I went into my bedroom. To me looked kinda like the room of a nine-year-old, with the stuffed animals surrounding my reading corner and the lite pink walls that would not have been my choice, but couldn't change. I doubt that the person we were renting from would appreciate suddenly dark blue walls.

I thought all of this as I walked into my room and closed the door. I saw the bright orange post-it note my mom must have been talking about on my dresser drawer, standing out in contrast to the dark red-brown of the wood. It said what the guy's name was, Cole Dennel, had called and what his number was. Cole Dennel? Even as I racked my memory, I knew that I hadn't ever heard that name before. Maybe it was a wrong number. Call him back and tell him that or just forget about it?

For some reason even now I don't truly know, I picked up the phone and entered the number given. I looked at my closed door, then at the phone and hit the little green phone that signified talk. Taking a breath, I raised it to my ear and heard it ring once. Twice. I released my breath and was about to hit end when someone picked up.

"Hello? Is this Natalie?" said a young guy on the other end. The first thing that entered my mind was is voice. It was like a lot of guys in high schools voices. Deepening but his didn't crack like my friends. Then the knowledge that he knew my name. How the heck did this stranger know that? When I didn't reply right away he asked if I was still there.

"Sorry. Yeah, this is. Who is this?" When he confirmed that his name was Cole, I replied. "I don't think you have the right Natalie. Or maybe the Natalie you want changed her number? You might want t-"

"This may sound weird but I have to ask." he said, interrupting me in the middle of my word. I frowned at the interruption and the serious tone his voice had taken. "Have you ever had something happen to you that didn't seem...natural? Like a vision, or being able to see and hear things other people can't or-"

My gut had frozen over when he had said "vision" and now I said "you definitely have the wrong Natalie. I'm sorry, goodbye" before hanging up quickly and turning off my phone.

I shivered, not because of the cold but I pretended it was and threw on a sweater before heading down stairs to get something sweet to eat. I tried to act like everything was normal but I knew that something big had just gone and I was not going to like it. Not one bit.

Shivers wracked my body as the car drove on. My teeth chattered and I tried to still my shivering, only to feel my gut twitch, making my focus drop and a giant quake to escape. I gave a shacking sigh and said to my sister, "Holy crap it's cold in here! Can't you turn the heat up?"

"It's as hot as it can go right now, give it time hon." She smiled at me, turning her head from the road to look at me beside her, riding shotgun. "If I could turn it up more, don't you think I would have already?"

I gave another sigh but nodded. I knew she was right, but I really needed a distraction. It was so crappin' cold!

My sister must have figured what I was thinking, because she turned on the radio. It didn't help, but I was glad that she tried.

As I listened to the song, mumbling it under my breath, I turned and saw the moon. I'd always loved the moon, for no reason. It looked so strong and complete right now. It was almost full and lite up the winter sky like a light bulb.

I shivered and turned away because being so close to the window wasn't helping heat me up.

~ ~ ~

I jogged inside so I could warm up as much as possible, because I thought it necessary to feel all of my body parts, such as toes and fingers. As I closed the door and headed for the closet, taking off my coat while walking, I called out a greeting to my mom, working hard on the computer.

She called out that some kid had called well I was away and that she had scribbled out the number given, that it was in my room, and that I should call him back tonight. I frowned, thinking, Him? What guy is calling me? All my friends already had my cell number, so it was useless to call my home. And plus, I made it clear to all that I wasn't going to date, because I thought it was useless, so why was some guy who obviously didn't have my cell calling my home?

I went upstairs to find out.

Xmas and update

2009-12-28T20:18:55Z

I had a awesome Christmas Day and Eve. I got money for books! (= And more money for just general stuff. A sterling silver necklace from sis plus comfy pj pants; a iPod/fm radio adapter thing from "santa" along with chocolate and money (!); books, a picture and money from grandparents; a sweatshirt and gloves(that are rainbow!)from auntie and uncle + cousins; a handmade necklace from my bestie Olivia; and money for me and a charity of my choice from my adopted uncle(really just a family friend but I've known him all my life)!

Oh and, drum roll please, the early hand singed proofed copy of The Reckoning(!) that I get for winning the video contest. I cannot give away any of the secrets from the book though, at Kelley's request. Awesome right?

So, as my sister puts it, I got a very good hull this year! I'm very happy and thank everyone.

Lost my iPod and just found it yesterday in the most obvious place in my room, which I looked in before and it hadn't been there so I'm confused. I think I have some fay people (they are known for stealing)! ( ; hehe

I'm going to see Avatar, which from all my friend's reviews, is amazing, so I'm really looking forward to criticizing the acting and script. They director is well-known by me so I hope he's still as good as I remember. See if it can live up to my wishes.

So all together I've had a awesome time this break so far. Still have tons of time! Oh, and have already read the Reckoning twice all the way through.....(= I'm not supposed to give anything away, but this is just my opinion. It's the best of the series.

Thanks for reading,

Story and explanation

2009-12-19T20:45:22Z

Okay, so my best friend Olivia (icittykat) and I are going to do a combined/intertwining story. Our protagonist will be different from the other person's, so you have a sense of view from each main characters side, and know how one feels about the other. It will be interesting to say the least. So either way, we'll both start a story that is going to mix and tangle. We want to see how this turns out so, if anyone's reading this at all comment about something if you did or didn't like it. Our story will not be on one journal, but both. Thank you for reading and I'll start to write.
~B
p.s. main characters name is Adecine, Addy.

~ ~ ~ ~

It started out as a normal day. So I don't think anyone can blame me for not realizing it wouldn't be as normal as I would have thought. Only I will forever blame myself.
~ ~ ~ ~
The bus dropped my off on the corner on the street across from my Mom's house. I walked across the street, backpack over one shoulder, texting after I was positive that no cars were coming. I stopped at the mailbox, grabbing the mail, then heading up the driveway. After taking off my jacket and shoes I looked through the mail while heading into the kitchen to grab a snack.

Then I saw the envelope. The one with MS Preforming Arts High School labeled across the front....

"Mom!" I yelled excitedly as I ran from the kitchen to the room upstairs that served as my mother's office space. "Mom, I did it! I did it! Oh my god!" I laughed, endorphins pulsing through my body.

As I rounded the corner to my mother's office, I heard her on the phone, saying "...I'm the one whose raised her and cared for her and given her attention and love. You have no right now to take her away from me like this. You can get whatever kind of people you want and bring this to court but I'm not giving up my daughter now. She and I have done great off without you and your schemes." She slammed down the phone and nearly missed the cradle, but didn't. She growled and wiped underneath her eyes with her hand, body towards the window. And away from me.

I didn't know what had just happened and I wasn't so sure I wanted to because my mother was as hard as stone. She was like a mountain to my calm lake. She reflected her strength into me. And yet she was crying. She never cried, or never in front of me.

I became scared, adrenaline replacing endorphins. I stepped back only to have my foot come down on one of my cats toys. It was a ball, the plastic kind that you can buy at Petsco for 25 cents. This one just happened to have a bell inside. When i stepped on it, the traitor bell rang.

My mother turned her head around to see me, standing there, with a silent wince on my face and the plastic ball at my feet.

She looked surprised, which happened a very rare amount of times. Than she looked at me with my silent wince on my face and said, "You know, you look like an idiot with that expression on your face."

I grinned weakly at her. I'm sure I did look stupid but that's also how I felt so I found it quite fitting. She gave me a lopsided grin in return.

When she looked at the papers in my hand, I remembered what I'd came rushing up here to tell her. I raised the papers and said, "Your never going to believe it Mom! I did it!"

See, I've been wanting to go to an art high school since I was ten-years-old. Four years later and my wish were still the same. When I say "art high school" most people either a) give me a look that says "you don't look like a geek retard" (that usually being if they're my age) or b) thinks I'm addicted to art. Sometimes I get both. But I'm not actually that good of a drawer and I've never really been "into" art. Maybe I should say "preforming arts" but then they think dance, like in the movie Step Up. I'm average at that, just like with drawing.

What I want to do is sing, professionally. I've been told I have an amazing voice, but I want to be a singer because of the thrills of singing. The endorphins zipping through your veins to give you extra power to hit that uber high note. And the feeling of achievement when you do hit it. I don't think anyone can describe the feeling unless the other person is a singer them self, and if they are, why would they need to describe it?

I thought all this as my mother looked at the papers saying that they have a spot for me in next years classes. And then she smiled one of her most radiant smiles and said "Well show me! Hand over those papers!" I laughed and walked in to her office, giving her the papers and a kiss as I passed.

I remembered only after a dinner from my favorite Thai restaurant what I'd heard earlier.

Wishing for luck

I have a Christmas Choir Concert tonight. And my class has only practiced with the other class.....twice. Crap, huh? And because of the grade I'm in, we suck. And all the guys voices are cracking, along with the some of the girls, so I can it the highest note in the class. SO I have a kind of ending solo. It SUCKS.

So, if your reading this, I don't care who you are. You can be some random stalker who got bored for all I care about right now. I just would really enjoy and be thankful if you wished me luck. Put it in a comment? I'm just kinda nervous. You can go anonymous if you want. Just, please. Thank you.

One good (or is it bad?) thing is that I not really have any homework. That's actually out of luck not charity of teachers but still. If it were any other day I'd appreciate it more, but not having a distraction when a little nervous but not scared, just kinda thinking, "shit, I'm going to hit the wrong note, huh?" is really quite miserable-making.

Worst of all the friends and random people, including the highest ranking popular people, have come up and told me that a guy friend of mine, one of the guys that has a crush on me but is still my friend, and I are the best singers in the choir. How do you respond to that? I mean, yeah, thanks. But now people around me are counting on me to do the best of the girls, which is really pressure-making, including their are other girls that are really good, and I feel like I'm taking attention away from them. I just have a strong voice that I'm not afraid to use. Other than that......

Thanks for reading and stuff,

Random babble?

2009-12-06T17:28:11Z

This is random news that I just want to put out there. I'm not sure why but I am.

So I'm going to try to write some stories on here, which I'd really appreciate if you commented on, so I can improve my writing skills. I need more learning experiences. So yeah, that first of all. And, by the way, I might not continue a story all the time through this, but I'm going to try. It's my end-of-year goal.

Schools going. No really new problems, except that 1 of my A's turned into a B. And then I C that I had turned into a B, which is better than a third of the class so I'm pretty happy (hard science test, which I got 98.6% on!). Some boys that have crushes on me seem to be leaving me alone now. YAY! But there seems to be a couple of replacement boys (why is it always the guy sitting next to me?) Other than that, schools pretty good.

I have finished all of my stupid Halloween candy, I only had half-a-pound anyways. Feel kinda chubby. Ce la vi. I'm growing again though, so maybe it was like adding fuel to fire? Though that kinda contradicts science doesn't it?

All my friends seem to all be going to Jingle Ball (big concert). Hehe, I think any innocents they have is toast. I can't wait to see their faces tomorrow! Though I wish that I had Monday off (Stupid accursed school).

Just got this new "toy" for mom that turns VCRs into DVDs and she's uber happy. She's converting our family tapes into DVDs and holy crap when my sister and I were small were we cute! And some of them I really think should be on Funniest Home Videos!

So, yeah, everyone is pretty happy. And I'm pretty content myself.

What are the three best books you have ever read and what are the three worst? What made them so good or bad?

Submitted By crazylove16

View 1108 Answers

Three best....hmm, I'm going to say my favorites, because by "best" I think of how well they were written and, well, some of my favorite books are written in a very normal, not hard vocabulary way of writing, but they are just so addicting. Also I must say that these will most likely my authors that I'll give examples of their work.....usually I follow a certain author for a short amount of time.

Okay, so here they are not in order cause they don't have any
Best:
1.Kelley Armstrong (The Summoning, The Awakening, lot of others)
2. Tamora Pierce (actually she writes quite well; first books in her many series=Alanna, Wild Magic, First Test, Tricksters Choice)
3.And here there is a tie....Garth Nix (Sabriel and lots of others) and Kristian Cashore (Graceling, Fire)
And a good amount of others

Worst:
1. Stephanie Myre (not sure I spelled that right and don't care; all her books suck)
2. Deep down popular
3.Anne of Green Gables (and that whole series)
And ,again, a good amount of others

Walking In The Dark - Part 1, Not Finished, Rough

2009-11-21T03:10:15Z

I slipped through the door that led from the kitchen to the backyard as quietly as I could. My parents had went to bed early. I started to reach for my cell phone, to make sure that I wasn't late and Sam wasn't going to come running, thinking I had gotten attacked and kidnapped while walking to his house, but than remembered that I'd put it in my bag. Which was over my shoulder. I sighed deeply, because I wasn't going to take it off just to get my stupid phone. Plus it was dark out and some company might help. If I didn't mistake him for one of the walking dead.

As I started to walk, I smelled something. It didn't smell right and as I crinkled my nose and sniffed again I was pretty sure what that smell was. I had been hoping that they could at least give me a week before another one came, but I should have guessed that they wouldn't obey my wishes. Not this time, at least.

"Crap," I muttered as I stopped and took my bag off my shoulder. I started digging around for my phone as normally I as I could make it look. When my hand closed around it, the pressure near my heart ebbed a little. Not much, but a little.

Then I heard the small crack from what felt like 7 yards away, and could start to hear....dry flesh on wood. That meant that, whoever it was, was closing in. And It wasn't in the best shape It had ever been in.

I slung my bag over my shoulder and started to walk again, a bit faster than I had before, and turned on my phone. As the welcome screen popped up, I heard the thing behind me start to waddle a bit faster to keep up.

"Crap, crap, crap!" I whispered as softly as I could. It doesn't matter that I knew, to some extent, what It was and how to deal with It. But that did not mean I didn't get freaked out every time something kinda like this happened. And I don't think anyone in my situation could blame me. But I still felt like a coward, and even though Sam said he'd do the same thing in my "situations", I knew he was lying to cheer me up. Because he's Sam, the one and only, fearless Sam.

Right then, though, I really wanted to believe him and prove him right about me and my bravery. Though personally I would have preferred to have my little act of bravery in the day, when the sun was out, but than again, my life really isn't that fair. Never has been.

I could feel it now, as I could all of It's kind, though it was at least 15 feet away. I closed my eyes. Took a deep breath through my mouth, opened my eyes, and turned. I could see something bumbling towards me and not being able to see it clearly really freaked me out but I stood my ground and said "Stop, Dead! You may come no closer until you have stated your purpose of following me!" It was a command that all the dead had to listen to, even if the person speaking it had less power then the Summoner, the necromancer that had called it back into Life.

The thing stopped walking and tried to speak, but it's mouth was very rotten and I couldn't understand it. Then I commanded it to send what it wanted to say telepathically. It takes a lot of concentration on both parts, mine more then It's, but we tried.

It's brain was starting to rot, likes It's mouth, but I got the gist. It was actually a He, and he needed help getting back to Death after his Master had died. Of natural or other causes, he didn't know but it really didn't matter anyways.

I had expected all of this and told it to stay still until I was finished. I sat down cross-legged on the ground after taking off my jacket and placing it down first. I started to visualize the weird large cave-ish/abyss thing that was the entrance into Death, with it's thick gray mist swirling around you until you weren't sure that it even had a beginning, or for that matter, an end. And where, even though you didn't know exactly where you were, there was a pulling at your heart to head even deeper in an uncertain direction that all necromancers knew was really True Death.

As I thought about all of this, I started searching for the dead creature in front of me and found it 10 feet away, waiting patiently. What I saw was a column of glowing gray light with a Necromancers Knot around it's waist. I unwound the magic in the Knot, a type of dark gray, black at times, ever moving chain of never ending magic marks, and let the spirit free. I waved and watched as it glided through the mist into Death.

When I was sure the spirit was gone, I started my journey back into Life. Closing my eyes I concentrated. I took a stepped back in Death and said the words that would open the entrance for a necromancer to get back into Life.

And when I opened my eyes, I was back in the forest, on the ground, where I could see moon beams hit the forest floor through the branches. I once sighed and stretched. Then I grabbed my backpack, picked up my coat, and started off to Sam's house...Again.

My Mixed Up Life!

2009-11-10T03:28:56Z

Right now I'm laying out all the good things too be happy for in my life.

If you've been following me, which I doubt unless your my best friend Livy (icittykat) than you know that I've been complaining a lot about the bad and I feel ashamed for it so I'm counting the good.

I have some VERY GOOD NEWS! I won Kelley Armstrong's video contest, though not for my actual video thing down below but for the review part. I'm now getting a advanced copy of the Reckoning, the final book in the Darkest Powers series. YAY! Than I also won another, smaller, less known contest from her again and am now getting a advanced copy of the Summoning (first book, which I don't own) that is signed to top it off! Wow, right? I have GREAT luck. Sometimes.... =) So either way, continuing on. I have a Facebook, not really sure if that should be in the good news section or not cause I dont rally care about that kinda thing. I have gotten to really good letters home from my chior teacher saying how much she loves me and how great a job I do and what a pretty voice. I personally think she's exaggerating but one of my friends did say she mistook my voice for a very good song on the radio. I'm done with spanish but now am in really retarded Auto-robotics (Uber blah, ugh). I found out that some of my friends eat nothing really and that's why they're so thin so now I don't feel fat at all. I know I never was but it's the annoyingly weak girl in me sometimes. Just got some new cloths! (YAY cause they're comfy and big so I won't grow out of them TOO quickly) And my friend from birth just got her first boy friend who's really nice and cute [go her (= ]. I'm also, and most importantly, going to the lodge with my best friend Livy for the first part of thanksgiving week! YAY! She's the first friend I've brought ther and I know she'll love it!

So I have to go now (sis is kicking me off by playing the piano really loudly).

Have a great day,

My Bday's in 5 days! The countdown is drawing to an end! I'm not sure if that was a happy face or not.

Well, I finally got a facebook. I decided that I'd see what all this fuss was about and check it out. And it's...interesting. I'd never pay for it though is all I'm gonna say.

I won the video review contest from chloesaunders.com by Kelley Armstrong and am gonna get a advanced copy of the Reckoning. I'm very excited! Now that was a happy face! See? =)

I'm growing again and am probably gonna be 6 feet tall by the time I'm out of high school. Sad thing, I'm 120 pounds and super skinny. Like the length of your hand...sideways. Yeah.

Oh, and my hair in finally gold again! =) By nature, of course. Dye smells. But I'm getting some red extensions. I have to pay for them but it will make me happy. Add some color to my life.

Drama shit? Still WAY to drama-y for my taste but not half as bad as it was. Though I now have 6 guys with crushes. *Sigh* Atleats I'm still getting A's! AND choir ensemble is good, plus dance. Though we are forced to do christmas crap already. *Another deep sigh, yet is smiling*

Plus soccer is almost over. I'm not really sure what my emotions are on that. I love playing. But where I am, it's already snowed! *snorts in unhappiness* And I haven't seen the full, blue sky in days! Jeez, it's suddenly the rainforest.

AHHHHHHHHHHH! My birthday is in 13 days! SERIOUSLY! The count down to me gaining age has began! Again! =)

Sorry, it's just, it struck me out of the blue that my birthday is THAT CLOSE *puts fingers together in the universal sign for short when you not describing a person* and I'm not even sure if I want any of my friends to celebrate. I mean, if you have been following me, which I doubt cause than you'd either have no life or are a stalker -or both- than you probably know that it's been really....rough for me lately. And I just had a new challenge come up and it's mayham right now, complete chaos. BLAHHHH! You know that kinda thing.

Well back to my main goal in posting this. As you smart people may have guessed my birthday is on the 25th this month. Yup, five days away from Halloween. Samhain in Ireland(I believe that I spelled that incorrectly). I'm not sure exactly what I will be, I think a cat, but not sure. And I'm rambling, sorry.

My birthday is in 17 days! Most people would be super happy about this but I'm not. I.....feel old even though I'm not very old at all. I don't know, I'm just not enjoying getting older all of a sudden. I feel like my last birthday was only a week ago and I'm starting to really get the saying "time flies" and it's not making me to happy. *Sigh*

I really wish I could have a hug right now. I know that sounds childish and stuff but everything at school is just....flying past than slowing down and making things unbearable. I just....feel like I'm faking it when I feel happy at school. I have to get away from the city soon or atleast be fully in it. I'm just so confused. And I miss New Zealand. And I feel self-centered for feeling so sorry for myself.

And the cherry on top is that I have four guys with crush on me at school. And one of them's one of my good guy friends. Sucky huh? Life has a grudge against me and I'm starting to think that it's waiting for me to crash under the weight. But I'm way to stubborn that :] And have to much life and wisdom and crap in front of me. Never give up. I'd say that's my moto but it's actually "Act brave now, run like hell later." :]

Okay, now that I have that off my chest, I figure I should do my homework. Probably wise, wouldn't you say?

Oh yeah, that's right. I feel accomplished! Want to know why? (This isn't a yes or no answer it's a sit-down-and-listen-to-what-I'm-saying kinda question). I won a video contest for a review that I did for Kelley Armstrong's books, the ones in the Darkest Powers series.

YAY! Oh and a place on the winners page of the website! I'm seriously happy!

Than, to make my day even better, I found out that I'd made choir ensemble! AWESOME! Except we have to do really silly songs. Well atleast I made it! Plus in spring we get to do lollipop! YAY! (Not either of the rap ones, the one that goes "lollipop, lollipop, oh lolly, lolly, lolly, lollipop!" Yeah that one!)

Oh yeah, that's right, I rock! *laughs* joking!

First Day Back To School

2009-09-10T00:40:06Z

Today was my first day back to school. And I actually get to be a normal student and not new this year! It's amazing because I'm always either moving houses or movie schools and this year, it's neither! I'm not just joining this school either. I was there for a little less than half a school year last year! Isn't that rad? I feel like acting like a dork right now.

Good news: I found all my classes and had a group of friends with me almost always so I never got lost. I have some awesome teachers, though they were supposed to be crappy. To tell the truth, I think I got the best of the bargain. One of my friends has a teacher that thinks her class room is a airplane. And she got lucky. Sad, huh? (It's actually her birthday today and I'm really happy for her.) I also didn't have very much homework and have been done for a while now. Yay! *Does happy dance*

Bad news: I wore make up, which actually looks good on me and I did catch some looks (which piss me off to no end) but I hate the stuff. I found out that I'm apparently the none-snooty kind of popular person, and that's the reason no one a)messes with me and b)why the highest ranking populars' are suddenly being nice to me. Personally, I just want a good group of none-drama loving friends that I can trust. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be a friend group of any kind because girls my age like to gossip. Why? It sucks! And it's boring.

So yeah, that's me life in a nut shell right now. Interesting, right?

Your a liar if you say it is and I really want to hit you with a spatula! :)

'Kay, well gonna search for something to do so..........Bye. See you later.

State Fair (wow sounds like I'm a hick!) and the Haunted House

2009-09-05T01:33:28Z

Yes, I did just go to the State Fair, which I honestly don't get. I mean, why do people think it's fun? It's really boring and MAJORLY over priced. I mean, things-that-should-only-be-a-buck-are-five kind of over priced. Ouch. It was my second time going and I'm guessing my last. I have to admit that I wasn't born in Minnesota and maybe that takes some of the passion out of it, but personally I'll stick to cabins in the middle of woods rather than boring, crowded places that hold no meaning to me. Ugh. Well I did enjoy one thing. The Haunted House. It wasn't actually scary and was hilarious because the girl in front of me kept on screaming.

Plus, I got to push one of the people who worked their. Wow, I sound violent.

Well, here's the story, then you can decide and post if you think I'm violent.

So this guy who's all dressed up trying to scare people comes out from these chains put in a opening to a room-y thing (you know the kind, it's kinda like a a big window thing that leads/looks into a waiting room where the guy had been). So this guy chooses me to try to freak out. THat was his mistake. See, these kinda things don't scare me and, weirdly, help center me so that I can react faster. Weird, like I said. Well either way, this guy is coming at me, and instinct kicks in. He's not actually weak or anything, he's pretty buff, but I push him back about five, six steps. What comes out of my mouth is "Get out of my way, dude." Yeah, I know, I need better phrases, but I'm not exactly Buffy. So either way, he comes at me again, the idiot, and I push back again and say "Dude, I mean it, get out of my way." Well He starts to come forward again I'm sick of it so I start to step forward to push him all the way out of my way (the hall was a super small one) but my flip-flop comes off and he's still coming forward, so I fix him with a glare and say "Dude, my flip-flop fell off, so leave me alone." After that he got out of my way, finally. It took the idiot long enough.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the whole thing happened well the lights were flickering and crap, so ever time you blinked, he was that much closer to you. It pissed me off, that's all I'll say.

Yeah so, that's my Haunted House story. Lame I know, but seriously, my daily life is ten times scarier than that place. *Sigh* I really wanted someone to accomplish the impossible by making me scream. Wow, I need to get a life. Actually I have one, and that's why I've been so busy lately.

Well, I'm done now so.....Bye.

Rant

2009-08-26T16:30:02Z

Hello! This is Olivia(iCittyKat) and Bridget (Bubblebbook) We are here to give you a Rant. Because...well we love ranting. So allow us to enlighten you with this glorious Book Couple's Rant. So Shut up and enjoy the ride.
*Warning:Contains spoilers*

First. Our favorite series,The Darkest power series. When the hell are Chloe and Derek going to get together!?!?!?!?! We're DYING here!! We understand that the Reckoning isn't yet out (Dammit) but we are all hoping for them to get together,most fans of the series want them to...most. If they don't...well then expect a angry mob to be started and to go to Kelley Armstrong's home and...well....don't ask cause we aren't sure yet about that.
So if you have read the first three chapters of the Reckoning Kelley has given us on Cholesaunders.com then you will know what we're talking about. If not...GO READ THEM!!!! NOW!!!! Thank you.
Okay! So we suspect that Derek is going to change fully the next time,and Chloe will follow him. (Even if Derek dosn't want her to.) Just a theory.
Plus(warning, the subject has kinda changed)!! Simon is totally jealous! The PIG! It's his brother she is falling for! He's had ton's of girlfriends before, at least that's what it sounds like! He dosnt really care that much about Chloe,not as much as Derek. Derek has saved Chloe's life countless times,and Simon...what the hell has he ever done for her?!

Secondly. Pride and Prejudice,Elizabeth and Mr.Darcey. We know they do get married at the end,but! It is just SO annoying of them to be...well you know! Love-hate-y with eachother.I mean they don't want to admit they are in love,because of their Pride. Hence the title Pride&Prejudice. Yet they make the perfect couple,and they even kinda know it,and yet...they don't.Their kinda ignorant about their feelings of love towards eachother. I mean, didn't they completely lose their crappin minds of something while talking?!
Favorite Quote from movie(off of the book):
"What are men compared to Rocks and Mountains?"-Mary (Pride and Prejudice)
They are...equal? It just depends we guess.

Thank you for listening to us rant about things you probably don't give a shit about. Please comment below.

~Olivia and Bridget.

P.S. we wrote this at 1 in the morning so....forgive us? hehe, thanks for reading

Ren Fest

2009-08-23T23:53:19Z

I just went to the Renaissance Festival (your socially retarded if you don't know what that is. Look it up idiot.) down near Victoria with one of my best friends, Olivia. It was so much fun because my uncle works there and that means we not only got in for free, we got to go in where only the people who work there get to go and dress up.

Really all we did was goof off and wander around, trying to find things and failing, though I think that just made it ten times more fun.

It was a more middle eastern theme for scheduled events this time, so we heard some Indian music and saw some belly dancers. They were shiny. And jingly. You could always hear when one was coming. I still think that maybe I should have gotten a shiny, jingly belly dancer scarf. Though I would never have used it. *Sigh*

I had a blast, though, and I'm pretty sure she did too. She rocks and I hadn't seen her in a while so I was really happy, and still am. She would have slept over, but she had to go to her nieces baptism. Which we both thought was kindof funny cause she's not religious at all.

Got to go eat dinner but just wanted to write that it was a lot of fun, except when I broke her flip-flop and had to duct tape it back together, though that was funny now that I think about it.

Well whatever. Got to go.
Bye

Just got back

2009-08-21T02:33:29Z

I got back yesterday from a cabin up north, and holy crap I am happy. Tired, but happy, and way more relaxed then I was. I was so tense, I got a massage and the woman who does it for us said "what the heck have you been doing to be so stressed? Your not even in high school yet!" Nothing, that's the problem. So we (my dad, Anya[friend], Adam[Anya's friend], and I) go up north to Sandstone, which is all forests [:)] and I instantly relax.

After the sanah-then-jumping-in-pond thing, we play cards (Oh hell, that's the card game, or as I like to call it, screw your neighbor!) and Anya gets kind of drunk, but not all the way(she was really funny, making a whole bunch of stupid jokes). I just stuck to my water, thank you very much though, cause a) I'm underage and b) it's more amusing to watch a usually very centered person who is super responsible act like an idiot. Plus the wine was not even from Australia and peppermint shnubs didn't sound good and, atleast this is what they told me, tasted like like mouthwash.

Ewww. Who wants to drink and alchohalic beverage that tasts like mouthwash? Doesn't apeese me I have to admit.

So Either way, the second day we go out on a walk next to the river, which we had to drive to, and they had these boulders that made for great rock climbing, and they were pretty darn big. Some of the rock walls were 60 feet high, and those were just the ones we climbed, there were others WAY higher. I'm five five and a quarter, and that's not exactly small, (atleast that pretty darn big for someone in middle school, who, I might add, is a girl, meaning I'm still growing) but these things made me a midget in conparison. Next on our agenda was to go to this raptor center with a climbing wall and high-rope course, niether of which we get to use, and that was fun cause we goofed off and looked at the animals. (I probably should add that Anya and Adam are both in collage so yeah, and this is the last year of that for both of them.)

Then we got back to the cabin, which I forgot to add is very beautiful and hand constructed and made of wood, and I showed them the tree house that I'd found (hey, I'm an explorer and even though curiosity may have killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back.). Then we headed inside and they taught me Hearts, which is fun. 9 o'clockish, we go outside and start this huge, blasing fire, then roast smore's, after which we remember that we haven't eaten dinner and go inside and made Spaghetti.

Next morning, which we all had gone to bed after a new day may I add, we wake up and it starts pouring. I mean cats and dogs didn't cut it. We had water buffalo and rhanios instead. And, to make matters worse, it's the day we need to head back home. Crap huh? Well we got through it, actually even today it's off and on, but we are all home safe now and it was a lot of fun so I can't conplain.

More on life soon,
B

I'm an idiot who loves books apparently

2009-08-12T23:02:12Z

I stayed up 'til 1:40, am, reading a book and eating popcorn when I should have gone to bed at my normal time of 11:45, 12. Not cool cause now I'm zonked. Including that fact that I then got up at 9, which means I actually got a good amount of sleep, but of course my growing body disagrees. *sigh* And now I'm getting a headache. Oh and I forgot to mention that it's my father's birthday today. Aren't I just fricken' brilliant? Jeez I make Brittney Spears look smart right now. Okay, that's a fib cause even on my worst days I'm smarter than her.

That was actually a good diss.

Well either way, I'm reading books (of course) right now and they're really good.

I have a list that I'm going to bored you with cause I really want someone to suffer here with me. Though, if your reading this, it might actually interest you cause you have no life. Hence the reason you would be reading such a boring post.

Righto, books (Oh and these are like books I really like, not that are only okay):

The Graceling is a really good book. The author is Kristin Cashore

The Summoning and Awakening by Kelley Armstrong, which are in the same series, the series being The Darkest Powers.

First Test by Tamora Pierce is a good one. It is a series. Protector of the Small. Good books. Actually you should check out all her books, she's really good.

Dime store magic by Kelley Armstrong. It's actually the 3rd. book in the Women of the Otherworld series.

Prom dates from Hell by Rosemary Clement-Moore. Series: Maggie Quinn: Girl vs. Evil

Blue is for Nightmares by Laurie Faria Stolarz. Series: don't know name.

Harry Potter of course. All the books.

I have to go, so see ya.

Writer's Block: Proven by Science

2009-08-12T22:21:42Z

Do you believe everything has a scientific explanation?

Submitted By mesnyder_92

View 513 Answers

No, I don't.

I believe that there are somethings that can not be explained and never will be through science, though gut feel will usually answer weather or not they maybe dangerous. We may explain them away but we will never REALLY know the full truth. That's what I believe. There are laws in science that I know are true, such as the law of gravity. But no, everything doesn't have a scientific explanation, in my opinion.

Oh and I don't actually have writers block, just really wanted to answer that.
