The Ultimate Novel Challenge

I am a writer. I always have been. But there's one thing that I have trouble doing: finishing something. I have many story beginnings... and not many endings. I always end up getting caught up in other ideas or I just can't figure out what to write anymore. But I'm going to forget all that and finish something for once!
My friend and I are participating in THE ULTIMATE NOVEL CHALLENGE!!! I have to write a novel that is no shorter than 50,000 words in one month. We are starting on June first and going through to June thirtieth. I don't know what I'm writing yet, but I hope it'll be good! At least I'll have fun doing it.

Wish me luck!

Being Girly for Once

If you guys really know me (or if you read my 'about me' in earlier posts) you could probably tell that I'm not the girliest person. You know, video games, attitude, and the fact that I absolutely hate wearing makeup. Yesterday, my friend came over and we had a really great time. We talked about boys and listened to music and drooled over cute celebrities. It was that girly moment that I usually don't have.

Just for the heck of it and because this entry was really short, I'm going to give you the first ten songs that show up on shuffle on my iPod:

Barton Hollow- The Civil Wars
It's Still Rock and Roll to Me- Billy Joel
Someone Like You- Adele
Misery Business- Paramore
We are the Champions- Queen
Gonna Get Over You- Sara Bareilles
Happy- Never Shout Never
Ours- Taylor Swift
We are Young- Fun.
50 Ways to Say Goodbye- Train

Well there you go :) I was bored today, okay?

These are just some cute quotes. I got it online a while ago so I don't have a link for it... I know I got it from Google though :)

Invisible Movie Explosion

I know I've mentioned my cat, Lulu, to you guys. She's gray with an even darker gray tail, ears and face. Her limbs are dark gray as well, but then turn to white at the paws. She's got mittens! :)
Anyway, my cat has done some pretty weird things in the past. She's gone from lovey-dovey Lulu- wanting me to pet her and jumping on my lap when I stop- to malicious Lulu- attacking my face and hand- in a matter of seconds. I don't know what's causing this. I have a bipolar cat.
I could continue with my cat stories, but there's one in particular that happened just a few minutes ago.
I sat down in my circle chair, finding that it was filled with little stuffed animals that I had thrown there. I pulled them out from under my butt, and threw them on my bed. An unsuspecting Lulu was sitting innocently on the bed, relaxing while I type. The animal landed right at her feet and, startled, she jumped up, flew backwards and landed on the floor on the far side of the bed. Her jump was about a yard backwards and on to the floor. I sat there laughing my butt off and not being able to stop. I walked over to her, still laughing, and picked her up and put her on the bed. She cautiously walked over to the toy with her head bent, wondering just what had scared her so.
If you didn't laugh, this was probably a 'you hadda be there' story :)

Fun Fact of the Day:
A group of cats is called a clowder of cats :)

Friendship Sealed with String

Recently, I've been getting into crafting. I started a sewing project and I'm making friendship bracelets for all my friends and for myself. And don't laugh. I know you're laughing. Sewing is for old people you say. Well it's stress relieving. I have anxiety problems, okay?
But I'm not here to talk about sewing. Friendship bracelets are what I'm really into right now. I'm slow at it, but with practice, I'll get better.
I asked my mom and my dad if they wanted one and they do. My mom wants one to wear and my dad wants me to make a lanyard for his flashdrive. I'm excited to start on them :)
If any of you share my current excitement for friendship bracelets, shoot me a comment.
I learned everything I know about Friendship bracelet making from this website: knotcool.com . Drop by for some pretty designs and step by step instructions on how to make them.
