It's Bobilicious!

Omg... a couple days ago I was at Wondeland... waiting in line. AND BAM! Three large spiders were right above my head, creepy much? Ugh, yuck bad experince!And the people beside me were making fun of my fear of spiders, so when they lost their cellphone on the ride, I laugghed at them.

In other news, I finished Wicked Lovely and it was awesome! One of the best books I've read thsi summer, of course I haven't read a whole lot. So now I'm reading the sequel and I can already tell it's not going to be as good, and the fact that Alicia told me it wasn't as good.

Only...two...more...days! Oh god, I'm getting more nervous by the second. We haven't gotten our time tables yet and it angers me! I want to know my classes! Grr! I'm angered. Oh god, I think I might die, if so. You can all spilt my book collection equally.

Well, I got to go, going to Chapters!!! Tootles!

--Sara♥♣♥

There is apple stuck in my teeth..

And I can't get it out. I must quest for the floss.

But befire that, I'm back! And I realized that we have about 3 days till highschool! I wasn't nervous before. but I am a bit now. I had a dream about going to highschool the other day, or night rather. It was stressful, and now I have MORE apple in my teeth! GR! This is why I don't eat too many apples. I love them so much though...

The last few posts are sad and depressing. I'm going to break thatwith this post. Oh, and you pickup your timetable at your school. That's how it usually works. Thats what most people do anyway.

Well, time to leave, My hands are sticky from apple juice and my teeth are uncomfortable. It's not very fun. See yas!

*Sniffle*

She has sent me in a downward spiril of depression...down, down, down I go...Edward....*sniffle*. I hope she starts writing it again. I think I shall die if she doesn't. WAH!

Note On Midnight Sun Leak

I have to mention my point of view on this whole leaked Midnight Sun issue.
Reading that note, I have to say that I think the way Stephenie Meyer has been handling this situation is very realistic, understandable, and even quite brave. Posting the link to the site the leaked copy is on so as not to lay guilt on fans unable to resist reading must have been a tough decision, and shows the care she has for each and every one of her fans. I know that from a writer's standpoint, taking a break from the story to truly enjoy the experience must not have been something she enjoyed deciding, but was ultimately the only decision. Don't we all want Stephenie Meyer to be happy and feel more than satisfied with the way Edward's story is written? We won't enjoy it properly if it's not what we know to be Stephenie's best work. I am happy, and have to say have new faith in the abilities of the artist.

Just had to say that to contrast Alicia's heart-shapeless post.

-Emma

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?! THIS IS A TRADGEDY? INDEFINITELY? DOESN'T THAT MEAN FOREVER?

Stephanie Meyer Site:
As some of you may have heard, my partial draft of Midnight Sun was illegally posted on the Internet and has since been virally distributed without my knowledge or permission or the knowledge or permission of my publisher.
I have a good idea of how the leak happened as there were very few copies of Midnight Sun that left my possession and each was unique. Due to little changes I made to the manuscript at different times, I can tell when each left my possession and to whom it was given. The manuscript that was illegally distributed on the Internet was given to trusted individuals for a good purpose. I have no comment beyond that as I believe that there was no malicious intent with the initial distribution.
I did not want my readers to experience Midnight Sun before it was completed, edited and published. I think it is important for everybody to understand that what happened was a huge violation of my rights as an author, not to mention me as a human being. As the author of the Twilight Saga, I control the copyright and it is up to the owner of the copyright to decide when the books should be made public; this is the same for musicians and filmmakers. Just because someone buys a book or movie or song, or gets a download off the Internet, doesn't mean that they own the right to reproduce and distribute it. Unfortunately, with the Internet, it is easy for people to obtain and share items that do not legally belong to them. No matter how this is done, it is still dishonest. This has been a very upsetting experience for me, but I hope it will at least leave my fans with a better understanding of copyright and the importance of artistic control.
So where does this leave Midnight Sun? My first feeling was that there was no way to continue. Writing isn't like math; in math, two plus two always equals four no matter what your mood is like. With writing, the way you feel changes everything. If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn't dovetail too well with the original story. In any case, I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on Midnight Sun, and so it is on hold indefinitely.
I'd rather my fans not read this version of Midnight Sun. It was only an incomplete draft; the writing is messy and flawed and full of mistakes. But how do I comment on this violation without driving more people to look for the illegal posting? It has taken me a while to decide how and if I could respond. But to end the confusion, I've decided to make the draft available
here (at the end of this message on the Midnight Sun page). This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest. I hope this fragment gives you further insight into Edward's head and adds a new dimension to the Twilight story. That's what inspired me to write it in the first place.
I do want to take a moment and thank the wonderful fans who have been so supportive of me over the past three years. I cannot begin to tell you how much each of you means to me. I only hope this note will stop all the confusion and online speculation so that the Twilight universe can once again become the happy escape it used to be. After this incredibly busy year, I am now focusing on spending more time with my family and working on some other writing projects.

Water Wings; A Maximum Ride Novel

Maximum Ride and the other members of the Flock have barely recovered from their last arctic adventure, when they are confronted by the most frightening catastrophe yet. Millions of fish are dying off the coast of Hawaii and someone--or "something"--is destroying hundreds of ships. Unable to discover the cause, the government enlists the Flock to help them get to the bottom of the disaster before it is too late.
While Max and her team are exploring the depths of the ocean, their every move is being carefully tracked by Mr. Chu--a criminal mastermind with his own plans for the Flock. Can they protect themselves from Mr. Chu's army of mercenaries and save the ocean from utter destruction?
"A James Patterson Pageturner"
In the spirit of the most enduring hit movies and books, James Patterson has written this story for readers from ten to a hundred and ten. Special care has been taken with the language and content of WATER WINGS.

That last sentence isn't a good sign for Max or Fang! They're at least 14 and they talk about nothing we do! And nothing new happens between them! Mr. Chu?
Thanks Sophie for the tip.

Wow. We might all have wings one day.

Check out this site, it's scary, and absolutely positively real. Winged bird kids will no longer be a figment of our imaginations it seems.

This is freaky too:


I changed some stuff on the sidebar. I've added a section for books we've written and put out into the publishing world. Alicia will be joining that list soon no doubt.

I got my haircut today. It's pretty and perfect and really really soft.

Poptarts Yum...

Random title there, Um... I'm kinda confused about all of the high school stuff. Why no time tables? Hmmmm? Oh the confusion. I guess they send it to us in the mail, well I hope they do because if they don't I'm callng in a complaint for lack of time table.

So today I went to Wonderland... I didn't get to go on Bahemoth though because of the humongo line. Cody,Emma & Shauna I am not buying you a pig or a cow, got it?

I'm currently eating grapes and some of them are very sour and I keep making funny faces while eating them and I think if anyone were around they'd probably laugh at my sad attempt at eating grapes...

Well I think I've bored you enough so byebye!

--Sara♥♣♥

September 18

Short blog. I just wanted to say the the 18th isn't an orientation it's Meet The Teacher night. And when I said we had no orientation I meant that there was nothing to show us around the school before it starts and blah blah. Does anyone know when we're getting our timetables?

Alicia xoxo<3

Orientation

First of all, we do have an orientation, Alicia. But its after school starts. (weirrrdd) It is on the 18th, also there is a question thingy on the 26th of august. sheesh, didnt you even read the package?


Also, emma, i do want to buy your book, but i also dont have 25 dollars yet, so, i will get it to you asap

Important Dates

Sorry, I just thought of this. Emma, for the Important Dates thing, you could put that school starts on September 2nd. The Yorkolites (aka Sara Soph and me) don't have an orientation, we go to the auditorium on the first day.

Alicia xoxo <3

The DVD

Hello hello. Sorry it's been a while since I last blogged. I have been reading the blogs though. Livi, I'm glad you liked the DVD. There are some little things I forgot to mention. One if the videos on the DVD is me and Sara's WagginTails commercial, since none of you ever got to see it from the business project. I thought maybe our hard work should at least get shown to somebody :P. Second, when you put the DVD in and start it, it may just go into a loop of all the videos, but if you press the menu button somewhere on your remote it should go to the menu I set up. Then you can choose just one video if you only want to watch one. But if that video isn't the last one, then it'll continue into the videos after it. I think the DVD will go to the menu after you watch all the videos too.

C0dy and Emma, I have your DVDs right here. So the next time I see you, I'll give them to you. Katie (I don't know if you even read the blog anymore, but whatever) Olivia put your DVD in your mailbox, so hopefully you got it.

Emma, I do want to buy the book, but I don't have $25 right now. I'm sorry for holding the ordering up you guys! I will try to get the money to you as soon as I can, and I'll do extra chores to get the money faster. I'm really sorry!

Well then, I suppose I shall be going. I'll blog again soon.

Alicia xoxo <3

Yorkdale

I have to say, the BBQ wrap at rainforest cafe is REALLY good. Just to let y'all know.

Other than that, yorkdale is still pretty much the same, in case you were wondering. Well, i know your arent wondering, but im telling you so shaddup and listen. Anywhoo...I am quite bored, so i will push that on you....ahh boreddom....did i spell that right? I dont know....

AWW!

LIISHAA! I LOVE the DVD so much!!! It's sooo cute! *Happy Overload* I'm surprised I didn't start crying!

I'm on the phone at the moment, with George, discussing how books have been ripped to sheds by their resulting movies. It"s hard to type and talk about two different things at the same time...I'm sure he says hi. In fact he does. He says hi.

Bleh..my hands smell like cologne. My dad put guys body wash in our soap container and it's nasty.

I gotta go use different soap.

--Livi♥

ITN Money!

Quick blog post.
I need to remind all of you that if you are purchasing Into The Night, please let me know, and the very next time I see you- most likely on a Wonderland trip- PLEASE bring your $25.00. And if you're not buying one, let me know, so that I can finally order my own book because I'm dying to see it. Soon please! I've been waiting since June!
(And tell me what you think of my actors too.)

I'm Back!!!

Heii guys!
I'm so glad to be back in Toronto! If you didn't know I spent a month in the woods(camp and cottage). I went on this five day canoe trip at camp which was awesome. If anyone wants to hear about what it feels like to sleep on the ground with your clothes as a pillow for four nights in a row give me a call. I also couldn't bathe on this trip, so once again call me. Oh and we cleaned with dirt. And I wore the same socks 3 days in a row. And I saw a black bear. So yah, good to be back near computers and running water.

Wah..

I probably cant go to the movie night Emma! Bwa.. I wanted to, but I must build a bedroom on that day... But if i get back on time, it could be possible to make it!

On a lighter note, I got an awesome CD of Architecture in Helsinki. They're officially a favorite band!

I made some yummy chocolate chip cookies and lemon squares. I was hoping to bring cookies to movie night. I've been baking too much. Soon I shall be pushing my stuff on all of you. I don't think you'll mind though!

Okeys, nothing else to say. Oh! Lisha, have fun camping. Do something nature-related for me!:P
--Livi♥

Shoelaces!!!

I have no title that is interesting enough to write, except for shoelaces. I went to se Mama Mia with Sara and Alicia, and I also got cool rainbow shoelaces.

So Emma, my mom said I could come for sure, but i cant stay till 11:30, maybe like, ten thirty or eleven at the latest. Also, I have half of season one of Supernatural. The show is about two incredibly hot brothers, Sam and Dean, who hunt evil supernatural things. (Like angry spirits, Bloody Mary, poltergeists gone bad and evil ghosts.) Its a really cool show, but its a little gory, (Like...bloody mary making your eyes bleed,) But you guys arent little, you can handle it. Anyway, I'll bring it just in case, and maybe we can watch it.

I dont think Sara and Alicia are coming, seeing as they are currently camping. Anywhoo, gtg eat yummy spinach and cheese buns

Funny Mood

I'm in a funny mood.

So anyways, I was kind of bored, and I decided to do a little searching for actors who kind of look like some of my Into The Night characters. Obviously no one's ever going to be perfect, but I did my best for now. Tell me what you think especially if you read the book. I want to see what the differences between our mental images are.


For Leilah:
A younger version of Kate Bosworth.

The image “http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/MMPH/258931~Kate-Bosworth-Posters.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.


For Gerry Forester:
A younger version of David Sutcliffe.

As Notch:
Justin Chatwin

In my head, Notch and Jalia look like identical twins, but for their genders and their eye colours (Notch's area dark brown, Jalia's are bright blue). Technically their only cousins though.


For Jalia:
Alexis Bledel

I'm pretty much done chapter 4 of Into The Light, so if you people would actually read it I could send the next bit along. Just a thought.

Camping And Movies

Helloo all. So today I went to see Mamma Mia! with Sara and Soph. It was really good, I reccomend it. Emma, I want a copy of Into The Night, and will have the money to you soon. I want to come to movie night, but I can't because I'm camping.

Camping! So excited. Me and Sara are going until Monday (which as I said mean no church this Sunday Emma) and I can't wait! Hopefully the weather isn't too poopy (mature eh?) I hope it is nice and sunny outside. Also, I have all your friends mix DVDs, so hopefully I can get them to you soon.

I must be off to finish packing! Tootles!

Alicia xoxo<3

Sunday and Latte's

If you want to come over for the movie Sunday, so far Sophie and Olivia, it's going to be a movie night. At this point, it looks like it will be 6 until 11 or 11:30, so kind of late unless you can't stay that long, and I might be able to move it earlier. Olivia, if you want to bring a movie over that would be great, the more options we have to choose from the better. Sara, if you come, I was thinking The Shining or The Matrix for sure, but it's up to you.

Also, if you're coming to movie day and you wanted a copy of Into The Night, please bring the $25.00 it costs, because we will be ordering very soon. We've been putting it off to ensure that we order the right amount of copies, so if you want one, the way to ensure that you'll get one is to bring the money, not that you have to, because it's a little costly.



Isn't that cool? Doesn't it make you thirsty for caffeine? Doesn't it make you feel like you were silly never to have figured out how to do that?
My answer is yes to all of those questions.

And if you're a reader of my Into The Light chapters, I've sent you chapter three, so please read and send feedback!

-Emma

Grargh...

Quetzalcoatl, why do you and the various other sky gods hate me so? Ra, please show the sun... I want to go outside, but it looks like rain and i don't like my laptop getting wet! Chac, give the rain to places that need it more for a few days. What about the poor children in the third world countries who need water? What about them?

Sky god rant... I'm sorry. I just want some nicer weather, It's kinda cold and looks too much like rain to go outside...

Emma, i want to go to your house for the movie thing, but I may just be assembling furniture on Sunday. But if I can, I have Howls Moving Castle and The Cat Returns here. Great movies, but I want Castle in the Sky....

Oh, I really need a book to read now. If anyone knows good books in the Post-Apocalyptic Fiction genre, I'd love to know! I LOOOOOVVEEE books that take place after the world has gone ka-blooey. I dont know why, but that always fascinates me!

Well, must be going. Au Revoir!

--Livi♥

Giant Tic Tacs!

Hello all! I haven't blogged in awhile and I realize that but I haven't exactly been at home, I was just up at my Grandma's who lives in Renfrew (for those of you don't know where that is, it's a small town right beside Ottawa.) Anyways, I had fun and got alot of inspiration for writing.

So I haven't gotten to sleep in since Sunday and it sucks, I had to be up at 8:30am today (which is very early for me.) because I had to go get my retainer. I had trouble getting it off and they gave me a t-shirt (which I will never wear in public.).

In other news, I don't feel very different being 14 and all, should I? I still feel like I'm 13 for some reason. Did any of you forget your 14? Since all of you are older then me except for Sophie.

Oh, and about my random title, its because yesterday I bought a giant case of tic tacs and I'm already almost finished! I get to addicted to them, and so does my mom so the whole 5 hour ride home we were eating tic tacs.

Any hoodles.... I bestest be off my hommies! Tootles.

Ohmm...I'm tired

So, it says this at the end of the blog, but it is 11:51 right now, and my mom still isn't home. She was s'posed to come home at 9:30 or earlier. Now, I'm not worried, (that much) and a couple times she's not come home till the morning, but I still get a little freaked out and paranoid. (Only a little.)

Anyway, on to less depressing subjects, Emma, if you find me less than terrifying, than I wouldn't mind seeing movie(s) at your house. i have nothing to do, and movies are better than nothing.

Anywhoo, I hope to see u guys soon, namely Sunday, or soon thereafter.

Harry Potter Teaser Trailer!

Watch the new teaser trailer that accompanies The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2.



Now that you've seen that, watch this insanely funny reaction video by Matt Britton on the left and Andrew Sims on the right. Both are hosts on Mugglecast and trust me they do not actually act like this. It's an homage to all of the real reaction videos out there, but it's still VERY funny. And though you may doubt it from this video, they are both very straight, not gay at all even though they're acting like that. And Matt's really cute.



Ah, the joys of Mugglecast. Can you wait until November? Half-Blood Prince!

And also, does anyone want to come over to my house for a movie day this Sunday? I can probably have three or four friends over, so tell me if you guys want to get together and watch non-stop movie madness. Popcorn will be provided.

-Emma

Humph

Livi, you just totally ruined the video :P. I'm sticking with the real ending.

Stupid Black20.
Hmph.

I didn't hear the explosion...

My parents heard it the middle of the night. They said it sounded like thunder and rattled the house. Apparently I'm a very heavy sleeper.

I'm using my new headset and speaking to the computer instead of typing, but it's always making mistakes. I'm going to try writing with it. O.O Apparently, I just said the Nazi movement! I did not say that! Learn! I did the tutorial still doesn't work very well. I'll have to do it again.

Sophie I wish I had some of those truffles. I love chocolate.

Before I go off to writing one thing. I love that vid Lisha! I watched it a few days ago. But theres always an alternative ending to everything...

This Video Made Me Cry

Okay, so you may have watched it on the Maximum Ride Blog, but if you didn't seriously, watch this video. I cried at the end, it's so heartwarming and adorable!

Propane Tanks and Dishwashing

So, as I'm sure you all know by now, there was a huge propane tank explosion in North York. What you don't know- unless you're Alicia- is that my cousin lives beside the Propane Facility. She along with hundreds of others had to evacuate her house at 4:00 in the morning. If you sleep more lightly than me, you probably felt your house shake like in a light earth quake, and heard something like the rumbling of thunder. We could tell it wasn't though, because Maple was barking furiously. It was the first and biggest explosion. At 4:30 this morning we received a frantic phone call from my Zea Toni (aunt Toni, my cousin Victoria's mom if you're not Italian) telling us that there was a pounding on their door and police officers telling them to immediately get out. They grabbed their coats, their grandparents in the next room, and their dog Romeo, got into their car, and drove like hell. They ended up at Victoria's aunt's house for now because she's close by but not in the evacuation zone, but because they have no idea when they're coming home, they very well may end up here in the next day or so. Only one fire fighter has died, and of natural causes, one worker of Sunrise Propane is still missing, while a handful of people immediately beside the propane station escaped with burns and cuts. The windows in the houses very close to Victoria's were actually blown out from the impact of the sound.
Luckily, the weather managed to help. Toronto is currently in a low pressure zone, which pulled all of the smoke up and out of our streets very quickly while the rain helped soak down the fire. If it had been a high pressure zone and a blazing hot humid day, I'm sure you can guess how much worse this could have been. The 401 has been entirely shut down for most of the day, so while driving up to Barrie for a few hours, we had to take Side Road's on the 400. Those poor travelers from Florida who were driving ahead of us.

I can't believe the luck my Mom's side of the family has been having lately. My Nonno just got out of hospital today after having head surgery (I won't go into the yucky details on the blog) and a week in the hospital. Mom's absolutely exhausted. I've only seen glimpses of her all week, but I'm sure that you'll all be proud to know that she's already partway through book 3 of Breaking Dawn from reading at the hospital. Poor Mommy, she's exhausted. Poor us, we've been starving most of the week. Apparently we need her more than we realized. Also, my Mom's older cousin from Ottawa died a few days ago, and now my cousin's family (once again on Mom's side) can't be in there own house during summer break. Victoria's dad has to stay with Nonno tonight as well to watch him. They have it even worse than us. I hope they come over so we can see them.

I think the whole thing was handled really well though. And mother nature seems to have been on our side.



So, I had to hand dry dishes today. I accidentally used a dishcloth too, but, can you blame me? I can barely remember the last time I wished dishes like that at my Nanna's house.

Sophie, you were astutely right. I actually hadn't been wondering what your Truffles title was about, but hopefully you'll understand that I've been kind of distracted.

And Olivia, excellent name choice. The last name fits perfectly after Edan. Little fire! I wonder if that'll mean anything with your story.

-Emma

Truffles and Kittycats

For the first time in over three weeks, I am sitting at the computer with my kitty on my lap. Due to poor travelling and my mom, Zeus couldn't come on our Maratime adventure. (I am being half sarcastic.) We left him at my grandmas house while we were away, and picked him up yesterday. I am surprised about how much I missed him. I mean, yah, he is my family and everything, but I thought I would be busy enough that I wouldn't miss him that much. You guys too. The first couple days, I was like, 'okay, yay, brake from my friends, I need it,' (I'm kidding :) ) but by the end of the trip, I felt like I hadn't seen you guys in a year. I think, that like, every two weeks or something, we should try to hang out at Elm park or wherever pleases you. ("you" as in everyone.)

Your probably wondering why I put 'truffles' in the headline. Okay, your probably not wondering, but still. I am eating my Dad's super yummy, chocolaty French truffles. (Not the mushroom kind.)

Hmmm...maybe I should get some more....

I ♥ Tabouli Salad

I just tried some and its soo yummy!

Emma, I used Edan. His name is Edward Edan Williams. Capitan Edward Edan Williams at that. The first name can always be changed though.

I must go eat dinner now. We're having quinoa, tabouli salad, spinach salad and steak. Yum!

I Too Am A Hypocrite

Hello. So I know it has been a while since I last blogged. Hehe. I will blog more now, I promise.

So I have been camping. I got back Thursday. I had a lot of fun with my cousins, we went to the beach and we found a snake in the rocks near there. I touched it, but I was too chicken to hold it. And me and my cousin Ali went out swimming far in the lake and jumped off rocks into the water. It was a lot of fun.

I loved the conclusion of Breaking Dawn, I am so satisfied. There is no one I love more than Edward, but I love some characters just as much in a different way. I am going to get the guide thing it advertises at the back of the book, out December 30th! I think. I am also SO getting Midnight Sun when she publishes it.

Sophie, yay, you're back! I am glad. Call me when you can. I don't know when our orientation is, I haven't recieved any letters. I'm sure we will soon. Anyway, I best be going. Hopefully I'll see you all soon!

Alicia xoxo <3

Friday, August 8, 2008

Welcome back Sophie.

I hope you had a good time in the Maritimes. I remember the summer I went there and Katie went the exact same route about, a week after me and we didn't even know it. The jellyfish washed on the beach and it was so cold even in summer that we couldn't go swimming, but it was lots of fun. I think we might actually be renting a cottage in Prince Edward Island for a few weeks next summer, but we'd spend time with friends in Nova Scotia, then go to Newfoundland, and New Brunswick.

Blog when your orientations are you guys so that I can put them on our important dates list. I already put Katie and mine on, so tell me yours too.

The fifth Maximum Ride book will be coming out in 2009, the movie's screenplay is being written, and the first manga book is officially out in bookstores and in Yen magazine. You should read it Livi.

Oh, and you're welcome Olivia. What name have you decided on?

A simple, subtle message to all...

BLOG!!!

>:U


And Thank you very much for the suggestions Emma. I did want a name thats different, one you wouldnt hear a lot.!

Happy Birthday Sara!

I bet you're happy that you have your braces off for your special day. I am going to celebrate by watching The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants at 1:30. I'll have fun! (You should too.)

Olivia, I would say maybe Eamon or Edan. Eaomon means rich protector in Irish, and Edan means little fire in Irish. Elijah, Raed, Raine? I don't know, just trying to help. I already have a princess named after me, so I'm already happy. :)

BRACES OFF BABY!!!

Yaya! I finally got my braces off and I love the result of them. No gaps and no more over bite! It took a whole two hours to get them off because they had to clean the glue off the and stuff. They also had to show me how to floss (like I already didnt know how to.)

Finally the days of getting food stuck in my teeth and getting tightinings are over! I no longer have to deal with the annoying elastics I had to wear sometimes during the day and always at night.

So today was a good day and my moms taking me to vaughn mills and I'm going to get a candy apple while I'm there (thanks to Livi for the idea.)

Well I bestest be off, Tootles!

Emma, You're a Writing Machine.

You continue to amaze me. I shall send you the first bit of my story, but it'll be through my reishi_chan email, so dont delete it!

My phones arent working, so dont try to call me on them. If you need to call, call my cell instead. I just thought I'd put that out there.

OH! More Character Naming time!:D:D
This character is about 25, 26. He has piercing grey-blue eyes. I dont have a hair colour yet. He is a dramatic, yet quiet person, except when he's ordering people around. He's kinda like a cross between Edward Elric from FMA and Howl from Howl's Moving Castle (Great movie by the way.Go rent it if you can. Or read the book). Oh, and he's the capitain of a flying/normal ship. Suggestions? Whoever can help me will get a character named after them, like Emma did. :D

Laters.

Wordclay Press Release

Okay, yes I've had a lot to blog about lately. But you guys should blog more! You complain that nobody's blogging, and then you go ahead and do exactly that! Come on, it's only a few weeks until high school, so keep it up!

I know some of you asked me tell you when my Wordclay Press Release for Within Hewitt Manor came out, and now I can! If you want to read it (it's only a page in Microsoft Word) I can send it to you over email.

Has anyone read the first chapter of one of my side writing pieces yet? I just haven't heard and it's been a while.

Maple's not feeling good today, but hopefully she'll start feeling better so she can play with her two new doggy friends soon!

Breaking Dawn: The End? Or Another Beginning?

I thought that title sounded pretty cool. But who knows, maybe it won't be just Edward who needs more of his own story told. I hope it's not just him, there's more we can know.
But boy did I love it! Breaking Dawn is my absolute favourite book in Twilight, no questions asked! It was perfect and flawless and more than I could have dreamed. I'm ecstatically, fantastically more than satisfied, and I love every side, every character, everything! Ahhh, Twilight. You truly were a phenomenon and I hope that it won't end here, though I have to say I'm fine if it does. I have no complaints, and my hands are in the air. Beautiful. Stephenie Meyer, you are a genius.

Olivia, trust me, there's nothing abnormal about working on more than one story at a time. I currently have about four going, while some are more serious and in form than the others, but it helps me to remember ideas and allows me to take a break when I'm at a block without stopping writing. And I would love to read your story Olivia, send it right along.

Oh, and by the way, I would say that in Breaking Dawn, there's a tie between favourite characters, can you believe it? And I would say more than two. The story was truly the best part; sorry Edward, but Breaking Dawn as a whole has got you beat for favourite dimension. I still love you though!

There was something...

I thought i had something to tell you guys, but I forgot... It seemed important... Ah well.
My sister went to that Breaking Dawn Masquerade thing at Chapters. She had fun. Her mask was cute with the feathers and stars.

Is it bad that I'm working on two stories at once? I just got some great inspiration and i had to start another. Hmm. I did go see my sisters new house that she's gonna live in for university. She's renting a room and it's really cute! The house is so pretty! It looks like an English cottage with cute little peaked windows and big old beech trees.. I wish I could live there! Wah.

I was thinking of distributing my story around. It has no chapters yet, and i don't know if it will. But if someone wants to read the first bit, just tell me.

Tomorrow our lives will change.

The moment we read the last word of Stephenie Meyer's final Twilight book Breaking Dawn, our lives will be different you guys. Just as Harry Potter changed my life, so will this, though I have to say nothing will ever impact me the way Harry has. But really, all we know about Breaking Dawn is the little bit the prologue gives, that there's a wedding, and that Stephenie Meyer is totally satisfied with the story. Let's just hope it leaves us the same way. I'm sure it will.

At this moment, I have to say we're lucky.
And that pilates is lame, while karate kicks ass.

1 Hour and 22 Minutes!

The title my friends, is exactly how long there is until Breaking Dawn is officially RELEASED!!!!! I AM GETTING IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!! (Considering my mom is taking me to get it.) But, I can't wait. No one call me tomorrow, I will be buried deep in Stephanie Meyer's vampire world. Seriously, I'll be busy :P.

In other news, I want to go to Wonderland! Unfortunately, at this point I am not allowed to go unless a parent is in the park. Not necessarily with us, just in the park. My mom seems to be rethinking it thouhgh. I just did a Pilates workout, and I feel very refreshed. Don't laugh or make fun of me, Pilates are good for you! I'm just trying to stay healthy. Thanks for letting me borrow the DVD Sara!

By the way, Sophie sent me two post cards, but they are addressed to all of us. I guess mine was the only address she knew. Hopefully I can get you guys to see them at some point. So, I won't be seeing you tomorrow, but, hopefully soon. Happy reading! (Or, happy insert-activity-of-your-choice-here)
