Day 89 and eh...
Hey guys, I had a really bad day today. It just seemed like nothing went right. It's been figured out though, and things that couldn't be figured out have been conceded. I'd rather not talk about it, so here's a video of the Pistol Shrimp, an amazing animal that I have respect for.

Day 88 and do you have writer's block?
Hey guys.
Have you ever had writer's block? That feeling where you really want to write, but when you look at the blank piece of paper, nothing comes out? You know what you really shouldn't do? The worst thing you can do is to think about it. The more you think about it, the more stressed you become, and the more writer's blocky you get.
I think the best cure is a good distraction. For me, reading books doesn't help, because it increases the need to write, while making me second guess my writing (thinking things as in "I don't want to write ___ because it is a lot like what I just read). I have found my cure though, something that is inspiring, while at the same time distracting, giving your brain the time to remove the giant block in your head.
This thing? It's called StumbleUpon. You can looked it up on Google. Basically, it's a search website, but it's slightly better. You tell it what you like, stuff like for me was reading, writing, genetics, video games, etc. And then you click on "stumble" and it brings you to a random site based on those interests. I have found so many good things, and I think I can physically feel the writer's block lifting. It's also just really cool, bringing you to sites that you might not have found otherwise.

Day 87 and I have a review for you!
Hey guys! I have stuff to talk about today (since I wasn't posting yesterday)
So, to make up for yesterday: I did a lot of running around yesterday. Well, actually not so much, but it was good. Tom and I played lots of video games for one. You see, I spent a lot of time running around the last two days, so I wanted to take a break yesterday. We played Left 4 Dead, and it wasn't so bad. I thought it would be really scary, but I guess because it was day time, it wasn't as scary as it could have been. It was interesting, and it was certainly a shooter. I can see the appeal, but I have played better games. We played tennis and it was a whole lot of fun. I feel like we did something else, but I can't really remember what it might have been.
And today, I want to tell you about a really fun comic. It's called Trying Human (tryinghuman.com) It's a really good comic that updates on Tuesdays and Fridays. It has three stories going on. One is the story involving an alien crash from a while ago, the other is the story of an alien who really enjoys the company of humans, and the third is the story of a secret agent. It's very not complicated, and since it updates 2 pages on update days, it keeps it from getting dull. The characters are easy to tell apart, and the stories are quite fascinating. If you have the time, I suggest you read it.

Day 83 and YAY! TRAVELING!
Hey everyone! I was right, I couldn't get on yesterday, so you know what that means!
First off, on Friday mommy told me that I had to wake up at nine yesterday. I was okay with that, I set my alarm, and I went to bed. I never got to hear that alarm though, because at 8:20, my father woke me by shaking my bed. Annoyed, I got up, did as he asked, and then helped the family pack so that we could go to the new house. Everyone was annoyed and short tempered that way, and my younger cousin kept forcing himself to fart so that he could annoy his older brother. It was quite disgusting. Once everything was packed though, we couldn't go to the new house. The houses work a lot like hotels, check out is at 10, check in is at 3. So, we had a few hours to kill. The boys all piled into my parent's rental car, and us girls all went into my Grandma's car. We had a shopping day! I got a pair of sunglasses because my old glasses are trashed, and a really really really really cute jean dress. At the book store, I got a field guild to insects and spiders and a new journal, it was pretty cool. Once we got to the house, I was really tired, so I took a nap. After that, we had crab cakes for dinner, I read for a bit, and then I went to sleep.
Today I woke up at 8:30, and this time my alarm went off, and I had time to just lay in bed, so I feel very awake today. A bit sleepy, sure, but that's only because that's what traveling does to me. I got up and got packed, but I had absolutely no room for Under The Dome by Stephen King (my really really big book). I asked Mom if she would bring it home with her, and she said yes. I hope she remembers it. I had a simple breakfast, and then we did the one and a half hour trip up to Charleston, where I am currently, waiting for my plane. I'm excited to be going home, and as much as I love my cousins, I'm glad I'm getting a break from them. Ah well, that's about it. One more thing though, there are these really big spiders down around here, and I found out what they are!
This is a Goldensilk spider. Males are 1/8 inch and females are 7/8 inch-1 inch. They have these huge webs, and they only fix about half of it a day, never the whole web. These are some of my favorite spiders, and I wanted to share them with you!

Day 80 and owie
Hey guys, I woke up really early today (like...10:30) so that I could go on a really long walk today. It actually wasn't that long. We walked the length of the entire island...which is about 3 miles long. About a third of the way through though, my right ankle felt like it was on fire, and I looked down at my left one and said "Alright, Left Ankle, it's just you and me now! We can do it!" and then two jetty's later, my left ankle also felt like it was on fire. I pushed myself through it though, and started to walk more in the ocean where the water could help sooth my ankles. When we made it to the other side of the island, my grandma was waiting there to drive back people who didn't want to walk back. With two bad ankles, I was obviously one of those people, though I really wanted to walk back myself, oh well.
Yeah, so then I got home, took a shower, and napped...that's about the most exciting stuff that happened tonight
I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Day 79 and purty flowers!
Hey guys! Another day in my home away from home. It's been a great day. I finished my mom's hat, and I relaxed with Daddy. Then daddy took me to the yarn store, and I got two sets of DPNs and two skeins of yarn for technically 2 dollars! I learned something about Knitting, I had a great dinner, and peach custard pie for dessert.
Then we played Killer Bunnies with my cousins...the game is pretty good, but the kids kept YELLING. I don't know why, but they wouldn't shut up. It's okay though, they eventually shut up. Anyway, I have some photos for you guys!
These are bush roses, and they're really pretty and come in tons of colors. They also do well in the heat, which is good, because it's hot here.
This is a spider that's really common around here. I know it's not a great picture, but I tried! Plus, there's a WE BUY GOLD sign in the back. BONUS! (btw, I don't buy gold)

Day 78 and long day
Hey everyone. I didn't do a terrible lot today on my vacation, but it was a long day. First off, I stayed up late knitting my hat, which I finished this morning. Afterwards, I went out to lunch with my mom, grandma, and aunt. We had a great time, and afterwards we went out to a kitchen store, and then went home. At home, I lounged around and knitted Mom's hat, and then the parents went out. This left Grandma and I with my two cousins and my brother. We went out, and had to deal with the two cousins fighting, and the younger cousin hissing a fit because his iTouch didn't work (the horror). We drove for a while, and we saw the Sorcerer's Apprentice. It was pretty good. I think the beginning felt really rushed, but the rest of it was fine. On the way home, Zak told impossible riddles, and I kind of wanted to slap him a few times. I started getting motion sick, and then my younger cousin started yelling again, because he couldn't get the riddles, and his iTouch still wasn't working. Finally we got back, and the parents showed up soon after. I love my cousins, but they can be a handful.
Anyway, that's it, talk to you tomorrow!

Day 77 and sorry for the delay
Hey guys, I’m real sorry for not posting the last few days. Trust me, I really wanted too, but the internet was down. It luckily got fixed today though! So, let me fill you in.
On Saturday, I stayed up until 4 AM, before leaving to go meet up with my parents, and then we drove to the airport. There, we got on a plane, and flew to Dallas FtWorth. I slept most of that entire flight. Then we had a lay over there, where I started reading The Fall of Reach (I promised Tom I would read it over this vacation. It’s a good book, but if you’re not interested or curious in the Halo series, then it might not be your cup of tea). Then on the plane, I read the first half of it, listening to my music the whole way. When we landed, it was about 6 o’clock, and we waited around for about half an hour, watching this poor woman behind the counter argue over the phone with the guy in front of the counter’s mother-in-law over a one dollar difference in the estimate and the actual price. It was pretty brutal. We got our car though, and then we were off. In the car I slept again, which was good, because it’s a good hour and a half from the airport to the house we’re renting. Once we got to the house, I met up with my Uncle and Aunt, my Grandma, and my two cousins, Kris and Aaron. They’ve grown quite a bit since the last time I saw them (which was in January). After we got all the bags inside, we went out for sushi, and it was delicious. I don’t know if it tasted so good because it was good, or if it tasted so good because I haven’t had sushi in almost a year… But, after sushi was over, we went back to the house. I gave Grandma back her pictures, and then I went up to my room, where I found out the internet wasn’t working. That was when I started on my scarf (pictures should be going up on The Cozy Knitten). I stayed up until about two playing the sims and knitting my scarf, and then I fell asleep.
Yesterday, I woke up because Aaron left my door open, and so all of the noises from downstairs wafted up, and I woke up, unable to go back to sleep. The day was fairly normal one though, I woke up, I had breakfast, and then I knitted. I somehow found myself waking up on the couch though, and when I did, I found that my knitting had been moved to my feet, and that there was a new camera sitting next to me. I knew it was Grandma’s, the day before she had asked me to show her how to work it. So, I picked it up, and examined the buttons. The camera was really simple, and I figured out how everything worked without having to put the batteries in it. Grandma came in about that time, and I put in the batteries and showed her how they worked. She then started asking me about settings, and got a little bummed because we couldn’t figure out how to change something. I hope that if she doesn’t want the camera though she’ll just give it to me and get a new one, but I haven’t told her that. At this point, Mom came home, and she asked if I wanted to go to the knitting store with her. I of course said yes. When we got to the knitting store though, it turned out that it was closed on Sundays, so we decided to go back today(Monday). We then went to the rock and mineral store next door, and I got a really cool piece of stone, that I will take a picture of when I get home, because it is currently encased in bubble wrap to keep it safe. We then went to a local book store, where I got a new Stephen King (for when I get to the end of the Dark Tower series, and have to stop until I get some more money to buy the rest of it).The book is called Under the Dome and the book itself is quite enormous. It is (get your ruler out for this one kids) 6x9x2 (base by height by width) and is 1074 pages long. It has a map of the town the book is set in, and a list of characters in the front of the book. It seems like it will be quite intense and I love it. After we got home, I went out and sat on the porch reading Fall of Reach until I got to chapter 26 (only 13 more chapters to go). Then, dinner was ready and we ate. After dinner, we decided to go for a walk on the beach. The boys wanted to swim out to a second island, and so I stayed behind on the first island with my aunt. We saw some people checking out a nearby tidepool earlier, and so we went over to check it out. As I was walking in the sandy tidepool, I kept looking down, to make sure I didn’t step on anyone. I stepped on a sandy portion that looked perfectly clear, when suddenly something slimy moved under my feet and the sand got kicked up. As I stepped back, I looked down and saw a sting ray! After that we headed back to the house. I knitted a bit more, and then came up to bed, played the sims, and went to sleep.
Today, we went out and had a great time at the knitting store. It was only Mom and I, and it was a lot of fun. When we were done shopping though, Grandma called and said she wanted to go to the knitting store with me. So, instead of going grocery shopping with Mom, I waited for Grandma to come. I spent a lot of time talking to the lady there, and she was pretty cool. When Grandma got there, she bought a whole lot of yarn and it was really cool as well. Then we left the shop, and we went to the local mineral store again, and Grandma and I talked about the gaudiness of really large stone rings. We then went to the UPS store (boring) and came home. I then went out again with my mom and dad, and I got a book called "I Love Crabcakes" by Tom Douglas. I've flipped through the book and YUM!. When we got back, I went onto the porch and finished Fall of Reach, and am currently waiting for dinner to be finished, so that I can have delicious lamb!
Anyway, that's about it. Hope to see you tomorrow!

Day 74 and DnD!
I kind of wanted to put Dynamite at the end of that, a call out to the song, but I decided not to.
So, tonight being a half-elf warlock was interesting, I almost died once, but I managed to escape by teleporting and then taking a healing surge. In fact, the battle was so harsh, that we took a nap in the corner of the room. It was very intense, and nothing happened while we were napping.
And, back to the real world. I am leaving tomorrow morning at a quarter to five effing AM. It's really too early, especially since I am staying up playing DnD, and Tom(my precious DM) has not told me when we are ending, and currently wants me to stay up late, and then sleep over at his house, and then drive to my parent's house. He has to come with me though, because he is borrowing my car while I'm gone, so I might actually do that, because at least I wouldn't be suffering alone.
Anyway, I have to get focused back in the game. Love you guys!

Day 73 and *le sigh*
Hey everyone. I'm afraid I didn't do anything terribly exciting today, but I'm planning on telling ya'll about my DnD session tomorrow, which I am terribly excited for. I also don't have chapter five ready, and the only real thing I did today was pack. Yes, that's right, pack.
I'm going on another vacation. I know, it's been so soon since my last vacation. This one will be a week long, and I plan to take plenty of pictures for you guys. It will be the beach, with sun, shine, and water, along with lots of knitting and lots of reading. I, personally, am quite excited for it! I won't even miss a day here, because I remember the house I'm going to be staying at having internet. I'm technically leaving on Saturday, but it's going to be really really early on Saturday, so I might as well be leaving late of Friday.
But, I have pictures today, I can show you a few of the things I did today.
Janey checked out my car, it was really cute, that's why she's blurry
Then I counted out all my loose change. There is exactly 18 dollars here. Isn't that cool?

Day 72 and TIIIIIRED!
Hey guys, I had quite a day today. So, as agreed, I took Mitch, Tom, and Devon to the Boardwalk! It was a whole lot of fun, but it was very tiring. So, we left to go get Mitch from school at 12:15, and we didn't get home until about 5 o'clock. And I'm proud of myself, I went on the pirate ship for the very first time. It was very, very scary. I also went on the Haunted Castle, and of course I went on Wipe out, which is an intense spinning ride with strobe lights, and it is my all time favorite ride.
I also have another suggestion for a movie. I know a lot of people have seen this one, but if you haven't seen it recently you should definitely see it again. The Movie? Miyazaki's Spirited Away. It is just such an incredible movie. It looks like a kids movie on the surface, but it has such depth and character development that it's really hard to not just absolutely fall in love with the movies and the characters. I got it in my Netflix recently, and I watched it with Tom today and I haven't seen Spirited Away in...four, five years? I was afraid that when I watched it, I would realize that it wasn't as deep as I remember it, and that it would be a total kids movie, and that I wouldn't have the same infatuation with it as I did. I was wrong. I was dead. effing. wrong. I love it, all over again. Sadly, it is going away now, but I might add it to my queue again later, just so I can watch it all over again.

Day 71 and YAY! SHOPPING!
Hey guys, I finally got some money a few days ago, and so I wanted to go shopping. After figuring out how much money I had that was for spending, I called up two of my best friends and today we went SHOPPIN! Yeah, it was a lot of fun. I found an absolutely perfect bag (it's smaller then most duffle bags, but bigger then a laptop case) and it has so many pockets and holders and YAY! I also bought a book of hymns. Why? Because I can.
Anyway, here's Chapter 4 for you guys!
Chapter 4
Quiggy looked at the simple home. It was light green in color, and had simple colors and simple windows. Quiggy looked up at what he now thought to be his savior and he paused a moment. It was not what he was expecting. He was expecting some large, extravagant castle, with large stained glass windows, and a pointed roof. Green looked down at Quiggy, and reading the expression on his face, she smiled. “Yes, Quiggy?”
Quiggy looked at her and paused a moment. “I wasn’t really expecting this…”
She smiled and nodded “Yes, I understand.” She looked at her house. “A lot of the ones I bring here expect me to be rich, but I’m not the rich one, my sister is.” She knelt down and stroked his head “Maybe you’ll get to meet your new aunt and cousins.” She said, and moved over to the door, and slipped in her key, opening it. If the outside was plain, the inside was sparse. There were three beds across one of the walls, and a table with three chairs in the middle. The kitchen had a fridge, a microwave, a stove, and a counter. There was a bookcase with a few tattered, well read books, and a large pile of Neopian times. The house itself smelled like omelettes and jelly. Quiggy then realized on one of the beds there was a lupe, who looked up as the door opened.
The lupe smiled and she slowly got up, leaping off the bed and padding over. She was blue in color, with a headband the same color as Green’s, and a pair of grey tattered wings on her back. “Hello, you must be my newest sibling,” she said to Quiggy, “My name is Liabece, you can call me Lia though.”
Quiggy blushed as he looked at her and nodded “My name is Quiggy, nice to meet you, Lia”
Lia smiled a bit and she looked at him with half closed eyes. She turned and nodded to one of the beds “That is your bed, the sheets have been cleaned.” She looked at him and smiled again. “What do you like to do?”
Quiggy felt his mouth open as he stared at her and said “I…don’t know”
Liabece looked up at Green and smiled “A young one” to which Green nodded. Liabece looked back at Quiggy and said “Well, let’s go find out” she said, and nudged Quiggy, walking out of the house with him to go find out what he liked to do.

Day 70 and what a day
So, today, I had huge changes in plans, back and forth, back and forth. I made plans to go out tomorrow, and then realized that there was a plan to go to an amusement park, so I canceled my plans.s Then, when talking about the situation, it turns out that we're going on wednesday, so I called back my friends and made the plans again. Wow, what a day. Oh well, that's life I guess.
Well, I have a new artist I like, and I want to show them to you!
Isn't that like, really awesome? I've seen a whole bunch of theirstuff, and this is one of my favorites of theirs.

Day 69 and I want to make a sexual reference
Yeah, you guys know what I'm talking about up there. I really want to roleplay neopets right now...but no one will do it with me *leh sigh*. But, the good news is I'm playing Dungeons and Dragons, and am currently drowning. So, that's good I guess.
I have Chapter Three!
Chapter 3
Green carried Quiggy until they got to the trainstation. Showing a pass, she went onto the train with the quiggle, before putting him down and smiling a bit towards him before she looked out the window.
Quiggy shifted a bit in his seat before he looked around and then looked at her. “…Ms. Lawe?” he said timidly.
Green looked down at him and shook her head “No, Quiggy, my name is Green. You don’t have to keep calling me by my last name.”
Quiggy nodded a bit and intertwined his fingers, biting his lip a bit. “Okay…Green…” he swung his feet a bit and then looked up at her again. “Where are we going?”
Green smiled, and patted his shoulder “We’re going to my home in Brightvale.”
Quiggy’s eyes widened “I’ve never been to Brightvale before…”
Green smiled and nodded “Well, now you will have.”
Quiggy nodded and looked around. He was quiet for a while, when he then turned back to Green and he pulled on her sleeve a bit. Green looked back at the red quiggle and smiled “Yes, Quiggy?”
Quiggy swallowed hard and looked at her “Wh-what’s going to happen to me?”
Green paused a moment and nodded towards him “That’s a good thing to ask, Quiggy.” She smiled towards him “You don’t have to act so nervous, you know. I’ll answer any questions you have.” She smiled again and patted his head this time. “I happen to be one of the people on this world who knows where the lab ray is.” She said simply, “my mission in life is to adopt pets who have been abandoned by their owners. I then use the lab ray to ZAP!” She clapped her hands at this point, which startled several people on the train. “Them so that they turn either into a painted pet, or a limited edition pet.” She smiled towards him. “How does that sound?”
Quiggy paused for a moment and looked up at her “I guess that’s fine… how much longer until we get there?”
Green smiled and looked at him “We’ll be there soon” she said, and at that point, the train slowly came to a stop at Brightvale.

Green paused a moment and nodded towards him “That’s a good thing to ask, Quiggy.” She smiled towards him “You don’t have to act so nervous, you know. I’ll answer any questions you have.” She smiled again and patted his head this time. “I happen to be one of the people on this world who knows where the lab ray is.” She said simply, “my mission in life is to adopt pets who have been abandoned by their owners. I then use the lab ray to ZAP!” She clapped her hands at this point, which startled several people on the train. “Them so that they turn either into a painted pet, or a limited edition pet.” She smiled towards him. “How does that sound?”
Quiggy paused for a moment and looked up at her “I guess that’s fine… how much longer until we get there?”
Green smiled and looked at him “We’ll be there soon” she said, and at that point, the train slowly came to a stop at Brightvale.

Day 68 and WOW!
Hey everyone! Today I got to go to a Magic tournament, and I won 3-2, three wins, and two losses. It is the first time that I got a get a prize (two Magic packs) and it was soooo excited!
I also have a few things I want to show you guys. I found an artist who makes me cry on the inside, and I wish I was half as good as him, but of course, I'm not. His name is Steve Argyle, and he has a site steveargyle.com and woooow...just wander around his site. Even if you don't understand all the references, you'll be impressed, I promise.
And I do not have chapter 3 tonight, I didn't start writing it until late. I should have it tomorrow though!

Day 67 and Thank you Lady Luck! Plus, it's an evil day
So, I noted over the last few days that I have gotten back into Neopets, and I have hit the greatest luck in the world today.. There are 9 puzzle pieces to get into the laboratory. I had seven of the pieces, and while I was going around, doing my daily freebies, I randomly found two lab pieces. One of them was one of the pieces I needed, the other was a repeat. I was amazed, I only needed one more piece...and then, I found someone who would give it to me for 240K...and so I bought it...I'm pretty much still in shock...I was expecting to be doing a few more weeks of work, saving every neopoint I made until I got it...and then I finished my quest today! And so, I sent it to GreenLawe, and I zapped the red techo 
and today he turned brown! I'm going to be continuing to zap him though before I give him back.
Anyway, here is chapter two!
A New Start
Chapter 2
Quiggy was there in the pound for a few days, curled up in the back of his cell. He spent a lot of his time crying. Every now and then he moved forward and smiled his best smile and watched as people walked by.
He didn’t even notice when the door opened and a young woman wearing a bandana walked in. She moved over to the counter. “Hello, Doctor.” She said to the yellow techo, who growled and grumbled. The woman grinned and shook her head “I have your patient back…” She picked up a rainbow cybunny and she kissed its head. “There you go. Be a good pet for your next owner, okay?” The cybunny nodded, and hugged her tight. She hugged her back, and Dr._Death held out his hand, the young woman slipping the 250 NP into his paw. She looked around “Where’s Ro-“
Suddenly the pink uni burst through the door and she grinned “Hey, Mrs. Lawe. How are you doing?”
The woman turned and smiled, looking at the uni, nodding. “I’m good. But Rosie, I told you to call me Green.”
The Uni rolled her blue eyes and she looked at her “It’s been a while.”
The, presumably Green, nodded. “Yes, I know, the lab ray was being really finicky, so you know…” She shrugged a bit, and looked at the uni. “So…is there anyone who really needs a new home?”
The uni smiled and nodded. “Yes, I just wish that you had gotten here a few days ago, this poor little guy…” She turned and started to walk down the hall, the heels clicking on the hallway.
Green followed and stopped after the Uni had, and she kneeled down, looking inside the cage. “Hi there…” she said softly to the red quiggle inside. The quiggle peeked up and looked at her, sniffling a little. Green smiled towards him, and reached forward, opening the cage and holding out her hand. “My name is Green…”
The quiggle looked at her and moved foreward a bit. “Quiggy…” he said softly.
Green smiled and nodded “Hi, Quiggy, would you like to come home with me?”
Quiggy paused a moment and started at her before she nodded, moving over to her, and then crawling into her arms.
Green smiled and hugged him close to him. “You’re going to like you’re new home, Quiggy, I promise…”
Quiggy nodded, and held on tight as Green paid the adoption fee and then walked out.

Day 66 and Gosh!
Hey everyone! I am back into being obsessed with Neopets and Harry Potter (I'm blaming Arden and Wizard Rock Bands, and Neopets)
So, I have started to write shorts again, and the one I wrote today is a Neopets one, and it will be a chaptered short story. Here is Chapter 1!
A New Start
Chapter 1
Movement. That was what the little red quiggle felt as it slowly stirred from sleep. The small, young quiggle opened his eyes and found himself wrapped up in his mother’s arms. Slowly he looked up and blinked before he put on a big smile, which faltered when he saw the look on his human mother’s face. “Mommy?” He looked around. They were walking down Neopian Central. He and his mother had been there a hundred times. “Where are we going?”
His mother looked down at him, and seemed to realize for the first time that her neopet had woken up. “Oh, good morning.” She said, and handed him a frosted acara cookie. “We’re going to the pound.”
The young quiggle paused a moment, putting the cookie in his mouth and mouthing it a bit before he looked up. “Why? I already have three siblings…” But his heart knew what his mother was going to say. The day before, they had seen an advertisement on the tv, talking about how the newest Cybunny litters were being born, and this was a very rare occasion. He knew what was coming next.
His mother did not look at him, purposefully avoiding his eyes. “I’m sorry, Quiggy, but I’m afraid I’m dropping you off there.”
The quiggle looked up at her and tears welled in his eyes. He was about to scream and cry, but she was already putting him on the pound’s counter, and handing Dr._Death a bag of neopoints before she walked off. He started sobbing, being carried in the warm arms of Dr._Death.

Day 65 and Oritentation!
Hey, everyone! It's me again! Today I didn't do a terrible lot, but I did have fun! Tom and I finally went to our orientation today, where we went so that we can use their equipment so that we can do filming!
Tom and I will be signing up for our classes tomorrow, and hopefully soon we'll be able to borrow their equipment and film for my mommy! It should be a whole lot of fun.
Oh, and I've gotten back into Neopets. I know, it's a site for kids, but I can't really help it. I think I've been addicted to it since I was 10. I have five pets over two accounts.
This is Bella200075. She's an Ixi, she's Faerie, and she's precious. I think of her as my baby. I adopted her from the pound, and after years of not playing Neopets, she was my first again. She used to be red, but luckily for me, the Lap Ray zapped her Faerie.
This is Bobleki. He's another one I adopted, he used to look like this:
, but as you can see, he changed a bit! He's gone through quite a bit of changes since I adopted him, because I zapped him a bit. He's my baby as well. He was my second.
This is my third one. Don't be fooled, Chibi_Llama_Azul is a boy! He's my big strong boy. He used to be blue, and as you can tell, he looks like a small little llama. I think of him as a goof ball, but a really sweet goofball.
And this is XweeMortima! She's a Xweetok, and she's fun and sneaky. In the little stories in my head whenever I see them, I picture her stealing her sibling's toys when they're not looking, and storing food whenever she feels like it. She used to be red
This is Liabece. She's the first one on the other account of mine. The other account will adopt pets and zap them until they're worth something, but Liabece is the only one who will be kept on that account. She's a calm girl, who is really great at treating her new siblings well, and she gets them ready for the future process.
Anyway, I have to go! I'll talk to you tomorrow!

Day 64 and YAY! BANDS!!!
Hey everyone! I had an AMAZING! day today! I went out to the Roflcoptour concert today, and it was soooo great! I love WIZARD ROCK BANDS!!!!! And there is nothing you can do about it. I think my favorite band was definately The Womping Willows (Which, despite the name, only has one member in it...).
The other bands were The Parselmouths, The Moaning Myrtles, ALL CAPS(the real reason I went), and Justin Finch-Fletchy was suppose to be there, but he had an emergency at home, and we're all thinking good thoughts.
But yes! It was SOOOO MUCH FUN! OMFG! And I am soooo happy Arden and I traded music, because I currently want to listen to it constantly...but I'm letting Tom listen to some of the music.
Song stuck in my head: Draco and Harry sittin' in a tree, S-N-O-G-G-I-N-G. Draco and Harry sittin' in a tree F-A-L-L-I-N-G in looooove!

Day 63 and this is the day after
Hey guys! I've had a pretty good day today. I went home and hung out with Janey, who was being extremely affectionate today, and I was just loving it to pieces. Overall though, it was a rather uneventful day. I am reading a cookbook now though along with the Dark Tower series. It's an odd, healthy-outlook cookbook. I might make some of the stuff in it though, and if I do, I will totally post it here.
But yeah, mostly an uneventful day.
But, here ya go, tightest parallel parking job.

Day 62 and happy july 4th everyone!
Hey everyone! Today is Independence day! It is quite exciting, and there were lots of bright lights and loud noises...
Plus, Janey gave me a present
Yep, you're seeing it right, that is a Mole. Janey was very proud of herself. She came right up to me and set it on the deck next to me. When she brought it, it wasn't quite dead yet, so she lifted it by the tail and slammed it into the door. It was dead after that. I then took a few breaths, built up my courage, and then took a piece of plastic and threw the mole. Janey freaked, and ran after it, playing with it. I let her do this for a while, but then it was time to go inside. I moved to grab her, and she avoided me. Finally I lifted her up and put her inside, and then when I put her down, she bolted back for it. Don't worry, I finally got her to stay inside, but we'll see tomorrow if she doesn't go looking for it again, haha.
Anyway, the fireworks were fantastic tonight, and I had a lot of fun, though I really hate driving around on July 4th, but there is an entire year before I have to do that again.

Day 61 and can you believe it?
Today is officially two months! I can't believe it! It is quite an amazing thing to think about. I have had a post for every day for 61 days. I swore that in the beginning, I was going to take this challenge, and that I was going to get bored within a week and stop...but now it's been two months, and I'm still going. It seems more feasible now then it did back then to keep this up for another 22 months. And I want to put out a shout out to all those that support me to do this.
Plus, I've been drawing again, and while I still pretty much suck, I am getting better. I will hopefully be scanning them in soon and editing them, and once I do that I can post them. The people I sketch tend to be pretty proportional, but very skinny. That, or they are completely unproportional and honestly look quite insane.
I also got a few new books today, on my kindle today(still have a little money on Amazon). I got a knitting book and a romance novel. I will tell you what I think about them when I finish. Plus, I think that if anyone needs a new series to read, it should definitely be The Dark Tower series by Stephen King. I will give a warning, it starts off really slow, and you won't understand anything that is going on...but then it really picks up as long as you can make it to a town called Tull. If you aren't addicted by the time he leaves Tull, then it just isn't the series for you. But I would be shocked if most of the people didn't become addicted to this series like I did. It is a really great series, and it will almost always have you on the edge of wondering "WHAT THE F___?" and what's going to happen next. It is really an amazing series, and I'm currently on the third book. There are seven books, and a short story(which can be found in Everything's Eventual, a great short story book by Stephen King).
Though, I will give a disclaimer...I am a huge Stephen King fan. I know not everyone is, and I am probably very very biased, but hey, you won't know you're a huge Stephen King fan if you don't try it, right?
