Guess what?

The world hasn't ended yet!! I already knew it wouldn't, but still. I just wanted to rub it in people's faces a little bit - I'm mean, I know.

No, but seriosuly, this has got me thinking about what I would do if the world really was going to end. There are so many things as a 19 year old, that I have yet to do because I haven't lived very long if you think about it. It would suck to not have accomplished any of my goals like going to Ireland, or being published, or finally getting my diploma, if the world was to end.

I'm sure glad it hasn't, and won't in my life time!

Happy holidays

Happy holidays people out there in the bloggerverse! Whatever you celebrate, celebrate it with pride, unless you're a Satanist or Nazi or in the KKK and such...you guys make my happy turn sad.

So, a couple of things need to be said. Drink responsibly this year- and read many, many books! Read until your heart's content people! But seriously, I would like to say some things.

There are millions of people around the world who are in dire need of help- so think about them for a little bit, and be thankful for what you have. We have shelter, food, technology, and water that is already purified. Our children grow up with toys and education. We have medicine for when we get sick- and where I live in Canada, our medicare system is fantastic. There are people dying of hunger everywhere in the world, yet we go out and buy gifts at Christmas and spend our money on things that we don't need to buy...because we have the means. So be thankful for what you have.

Also, I am so very sorry for losses from the recent tradegy in Conneticut, my heart is with everybody.

I've been thinking a lot recently, about what I am thankful for. And here are some people (I have more familyu and friends, but these are some examples haha:

 

Some of my friends, my mum and dad, my aunty Fiona, my uncle Alan, my cousin Rebecca and her son, kaleb, my grandparerents on my mum's side, my boyfriend.

My mum is the best! I miss her and my dad both when I'm up in Sherbrooke, and I'm happy to be down in Montreal with my parents.

Update on the door slammer

So, it seems to have been a fluke...NOT! I'll post pictures of the scratches I recieved later, because right now I've gotta make this post quick, but still.

No more door slamming, which was FREAKING creepy, but there has been some banging and voices and Liam said I had scratches. I'll see what I can record later on, if it get worse...though maybe not because I have the irrational fear that was brought to me by paranormal activity haha, recording=death...

Anyhoozen, I gotta go. Exams and whatnot. Update later- about other things too :D

Lol- literally, i laughed out loud in my empty house like a loser

This made me very happy. I love Llamas like you have no idea. Also, laughing at this made me forget my creeped-out-ness for a bit.

Writer's block, psychic experiences, and more, oh my!

I officially think something strange is going on in my place. In October, my boyfriend Liam and I were experiencing strange phenomena and as a psychic (I've been tested for crazy, and I am not) I was not exactly thrilled that I was seeing weird black mist at random times in my place. Nor was I thrilled that I was hearing random voices and scratching noises. Liam wasn't either. Then, it got worse, when he was just like...in this trance thing, staring at me with an evil-ass smile. Talk about terrifying! He couldn't even remember that happening. I also woke up with scratches- needles to say we did a cleansing of sorts, and things settled down. The only scratching and bumps and stuff that remained was from the heater and freezer, and floorboards. No more creepy mist either! The only spirits were the usual wanderers that pass by, checking things out peacefully and quietly. As per usual if you notice these things.

And today I'm back to hearing voices, and the door to my room slammed shut. In case you didn't understand me- my freaking door slammed shut while the window was closed, and the fans were off and I was chilling on my bed like "Holy shit!" I thought Liam was getting home when I heard the voices, and was about to get up when the god-dammned door slanmed shut.

I think you know where I'm going with this. My pants? They have been decently crapped in. What's worse, is I can't see anything- just have this bad feeling. I'm going to go all paranormal activity on this mofo's arse and use my laptop's surveillance camera to see if I can maybe see anything then. And you KNOW if I do, I will be posting it.

Also, my writers block is gone. Thanks creepy ass ghost for giving me inspiration. Writer's block gone, pants equal soiled.

Insomnia

I suffer from Insomnia. It's a terrible thing to not be able to sleep most of the time, especially if you're tired from said lack of sleep. It's random too, like, I sleep for twenty minutes one night, and then can stay awake for two days, then sleep for three hours and stay awake awake for five days, and sometimes I actually sleep the whole night through. Tonight is not the case, however, as you can tell by the time. I'm not able to sleep yet, and don't think I will be for a while. So out of boredom, here's a picutre of my cousin Rebecca and her son, Kaleb (my second cousin). I love them to death!

 

 

Books I'm currently enjoying

So, it's been a while- sorry about that. I've been busy with school, plus, nobody reads this blog anyway, so no big deal. Just my lack of commitment...no, but seriously, I feel crappy that I didn't update sooner, because this is supposed to be serious stuff right here! But oh well. C'est la vie!

So, on Wattpad, the main site I post my books on and read books posted by other people like myself, has some pretty great books on there!

One in particular, is called Finvarra's Circus, by DistantDreamer, or her real name, Monica Sanz (look her up on Goodreads, or her Facebook page).

It is a great story, and I just adore it, and I am so darned happy every time she updates.

Here is the author's synopsis: "Born with a damaged heart, Leanna Weston has lived a sheltered life with little chance at adventure. When she hears that Finvarra’s Circus is coming to her small town, she sneaks off to witness the magic first hand, sure that this is her only chance at experiencing true magic—even if the frightening rumors about the heartless Ringmaster, Finvarra, are true. Caught by Finvarra, Leanna is given one chance at survival: she must join the circus. As slowly she becomes part of the strange family, Leanna learns that there is more than magic to this circus, but an ancient curse that has tied Finvarra's life to its rings. If the circus fails, he dies. Leanna vows to save the circus, but when a ruthless enemy emerges, set on destroying it and Finvarra, will Leanna be able to save them both, or will her broken heart fail her just when she needs it most?"

That's all I'm going to give away, as it's not my story to tell! Just know that there is magic, and love, and heartache...and did I mention magic? Really, I can't get enough of this story!!!

An other book I am in love with right now, is Finding Love in a Coffee Shop. It is by XxSkater2Girl16xX, and is pretty great. It's so darned cute at times, while at the same time being filled with suspense!

Here is the author synopsis: "Katie Holmes is a caffiene addict. Between college, and taking care of her brother, it's acceptable. Though, it doesn't help that the cafe down the street is full of handsome baristas, including one William Cerak in particular who has a mysterious scar on his wrist."

And lastly, Autumn Storm, the sequal to Dark Summer. I love the Witchling trilogy...it's brilliant!!! Honestly, it's my fave paranormal YA on Wattpad- ever.


Here is the author's synopsis: "A girl with no memory, hidden in plain sight. A boy with no hope, freefalling into Darkness.

Autumn doesn’t know why she remembers a boarding school she’s never visited, or why her reflection isn’t always … hers. There’s another girl in the mirror, a dark-haired ghost that emerges one night to guide her to a cliff near the school. Only Autumn can’t remember what happened there and why it’s so important. Beck’s gentle touch soothes her distress while Decker’s every look sets her body on fire. Caught between the twins, she struggles to understand her instincts and magick while working through the pain caused by a mysterious car accident that left her disabled, barely able to walk.

Unable to recover from Summer’s death, Decker slowly surrenders to the Dark. He can’t live with the pain, and those around him keep Autumn’s secret too well. The guilt he feels when he falls for her – and betrays Summer’s memory – drives him farther from the Light, until he loses control and begins taking the souls of Light witchlings. As the protector of Light, Beck must choose between confronting his twin and watching more witchlings suffer. Decker realizes Beck has come between more than him and the witchlings. With neither of them willing to let Autumn go, they turn on each other.

Only one of them knows the truth. Only one of them will walk away, unless Autumn can find a way to save them both."


One choice. One soul. One price."

"A girl with a broken past and a dark secret. A boy with a twisted future and no second chances. When they meet, it just might cost them their souls.

Sixteen-year-old Summer doesn’t expect the new boarding school to be any different than the rest: a temporary stay where everyone will turn against her after a few weeks. Until she meets the rest of the students at this special school and realizes she’s not the only one with magic in her blood. Accustomed to the concrete jungle of LA, she gets lost one night in the forests of the Rocky Mountains and meets Decker, the boy who will become the Master of Night and Fire on his eighteenth birthday. Their connection is instant and dangerous, for both will be forced to choose between Light and Dark, life and death, love – and their souls." This is for Dark Summer

That's it for now, though I'm reading many more books on Wattpad, which you should really check out. Also, I've posted some new works too!

"People let me tell you 'bout my best friend"

Look at this face- look at itttt!!  This is Deborah, my best bud. She supports me in whatever I do, just like all of my friends do, and I love her so much. We're writing a story together called Pins and Needles, but of course I've had writers block and haven't been able to write the next chapter for a while, so we only have about seven and a half chapters. But writing is a struggle!!! I've just finished writing the next chapter and I'm really happy with it. I'm going to make a page dedicated to Pins and Needles on here, and it'll have pictures and stuff- It'll be nice.

 

But seriously, LOOK AT THAT FACE!!! She's gorgeoussss :)

Read our book? Pretty please? Hit me up on Wattpad and you'll see it there :)

Just some stuff before I post a couple reviews

1) Holy wow....I just read Finale by Becca Fitzpatrick and died- in a good way. I mean gfhjrfbhrgfrberkgerugerugbr!!! It was a rollercoaster of awesomesauce, really and truly. Patch and Nora's story is finished, and I am happy that Becca shared it with the world. I shall elaborate more in my review...

2) I've just read a great story on Wattpad by an author who goes under the username: The_Starzee, and I have to say it's up there with my faves. Awesome writer. The story I read is called Forces of Nature, and I really think people need to read it and give The_Starzee some love.

3) So, there is absolutely nobody following this blog , unless you count myself. Which I don't. So, please people, help me out! Comment and tell me what you think.

4) Word count for my book Dark One is 23,516 so far. I've been writing it for the better part of three years, and am still not done. I started it in October 2010, durring class when I was supposed to be writing an essay. Pretty cool huh? I'm biased so yes, I think so ;)

Tonsilitis

I recently had a bout of tonsil problems- and I think they're back again (the problems).

I feel like I've swallowed a whole hive of bees -.-

ANYWAY, this has got me thinking about hospitals, which makes me think of boredom, which makes me think of books. Any good book suggestions to read if I need to go to the hospital?

Stories that deserve recognition

I'm on this site called Wattpad where I post all of my stories (unedited). On Wattpad, there are sooo many people that have amazing books that people need to know about. Here are a few people who have really gained my respect in the last year:

Like you mean it- by trishthewriter

Never have I ever- by farawayfromnowhere

Dark Summer- by LizzyFord (she also has books on Amazon)

Actions speak louder than words- by wintersgirl

and anything written by ColmPatrick, DistantDreamer, TheOrangutan, and mebby88

So, check them out for some pretty great stories.

First post

So, I'm finally on the blogging train. I feel so author-y. Yes, I know that's not a word. Shut up...this is my blog. *Sticks tongue out*

Okay, so what is this first post about you ask? Or maybe you didn't- maybe I'm like, the only person reading my own posts...oh well...continuing on!

This first post is about my family. I have a very strange family, let me tell you, and we have some pretty exciting adventures. One time, my cousin Rebecca and I were really bored, so we decided to stuff my cat Stella into a pair of my leggings, creating a sausage cat. We laughed and took pictures, but for the dignity of Stella I shall not post them, for dignity is all a cat at the age of 15 has.

I love my family with all of my heart, no matter what. They are always there for me, so this post is dedicated to them. Now- here's a couple more funny stories about my family.

I was six or seven, old enough to know that when you're in the movie theatre, you shut the heck up and listen. But this time was different. My mother and aunty Carol were bawling their eyes out throughout the whole movie (My dog Skip) and I just had no clue what the heck they were crying about. So I asked them until they told me it was because it was a sad movie, and to please shut the heck up.

I did.

At the end of the movie, we skipped happily out of the theatre, arm in arm the three of us, until- Bang! I smacked into a huge poll in the middle of the doorframe, since I was in the middle, and I promptly began to cry. Now, my mother is a sarcastic woman, but she loves me, so she asked, "Why are you crying?!?"

Her and my aunt tried to hold in their laughs as best as they could, but it was pretty funny. I think so now too- but not then!

Another time, my dad and I were in the hospital's emergency room, as I was very sick. I was laying my head on his shoulder, just sitting quietly, when all we heard was this loud moan. We turned our heads to see where it was coming from, and saw an old man being pushed in a weelchair. Now, I know what you're thinking- who laughs at an old man? If you'd heard the sound he was making, you'd laugh too! He made that sound as he was pushed from one side of the waitingroom to the other, not stopping to take a breath or anything. It was something out of a comedy movie, I swear.

I had to fake a caughing fit because I was laughing so hard, and my dad was holding my face into his sweater to help muffle the laughs. As soon as they dissappeared from sight, I burst out into a fit of giggles, and my father was smiling with me. The rest of the people in the waitingroom hadn't even been paying attention and thought I was nuts.

So there it is. I'll post more about my family when I feel like it, but for now I'm done!
