I'm Still Alivveeeee!!!

So, the title says all. I know I have been MIA for a while, but I promise I still walk the face of the Earth; I haven't dropped off it or anything. Lots of stuff has been going on lately. I been reading religiously, and Emma, I will read your chapter soon, I'm sorry. I thank you guys for reading mine and sending me feedback, especially Cody and Emma. Sara, you read, but refuse to give me feedback *sighs*. Jkz jkz.

Unfortunately, unless there is a developement I don't know about, York isn't going to the meet on Wed. Our coach doesn't think we're good enough because not enough people are showing up. So hopefully we'll be going to another one so we can go to finals.

Anywhoodles, lately I've been pretty busy. The homework load lightened up a bit, thank god, but my English teacher is a constant homework assigner. There's no doubt, I think we've only had one class so far where she didn't assign any. The last homework she assigned was fun though, we had to write a poem and it didn't have to rhyme. Skip over this next part if you don't want to read it, but here it is:

I am from memories,
From friends, old and new,
Trips to Wonderland and to Niagara Falls in Grade 8,
From, “Don’t push your glasses up at me!”
To, “Endless gunfire!” and getting stuck in bouncy castles.
***
I am from the earth,
From lilac plants and lovely corn fields,
Thick soil and lush meadows,
From the Arctic polar bear to the Canadian beaver,
From the wallaby to the great grizzly bear.
***
I am from the Portugal beaches,
The sound of crashing waves,
From the Northern farm,
Rabi waiting at the end of his leash,
And from Cristo Rei, his arms spread wide.
***
I am from words,
The words I read,
The words I write,
From notebooks filled with story ideas
And books I can’t put down.
***
I am from the Barras cousins,
All older but for one,
From catching frogs and snakes at McGregor,
To not finishing Casino Royale,
Because we fought over the remote.
I am from memories.

Let me know what you think. That's my first real poem in a looonggg time. I had to read it out to the class :S. Anyway, I'll be off now, but tell me what you think of the poem! Thanks xoxo.

I'm Not Dead

So it's been a while since I've posted, and I apologize. I've been busy every second, and those few breaks I took to read and write. Emma, I have read the ninth chapter but haven't had time to send feedback, and I apologize. I have a million projects going, swim team on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays, Concert band on Wednesday morning and Stage band on Thursday afternoon. I'm a little overflowed.

I just finished my french project, due tomorrow. Then I have to do an English paper due Thursday, and I have to do it all tomorrow because I haven't even started it yet. *Smacks forehead at own procrastination*. I really should have started it, but I just couldn't bring myself around to it. So I probably won't be able to send feedback for you Emma until Friday or the weekend. I'll try my best to send by Sunday.

In my free time (yes I do have some) I am continuing writing, so don't think I have stopped. I'm almost done the next chapter of Among The Trees, and hopefully it will be along by the end of this weekend (if Bronze Cross doesn't ruin that dream :P) Emma and Katie, it's so cool that you were on TV. I didn't get to see it unfortunately. What HSM stars were there? Jeanette, in case I don't blog in the next four days, I am wishing you a happy birthday now. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BE!!! And now I must go shower and practice trumpet >.> I will try my best to blog again soon!
I MISS ALL OF YOU GUYS SO MUCH!!! <3<3<3

Discovery Channel

If you haven't seen this commercial, I demand you watch it. It's awesome. If you have, watch it again. If you want the soundtrack, I can send it to you.

I am almost done chapter five of Among The Trees, so you will be recieving that soon. I didn't get any feedback for chapter four, so I'm guessing you guys have homework (I know I do) so just read it when you can and send as much feedback as you can. Jeanette, do you have MSN? If so, can I get it through someone who has it, because I know you probably don't want to put it up on the internet?

So, that's about it. Watch the commercial! Oh and Jeanette, you may have noticed we all have a cool little signature, and I think you should make one! It's fun!

I Adore Weekends!

Truly, I do. I love weekends, they rock! I have a billion assignments to work on though. Okay, only two, but still...

GRR! I hate the name of Brisingr too! Really, you couldn't go with the flow? Really. Sheesh. I am going to get it soon, and there are other books I need to get. Emma, I just need to sort a few things out, but we will start singing as soon as possible. I just have a lot of assignments right now, so as soon as I get them out of the way.

I am going to be writing more of Among The Trees soon, so prepare to send feedback people! I have also gotten another story idea, and am forming it in my handy dandy notebook (hee hee Bluesclues) and may or may not start it soon. I'm debating whether or not I should write it while I'm writing Among The Trees, or after I'm done. What do you guys think? Please let me know.

I DO I DO!!!

Sheesh Liv, I said I wanted to come. I haven't told my parents yet, but I will. I'd need a date and stuff though. What if my parents can't come, can I still? Because it would just suck if I couldn't. I don't mind cooking for other peoples parents.

I love tomorrow. Late start, school only starts at 10! YAY!!!!! Sleep in!!! Yay (I state again) ! I still have not recieved any feedback for Among The Trees, except from Sara, and Emma tried. No feedback, no story. Easy peasy. Sophie has an excuse because I know she is catching up on all the stuff we sent her, but the rest of you are just being poopy. Read it, then send even just a coupld sentences (although I do prefer a paragraph, but sentences will do). Please?! I'm dying here. This story is new, it needs judgement!

Oh, The End Of The Weekend...

Yes, end of the weekend. How sad. I'll be tired tomorrow, I hate Mondays. I hope you guys have read Among The Trees and liked it. I only got feedback from Sara, but I know that Emma tried. The rest of you didn't (poo on you.) I just sent all of Chapter 1, so hopefully I'll get a bigger response this time.

Other than that, I don't have much to say. The end of my murder mystery will be coming soon, I can feel the need to write it coming into my writer's veins (lol). So, Soph and Sara I will see you tomorrow at 7:40, and the rest of you, hopefully I see you soon.
