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 of a Meme

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!
