Easter means a cold

Easter gave me a cold people. Yessiree I'm having trouble breathing, I'm constantly blowing my nose, I cough every once in a while, and Buckley's actually tastes good. But don't worry, as long as I've got that Buckley's in me, I can't be stopped!

Yesterday was actually pretty boring compared to what family meals are usually like. There isn't alot to say for it. The olive bread was delicious though.

I've been working a lot on my new story, it's not the same one you saw Soph, I trashed that one. I'm going to do a character development excersise like the one Stephenie Meyer did for Edward. I'm going to try to right at least a chapter from the guys perspective. Hopefully it can be a companion book like Midnight Sun, but I wouldn't count on it. My main goal for this story is to make it much longer than my last. That's what I'm focused on.
While we're on the topic of stories, Sara, yours sounds very interesting. Do you write by taking a general outline from other series'? It's a good way to start. I've done it before. Can't wait to read more!

Never Back Down people!

I Saw Mommy Kissing The Easter Bunny!

That should so be a song. Anyways HAPPY EASTER! THE LORD HAS RISEN!
You know, today I have been pondering: Whats up with the bunny? Well I looked it up, but I have my own theory. I think that after God said "Let there be light!" he loooked around the world and then decided: "LET THERE BE CHOCOLATE!" and then, to celebrate(you know, the whole reason of Easter) , he asked one of his bunny buddies to deliever chocolate to all the children! TA DAH! And that is how the Easter Bunny was born! Well now that thats settled, I have to go help with dinner, I very happy because for dessert were having lemon meringue pie, YUM!

HAPPY EASTER ONCE AGAIN!

Happy Easter!!

Heii peeps!!! With the help of my neighbor and my sis, I have salvaged Easter. My neighbor brought a bunt cake, and a chocolate S and M, and my sister brought a giant chocolate cat. And yes Emma, if I had James Marsden, I would not need chocolate. He is ADORABLE!!! I am now having an obsession with James Marsden. I am going to worship him before he is dead. (ie Heath Ledger...I got to him too late.)

I am soooo happy for my sister!!!! She is now engaged!!! Her ring is a canadian diamond, and it is gorgeous. My sis says I can be a bridesmade, but not the made of honor. (I am too young... APPARENTLY. ) But I am still soo happy for her!!!! Her fiancee, (it sounds weird calling Sean her fiancee instead of boyfriend,) was really nervous, and is really, reaally excited too.

Anywhoo, I will blog later, after I wallow in my sisters glow and eat some chocolate.

Happy go Lucky....

Sophie!!!!!!!

HAPPY EASTER!

The Lord is risen, allelujah!

No, I'm not a crazy Evangelist, I just went to church this morning. It was really fun. (I'm not a crazy Evangelist for that either). I'm Roman Catholic anyway. You should all try going to church on Christmas or Easter, it's actually a lot of fun, and philisophical. Mostly I mock the bad singers the church choir. Is that considered a sin? I don't know. But it's a good experience to have, really.There's just a great sense of community, and if the church is pretty enough, just that can make you believe in God. That's enough preaching for now.

I'm having family over now for lunch, I'll blog about it later.

My Lysander

You're right Sophie, if James Marsden was 17 or even made himself look 17 he'd be Lysander for me too. (You don't even need chocolate Soph, isn't he better?) I watched Enchanted today where he plays Prince Edward-yes I noticed the Edward too- and I was upset at Gisele for not picking him. James is sooooo much better looking than Doctor dreamy. Maybe James Marsden can play Lysander in the movie for Within Hewitt Manor. I think I'll just have to dye my hair so that I could play Jo and change the ending so that Jo ends up with Lysander too. Just kidding. Though in real life I would have picked Lysander if I was her. He's so much hotter!
On a Facebook quiz, it says that James Marsden is meant to be my celebrity boyfriend. It's fate!
Enough about our beloved James Marsden for now.

I went to my Nanna and Nonno's today. I ate a giant 'dibs' type thing, strawberries, a veggie burger, grapes, rapini, fries, ketchup, bread, olives, a coke, and watermelon. They're Italian.
I got some chocolate and some mula- lot's of mula- as well. I do love those dollars. Plus I'm no longer broke to say the least! Thanks to my Nanna and Nonno for that one.

Alicia- My cousin Victoria's friend Heather is exactly like you, just two years older. Yes guys, there's more than one Alicia in the world! I shudder at the thought.
Oh, and by the way, there's room for you in my basilica too Sophie. You can entertain us everyone once in a while by playing the giant pipe organ. I may sing along.

NO EASTER!!!!

My mom is in Stratford with my grandparents for the weekend, and I asked my dad if we are going to celebrate Easter (ie chocolate, really good food,) and he said no! He said no to getting me and my brother chocolate!!!

I didn't eat any meat yesterday, but I did give my cat a piece of bacon and then lick my fingers. Does that count?

Oh, and Emma, since that house is awfully big, one more person wouldn't make a difference, right? I mean, I can cook, andplay piano...not that I would degrade myself to a servant just to live in the Basilica.

BTW I'm writing on the computer...thats in my room, and thats really exciting. I'm getting MSN today...or tomorrow.

Anywhoo, happy Holy Saturday, and I will blog later.

Heyo

Heiioooo,
Sorry dudes listening to RHCP, anyway, anything new? I need to borrow that Max Ride Book from someone, I feel so left out. I mean all you guys are talking about it and I'm all alone in the Max Rideless world. Oh, and Emma, I love you're picture it's so funny.
Happy Holy Saturday as Emma says, and BTW thanks for clearing that up for me. It makes sense now. Did anyone do anything today? I got rid of alot of clothes, and gave them to Good Will, and then I listened to meh ipod for a bit. Then I went to Ben's and watched Ratitouille(his little brother was there) and anyway later dudes.

Moving Buddies

Sure you can all move in with me! I definately can use some company at St. Peters, it's going to have a lot of open space. But you need to learn some basic Italian, it is in Vatican city after all.

I'm very proud of everyone who abstained from meat- excepting fish- for Good Friday. It's really not that hard if you noticed it. Oh, by the way, today is called Holy Saturday. Jesus was still dead today, so it is still part of the holy weekend. I'm going to my Nanna and Nonno's house today to celebrate with my cousin Victoria. I love Easter! It means lots of chocolate!

Here's my pic from the flock.

IT'S NOT THE LAST MAX RIDE!

Geesh Olivia, there's going to be twelve! That's only the fourth! Don't worry, JP said that the whole Max/Fang thing at least will be resolved to some extent in book five. Maybe Max will just stop flying away every time he tries to kiss her. That would be what I call 'making progress'.

Cody- Jesus was crucified Good Friday, and rose from the dead on Easter. Apparently he was also a big fan of the bunny rabbit and chocolate. Soooo much I have in common with Christ.

Sara- I'm glad you like my story so far. Is it freaky that Livi's making lemon squares and that's my whole chapter five? Please tell me that there isn't a mouse in yours Livi. Oh, and as for that video-. I have nothing to say.

Blah...Bored....Bacon

Heii dudes,
If you're confused about the title, I was bored and had bacon with breakfast so there ja go. So far my weekend has been very boring. I've cleaned my house, and played wii. Other than that nothing.
HAPPY EASTER!!!! Well I guess it's good Friday. I always get very confused, because what's Saturday? Is it like lazy Saturday or something. And isn't Easter about the like Christ dieing and then coming back to life? I'm not that religious so people are goign to have to fill me in. If so, Where the hell did the rabbit come from? And why is it a rabbit? Like honestly, no rabbit is ever going to smart enough to hide eggs around your house. And BTW, wouldn't you be worried if a bunny randomly wandered into your house and started hiding Easter eggs? I would be afraid it would turn into that rabbit form Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and like bite my head off. Then again I don't trot around banging coconuts together, so I think I'm okay.

Smelly Fish

Yes, so because its Good Friday and all, for lunch my mom made some fish and I had to eat it. It was ok, but for dinner were having ravioli with cheese in it instead of meat, YUMMY!
Emma, I'm really enjoying your story so far, very interesting. Last night I finished Born To Rock and now I'm reading the sequel to Stargirl.
Last night I watched sound of music (again) It's just a good movie to watch around Easter and Christmas.
Has anyone heard anything about this ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFkVqrlm8P0
I have no idea what it is.

EVERYONE HAVE A GOOD FRIDAY! (Im not about to say have a good good friday :P)

--Sara

Yay! I joined the flock!

The title says it all. I would have joined sooner, but I was having picture problems. I figured it out though Soph! It updated it to say that the picture must be under 2 megabytes, it should say on your information for the picture panel. If it's over, you may be able to crop it, or you can take another picture. Usually the less colours or items you have in your picture, the lower the MB.
I'll put up the pic of me in the flock as soon as I get the e-mail.

-Emma

P.S. Good Friday everyone. Remember not to say happy Good Friday; it wasn't a happy day when Jesus died. But get ready to say Happy Easter!

I agree about the title for Within Hewitt Manor Soph, thanks. Sara, be gentle with it this weekend okay?

Katie, I fixed your birthday on the important dates coming up. I was off by one day! Soooorrrry. I have a lot to remember dude. I memorized the poem Fire and Ice you know.

You should all memorize this line courtesy of Shauna: "You have the reaction time of a 6 year-old! You're watching Blues Clues, eating your f-ing cheerios in your teenage mutant ninja turtles underwear!" *

*Any mistakes in the above quote are not in any way a fault of anyone with the title 'Emma Givens'. If their are in fact errors, report it as soon as possible to your local police station and hide under your little mermaid bed sheets screaming "I didn't steal the cookie from the cookie jar".

Remember: ONLY FISH TOMORROW for all of you non-veggies out there. It's Good Friday.

I think I forgot something, oh well. Keep on blogging!
