Another Drawing by Moi


I had my first ever commissioned drawing. (Well, excluding Kiki's requests....) This is it! Featuring Safara and her loyal servant John. (Sorry, John! :D)

Random caption I made up for no apparent reason:
"JOHN! Go eat tapioca!"


I think Saf's arm looks funky.... oh, well......

NaNoWriMo


AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WHAT WAS I THINKING???

Anyway, it's a week before November...... which just happens to be the "write a novel in a month" month. And guess what? I'm doing it.

So, as you can probably guess by the outburst above, I'm really extra freaked out about this whole deal. I'm DOOMED!!!!!!!!

Anyway, there you
go. For more information about my new obsession/torture, click HERE.

The joys of...... shopping?

Lately, my sister and I have found that our favorite place in this small town is.... the mall. How did we get this way? Seriously, what is it about teenage girls that has an almost magnetic attraction to SHOPPING??

I don't know. I only know that 1.) webkinz and miniclip are no longer huge, time consuming things in my life and 2.) Auntie Anne's has the best pretzels on the planet.

So, teenage girl is OUT. If you need me, I'll be at Target.

My friend who writes (continued)


I almost forgot.... here's the cover I made for her book. :D

One of my friends.....

.......is a writer!
She's a relatively new friend of mine (I met her at 4-h) and she gave me her devinART page link. It's really cool, I advise you to check it out and read her Percy Jackson fanfiction and look at her awesome drawings. (Link found HERE)

Lately, she's started writing a new story as well. This one is her original idea, and I honestly can't wait to get my fingers on her first chapter. She's a really talented writer. (link to her official story site HERE!)

Anyhoo, just wanted to blurt that out! :D

Soundtrack for "Fang"

I'm a HUGE Maximum Ride fan, and so I tend to talk to other random fans of it. Well, anyway, I heard about this song that someone thought was perfect for the ending of "Fang" (the current last book in the series... there's another coming out this February.) Soooooooo I looked it up and...... it. is. PERFECT.
(At least I think so.)
So anyway, here's the link to the youtube version: CLICK HERE.

A Random Observation

I'm an avid journalist. I also tend to go back and read random excerpts from my journal. Last night, while reading it, I noticed that Kievan has extremely bad luck near her birthday.
My entries:

Febuary 4, 2007 (Kievan's birthday)
"Today there was a tornado!! The siren went off and we all
got into the hallway. We were all really scared and the other kids cried."

Febuary 5, 2008 (day after Kievan's birthday)
"We had to
go to church with Mrs. Rebbecca today because Kievan is really sick with the flu."

February 2, 2009 (2 days before Kievan's birthday)
"Our mom was taken to the hospital tonight. Somethin
gs wrong with the baby! I'm really, really, really worried."


Yup. Poor Kievan. :P
