Life has been really great. I love my job, and it feels so good to work hard! I just really hope I'll be able to get enough money for shcool next semester.
And writing has really made me happy lately. as you know, I love love love books. I am addicted to them, to get lost in the pages of a different story. I am passionate about them. And so to be able to create my own story, it has brought me even more joy! I love writing, it makes me happy. And when I write something good, that other people enjoy, my happiness stretches even farther!
this weekend, I read out loud one of my stories to kynsie. Kynsie started bawling. I couldn't describe how it felt, that I touched someone. That my message and story got to someone else rather than just me. It brought tears to my eyes.

I am suddenly reminded of part of a song by They Might Be Giants. It's called Whistling in the Dark:

There's only one thing that I know how to do well

And I've often been told that you only can do

What you know how to do well

And that's be you,

Be what you're like,

Be like yourself

...

and so be yourself, and do what makes you happy :)

My New Buddy

I've been spending a lot of time with a special boy. My buddy Weston. Every morning, it's me and him, and so we have fun together. He is a really funny boy and always makes me laugh. Like today when I was walking him to school, we saw a helicopter, and he said, "Wow! it's so high up!"
I responded, "Yeah. Would you like to fly in a one someday?"
He promptly answered, "No. I just want to be Link."

hahaha! oh, he is great. We had some great fun in my room this morning, with the cows. Here's some pictures.

By the way, today is the coolest day ever! It's 9/9/09!!!! wow! I posted on 9/9/09! Awesome!

Good Things In September

So September is starting out to be awesome!! great things have come, and it has made me so happy! first, the highly anticipated second book of Hunger Games came out! It is called Catching Fire!! and it is AMAZING! it's even better then the first! it went far and beyond my expectations. I could not put it down until I read it twice. This series is my most favorite of all times. Suzanne Collilns is an amazing writer, she really brings you into a different world. When I was reading her books, I would get so mad if I ever had to stop reading to do something like eat or talk to someone or go to the bathroom. I just wanted to be in the world of Panem.







And another good thing, Samurai Jack!! I just started watching this show, and I instantly fell in love with it! I don't know why I never watched it before! so I ordered the first two seasons, and they came speedily! it made me so happy! I love the art, the music, the story, and of course, Jack himself. it is a great cartoon for anyone.

A New Life

So, on saturday there was a reception we had to go to. Krystal and Kynsie slept over my house, and so I thought, "hey, my cousins that live right down the street can do our hair and makeup! because they are amazing at doing that!"

and we weren't disapointed. Leilani and Becky outdone themselves. We felt like princesses!

We had to take some picture to celebebrate and remember this momentous occasion. :)

oh, and the reception was good.
