gibber.
Work is progressing. December and most of January was taken up with short stories. I still have to edit them. I'll have to do that soon, over the next few days... But I'm also back on the book. Writing away. Skipping chunks and writing important bits. I'm on the final confrontation now, making sure everything fits together. Even though there is a lot more writing to do, loads of gaps to fill in and storylines to link up, I am TECHNICALLY writing the end of the book at the moment. Will I finally get to find out how it ends? Or will I leave that blank also, to be finished off when everything else is complete?
I don't know. I really don't.
I have, maybe, another month of writing ahead of me before the first draft is done. Every morning I wake up, lie in bed for an hour (yes, it is good to be a writer) and think about the sequence I need to write that day. Then I'm up and writing. There is very little time to think about other things, such as writing blogs or tweeting, and I know you understand that, but I do want to thank you all for your patience. I don't like being silent for this long — but soon, I won't have to be.
Soon.

XD yuppppp
*tackles snow back* did you miss me (now I sound like Moriarty)
Cathedral. :-)
hey, Fabi!
Are you down under too Rueben?
*pokes with dynamite
Hey fabi! You finished it yet? You need to post a picture when its done.
Rueben, you are Moriarty. Plot twist.
Umm... Do you mean do I live in Australia? because I do
I', gonna be distant for a while, while I finish my milo
Yeah means Australia/New Zealand.
*giggles*
I HATE IRISH HOMEWORK SO MUCH
Kay.
The school I go to, you only have 30 mins reading, and 30 mins writing each night! I love that school
Mara, the Irish language confuses me. No hablo Irish.
Haha, no. I won't be finished for a long time.
Can't post a pic of it now, sorry.
Not bad Rueben. I remember in elementary school we did guided reading, where you'd be in a group with kids in the same reading ability and the teacher would meet with your group alone. The levels would be A-Z, A being easy Z being hardest. So I was in the group that was high in reading like T-Z level. It was so easy. We'd rewd a book and have to discuss it, in 4th grade we read Bunicula. But in 5th grade it was class reading so we'd all read a book. In 6th grade we had to do projects in reading. Damn elementary was so easy.
Kay fab.
I don't get much homework. The teachers always forget to give it out so they just give it to us as "preparatory work" at the beginning of class.

*hides in corner* what is that strange writing?? *slithers away*
I'm so close to finishing my first round of edits and I only finished Imperfect this morning.
GUYS I'M SO EXCITED AND SO PROUD OF MYSELF I DON'T THINK ANYONE UNDERSTANDS
SOMEBODY SCREAM WITH ME PLEASE
I had an excellent 2nd grade teacher. She read to us everyday. She'd read the Magic Treehouse books which were epic. And yeah, 1st grade our teacher did a behavior system with trophies that she'd use an expo marker to put an X on if you misbehaved 3 strikes and no fun friday where we played a game or had an extra recess indoors. In lunch if pur class had a red light we all got one x we used to have the lights as a warning green was warning yellow was second warning red was bad like your teacher would be furious
yeah, in my school, the 8,9 and 10's are in the same classroom, and we all get the same amount of homework, but 8's have to write an essay, 250-300 words, 9's 350-400, and grade 10's 450-500 words! grade 11 and 12 are in the same classroom, but I don't know how much homework they get, as I'm still in grade 8
I'm not really here, but I just had to come on and scream!
*SCREAMS LOUDLY* *ATTACKLEHUGS MUSHROOM LIKE AN ATTACKLEHUGGER* *SCREAMS AGAIN* *LEAPS AROUND LIKE A LEAPER AROUNDER* *SCREAMS AGAIN* *CONTINUES SCREAMING*
*hugs* WELL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :)
And I know it'll be awesome so like YEAH!!!! :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hia star and luci!!
*tackle hugs luci* OMG THAT IS AMAZING!!
@Rueben: O_O
I am in a school where there are 330 people in each year group.
There are eleven different forms for just year eight.
(and the school is continuously getting bigger, so in a few years there'll be 360 per year group)
#ChaseForBookNine
*attacklehugs Star then Snow* THANK YOU BOTH I AM SO EXCITED AND PROUD AND WOOOOOOOOo
there are 60 people in each classroom, but there are 9 classrooms, I think, and there are around 650 people in the school
"And I really think that health care people don’t know anything, but instead when they're training say: ‘If you don’t know what it is, make up a long word they won’t remember and give them any old drugs you can get your hands on.’ "
*facepalm* *laughs*
#ChaseForBookNine
I NEED TO GET YOUR BOOKS ASAP!! LUCI YOU.... ASDFGHJKLASDFGUJKLJGSGDUWK *HUGS AGAIN*
YAY LUCYYYYYYYY [hugs]
@Rueben: 60? How big are your classrooms????
We have about thirty per class. My science set is really large and we have like 36 or something so we have to have people on spare chairs perching on the edges of tables. :P
Sounds interesting, anyway. :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh we have 400+ per grade. Over thousand kids in the school
We have 15-30 kids per class
The Driver Ed class opposite us has 36 kids 33 desks so the teacher said he'll send 4 kids to band lessons as they are all band kids
My group has 15 kids
We have about 30 people per class with six main classes for core subjects... yeah
Sliiiightly here
Hey adrasdos.
I think I just found out how to get a profile pic! It was one of this edit thingy I had to do last year
Cool c:
Bbs, gotta get breakfast
Kay Snow
Hello/ Bye, Snow
Anna Kendrick is really pretty tbh
So I just found something out. If we can manage to sell the house that my grandparents left us, we may be going to england next year...
I FEEL DEAD
I FINISHED IMPERFECT AND DID MY FIRST ROUND OF EDITS
AND WE ALREADY STARTED EDITING FOR A SECOND TIME
I AIN'T DOING ANYTHING ELSE UNTIL TOMORROW
I AM SO DEAD HELP
*hugs luci*
*hugs Snow* How are you, perfect?
Ah well England is cool
I'm sorry, I really want to stay up and talk to you perfect guys because I adore you all so much.
However, I fear that I am slowly slipping from consciousness' grip and into the dark pit which most people refer to as sleep. I'd much rather go peacefully than be dragged kicking and screaming into the horror filled ditch.
Goodnight all. May you all have wonderful days.
Why are creme eggs only around for like 3 months?
They are so delicious!!!!!!!!!!!! Why can't they be a year long thing. It's depressing that in the space of 3 months, I have to eat my body weight in creme eggs before they disappear at the end of April.
I'm such a fat bitch.
I want to go sooo bad to England or Ireland, because I have 3rd cousins over in Ireland, and I-don't-know-what in England
xD Em
Bye luci. :)
Sorry, distant
And the only other country I've been to is New Zealand
#ChaseForBookNine
Still distantly here
"i don't give a crap about those bitches"
I LOVE PITCH PERFECT
*hugs Luci* Yay!:) Congrats!
I'm going to go and eat my pancakes now, so bye everyone who is still on here!
Bye Rueben
Hello! I'm back everyone!
#ChaseForBookNine
tbh Stacie, Chloe and Beca are so hot like wow woman crushessssssss
Check out my hand!!
My feet are next :)
Omg my dad...forgets his wallet to go pay for food.
I just made a blog.com account, but it went retarted and wouldn't let me do anything to change it, so I have to stay with this account :( I could always try making a different Gmail account, but every time I try to make one, it goes weird as well :( I'm not very good with computers!
#ChaseForBookNine
Awww :(
We were watching this movie and I'm actually shaking
It was about a boy who played this game that sucked him in and he lived in a jungle nightmare until some kids 26 years later rolled a 5 or 8 and then he was freed. The kids now must play too and they found the girl Sara who played the day he was sucked in and they were gonna start again. It was her turn.
We are recording the rest, I'm actually freaked by it.
Hello!
Boy was it quiet today
Ay babe
I came in like a pineapple
hia
Boom
Ack, sorry.
Was going to be here, but then dinner. :-/
Well hai now
Hello Zaf. :-)
I'm in a writing mood, so a bit distant.
Its okay I'm watching the Olympics
Sorry, had to go get lunch
Hey Snow.
Yeah, I've been in front of the TV a lot today... While building my cathedral. Which is going well, but I'm a bit stuck on the fancy bit.
Ah! Cool first gold goes to the US xD
Right... All done with the henna. Now I just have to wait for it to dry.
Which could possibly take three more hours
[Nods]
Really...? Wow.
Well. I know! It was stunning we won
Yeah :/ I'm waiting for my left foot to dry off so I can put the lemon/sugar concoction on it and let THAT dry... And by then, my right foot might be about ready. And then eventually they'll both be good
And then after I pick it off, I have to put olive oil on it, because I can't wash it off within 24 hours or so...
So.
:P
:0
(Directed at everything)
I never knew henna was that complicated. I guess it makes sense, though.
Cool.
...
Cool?
Not sure that's what I meant...
I had one but I wouldn't do it during school
Interesting, perhaps.
Yes... Well, that's just the way my friend does it. She says that lemon juice and sugar helps the henna stay on longer. That, and the longer you have it on your skin, the better it will be.
However, you have to be very still.
My left hand was so still, it was freezing cold. My right was fine, it was just that the lack of movement in my hand made the blood flow slower, I suppose.
My feet are growing cold as we speak
That's a whole buncha henna Adra.
Herrow!
#ChaseForBook9
[Nods]
Probably.
[Waves to Trip]
[Waves to Fabi]
#ChaseForBook9
I need to learn how to count or ten in a language that isn't English, French, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, American Sign Language,Tibetan or German.
Hm...
*whistles a jolly good tune*
#ChaseForBook9
*ninja tackles trip*
Are those all ones you can, or options?
#ChaseForBook9
I had two done over the summer. I think I was up until 1am the one in Florida I was laying awake on my iPod before I could sleep because it wasn't try, except where I had it was easy to keep still.
*is ninja tackled* Arh! A ninja!
#ChaseForBook9
*slithers away into the shadows*
They're ones that someone in the class already knows, and I'm supposed to find a new one. I should probably avoid Latin as well, because I believe Duncan is doing that one...
[Lassoes Snow and tacklehugs her so she can't escape]
And I couldn't do it now though because in school we aren't allowed
Gaelic!
And it was a snake too! Oh woe is me!
Then I'm afraid I can't help, all the ones that I know are on that list. Frightfully sorry.
#ChaseForBook9
TRIPPPP
AY
-Sorry, I had to get it off my right foot and put the lemony stuff on my left-
-Trip please say you're in the mood for continuing from where we were because PLEASE-
-I guess?-
You mean to tell me?
#ChaseForBook9
I found a video for Gaelic, actually, but I'm pretty sure I'm supposed to be able to pronounce the numbers, so...
The database has some others, though, so I think I'll be okay. At least one of these has to be semi-pronounceable, right?
(Wait, who was that to?)
(Also- sorry to jump down your throat, I've just been rolling around basically. How are you, though?)
Heh. Seems they're rping so I'm casually gonna just probably leave and focus on the skating on tv
(Adra, and I'm fine thanks. I'm sitting in a dark room while my friends sleep wasting valuable sleep able time on you guys. Because that's how cool you lot are.)
#ChaseForBok9
*huggles fabi*
*She looks at him for a moment*
*Is silent*
Crimson is your wife from before you lost your memory. She lost you, and when you take the lotus flower, you become who you were before you lost your memories again.
I left you because I would want her to leave if our roles were reversed. I wouldn't be able to handle losing you, and it would be painful to me every day to look into your familiar eyes, and the look I would get back would lack recognition.
It- it would kill me if I were her. I would literally die.
And, as I have said, I have a habit of putting others before me.
(Sorry, I'm not rightly sure what bit we're at.
And we are so privileged :P)
(Okay Zaf)
((Kay Zaf.))
((hugs Snow))
RAIN!!! YESSSS!!!! its been so hot all day and now, finally, rain!!
So, there are a million bajillion languages on this database and one of them is Catalan, and my half-asleep brain read it as Castalan, and thought that for some reason Trip had his own language, and then oh wait Catalonia, Catalan, right.
In a way, though, we do all have our own languages...
Maybe I'll write a speech about it sometime. Though I'll probably forget, or abandon it halfway through.
The raiiiiiin in Spain stays mainly in the plain.
I hated doing that song...
That's a good idea for a speech actually, Fabi. I would be interested in hearing that...
My guide in Barcelona knew Catalan. She knew many languages. It was incredibly- she was only in her twenties.
Maybe I'll stay. Yeah but I'm not doing anything. I don't think I'll ever be able to write Zavel
Well, I'll try to write it, but I can't promise...
Cool.
Omg Trip's probably fallen asleep.
I'd cry :3
IN ANY CASE
*Hums the song*
*frowns* but trip does have his own language.
Blergh. *sits in dynamite forest*
Omg, thunder!! *does a happy dance*
I love t-storms
I do as well... So pretty
Brb, gonna stand outside
When my brother lived here he used to sit on the steps with me and we'd watch before the rain came. He tried sacrificing me to lightning gods. Ah those were the days. T-storms were fun.
I love it when the rain is pounding down, and there's a lot of wind, too. It's that combination of amazing and beautiful and scary.
I always enjoyed watching the lightning over the river- and still do, to this day. Especially at night time, we sit and watch the lightning, and make scorecards for each of the bolts.
*manic grin* that was fun!!!!
We have mountains but the lightning is still cool through the mountains
Wind is so strong and the rain is near hail and.... LIGHTNING STRUCK A TREE ACROSS THE ROAD!!! WHOOOOOO
Wow :P
I once caught a lightning strike on my phone. (Granted, I had taken 100 misses)
I guess there's a metaphor in that.
100 misses and one victory, that is.
It was worth it
Thats so cool!!!
:DDDDDDDDDDDDD
I HOPE THERE'S A POWER OUTAGE
Whoa...
Msd :/
AUGH, sorry!
Was writing,
I sleep now
Night then, Zaf.
SNOWWWWWWWWWWWW! :D
I have become obsessed with getting splinters out of people. The deeper in the better (when they're deep in means I get to dig to get it out *manic grin*).
YESSSSSSSS?
XD. I know thats not what you ment. But...
Ah.
:-P
*higs fab* I'm reading a story and I only found out in the second chapter the name of the main character. Guess what her name is? Snow. It keeps making me freak out.
What story?
And I have weird reactions to characters with my name as well. Particularly ones that die.
[Glares at an author I won't name, who is actually a good author, but had a character with the same name as me in one of her books. That character dies. Oops. Spoiler.]
And sometimes I'm odd about Fabiennes or Fabians. And I haven't run into a Moss.
Oh, some online one. My friend suggested it and now I know why. The devil.
Oh, okay.
How're you?
Blah. I don't feel like answering that question. You?
I am... literal
G2g, dinner
Bye...
Remember in book 2 Valkyrie mentioned that she tried to get Skul to get a bike? Well, a skeleton, on a bike, not to mention a skeleton that's an Elemental, so he can use fire. I suddenly regretted watching Ghost Rider right after reading a Skulduggery book.
The truth remains behing brocken bars
we'll never be the same
you broke my heart now I'll break yours....
You will feel my pain
(HATE)
Hate ain't enough to describe me
(SCREAM)
Somewhere between screaming and crying
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(WHY)
When do I get to know why?
(BITTER)
Bitter as the stink of when I try
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
No
Pull your hands away I'm gone
Goodbye
It's so depressing
Withering away
Take a look
Inside
My soul is missing
All I have is dead, so I'll take you with me
I feel like I'm erased
So kill me just in case
I feel like I'm erased
So kill me just in case
SO KILL ME
JUST IN CASE
(COVET)
Everything around me's mine
(STY)
Can't see through the sties in my eyes
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(DOWN)
Scratching and clawing all the way
(STAY)
You won't let me fucking stay
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
(LIVE)
Is there another way to live?
(DIE)
Coz it's the only way to die
I'm not supposed to be here
I'm not supposed to be
NO!
NO!
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE
I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey star.
What did you think of my little poem? If you read it
@Snow: Which one where? D:
Hi! Msd.
#ChaseForBookNine
Right above your song lyrics
Lying drunkedly just staring at the stars
Remember when they were in reach
And all the teachers used to teach
"You can do anything if you put your mind to it"
We put our minds to it all
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could do anything but we never quite knew it, so
#ChaseForBookNine
@Snow: That's a good little poem. :) I like the chilling feel to it.
(Yes, sorry. In a lyrical mood today.)
#ChaseForBookNine
I guessed.
and I was just sitting aroun and for some reason thought of it... my head does that sometimes, just throws me a random piece of writing
*nods*
Whereas my head can't write. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Nawwwwwww. *huggles* sure it can.
The quotes blog is going so well c:
Yesterday we were watching the Olympic skiing, the Women's Moguls, and in the final twelve . . . Four of them were Canadian, and three of them were sisters. Maxime Dufour-Lapointe, Justine Dufour-Lapointe, and Chloe Dufour-Lapointe. Maxime was the eldest, and she didn't get into the final. Her sisters did, and Chloe won a silveredal, and Justine won a gold.
And you have to wonder about their family, you know?
My mum pointed out that I wouldn't mind if I did.'t do well, and I'd be more happy for my brother and sister, but that that would actually make me less successful. My sister, however, is massuvely competitive, so she'd do better. But, on the other hand, that also meant she'd be more desvastated if she DIDN'T do as well.
So my sister's more likely to succeed, but more likely to do badly if she doesn't succeed.
(I hope Maxime,doesn't feel too bad, anyway.)
(It's not really fair. She got into the Olympic finals, but she's actually done less well in her family.)
(You have to wonder what kimd of patents they have.)
(I wonder if they're those parents that push their kids to succeed.)
(I bet they aren't. Those parents actually hamper success, and those kids have been very successful, haven't they?)
#ChaseForBookNine
I just added a view counter and gave it a stupid name XD
@Snow: I can't. :)
And, YAAAAY! :) It was a jepic idea. :) :) :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Good for you. :P Msd.
#ChaseForBookNine
Kay. *thinks ablut the skiers*
Hermmmmmm... maybe I should try to do the video ded for this one...
@Snow: Good luck if you do. And good luvk id you don't. And just general good luck. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
OH, GOOD!
I've found a better phone browser that the blog works on.
Coz I'm sorry, but the one I downloaded yesterday is just CRAP.
#ChaseForBookNine
Sorry, had to poof to download a sherlock sound bored and a doctor who sound board.
Gtg! :(
#ChaseForBookNine
*hugs* byee
I have come to a conclusion: Blogland is a drug *nods*
Massive fires near Melbourne. Guess where my sister and I are heading tomorrow?
There's a fire about 30km from where I live. It's under control, though.
Fires all along the freeway to Melbourne.
Fuck.
Ooh. That sucks.
We're getting new pew cushions at the church.
My mum is angry because she says it'll take thousands of pounds and she thinks they could put the money to better use. She says "I'm sorry, but with the poverty I see at work . . ."
She said "You know, there's this boy I work with whose elder brother is still in a prison camp, and to even just reopen the case it'll cost £500, which is more than his family will ever be able to afford so he'll never be able to come over here, and they're spending thousands of pounds on church bloody cushions!"
The world is sad, really.
I mean . . .
Think about what you can do with thousands of pounds.
You sit there in church for an HOUR.
You could just have a pile of cushions and get people to take one.
They're going to get it properly upholstered and fill like the whole church.
It doesn't really NEED doing.
#ChaseForBooknine
Even that, though, is a matter of perspective, Star. Someone who runs the church might think it's worth making a large group of people routinely happier for an hour- maybe they think it's worth making the church more inviting and comfortable so a large group of people can add to their spiritual experience- even if it costs thousands of pounds that could be otherwise used to assist a few of the poor. If you imagine a whole bunch of people who rely on their faith for strength going into the church and feeling cozy and relaxed the moment they sit down, and then staying that way for an hour, and then leaving with only good emotions to speak of rather than sore-ness, and this happens consistently every week- that seems pretty valuable to me. Is it more valuable than giving a boy a shot at leaving a prison camp? Maybe not, but maybe it is. I can't make that judgement for someone else. And yes, churches are supposed to try to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and all of that, and it may very we'll be that pew cushions aren't worth it, but it's also possible that they are.
#ChaseForBook9
Hey Adra! *hugs* I may or may not actually be here, but in any case, hello!
#ChaseForBook9
-Sucessfully read both points-
I believe you both are right... No, perhaps pin cushions aren't vital. I agree, there might be something done with the money. Perhaps if they donated that money to someplace where it could be put to good use and fundraiser the rest?
That, or they did a project one week, where they taught people how to make pincushions. Then the laypeople would make them.
And that would be cool..
Hello :) And sure sure sure. How are you?
-my henna has darkened overnight-
-a LOT-
-except my left foot. That one, we used thinner strips so it isn't as dark, but my hand looks amazing-
@Ari: But they don't need proper upholstery and all that. They could just get people to donate cushions. -_-
And it's not really that uncomfortable.
But I take your point. :)
Or they could buy a load of cheap cushions.
ADHLAHNANDLAMD.
*waves to Adra and Ari*
@Adra: *shrugs* You still have to buy the fabric and stuff . . . but that would be quite cool, yeah. :) We could MAKE cushions.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: That's ace. :) :) Henna is cool. :)
#ChaseForBookNine
Hey, Star!
Aye- making the cushions... It would be a community experience as well, you know? And in the long run, perhaps they could still use the money that they raises for cotton and fabric...
I'm sure it'll be a bit less cheaper than pre-made, nice pin cushions
Oh gosh I really have to write something. Like, I've been silent for a few days and I just CAN'T.
Although, bear in mind, this is prior to what Trip and Adra are doing
-
*She sits on her couch, flipping through a book, looking for inspiration for a kid name, whilst sipping some applesauce and eating a sandwich*
*Focuses on trying to make sense of what she's reading, but some of the names are odd*
Ah, idek anym . . .
And, yes, Adra. :)
You half thing it would be better if they just knocked all the pews down. Much more friendly and convenient and stuff. I've told you about my mum's weird church where they meet in a bookstore? And me and my mum were standing there with our biscuits and coffee, and my mum pointed out how if we were in the weird church someone would have come up and spoken to us, and she said she didn't think it was the people, she just thought it was easier to speak to people there, something about the building.
#ChaseForBookNine
@Adra: Okay. :) :)
*wataching*
#ChaseForBookNine
I have a habit of making my emails incredibly long, but then I tend to procrastinate replying to the long replies that inevitably follow because length. *facepalm*
#ChaseForBookNine
Oh yeah- I can understand that... I think that knocking the pews down might be for some, a sign of disrespect. I know that there are many conservatives these days..
-And I'm not really sure what I'm writing, but I have two essays to write today...-
Oh, might it be?
*shrugs*
Well, if you proposed it, you would probably have a number of objections, especially from the early service, I think.
And - :( Good luck on your essays.
#ChaseForBookNine
"In a formal one-paragraph essay, defend the tenet of the book, Twenty-Five Books That Shaped America, that Transcendentalists did indeed help to shape America.Although the chapter is about Henry David Thoreau specifically, you will need to apply some of the points made to Ralph Waldo Emerson as well. Your three assertions must be three different points made in the chapter to prove that Transcendentalists had a lasting effect on our country. (Read the chapter carefully.) Each assertion must therefore include a direct quotation from the chapter, chosen wisely, woven smoothly, and cited correctly. You will NOT be quoting from Emerson or Thoreau's works in this paragraph."
Look at that prompt.
Just
why.
And I just found out I have to read five other documents for English. Thankfully, they're shorter. But still...
@Adra: Um. :/ Good luck . . .
#ChaseForBookNine
Ta, friend.
I'm not going to even think about my AAA essay.. .Blegh.
So anyway.
How are you?
-
*Adra flips the phone around in her hands, thinking of calling, and shifts awkwardly in her seat*
*Curls up on her side, finding that position more comfortable*
*Sighs, thinking about how they're almost at six months*
*Frowns, patting her belly*
*She has a lot to do until then*
@Adra: :) Three more monthssssssssssssssss.
There was a Narnia book once, and it said that in Calormene children were taught story-telling, just as children in England are taught essay-writing, and the difference is that people want to hear the stories whereas no one wants to read the essays. :P
#ChaseForbookNine
Oh, I'm okay. :)
(Yes, forgot that. *facepalm*)
How are you? :)

That is true. Essays are droll things. The main challenge is making them interesting enough. You really have to nail it.
We did storytelling in the eighth grade. I had to memorize a children's book about Egyptian Cinderella. There were so many words in it- and I think my presentation was around five minutes long. It was ludicrous.
I would rather know story telling. I'm good at that, I think.
I'm alright :)
Gmail is advertising LED lightbulbs to me three times over. *facepalm*
I blame my science homework. :P

And - really? That's cool/not cool, in ways. :)
I'm pretty crap at telling stories, so I think it would be nice to learn. :)
