Hey my Lovelies!!!
I know, I know! I broke my promise...I took almost four months to post this time...*sigh*...what are you going to do with me...
Well...I should be posting more in the upcoming days!!! Maybe once or twice a week...wanna know why? Of course you do! Because you are a empty void who's whole purpose is to make me feel like I am being read when in actuality I only get a page read a day...so I send this to the empty internet hoping that someone will come across my blog and red it to find my self being tortured of my own freewill and at my hand.
I am going to tell you my news Julie Powell style because I just watched the movie Julie and Julia and I love the way she did it...so here goes.
"The Challenge: NaNoWriMo
Write 50,000 words in no more than thirty days, starting November 1st, while trying to keep your wits about you as you deal with homework, jobs, chores, Thanksgiving, cleaning up Halloween, losing weight from the Great Halloween Candy Pig Out, and making sure to post those pictures you promised for your NaNoWriMo facebook group.
The Goal: 1,667
Write 1,667 words everyday to reach your goal and you could actually reach 50,000 words in thirty days...well...if you stick to that regiment then you will do 50,010 words, but that's a technicality.
The Contender: Leighanne Clitheroe
A young woman in the middle of her Senior year in High school, age 17, brown hair, blue eyes, five foot six and a half, which just so happens to be an inch taller then her mother. She writes for fun, stress relief, and a lot of times, escape. The first year she tried this horrendously challenging feat of literary talent she only reached 5,000 words. She took a break for two years before coming back determined to beat this challenge given to her by will power alone. Sadly her will power failed her and she only wrote 10,000 words. She came back the next year determined to finish in NaNoWriMo 2011.
This was by far her best year Leighanne says of her success. "I managed to write 25,123 words which is more than the previous two years combined! I may not have officially won according to the website's rules, but I feel like I won and all of my NaNoWriMo friends agree." She also says that she believes she can reach the 50,000 word goal this year as long as she focuses on the task at hand; cleaning up the house. "Yes, yes I know, why does the house affect my writing? Well when you've been neglecting the house since the start of the year and your mother tells you get it clean or no NaNoWriMo this year...you want to get it clean!"
Will Leighanne reach her goal? Will she clean the house? Will she stop talking like a news reporter talking in third person? Will she finally learn to stop biting her nails?
Find out as we follow her through her Adventures Through Nano-ing! (coming soon to a computer or laptop near you!)"
Okay so now you know my good news!! Question though...did any of you read that in a news announcer or theatrical trailer voice??? While I was writing it I started to feel like Amanda from the Holiday when the voice starts portraying her life like a movie....Well I guess that's what happens when you become a writer.....you star hearing voices and going just a smidgen crazy!!! But then again what writer isn't crazy in one form or another!!!!
Toodle-lee-doo!!! I have work to do!!!

Long Time, No Post
Hey my Lovelies!!!!
Long time, no post!!!!
Okay so much has happened since the Titanic anniversary.....lets see here......
Last week of April:
Found a new site and I'm putting my books on it......some of you may even be reading this because I put the website link on my profile page....... Hello fellow Wattpad people!!!!!
May:
Finished up with my essay part of the Exegetical project.......then found out our final was telling the class about our prophet.......yay.
Made many new friends at my high school.
Had many sleepovers with Fallon....one consisting of me staying for four days cause of some family troubles and she needed me as a shoulder for her.
Rode in the cab of a steam train!
Did the presentation for the Exegetical paper and finished with Junior year!!!!!!
June:
More sleepovers with Fallon.
Finished home school!
Started summer home school. =(
Went to the beach and got a small sun burn where I couldn't reach with sun tan lotion.
Went to a little girls B-day party on the 23rd and was held hostage and dumped into the pool of an inflatable water slide and got a giant lobster red sunburn across my shoulder blades.
Went to Disneyland the next day with my 'Fraternal Twin Sister from Anotha Motha,' Madeleine.......pic below......and got kidnapped by the guy in the picture to surprise Maddie. I was in the wheel chair and we were inside the store next to the pirates of the Caribbean ride. I saw a cute shirt and asked Maddie to see how much it was. out of the corner of my eye I see Branden coming in a crouch/run with a finger to his lips to keep me quiet. He comes and grabs the wheelchair and all Maddie sees is me being wheeled away by some one else, while I laugh my head off. We stop outside the gumbo place and Branden turns around making Madeleine screech in happiness since they hadn't seen each other since 4th grade. most rides were terrible though cuz of the sunburn and cars land was awesome!!!!! and every third blink IS slower!!!!!!!
Wednesday I had the last sleepover for a while with Fallon.
Thursday night I find my Broviac won't flush and I spend the night in the ER at CHLA
Friday afternoon I find out that the Broviac has died and I will need to go into surgery to get it out. Friday night I came home with a plan.
The plan is this. Tomorrow (Monday) I go in and get a PIC line cause that's the only way my camp will let me come. Tuesday I go to the Painted Turtle Camp's Special Diagnosis Session from July 3rd to July 7th. I will then leave camp and go to the hospital (if i leave from camp and go straight there or go home for a day and then go I don't know but hey i technically should already have had the surgery...they're bending the rules so I can go to camp first.) and get the Broviac and PIC line out.
June 30th was my Dad's 59th B-day and July 6th is my 17th B-day!!!!! I will be at camp for the 4th of July and my B-day!!!!!
Okay long post over!!!! I promise not to wait so long next time before I post!!!! Wish me luck with the Surgery!!!!!! See you later my Lovelies!!!!

Titanic's Hundreth Anniversary
Titanic.Greatly argued to be the biggest maritime disaster in history.
She can never sink they said...but in fact she could. She could stay afloat with any four of her water tight bulkheads flooded.
At 11:42pm on April 14, 1912 Titanic hit...... an iceberg which ripped the hull from the first to the fifth bulkhead sealing its doom.
At this time...2:20am titanic sank beneath the waves...not to be seen for 73 years.
Today we honor the lives lost, and lives permanently changed by this loss. — at 49 56' 49" W 41 43' 32" N.

Quotes--Part 1
C.S. Lewis:
Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.
Experience: The most brutal of teachers. But you learn, my God do you learn.
I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.
Lets pray that the human race never escapes from earth to spread its iniquity elsewhere.
The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of 60 minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is.
You are never to old to set another goal or dream a new dream.
If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.
I will be making a series of this....one author for the multitude of quotes i will give....but I leave you with one from a different author...one of my favorites...There is something delicious about writing those first few words of a story. You never quite know where they'll take you. -Beatrix Potter

Friday the 13th.......O.O and Paul Newman
I love fridays, but I love Friday the 13ths better!!!
Something good always happens to me...today me and my neighbor are going to watch "Message In A Bottle" starring Paul Newman. And it is raining....something I love....and get good luck in......so now I have doubly good luck!!!! I feel bad for the people who get bad luck though....our gardeners came and did our yard and half way through it started pouring rain......they were soaked to the bone in 5 minutes.
So far nothing bad has happened to me but there is always room for that to happen. For instance my neighbor just called me saying she can't watch the movie with me she has to go to her shop......but we will watch it some other day.....in the meantime I will watch "The Sting" another Paul Newman movie.
So why the fascination with Paul Newman you might ask??? Well I am a medical kid and I cant go to camp...that is a normal camp. Paul Newman saw that there were many kids throughout the US that had medical disorders that kept them from going to camp. He decided to help. He created "The Hole in the Wall" camp. It enabled kids to go to camp free of charge and be around a full medical staff and do things that they normally wouldn't be able to do.
Last year I went to the Painted Turtle...it is another Hole in the wall camp 40 miles north of Los Angeles. It was fabulous!!! I had the best time...made many new friends and did things I never would have done elsewhere. I have a phobia of rope ladders and tightropes because there flimsy and they add on to my fear of falling. They had a high ropes course and that's what we did the first day. I had known one of the guys volunteering, from my hospital and his name is Pun, and he knew of my fear and what time I'd be doing the high ropes. He came and encouraged me while I did it...he kept saying " look a pi in the sky!!!" (we had decided my name for the week was 3.14159265, the first few digits of pi) Pun helped me across the tight rope and gave me a big hug when I came down.
I have signed up for the camp again this summer from July 3-7...over the fourth and my birthday! Well that is it for this text I have 25 min to clean up the kitchen or I'm in trouble.
TTYLXOX!!!!!!!!

Blog Scares and Sleepovers
So right now I'm on Easter Break....very uneventful until last night when my BFFL Fallon came for a sleepover. We did the classics...watched movies, ate junk food, stayed up way past midnight, and slept in till noon. Her dog Princess came and it was hilarious watching that little Chihuahua charge the glass window looking into my back yard barking her head off all because of a raccoons and possums......
As soon as she left we started texting....I went and chatted with my neighbor and she let me use her treadmill....we continued texting even as I write this we're texting. We are talking about our blogs and we each decide to check the others out...then she tells me that she can't find my blog. It takes me about 15 minutes to figure things out but I finally get it back online. I was freaking out....I even posted about it on my face book like page.....it was very stressful...... well time to go make my tumblr as I promised Fallon I would!!! ttylxox!!!

Dancing Girl
Ah what fun this week has been...I went to a dance with a great guy and we hung out with some great friends of mine and they swapped numbers! That made me super happy. Then I worked at the local little leagues snack bar and earned $23 and a blue powerade! I know, I know....that's not even minimum wage but I kinda don't care seeing as I get free food while working and I'm doing something I love plus I have worked for the lady since i was 8...she has been like a second grandma for me!.....the downside to this weekend...my arm is super sore from playing to much air hockey at the dance and then after I worked I was ready for my legs and feet to be chopped of and returned when they stop hurting. Oh well its was so much fun that stuff hasn't dampened my mood!!! okay well i think that is it for now...I'm still tired.
Bbbbbbbbyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!! (translation: bye)
