hello everyone! glad to see you reading my journal. haha. yeah whatever

so here's the scoop: i've been contemplating the serious bromance going on between Guy and the Sheriff on BBC's Robin Hood (my faaaaavorite show ever) and was searching for some good fanfics. finding none, i decided, "hey, i'm a writer - if I want something done right, I'll just do it myself!"

so basically....

i'm writing a Giz/Sheriff pairing slash fiction.

you heard me. a slash fanfiction.

i hope you all read it and enjoy it - i'm actually putting a lot of effort into making it. it's gonna be good, and if people actually like it, i might make it into a miniseries. and it might not be JUST Giz and the Sheriff...

so that's all. just wanted to warn you. ^__^ and also to exploit this whole journal skin thing.

i'm so devious.

duh, i'm a freakin dA deviant!

hahaha. eedios, bart!

Yaaaaaaaay!! We have journal skins now!

So here's what's up:

1. I'm working feverishly on Twelfth Maiden and Sisters of the Light. They're both coming along really well, and i am super excited.

2. School is ok. Not much to report there.

3. I'll be posting much more soon. I may be getting a beastly new camera for my birthday, so expect a multitude of pictures.

4. I'm bored so you can also expect a journal quizzy type thing.

that's about it.

HURRAY FOR SKINS!!

i'm tired.

here are some updates:

1. 2 new stories: i'll give you both synopses and you get to pick which one i work on first! don't you love having that kind of power? Ready?

1. Second Skin:
The year is 1908 in London. Amelia Axton's father Arthur, a scientist, has just been found murdered in his study and his notes on his most recent line of work are missing. Amelia discovers that she holds the key to decoding the notes - which were in a cryptic diary that Arthur sent her while she was away at boarding school - and must finish her father's work studying the strange and powerful substance known as Second Skin before she too is killed for its secrets...

2. Sisters of the Light:
Four young women. Four extraordnary powers. One mysterious book. One incredible destiny...
Four college students - Eva, Rora, Tatiana, and Rochelle - are brought together by the sorceress Morgan le Faye to help her find the powerful Book of Souls, which holds countless dark and light spells of great power. However, Morgan is not the only one looking for the book, as the dangerous sorceress Silvaril du Royce wants it as well for her own sinister ends. Can the girls use their combined powers to defeat Silvaril and recover the book before all is lost?

PICK ONE. Whichever storyline gets the most votes will be the one I work on.

2. Much Ado About Nothing is getting ever closer... The production goes up in 2 weeks. 2 WEEKS. It's insanity!!

3. I turn 19 in 20 days!! Huzzah!

4. ummm.....oh yeah. i'm hopefully going to be composing a few new poems soon. it just depends on when the inspiration hits me. i've been back into my creative zone lately, so i have a feeling there will be poetry soon. i will also be trying to compile a poetry book that I will publish on Lulu.com so that if you like, you can buy a copy. I may do a contest for the cover and artwork and whoever wins will get a free copy. Signed, of course.

5. last thing: if you're a Robin Hood fan and have seen season 2, please follow this link: [link]
I made this video tribute to Robin and Marian, and I always like to hear people's thoughts on my vids. Either leave a comment there if you have a YouTube account, or you can always note me or comment on my page if you don't. Thanks!!

That's about it. I may do a fun little questionnaire journal soon, but idk. I still have to decide.

1. I am having a terrible time right now because of my statistics class. it's the only class i'm not doing well in, and it's really bringing me down mentally and emotionally. I'm really trying to do well, and i really want to do well, but I'm not remembering the material and i'm losing my focus very easily. it's making me really depressed and i REALLY don't need that right now. -______- boo.

2. my laptop (again) is not working. the internet is all screwy and i can't access it at school. GAAAAAAAAAHHHH. i brought it in to be looked at and the guy who checked it out was like, "Yeah, I don't know what to do...this is stumping me." so i'm freaking out.

3. Halloween is on its way. That's probably the only thing i'm really looking forward to right now. everything else is just kind of "mehhhh nooooo." but halloween is exciting. i love my costume (and from the response i've gotten on the two pictures, you do too!) and i just can't wait.

4. You probably don't need or want to know this, but i've started getting really deeply depressed again lately. Like to the point where on my way home from school, I'm thinking what would happen if I got into an accident or if I just didn't come home. Life isn't THAT bad, but sometimes I feel like there's no way out. It's really bringing me down, and with all the drama i'm going through with friends on top of it, i'm starting to worry that I'll fall apart again. i DON'T need that. but somehow I feel like there's no avoiding it. I'm going to bring it up to my therapist on friday and see what she says, because this needs to stop.

5. um...oh yeah. I started a new play called Girls Will Be Boys. more info if you bug me about it.

k bye.

1. money-hungry corporations suck. i am a HUGE Pirates of the Caribbean fan, as you all know. And I mean HUGE. Like, 400lbs huge. (except i don't weigh 400lbs...it was just a metaphor). They're making a fourth one. And I am VERY sad. I thought it would be great - yay, more pirates! - but when i found out the rumours were true....i was pissed. I liked the way they left it. I don't think they need any more. And if Orlando and Keira aren't coming back, WHAT'S THE POINT?!?! I love Jack and Barbossa, but as much as I do...I just can't seem to be happy about this. HELP.

2. drunk drivers suck. A six-year-old boy that lived a few towns away from me was killed by one as he was crossing the street a few days ago. it's ridiculous. PEOPLE DON'T FREAKING LEARN. It may sound mean, but I don't care if the drunk driver gets hurt. If you're stupid enough to drive drunk, you deserve to get hurt, but the people around you don't. STOP DRUNK DRIVING. NOW.

3. selfish people suck. The cast list for Much Ado About Nothing was posted at my college yesterday, and a woman who said she didn't want a part got the lead. But that's not all - ohhhhh no. She told EVERYONE that the director told her that she wanted this woman to play Beatrice, and that if she gave her the part, would the woman take it. The biotch said, "Of course!" which left a whooole bunch of us pissed because we either didn't get a part or we got a small role. If you say you don't want a part, DON'T BE SELFISH AND TAKE ONE. I don't care that Pat (the director) asks! If you go into the audition with no intention of being in the play (just for the audition experience) and take the LEAD ROLE, you can just go do explicit things to yourself.

whatever.

on the lighter side, my play First Blood is coming along BEAUTIOUSLY. it's soooo good so far. but i may change the part i'm working on now...can't decide how fast i want it to play out.

ah well.

live and learn.

omgomgomgomgomg.

seriously.

ROBIN HOOD RETURNS TOMORROW NIGHT @ 9!!

i'm freaking out over here. i was worried there wouldn't be a season 3, but my fears are gone!
it's going to be the last season, which is kinda sad, but hey - i'll get it on DVD like the other 2 seasons.

here's the sneak peek: [link]

go see it. NOW.

the only thing that's bugging me is Gizzy's hair. Long? On him? Yuck.

but otherwise, I'm incredibly excited. unfortunately, i'm WORKING tomorrow when it premiers, which suuuuuucks. but i'll see it. God help me, I WILL see it!!!

...and then proceed to cry, laugh, jump around, and pee myself at the same time.

YAY!!

p.s.> if anyone knows how to use video clips in making videos for youtube and you're really bored, I have a request: please make a video of Robin and Marian to the song "One Moment More" by mindy smith. I don't know how to do it, and i don't think a video of only pictures would do them justice. If you do want to do this, note me and i'll send you the song file. THANKS!!

1. I start college on TUESDAY!!! I can't wait. I have one class that day, and that's IT. It's Stagecraft, which looks totally bomb, too.

2. I met the head of the drama club and a professor of theatre at orientation the other day, and he's SUPER cool. I talked to him about looking at some of my work and he sounded really eager and excited to check it out! So that could be in the works....

3. I ALSO found out that the semester production will be Much Ado About Nothing which is beastly cause i LOOOOOOVE Shakespeare.

4. Even better, auditions are in TWO WEEKS!!!!! i freaking flipped out when i found out. I'm DEFINITELY trying out. I really want the part of Hero, but I'll accept whatever is given to me. I'm just so excited!

5. Progress is being made in great strides on The Twelfth Maiden. I worked a lot on it today, and it's coming along beautifully.

6. I wrote out a couple of monologues that may get put into an upcoming one-act play I'm considering writing. They're pretty funny, but I need to finish all 5 soon.

ummm....I think that's it for now. I'll be journalizing Wednesday (because i won't be home at ALL on Tuesday) about everything that happens on my first day!!

Casey Brightman does not believe in fairy tales anymore. Ready to attend college in Amherst, Massachusetts, she has moved on to bigger and better things than unicorns, magic, and people with wings. However, that mindset may change shortly after she arrives at collegeÂ

After stumbling upon a faerie burgh in the woods near her school a week before the start of the semester, Casey meets Spindlebright and Tamiran Â two feisty faeries. Of course, Casey refuses to realize that they are more than a figment of her imagination, and dismisses the visit as a dream. But when Spindle returns alone, trying to tell Casey that she is needed to stop the civil war that has broken out among the Daoine Sidhe, or faerie community, Casey decides to investigate. Sure enough, the wicked dark faerie Marosmontus has risen in power against the faerie queen Alieniel, and war threatens to tear the entire court apart. Casey, with the help of her college friend Theo, Spindlebright and the handsome faerie Ataniel, realizes that she is the only one who can wield the famed Iarann ClaÃomh, or Âiron swordÂ brought to the burgh by the first Protector. Armed with the sword and the help of her new faerie friends, Casey must stop this war and rid the burgh of Marosmontus's treachery once and for all...

what do you think?? there's obviously more than just that to the whole story, but i've got some interesting twists for the story.

oh, in other news...
1. failed my first road test. going again later this week to hopefully get my license for real this time

2. been doing really well about not biting my nails.

three of them are growing quite nicely now.

3. aaand....i have a new play in the works. It's called Straight on Til Morning, and it's about a young woman with a Peter Pan complex. if you want more details, just ask.

My.

God.

I am SOOOO stoked. Here's the scoop:
I got inspiration from the poem Jabberwocky (see [link] if you have no idea what I'm talking about) about a year ago, but I hadn't had time to process it and develop a real story.

Well now I have.

And my very very good friend, ~tptzre and I are now making that story into...

A GRAPHIC NOVEL!!!!!

It's called Jabberwocky (how apropos) and the basic summary is that these two boys fall through the Looking-Glass and find themselves in this curious world called Salgnikool. There, they get thrown into the midst of a feud and a dark age where Salgnikool is led by the evil Lady Astrix. Without giving too much away, they have to save the rightful matriarch, kill Astrix, and survive the terrifying Jabberwock!

What do you think?!?! PLEASE GIVE US FEEDBACK! (that means both me and ~tptzre) Notes, comments, anything. We just need to know if this is going to be worth fully publishing and getting a copyright and mass-producing it.

I'm the head writer for this novel, and my bestie is in charge of drawing it out and setting up the panels. We'll probably both color it, and we might even post a sort of "preview," if you will, up here to raise support and a fan base. (hehe, i know that was pretty pretentious).

But please give us feedback, and we're working hard on this project. Thank you all, my lovely dear darling deviants!

Andromeda: I've got long dark brown hair, dark blue eyes, and unfortunately pale skin. And I burn after being in the sun too long, so it's not like I can get a tan...
Azaera: Dark hair that falls to my shoulders, hazel eyes that change to amber when I'm...thirsty *wink*, and alabaster skin.
Noah: *sighs* Ginger hair, green eyes, and normal skin. And when I'm a werewolf, I have ginger fur, which is GREAT for camouflage...jk. Not funny.
Mercutio: Almost-black hair, brown eyes, and medium skin from being in the sun on deck all day.

Siblings?
Andromeda: Just one, my brother Orion.
Azaera: One unfortunate sister. Though I haven't seen her in years. Her name is - was - Ravina.
Noah: Yep, my baby sister Fiya. Short for Sofiya. And she's not really a baby.
Mercutio: I had one sister, Ophelia. She's been missing for a long time, though.

If you don't like a person you...
Andromeda: Listen to them as politely as possible, then excuse myself and forget everything they ever said.
Azaera: Cut them out of the picture.
Noah: Probably punch them. Annoying people suck.
Mercutio: Steal their ship.

Have a job?
Andromeda: I'm the chatelaine of my vampire coven. That means I'm kind of like an elected matriarch.
Azaera: Matriarch of the most deadly vampire coven in England.
Noah: Monster hunter, like my mom and dad.
Mercutio: Privateer, actually. NOT PIRATE.

Sex?
Andromeda: Female, and quite proud of it.
Azaera: Is that an offer?
Noah: My father already gave me that talk. OH!! I get it. I'm a guy. *phew*.
Mercutio: Quite male, thank you.

Best and worst characteristics?
Andromeda: Best...probably my sense of humor. Worst has got to be my "on-the-fence" nature about things.
Azaera: My best trait is my vampiric abilities. I'm the strongest vampire around. Worst? Is there such a thing?
Noah: Best is my laugh. Worst is my neurotic tendencies about my family.
Nercutio: My determination is my best. My impatience is my worst.

What would your role be in a movie?
Andromeda: The best friend. I'm okay with being on the sidelines even though everyone tries to put me in the spotlight.
Azaera: Leading villainess! *strikes a dramatic pose*
Noah: Ooh, definitely leading man. The lothario who always gets the ladies!
Mercutio: The sensible one who knows enough not to go through that door.

Favorite food?
Andromeda: Oh, man...garlic bread. It's such a lie that vampires hate garlic.
Azaera: manflesh. What? Too barbaric for you? Well maybe you'll be dinner.
Noah: Definitley shepherd's pie with corn....that's damn good stuff.
Mercutio: A freshly roasted chicken with brown gravy, potatoes, green beans, and a fine Merlot.

Pirates or Ninjas?
Andromeda: Pirates! They're so cool!
Azaera: Ninjas are too stringy. Pirates have more meat on their bones.
Noah: Aw man...pirates! No - ninjas! No - pirates! No - ninjas!
Mercutio: PIRATES ARE GOD-AWFUL!! Ninjas ninjas ninjas!

BONUS: What song makes you think of yourself/your life?
Andromeda: Oh, probably "Walking on Broken Glass" by Annie Lennox
Azaera: Hmm...something like "Beast and the Harlot" by Avenged Sevenfold.
Noah: "Sharp-Dressed Man." Duh.
Mercutio: "So Close" from Enchanted. A little sad, but so were my circumstances.

glad to see dA hasn't expoloded in my absence!

I just got back from CALIFORNIA, beetches!!! First time ever going there for me. It was a TON of fun. Here's the trip outline:

1. stayed with family for like 2-3 days. Took lots of pictures.

2. Went to LA for two days. Saw Graumann's chinese theater, kodak theatre, walk of fame, rodeo drive. Took lots of pictures.

3. Went to Universal Studios. Went to the behind-the-scenes special effects show. Funny story: the MC guy Martin asked the crowd (300 people) what Andy Serkis was famous for. Dead silence, except for me, who shouted out "GOLLUM!!!" Then he asked the crowd "But what was Gollum's REAL name??" Dead silence, so I shout out "SMEAGOL!!" He turned to face me (i was in the third row), points straight at me and goes, "Nerd!"
Took some pictures.

4. Went to San Diego for two days. Went to Sea World. Fed some bat rays. One of them nearly nibbled me to death. Almost touched a dolphin. Took lots of pictures.

5. Went to San Diego Zoo. Saw okapis, which are my favorite animal. Took lots of pictures.

6. Came home. SLEPT.

So yeah. I'll be uploading the pictures for the next couple of days. Expect showers of pictures in your inboxes. Fave, please. But you don't have to. But do it anyway. Cause you love me.

I know, it's been a while. But I'm still here and quite alive. Lucky you, right?

So here's the latest:

I am setting out to write a book about vampires. But this is going to be very unlike my normal work. This is a search - a search for the truth behind the vampire legends and myths. Lots and lots of writers, filmmakers, and even ordinary people have their own "style" of vampire, but is there any truth to it? Why would people be fascinated, horrified, and even obsessed with these myths if there was no truth to them?
I'm going to work on compiling examples of many different writers and films and simple legends from around the world in order to piece together a real picture of vampires.

Here's why I'm telling you this: I'm going to need help. It's going to take some time, and I don't expect to finish it soon, but I need two or three good, solid people who I can rely on to help me compile all this information, help me do research, and even help to write it. I'll need people to email or write to authors asking if we can mention and use some of their material; people to help figure out different styles of vampires, and put it all together.

Ideally, these people would be people I know personally, only because I have more contact with them. However, I am willing to take on one or two people from here who will follow my directions and really and truly work to get this thing put together. I know who I can trust, and I'm not saying that because I don't want people to be excited about it - I just mean that I need to know people who are going to really be dedicated to helping me with this.

IF you are interested, please note me (title it "Vampirology") and give some reasons why I should choose you to help. Consider it an audition. I need to have ALL ENTRIES by MAY 8TH!! Any entries that come later will not be considered.

I really want you guys to be excited about this! I know I am!

Thank you all for your help and consideration.

i have splendid news. i know you all care, but i have a date for prom!! I REALLY REALLY like him, and it was by (i think) a trick of fate that led me to him. You see, I had asked someone else earlier that day and been rejected. My date was my Plan B, and I almost didn't ask him, but then at the last minute I just came out with it and asked...and he said yes!! He seemed thrilled that i asked him, and i'm really happy. i can tell that he is too. He makes me smile all the time, and he's sweet and funny and really talented. and i don't even care that i was rejected. All I know is that I'm proud to be going to prom with this guy and I know we'll have a great time. ^____^

Also, I have been doing much better lately about keeping up with schoolwork, so that means i am back on compie usage!!! Hooray!

Here's the scoop:

My dad is getting our family computer re-vamped, so i have to go through all my files and delete quite a few so that his portable hard drive isn't full of crap. So I am looking through my folder of ideas in my documents, and decided that while I'd love to keep them all, some have to go. Instead of deleting them all, I have decided that I will "auction" some of the ideas off that i know i won't use, so if you would like one, see my upcoming deviation, "STORY IDEAS FOR AUCTION." It will have the summaries of all the available stories, and that way you can pick the one you'd like best.

The one little catch is, I would like some credit when you write them, publish them, whatever. So if you would add just a little note somewhere in the manuscript that it was my original idea, that's perfect. Also, I would like updates, so if you wouldn't mind sending some to me (it doesn't have to be all the time), that would also be fantastic. Once all the stories are claimed, I'll note you my email so you can do that.

I'm really looking forward to this, and I know my stories will find good homes.

Thank you, guys, and I hope you find something you like!

I have news for you!

1. My new forum Welcome to Norynth on FanFiction.Net is going wonderfully!! I have several members now, and am always eager for more! Our adventure has gotten off to a great start, and I'd love it if you joined us. If you have a FanFiction.net account, here's the link to the forum:

[link]

2. I have a new story!! Or really a new trilogy-to-be. Here's the premise of each of the stories:

The Untraveled Worlds

Book 1: The Portal
Seventeen-year-old Lia Snowflower has just discovered the portal to a land called Kirania. The only problem is, she has just been arrested in Kirania as a thief and traitor to the cruel queen Coronsia. With the help of her new friends Stavian and Alieniel, Lia escapes prison and is told that she is the lookalike of the banished princess Malarna. Lia must use her wit and talent to stop Coronsia and restore power to the true princess.

Book 2: The Plague
Lia's second adventure takes her to the country of Bellandra, just south of Kirania. Reuniting with Stavian and Alieniel and finding a new friend in an apprentice named Rance, Lia must discover the source of the plague that threatens to wipe out all the Bellandrians and stop it before any more lives can be lost. Lia must do the impossible by saving an entire country...without getting the plague herself.

Book 3: The Promise
Lia's baby brother, Thorn, has gone missing, and Lia knows just where to look. Returning to Kirania for the last time, Lia, Stavian, Rance, Alieniel, and Malarna must retrieve Thorn before the dark lord Viruel can destroy Thorn and all hope for the people of Kirania...

So what do you think?!?! I'm really excited. Feedback please!

i am here to tell those of you with FanFiction.net accounts that i have opened up a brand-new forum!! It's called Welcome to Norynth, and it's an open fantasy / adventure roleplay. for those of you with characters you want to play around with, ideas you are considering, or an overactive imagination, it's a great outlet to let it all run free.

The story behind the guided roleplay can be found in my deviation, The Prince's Twin - 1, and once the rp gets going, I will post more, possibly using people's characters (with permission, of course) to write out the story.

Basically, for you lazy-arses (i still love you!) who don't want to go deviation hunting, here's the super-basic story:

Prince Cristus's father, the king Isobard, dies when Cristus is 13. Tradition states that the ruler must be at least 18 in order to take the throne. The cruel royal chamberlainess, Lady Sebris, sends her men to kill Prince Cristus so that she can take over the throne of Norynth. However, Cristus escapes, going into hiding for 5 years and taking the name Kylan to hide his identity. He discovers, while in hiding, that he has a twin sister named Kayley who was sent to live with a farmer in order to keep her away from harm. Together, Cristus/Kylan and Kayley must return to the royal city and take back their throne with the help of their friends.

Got it?
Like it?
Then drop by and sign the roster at [link] !!

Hope to see you there! And I can't wait to meet your characters!

I decided, after rereading part of my Legacy manuscript, to go on a search for my true name. As you probably figured out, the part I read was where each of the members of the Nine receive their true names, and I thought, "hey - I wonder what mine is."

So what I did was a little bit of soul-searching by writing out a "name poem," which can be seen here in my gallery. It's kinda crappy, but it was a necessary evil on this quest. YES i am calling it a quest. Now shut up.

After I did my soul-searching and found some qualities that really come together in me, I searched for names with meanings that went along with those traits. I chose Arabic and Celtic for the languages of the first and second True Names, partly because they're some of the oldest languages on earth and partly because I believe the Arabic and Celtic people really were in tune with nature and human consciousness.

So, the name I discovered as my true name is... *drumroll*

Rawiya Aideen [last name].

In Arabic, Rawiya means "story-teller." Quite accurate, as many of you know.
In Celtic, Aideen means "little fire." This coincides with my passion for certain causes and stuff like equality, human and animal rights, and other things that really light a fire inside me.

So I recommend going on your own name "quest." Find your true name, and then comment on this journal. I'd love to see what you come up with.
Of course, remember that your true name is sacred and if anyone were to use your full true name, they could have power over you. Silly, maybe, but that's why i didn't include my last name - only those closest to me will know, and that's what I intended.

Good luck on your name quests, and don't forget to share them! I promise I won't use them against you.

1. I'm sick. Again. Only this time it's just a cold. Which is good...I think.

2. I found out today I can go to the Junior-Senior Semi-formal on this Friday! VERY excited. I got my dress tonight, and it's my very first LBD (Little Black Dress, a.k.a. the staple item in every woman's wardrobe). I'm WAY excited and the dress is soooo pretty and I love the way I look in it. My bestest buds ~tptzre, ~Sonidowzero, and Lalex Schmucey are all going, too, so I won't be alone! I'm going to be posting pics from it on Facebook, so for those of you who actually know who i am, you can see them.

3. I've got PORCELAIN! The bestest kind of clay in the WORLD. I loves it! Pics of my work will be up once they're fired.

4. I may be going away next weekend for my Accidentals (select chorus) retreat. I'm really excited - we stay at this place called the Round House (which it is...literally) and we practice a LOT and bond and have a grand old time.

So hopefully that's in the cards for me.

i spent the last two weeks in a residential unit to work on my depression. I'm going through kind of a bad patch with it, and it's been really stressing me out. So I went to residential for two weeks, and now i'm home.
While i was there, I had no computer access, so i couldn't check even my email, let alone messages from the RP and here.

Come to find out, one person on the RPG has decided she is in charge and doesn't want me participating anymore. Of course, her post was FAR less than gentle, and basically she flipped a shit at me, saying how i had caused her all this grief and shit and how I wasn't being fair to anyone else. It's all a load of bullshit. I have been nothing but caring and careful in that stupid RPG, and I was the one in charge. I never said anything to her or anyone else that would warrant something like this. Frankly, I don't understand. I think it's just her way of trying to get revenge on me for having certain pairings that she wanted. Fuck that! Are you fucking KIDDING me?!?! That's the stupidest reason to do something like this.

In the final step in smashing the racial stereotype, Barack Obama has been elected as the first African-American president of the United States!

I might actually consider sticking around and seeing what happens. I have a lot of faith in Obama and think he's going to be just what the doctor ordered. I mean, we'll have to wait and see and find out what happens, but provided he turns out to be a real smash hit, I may decide forestall my giving up on being an American and trading it for a life in Britain.

I got a callback for the role of Anita in my senior class play, West Side Story!!!!

This means i have to go back Tuesday night from 7-9 to re-audition, which is a good sign. I get to sing "America," which is one of my favorite WSS songs, and read through more lines. I'm really excited, and I can't WAIT to find out the cast list!!

In the meantime...

The Big E, the largest regional fair in the US, has returned! I love the Big E, as do just about all us New Englanders. The food is to die for (literally...your arteries hate you afterward), the animals are sooo awesome, and the parades are crazy cool. I'm going next week, so expect pictures.

Also, I am officially extending the deadline for Legacy Cover Contest submissions until September 30th. Because of the very limited number of entries already submitted, I am going to take entries until the end of this month. PLEASE get them in, though!!!

That's about it. Just thought I'd share my wonderful news with you lovelies.

Farewell, my friends. Thus Thisbe ends. Adieu, adieu, adieu!

however, i did get to watch two episodes of Suite Life of Zack and Cody...it's my guilty pleasure (along with Phineas and Ferb). once the little girl goes to bed (t-minus 30 minutes), i get total TV privileges. which will be awesome.

other than that, i have brown crayon stuck under my fingernail, my hair is a total mess, and i'm chilling in my Twilight shirt, while checking fanfiction.net periodically and filling out Character profile cards for my new story, Silverwill.

I'm going to go scrounge the cabinets now...there must be something good in the pantry...

and PLEASE don't think of me as the kind of babysitter who only wants to watch TV and eat the family out of house and home. I'm really not. Just tonight. And not even that bad! I colored a tree!

Here's what's new in the house of Sano:

my younger sister, Sam, just got a dA account!! She is ~emokitty08, and she's just starting out, so please lend her a hand!! I'll be teaching her all I know, but she'd love to make friends and have some outside help too. So watch out for emokitty Sammy, cause once she gets going here on dA, she'll be a force to be reckoned with!

in other news...

i did some painting yesterday while babysitting, and I came out with two pieces that look (i think) REAAAALLY cool. I LOVE splatter painting, kind of like Jackson Pollack, and I really like how the two turned out, so I'll be scanning them and posting them here! So I hope you like them once they're posted!

also, I now know the name of the guy my friend Jacqueline is going to set me up with!! She's been withholding information from me, and FINALLY she told me his first name! His name is Andrew, and apparently he's really cute and really nice, so I just have to wait until the big day - the DATE! - to find out more, i guess! Once I know more, I'll definitely tell you. Hmm...Andrew and Amy...I like it!

5. I saw Mamma Mia too - much better than the critics say it was. I really liked it - the music is so much fun, it was really funny, and the storyline was really cool.

Thumbs up from me. I recommend it.

omigosh....it's fantastic! I loooooooove shia labeouf and his character is totally kickass. i 100% called the fact that they were going to be father and son. That was a given. Loved John Hurt as Ox, too. He's such a good actor. It seemed to go by really fast, though. Am I right? Maybe it's just me.
I also loved Cate Blanchett as the Russian psychobitch. She can play any part, seriously. And she's damn good at getting her eyes all firey and blown up.
The ants were the worst, though. uuughhh...creepy crawlies! The way they ate that guy.... blech!

the one good thing about my weekend was this:

yesterday was my uncle's birthday, so we all went to my aunt and uncle's house for a cookout. their whole neighborhood is really close - they live on a cul-de-sac of sorts and everyone knows everyone. it's nice. so anyway, one of the neighbors just got a whole bunch of baby chicks (rhode island reds and the typical yellow fluffly ones) recently, and my friend jackie and i walked over to their house and got to play with the chicks for a while. they're SOOOOOO cute!!! they're really sweet and small and soft.... and the guy said that if you hand-raise them and give them a lot of attention, that they'll follow you around and totally act like a dog or something.
so i've decided i want one. ^____^ i love chickens anyway- goes back to my zookeeping days. but i really want a Rhode Island Red chick. i actually figured this all out last night - if i get a rooster, i'm going to name him Sophocles, but if it's a hen, she's going to be Pertelote like from The Canterbury Tales. i want either one, but i just want a chicken. And then i'll bring him/her to college with me and it will be my roommate. i'm hoping for a boy, but if i can, i might have him fixed. Just so that he's not all aggressive once he's older and doesn't harass pertelote. ya know?

but yeah. so i want a chicken.

and now i'm going to forestall working on my history project some more and go write something about how crappy i feel.

Would someone please mail me an egg?

Caroline: Human. What else?
Olivia: Albino Egyptian snow duck. :sarcastic: What a stupid question.
Sobie: Human and proud of it.

Hair, eyes, and skin?
Lynas: dark brown, green, and pale. Rosawyn keeps telling me I need more sun.

Olivia: dirty blonde, blue, and green. Again, what kind of question is that, what color skin...*mutters to self*
Sobie: reddish brown, grey, and white-almost-clear.

Siblings?
Lynas: A half sister named Lysanne. Of course, I didn't even know about her until just a short time ago...
Caroline: Just me. unless you count my shipmates as family.
Olivia: None that I know of.
Sobie: Well, I don't know. I think I have a half-brother and sister, but I don't know. I can't keep track of my father's affairs...

If you don't like a person you...
Lynas: Act as politely as I can towards them but don't tell them. That would be rude.
Caroline: Tell them - but how i tell them depends on the person.
Olivia: Ignore them.
Sobie: I mostly like people, but in the rare event that I meet someone I don't like, I just talk about them when they're not around. Which is awful, but it's the truth.

Have a job?
Lynas: Sort of. I'm a linguist and a reader, if you call that a job.
Caroline: Full-time deckhand on the good ship Pandora.

Caroline: I'm a girl.

Sobie: Extremely female.

Best and worst characteristics
Lynas: I hate to brag, but I am really loyal and I pride myself on being a good friend. Worst? I am quite stubborn.
Caroline: Good looks, if I do say so myself...And unfortunately, vanity is my curse.
Olivia: I'm a quick learner.....I'm pretty dishonest.
Sobie: I'm a good listener, and I'm really impatient.

What would your role be in a movie?
Lynas: A what?
Caroline: Come again?
Olivia: Good, I'm not the only one.
Sobie: I'd be the best friend who's always on the sidelines. Until I get my own chance to shine.

Caroline: Cookie Stoughton's salt pork stew.
Olivia: Anything.
Sobie: spaghetti and meat sauce.

Pirates or Ninjas?
Lynas: Dunno what a ninja is, so I'm going to have to say pirate.
Caroline: Pirate!! It's what I am, so I'm a little biased.
Olivia: Pirates are close enough to outlaws like me...I'm going with them.
Sobie: Ninjas, just to be different. ^____^

NEWS:

went to the town festival today....it was FREEZING and rainy and i walked around with my buds Alex and Devon and Kateri and Hayley...we ate about a hundred honey sticks between us, and it was a lot of fun. Devon has NO inhibitions at all, so hanging out with him is fun cause he's so outrageous. XD and i got a necklace and this TOTALLY cuddly and cozy blankie...i'm sure i'll get pics up. trust me. it's my Linus blankie.

That's basically it. I might also be going to prom with Eric - we just need to sort out the details. We're talking again, so i think we're better. So yay prom! And yay job! cause i have one of those too. Working at Panera, which is a totally tasty restaurant and bakery. I LOVE making French baguettes. it's my favorite job other than cleaning the glass doors since they get smuged about every five minutes.

that's it. Just wanted to let you all in. and more Forest Walker to come (once ~PhantomFan posts chap. 12), more Pandora soon, and PICS asaic (as soon as i can). stick around!
