Day #15 of a Meme
Day 15 → A fanfic
I'm not a fan of fanfic. Hahaha. Sorry. Anyways, yeah, not a fan. I don't know, it's just...fanfics are trying to get the same feeling as the book and it drives me crazy because they never do. They don't have the FLAVOR of the original story and it's just WRONG to try to write someone else's story. It's a cheater's way of writing...take someone else's characters and don't come up with your own. ;) lol. Okay, okay, I'll admit it! I gave fanfiction a shot one time...I tried writing an Albert Campion fanfiction. Never finished it. :D It was just way too hard to write him and try to capture the Albert Campion of the movie series!
So, nope, no fanfic for me, thankyouverymuch! :)

Day #14 of a Meme
Day 14 → A non-fictional book
Yet another children's book...but I love this book to pieces! I've always been interested in Anastasia and the Romanov family. It's always fascinated me! This book is fascinating...not because it's a history book about the family...at least not in word-form. It is a history of sorts, but in photographs instead of the written word. It has photos of the Romanov family that I had never seen before...it gives you a glimpse into their lives, from when Anastasia was little to when she was a young woman. I highly recommend it! ;)

Day #13 of a Meme.
Day 13 → A fictional book
Okay, so I'm this ENORMOUS children's books fan. No, really, I am! I love picture books! Some picture books are better than chapter books! And "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy" is NO exception!
Mo Willems is a genius, let me just put it that way. ;) He has this fabulous sense of humor that's great for kids! His stories are WONDERFUL for reading out loud...I should know! I've read "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy" to my little sisters more times than I can count, seriously. Mo Willems has also written the Pig & Elephant books and the KnuffleBunny books (both are also fab, especically the KnuffleBunny books! Go read em!) But the Pigeon books will always have a special place in my heart...they were my first Mo Willems books, and "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy" is my favorite. *heart*
Now, in the story, the Pigeon wants a puppy. Moooooooooooore than anything!! He begs, he pleads, he makes deals, he PROOOOOOOMISES to give the puppy water and sunshine EVEEEEEERY day! Then! He gets his wish! And things aren't quite what he imagined! It's cute, it's funny, the illustrations are so simple yet they capture the story so perfectly! The emotions of the Pigeon are fab...especially to read out loud. It's hilarious, to say the least.
So, yeah, BIG Pigeon fan here! Go read em!! :D

Day 12 → Whatever tickles your fancy
It is a rainy day and very humid. I mean extremely humid. Ugh. Believe me, my hair hates me. lol.
Okay, so today I plan to:
Clean my room
Write a couple letters
Upload photos to my blog
Go to work
Journal
Start putting together a playlist of music for NaNo
Start putting together a list of quotes for NaNo
Random thoughts:
I do not like the rain. I always feel slightly depressed when it rains, because it brings back memories from horrible times.
I love my new photography t-shirt!
I'm loving re-reading I Corinthians!
God has shown me just how amazing He is in the past few days.
I have some pretty terrific friends.
My boss and co-worker always make me laugh, even when I'm most down in the dumps! Every time. I swear!

Day #5 of a Meme.
Day 05 → Your favourite quote
So many favorite quotes! I quote myself and my friends conversations a lot. If that just shows how much of an ego I have. *sheepish* No, but seriously, we have some pretty hysterical conversations...conversations that sometimes don't make ANY sense to anyone BUT ourselves! I keep threatening to make book of all our chat conversations. I'm positive it'd make for a very entertaining read, if not for anyone but ourselves. ;)
Like:
Amy: So anyways, Robin Hood is on his way to you!
Sam: for REAL???
Amy: For REAL!
Sam: SQUEE! Is he single??
Amy: He's in a nice little box, and yes he's single.
Sam: YAAAAY!
But I also like real quotes from...dead people. ;) Like
"We are all worms, but I intend to be a glow-worm." ~ Winston Churchill.
That's definitely one of my most favorite quotes ever. :)

Day #4 of a Meme
Day 04 → Your favourite book
Yet another unfair question...let's see, what's my favorite book at the MOMENT. Hm...
I'm going to have to say "Nightbirds on Nantucket" at the moment. I'm not saying it's my favorite book ever...there are a TON of books I like better than it at the moment...but I was flipping through it yesterday afternoon and just remembering why I love that book so much! Yes, it's where I got the name for my blog...it's a quirky, funny story that is so unrealistic, it's believable. lol. It's part of a series, but it was the first book from the series that I had read, and when I had first read it, I didn't realize it was a series. So I *guess* you could say it stands on it's own...I had no trouble reading it, assuming it was a stand-alone. But, I mean, if you want to find out how and why Dido Twite was found in the ocean, then you'll have to read the previous books. :) Anywho, Dido Twite is a young girl who is found floating in the ocean, by a whaling ship. She is in a deep sleep and sleeps on for a looong time (so, yeah, can't remember how it was :P). When she does wake up, the Captain requests her help with his daughter. After her mother died, she locked herself inside his cabin and refused to come out. Dido's task is to befriend the shy Pen. While befriending her, Dido stumbles on a stowaway and a mystery that surrounds the first mate. The mystery follows them back to Nantucket, where things just go from bad to worse. Anywho, just read it. :D It's funny, it's quirky, it's charming. :) And! It has a pink whale. Lol. This is a horrid book review, but it's all I could come up with in two minutes!! So, yes, it's a children's book that I completely love to pieces. Literally. My first paperback copy is starting to shred. :P

Day #3 of a Meme.
Day 03 → Your favourite television program
My favorite? Hm. Well, I love my mystery shows. :D Psych, NCIS, Burn Notice, White Collar, Lie to Me, The Mentalist...as to my favorite? Oh, gosh. That's hard. I love the first couple seasons of Psych, but sadly, the last couple have been "eeeh". It's getting kinda old. White Collar though...ohGOSH! Talk about CLIFF-hanger! Sheesh. I'm really looking forward to when it picks up again! :D It's got the humor, it's got the wicked cute "hero", a plot that has kept me really interested (I have my own theories about it all *wink*)...um, I really like "The Mentalist"...great humor with the underlining mystery that has me reaaaally wanting more. I'm so hoping it doesn't end badly, because I really really liked the first season! :P Um, NCIS...I guess I'd have to say at the moment NCIS is my favorite show...oh, wait! No! Second favorite. :D At the moment. lol. It's so interesting to watch, I LOVE the characters...my personal favorite? Abby, the goth lab chick. Yup. :D She's made of awesome! And Gibbs! And Ziva! And McGee! And Tony! And Ducky! They're all great. :D
And my favorite tv show at the moment?? Dr. Who!!!!!!!!!! At least, the 3 seasons with David Tennant. BEST doctor EVER. But then, I haven't seen the new doctor yet. But I'm REALLY itching for season 5! :D

Day #2 of a Meme
Day 02 → Your favourite movie
Again, another hard question...I have so many favorites I don't think I COULD pick one. Hmm...I REALLY like "Saints & Soldiers" (*cries eyes out*) and the new BBC "Emma" *grin*.
I'm a sucker for WWII movies...seriously. (And it appears I have a "thing" for medics too! *wink*) I love em! I really do! They fascinate me! They're the movies that actually make me bawl my eyes out (I'm not a movie-bawling person...I'm not even really a movie-crying person!). "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers", "Flags of Our Fathers", "Life is Beautiful", "Saints & Soldiers"...and soon, I shall be watching "Letters from Iwo Jima" for the first time. :D
Now, about "Emma"...well, "Emma" is my favorite Jane Austen! I wouldn't say favorite book...because I don't think it's my favorite book. When it comes to the books I love "Sense & Sensibility", "Persuasion", AND "Emma" all too much to choose between those three. Movie-wise, I definitely like "Emma" the best. But, of course, like any other story that's been made soooooooo many times into a movie, they haven't QUITE gotten it perfect. Now, if they had Jeremy Northam in the latest version, it'd be perfect. Yes, yes, I know he'd be too old, but still....Jeremy Northam's version of Mr. Knightley was SOOOO much better than Mark Strong's OR Jonny Lee Miller's. Jonny Lee Miller wasn't that bad, just lacking in the most important scenes. Like the scolding scene for example. *sigh* Ah, well. Romola Garai makes up for it. ;)
So yes, WWII movies and "Emma" are my favorites right now. :D

Day 01 → Your favourite song
Okay, this really isn't a fair question, because I LOVE so many songs! But I guess it's safe to say that "Tennessee" by Hans Zimmer (from the "Pearl Harbor" soundtrack) is a good answer, because I listen to it every time I'm upset, I listen to it when I'm happy, I listen to it ALLLLLLL the time. Over and over and over...literally. And I never get tired of it. It's such a beautiful piece. *sigh* Go listen to it!!!

3 Wishes
3 wishes...
Travel - New faces, new people, a fresh start
Tears - No shame, no guilt, no fear
Peace - Love of life, no stress, freedom
Sometimes, I sit with my red and gold journal on my lap, feeling wishes. Now, it's kind of a routine to write down three wishes. Unrealistic wishes, hard wishes, full-of-dreams wishes, happy wishes, sad wishes, prayerful wishes...yet, that's all they are. Wishes. Here, there, everywhere, and at the same time, nothing...popped easily.
Is it wrong to make wishes and dreams and think them over. I suppose it could be...if I obsessed about them. Maybe sometimes I do.
But it must be even worse to never make any wishes. Because, that would mean I've given up.
So tonight I'll have 3 wishes like always.

Meme: Day #30...Last Day!!
Day 30 – One last moment
Here we are!! The last day! What am I ever gonna post on my blog after this? ;) Another meme? Haha, you'll all think I'm so full of myself...if you don't already. :P
Okay, one last moment...I'm much too tired to think of a better moment, so I'll just stick with this one:
Staying up until quarter of one at night, being taught how to play Poker (and losing MOST of your pile of pennies) by your best friend. Laughing and poking each other, trying on a poker face, accidentally going "Dang!" when you have a bad hand, thus allowing your bestie to know that he should raise the stakes. Haha. Exchanging weird grins and sad puppy eyes whenever you're doing well or badly. Pandora playing Michael Buble and Hayley Westenra in the background. Making fun of each other and joking around. Silly funness....good times. :)

Day 27 – Your favourite place
Favorite place...hmm...
Well, I am seriously in love with my bed right now. :P So much so, I wish I could spend all day in bed. *yawn*
Okay...well, I love New Hampshire and the gorgeous mountains! I love Concord...I love the historical buildings and just the old-fashionedness that's in the air there. I love Boston and it's gorgeousness! I love my room (but I'd love it more if it had a door with a lock...:P), I love the library where I work (most of the time *wink*)...I can't really think of one, specific place that's my favorite...but I do have lots of places that I love. :)
Favorite place...hmm...
Well, I am seriously in love with my bed right now. :P So much so, I wish I could spend all day in bed. *yawn*
Okay...well, I love New Hampshire and the gorgeous mountains! I love Concord...I love the historical buildings and just the old-fashionedness that's in the air there.

Day 26 – Your fears
Fears? Me? HA! I have no fears!
*crickets chirping*
Okay, majorly untrue. :P I have a fear of trusting people...that sounds weird when I write it out. It's just that I do not trust people very easily, and at times, am afraid to confide in people.
I have a fear of driving. *sigh* There. My stupidest fear. I just can't like driving that much. :/ I freak myself out. If that tells you how well my driving skills are!
I have no idea if I have any phobias...for all I know, I could be claustrophobic...nah, I know I'm not from hiding in closets and under beds. ;)
I'm not really scared of spiders...nah, I can't say I'm scared of them at all. Sure I'd shudder and freak if I found a Black Widow crawling on me, but I'm not exactly the screaming type. ;) But I do hate spiders...naaaaaaaaasty things. I'm not afraid to touch them though...and I have no qualms about squashing them. :P
I used to have a fear of answering the phone. (Don't mock! :P)
So yup...I think that cover's fear.
Oh, wait...wait! I know what my greatest beyond alllll great fears is.
A coffee-less world.
*shudder*
Can you IMAGINE that? I don't even WANT to! Horrible thought!

Day 25 – A first
A first...hm...which first though? lol. My first piano lesson? My first time driving? My first time knitting? My first time writing? My first time using Booth? My first time reading? There are too many firsts to choose from!
How about my first time driving? Should be amusing enough. I was...17? My sister drove me out to Walmart one summer night, so that I could practice in the nearly empty back parking lot. We switched seats, and she made sure I knew where everything was.
"Okay, go ahead." she said.
I stepped on the gas. Whoa. It REALLY makes you go if you REALLY step on it. Whoops.
I step on the brake and immediately lift my foot back up.
"Keep your foot on the brake!!!"
Whoops!
Finally I got more and more the hang of actually driving and braking...I won't say smoothly, because it was waaaaaay off from being anywhere near smooth. :P
After a bit, Krista had me drive down towards the front of the lot, where cars were still parked and people were walking in and out of WallyWorld. I went up and down the lot, only nearly hit one guy. And enduring the smiles from a Walmart employee who was taking a break outside, watching me...she obviously could tell I was new at it. :P I only nearly hit a few cars, and ran over one curb.
All in all, I think I did alright. lol. Okay, so I stank, but it WAS my first time ever behind the wheel. :P

Day 24 – Something that makes you cry
Someone being angry at me. :P WWII movies where the best character dies (why do nearly all the best characters die in WWII movies?? *sigh*). And music. :) Hans Zimmer's "Tennessee" can make me cry, Thomas Newman's "The Letter That Never Came" can, Ludovico Einaudi's "Nuvole Bianche" can, tracks from the "Saints & Soldiers" soundtrack can...all good pieces, by the way! :P Being depressed can make me cry! :D Extreme pain can make me cry! And, hey, I'm a gal...sometimes I just cry cuz I want to. :P But. I refuuuuuuse to cry in FRONT of people. :P

Day 23 – Something that makes you feel better
Usually something very simple, like getting an "I love ya!" text from one of my best friends, or a letter in the mail, or a friend posting a hug to me on my Facebook wall...now, if I'm really upset, then a phone call from a bestie really perks me up. :) Especially if that bestie knows just what to say to make me feel better...(Hint: makin me laugh is always a big plus. *wink*). And if I can't get a phone call, then writing or doing some photography or playing the piano....there are different things that make me feel better. :)

Day 22 – Something that upsets you
Anger. It freaks me out. It makes me want to curl up into a ball and disappear. It makes me cry. Can't stand it...plaaaaain and simple. And it's worse when it's directed at me. So...yup, don't get angry at me. :P

Day 21 – Another moment
Another one? Hm...well, not much of a moment, but...
It was my second year of participating in NaNoWriMo, and it was Thanksgiving day. I had finished helping clean up the house in preparation for Thanksgiving dinner with the fam. I was curled up on the recliner in the corner, notebook on lap, and pen in hand, scribbling away as quickly as I could. I finally figured out exactly what I wanted to write, and then I was done. I counted my words to make sure, and yup. I had did it. I had written 50,000 words in less than a month's time. You'd better believe I jumped up and down, squealing...then rushed off to make sure my entire family found out. Maybe you've never participated in NaNoWriMo...if not, then you can't understand how THRILLING it is to win for the first time. :D It's amazingly good fun. :D And I was so impressed with myself...that I actually was able to do it! 50,000 words in one month always seemed impossible to me before. Heh. Now it sounds easy. *sheepish* And this year it's going to be 150,000 words for me. :D

Day 20 – This month
Actually, it's a new month! Hopefully a better month! :) I love new beginnings...they're like a brand new notebook, and we allllllll know how much I LOOOOOVE brand, new notebooks. :D
This month will hold (I hope):
My birthday party...yes, I'm celebrating early this year, as Columbus Day worked out better for my friends than Veteran's Day...and what's a party without my friends??!
Planning for NANOWRIMO!!! Only 30 more daaaaaaaaaaaaays! (Not counting today, of course!)
Keeping up with my journal. I've been writing in it pretty steadily for the past month, and I want to keep that up. I really should say I've been updating it pretty steadily, because for the last week or so, it's been hard to write. Words haven't been coming at all, which is way abnormal for me.
Hopefully learn to control my emotions. Way too emotional and angry and upset lately. Gah.
My parent's anniversary is Sunday! Whoops! Don't have a card for them yet! Ack!!!
Dad's and Victoria's birthdays! No presents for them yet. *sigh*
Crocheting. Blankets, hopefully. :)
And that's all for now! By the end of this month, we'll really see what'll have happened! :D
Happy October!
