Hello

The giveaway has ended! Thank you all for participating. Wait! . . . I feel like I'm missing something. *laugh* Oh, yes, I remember.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!

Maybe it's just me but I am so excited for 2012. *sigh* A clean slate.

"Tomorrow is a new, with no mistakes in it."

"No mistakes in it, yet."

-Anne of Green Gables

That's what makes new years enjoyable. We don't know what's going to happen in 2012 but we can hope that it's better than the year before. So I guess you could say it's not what new years is but what it represents, hope.

Now, as far as the giveaway is concerned I'm afraid I've been so super busy this year. *smile* I will post the giveaway winner this evening, until then farwell.

Rain in the winter time?

Christmas says goodbye and guess what the weather surprises us with. Rain! For some this is quite normal but not here. Less then five years ago we got 9 feet of snow one winter, I am not joking! Well, I've decided I'm going to enjoy the rain and 50 degree weather while it lasts because spring seems to be the season that is here and then gone in a flash.

3 MORE DAYS!

Epic things

Epic thing #1 - P.G. Wodehouse.

I mean, come on, how more witty and hilarious can his books get? I just finished 'Leave it to Psmith' and I chuckled the whole way through it. Chuckled is a funny word, *cough* moving on.  

Epic thing #2 -  Obscure TV show lines.

Random? yes. But it makes me happy. Go Psych!

Epic thing #3 - Reaching 50 books in the Goodreads 2011 reading challenge.

Yeah! I reached 50! The 50th book being Sinner by Ted Dekker. Which by the way was the best of the three in the series.

Epic thing #4 - Reading Shakespeare aloud.

It might be a nerdy thing, but I have come to except it. It really is awesome. Of course I have come to the conclusion that Shakespeare is meant to be watched not read, it being a play and all.

Epic thing #5 - Reaching 1000 word on my new writing project.

Why am I the only one clapping?

Epic thing #6 - Quotes.

Big surprise right?

Epic thing #7 - We have come to a close on epic things {at least for today}.

What about you? Find anything epic lately?

Hello Seattle by Owl City

Today I'm 16

Well, it doesn't feel any different! The funnest thing is "everyone" says 16 will feel different, but don't be fooled. Nothing really feels different. And I'm okay with that.

Yep, you read right, I am 16 today.

But the real reason for this post is to infrom you that I will be gone all of next week. From Sunday to Saturday.

*sniff*

But it's okay. It's only a week. I will survive...I WILL survive!

So goodbye for now my dear, faithful, wonderful, amazing followers...For now.

I got a new book today

I got an awesome book today! The Door Within by Wayne Thomas Batson. And guess what? I will be doing a book review on it soon.

SHOCKER!

Well, anyway, this book has the most amazing quote in it, and I HAVE to share it with you.

"Adventures are funny things.

They may creep out of holes,

appear down a seldom trodden path,

fall out of a tree,

or even arrive in an envelope.

But they always start the same way.

Adventures always begins with the

unexpected..."

i'm back

Wow, what a crazy week! Waking up early and going to bed late have taken their tool on me. But I had a very fun time and meet a lot of new people. BUT. Yes, there is but. I have another tournament in April, 16 days away. And I am going to be planning for it. So please all forgive me if I happen to not post in awhile. I will make the effort to be on and post, but I'll have to see how that goes.

just wanted to let you know...

Happy first day of spring. Yes, today, March 20, is the first day of spring. The snow is melting, flowers are growing, and I feel so happy. But, anyway, I just wanted you all to know that I will not be on blogger for the rest of the week. Me, my mom, and my two sisters are driving over to Seattle for a speech tournament.

*jumps in the air very thrilled*

But I will not totally abandon you, my followers. I will be scheduling posts through out the week on really cool subjects.

So keeps your eyes open. And I will see you all next week.

update + quote

Just wanted to make sure everybody knew I was still alive. ☺ I have been very busy lately with speech and try to post often, I haven't been doing to bad.

Here is a cool quote I have to share!

"I write for the same reason I breathe - because if I didn't, I would die." - Issac Asimov

Amazing quote?! I love it. What are some of your favorite writing quotes? I would LOVE to hear them.
