Okay, so this posting everyday for a month idea hasn't worked out quite as I had planned...ah, well, I did post alot this month, didn't I? :P
Random facts, as this must be a hurried post and I really don't want to think up a better post:
--I need nail polish remover...I want to re-paint my nails but can't with my previous polish still on my fingers. Darn bottle, where are you hiding??
--I don't like Miley Cyrus. She's out to try to rule the world. Yeah. Girl with an ego who cannot sing...don't get me started on Hannah Montana. :P
--The Jonas Brothers are just as bad, if not worse, than Hannah Montana.
--What happened to good-acting, clean-living teen actors? Wait...have there ever been any? Hm.
--I LOVE playing "Nuvole Bianche" on the piano.
--I am craving pineapples. Yup.
--My room is a disaster area. Yikes. Maybe if I don't think about it, it'll magically disappear! Yeeeeeeeeah.
--I hate toy accordions and toy recorders. Yup.

Does music ever make you cry? Maybe it's just something strange on my end...but it's music that touches me more than anything else. It makes me cry when nothing else can. And it's not just the sad, blue kind of music...it's the beautiful kind. It's a debate with some people as to which is the best instrument...but there has never been any question with me...it will always be the piano for me. And some people will also debate that classical music is dull and cannot compare with their favorite rock band. But it's classical music that can be the most beautiful. It certainly is more detailed than anything composed today...and yet, so simple sounding. What happened to making a song detailed and beautiful? Why can't more people just stop to listen to the beautiful music? They sure don't know what they're missing.
NaBloPoMo Post #22.
I stole this idea from another blog...
I dare you to write a description of yourself. A description like you'd describe a character in a book. Put them in the comments, and let's see what we get!
She was really twenty. Really. Her face, however, told a different story. It was young-looking with a crooked cat-like smile and small eyes set behind a pair of thin-rimmed glasses. No, she didn't look a day over sixteen...some days not even fourteen or fifteen. It was a curse. And a blessing.
Her hair, that was always mistaken for black instead of the brown it was, looped, curled, and bounced just above her shoulders. Instead of letting it hang naturally, however, she straightened it in attempt to keep it tamed. Her bangs naturally fell in her eyes, so that she was constantly lifting a hand to brush them out.
She wore faded jeans and a purple, blue, and white striped polo...her favorite comfy outfit. She didn't have a natural sense of fashion...she preferred comfort above all else, but she envied her friends who did have that said natural fashion sense. Her feet were bare as she hated the feeling of shoes. There was chipped blue nail polish on both her toes and fingers...a sign that she was too busy (or too lazy) to take care of them properly. The only sign of jewelery about her was the claddagh ring, worn on the right hand with the crown facing in...broadcasting to the world that she was single...and the purple wrist-watch that rarely left her wrist.
She had a way of smiling over any random thought that popped into her head, when she thought no one was looking. Her eyes squinted up, making them even smaller when she smiled, which was often, as she loved to laugh.
She wouldn't be called the bubbly type, though she sometimes could be mistaken for it if you didn't see her in person. Her voice was low and her tone rather sarcastic. She had a "depressed voice". She sighed often, but not for any particular reason. She had the unmistakable Northern accent, growling out her "R's" instead of drawling them.
She was a bit similar to how many Northerners are portrayed: withdrawn. But those closest to her, knew her for who she really was...a talker...outgoing, a jokester...someone who loved to laugh, someone who loved to be herself...who didn't mind being different from other girls...who didn't fight being different, but instead, embraced it.

One night's good sleep is all I want...just ONE good night's sleep would be the most wonderful thing in the world! *sigh* Lately, it just seems like all my stress comes to mind as soon as I crawl into bed. And as hard as I try to push those thoughts away and think about something...not matter how much I try to pray, I get so tired and they just slip in anyways. Ugh. I'm so tired.
I read "Cool Beans" this week...it was very similar to "Miss Match"...not as funny...kinda had the same jokes, so it wasn't something HUGELY new. But I enjoyed it. Enough that I look forward to the sequel, which comes out this July. :)
"The Young Victoria" comes out Tuesday! Yay! I pre-ordered it, so hopefully I'll get it by the end of next week. I can't wait to see it again. :)
The 100 photos a day project is going well. I've been getting over 100 photos per day. It's not so hard...you just take a lot of photos of the same thing. ;) Just do it from different angles. That way, afterward, you can go through them and learn which angles are really best and what kind of photos to avoid. So I've learned a couple things.
Still tired. *yawn* I need a nap.

Priscilla Lane...definitely one of my favorite old-time actresses! Not only is she puh-reeeeeeeeeetty but talented too. :D My favorite movie with her would have to be "Arsenic and Old Lace". She's not the main character but she plays a fab. gal besides Cary Grant!
She was great with Robert Cummings in "Saboteur" as well!
And she's certainly my favorite of the daughters in "Four Daughters" and "Four Wives"!

Randomity:
It's April 12th...the Titanic was at sea 3 days. Belle and Dym are really on my mind right now. ;)
I have procrastinated much too long now...I NEED TO MAIL MY ASSIGNMENT THIS WEEK. Part of me doesn't want to mail it...I don't want to be done! :(
I have to take 100 more photos today...I'm planning on bringing my camera to work.
My brother and I watched "Return of the King" last night, extended version. Rather, I should say, we finished it, cuz we had started it a while ago, but never had a chance until last night to finish it. I forgot how much I really like that movie! Aragorn's speech before the last battle, Eowyn's "I am no man!" line, Sam's "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you." (SAM IS MY HERO!!!!!!!!! :P)...great movie. Me likey very much.
I'm all set to publish my book once it's done being edited. The book cover is set...and I like how it turned out! :)
Looking at my last assignment and seeing my instructor's words "Wow! To Market!" encourages me! :D
I am listening to "Bad Day". Yeup.

Party day.
Babysitting.
Cleaning.
Laundry.
Vacuuming.
Tidying.
Washing.
Preparing.
Hair brushing.
Photography.
It's the first day of my project to take 100 photos per day...how many photos am I so far? 5. Yay me! :P But I'm determined to get 100 today. In spite of all other busy-ness to get the house and kids ready for a party! I mean, hey, look, I'm blogging, aren't I? :P I won't be posting all 100 photos on my photography blog, but I will post the better ones. Hopefully it's still a lot.
How do I survive taking 100 photos, babysitting 6 kids, AND making sure the house gets clean? It takes toast with butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar...AND the "Switched" soundtrack. Oh, yes, and plenty of water. Mustn't forget to keep drinking...no need to keel over or anything, right? Of course right!
Ludovico Einaudi is my hero. I do not know how I would survive without his music to relax and de-stress me. *hearts*

NaBloPoMo Post #9.
I found this writer's quiz on a random blog I found...thought I'd give it a try.
Do you have a pen/pencil collection? How many of those are chewed?
I do have a ton of pens in my pen case on my desk, but most of them are dead...only a few are chewed. I used to chew on pencils all the time, but I rarely use pencils nowadays.
Do you prefer handwriting or typing?
I like both, but typing definitely goes alot faster.
How often do you get inspiration?
Um, often enough. I can find inspiration in a lot of places...
Do you get inspiration more in the early morning or late at night?
Definitely at night!
Do certain movies/books/music inspire you?
Oh, definitely!!
How do you incorporate God into your stories?
It kinda depends on the story...He can be very centered in my characters' lives...
Do you kill off your villains or make them repent?
DIE! DIE! DIE! *cough*
Are the majority of your characters magical beings, humans, halflings, or something else?
Humans. I've found "fantasy" is harder than most people think...
What genre of writing are you most comfortable in? If you were to step out of your comfort zone, what would you write?
Mysteries...definitely mysteries...perhaps a mystery set in a historical time/place...as for stepping out of my comfort zone...eh, that'd probably be like sci-fi. I wouldn't know WHAT to write. lol.
Do you work better alone or with someone else?
I haven't written much with other people, but I do work better alone...but I like either way.
Are your characters mostly Renegades, Peacekeepers or a mish-mash?
Mostly mish-mash.
Are you a sucker for good grammar?
I CAN be picky, but not usually when I'm writing...too busy writing stuff as quickly as I can to bother with good grammar. ;)
How is your handwriting?
Depends on the day...somtimes it's big and slanted, sometimes it's small and round, or it's both. lol. It's usually a mix of italic and print.
How evil are your villains?
Some can be pretty evil...murder, witchcraft, ruthless...yup yup.
Are you long-winded or succinct?
Um, I can be both...I guess? lol.
Do you have typical writer traits such as ink stains on your fingers or a pencil behind your ear?
Um...dark circles under my eyes, sometimes ink stains...a blister on my fourth finger from where the pen rubs against it...it always comes back when I write.
Would someone walking past you on the street consider you normal?
I guess...it's not like I get alot of people staring at me when I walk down the street. ;)
Do you write mostly poetry, stories, novels or a mixture?
Stories and novels mostly, though I've tried my hand at poetry.
Do your characters vary in accents, appearance and attitude or are they mostly the same?
I can see some similarities in like personalities...even if they aren't completely the same, I think they've all got a bit of the Sam flavor. ;) I admit it...I'm a sucker for the tall, dark, and handsome hero who has a quick temper and sense of humor! :P
Do real people and/or places inspire your writing?
Absolutely!
What is your favorite character? Or do you choose to remain unbiased in case of a revolt?
Mark Ingleford...no question about it. He is THE BEST. So great that I'M in love with him. ;)
Do you talk to your characters? Do they talk back?
Of course...all the time. Mostly in my head, but I have talked to them out loud before (when no one else is around. lol.) They talk back by however they're written in my book.
Are you more comfortable with female or male main characters?
I've felt comfortable doing both...tho I do tend to go for girls most of the time.
Do you follow basic plot lines with new twists thrown in or do you depart from the norm all the time?
Well, with my mysteries, I like to feel like an old time mystery...and yet, I like to throw in twists that people don't expect...I don't always accomplish that, but I like to try.
Do you feel God has called you to be a writer/poet? Will you grasp the power of the pen?
Absolutely!
Do you have a pen/pencil collection? How many of those are chewed?
I do have a ton of pens in my pen case on my desk, but most of them are dead...only a few are chewed. I used to chew on pencils all the time, but I rarely use pencils nowadays.

Still sick here. Total funness. Yeah. Okay. So it stinks.
To get onto more interesting things...
What am I drinking? Well, peeps, it's not as great as coffee, not nearly as sugary-yummy as a milk shake or hot chocolate, but it's hot, it's soothing, it's got a bit of caffeine that gives me just enough boost to go about my day but not enough to make me hyper...it's.....noooooo, not mountain dew...it's:
Yeup. Lipton tea. My breakfast angel. Drink it with toast, drink it with cereal...heck, I drink it whenever. Try it. Not the BEST tea out there, but it's good. :D Especially if you drink it out of this mug:
Oh. Don't have this mug? Then you'll just have to use some ordinary mug. *sighs* :P
Moving on...
What am I listening to? Aha! Take a look!
Now, I'm not your raving, crazy Poirot fan...I mean, often as not, he can drive me a bit bonkers, he's got such an ego! But! The mysteries are what capture my attention! Narrated fabulously by David Suchet, I could listen to these for a couple hours straight. (Oh, wait. I have. Heh.)
Yup. Okay. Another rambling post full of nothing. See you tomorrow!

NaBloPoMo Post #1.
Here it is. The first post of this month's NaBloPoMo challenge. Let's start shall we?
First off...I'm sick. Way to start a new month, eh? Especially when it's spring. Hmph. Sore throats are pure torture, just so you know...don't get one, got it? 'K, good.
So. In other news...right now I'm reading a fabulously fun book!
Georgette Heyer's known for her romance books, but what I mostly love her for are her mysteries! So much fun, filled with humor, adventure, and...what else? Mystery! Squee! :D Oh, yes, and some of them do have a bit of romance, so you get the whole package! This one is particularly interesting! Peter, Margaret, and Celia inherited a house from their uncle after his death, and they fall in love with it at once. They move in for a vacation, along with Celia's husband, Charles, and their aunt. Word in the village, however, is that the house is haunted and all too soon, the small group begins to hear the most horrifying noises in the night! Screams, footsteps, knocks...but it only gets worse when they actually spot the supposed ghost: The Monk!
Is it really a ghost? If not, who is trying to get them to leave?? I'm kept guessing to find out who it is! :D
And what is it that I'm watching? Well...check it out:
Big fan of Robin Hood here! And I can never quite make up my mind as to whether I prefer the 2nd or 1st season of the series done by BBC. Both are equally exciting, funny, adventurous, and entertaining! My favorite episode in all, however, would have to be Episode 7 from season 2...(no spoilers, sorry. You wanna know which one it is, you'll have to watch it for yourself!)
In season 2, Sir Guy, still angry at Marian for "jilting" him at the altar, is taking his revenge on her by having her and her father placed under arrest in the castle. Marian struggles with being watched so closely, while trying still to help Robin as much as she can. Robin is kept on the run with the Sheriff constantly on his heels with all his evil plots. In spite of the many near-death experiences (yeah, okay, I didn't say this show was REALISTIC! :P), Robin and his merry band still work together to stop the Sheriff and his schemes to take over England and eventually kill King Richard. This season is filled with: adventure! humor! romance! action! What more could you want?? Oh, a cute hero and beautiful heroine are definitely a big plus! ;)
Enough rambling for one post...if you've suffered through this post, kudos to you!
First off...I'm sick. Way to start a new month, eh? Especially when it's spring. Hmph. Sore throats are pure torture, just so you know...don't get one, got it? 'K, good.
So. In other news...right now I'm reading a fabulously fun book!
Georgette Heyer's known for her romance books, but what I mostly love her for are her mysteries! So much fun, filled with humor, adventure, and...what else? Mystery! Squee! :D Oh, yes, and some of them do have a bit of romance, so you get the whole package! This one is particularly interesting!
