally home for the weekends most of my friends are too busy to hang out with me. oh well life goes on
I tripped andfell today when running from my tent in an effort to not be late to lunch, bloodied my elbow and cracked my ipod, fun fun oh well, life goes on

R.I.P.

My grandfather, Jerry Lather passed away this Monday around 5 in the morning. I got a call around 6 that i missed and the voice mail told me to call my dad back. My dad called again at about 7:45, right as I was going down for the flag raising ceremony at camp. That's how I found out. It took a lot to not start crying in front of the campers.
For the next 2 days I put on a strong front and continued to teach the scouts. Today i finally left so that I could go to the Wake, which is today, and the Funeral, which is tomorrow. I will be serving at the mass and be one of the pallbearers. I cant stop crying, I saw my grandpa 3 weeks ago, he seemed fine, he talked to me, gave me my birthday present, we talked a little and I walked away. The rest of my family got to see him again on the 4th, but i was working, i missed my last chance to see him.
My mom will be speaking at the wake tonight, i cant listen to her speech, i cant stand the part where she talks about how they've had so many chances to see him recently and shes glad for that, because i missed most of them.
And i'm crying again, I cant stop, I miss him, I have so many regrets for this past year, i wish i could just go back and do it all again, moving on is so hard
