His name is Humphrey

Yurp. ^.^

Yesterday I wrote about a page and a half of my OYAN. Pretty good. =3

I love this song:

The chorus reminds me of OYANers. Not exactly sure why...

I'm not sure whether to write my next OYAN (Howl of the Silver Moon) in first or third person. I've always wrote it in third person and switched between characters, but I don't think that's entirely necessary. And I'm not sure if I'm better at writing in first or second. I often write fairytale type stories in third person, and I kind of consider this one a fairytale type, but then again, it's not really.
*shrug*

And another cool thing, today my grandma wanted us to go through her jewelry and take whatever we wanted, and I found this neat hat pin! Cool or what? Now all I need is a hat to go with it... :P

I just got around twenty books from the library... O.o

Waif Bookmark

I'm re-reading 'House of Many Ways'. It's one of the sequels to 'Howls Moving Castle', one of the best books in the world.

Yesterday I did a little doodle of Waif, a white little dog Charmain (Main character from 'House of Many Ways') finds in Great Uncle William's house.

Waif from 'House of Many Ways'
I liked her so much I just couldn't bring myself to glue it into my sketchbook with all my other strange doodles.
So I use my favorite marker to add shadows:

Waif again. (House of Many Ways)
And drew a cake for Waif (Cause for such a small dog she has a HUGE appetite):
And made a Waif Bookmark with quotes on either side:
What do you think?

If you haven't read Howls Moving Castle, Castle in the Air or House of Many Ways, you are seriously missing out. They're cute story-tale type books dealing with magic, quirky events, and adorable characters. Read them or die of lack of awesomeness.

Just kidding.

(Although, Bookblogger, you have to read them. Or you will die. coughbymywrathcough)

(insert creative title here)

^ Cause I'm totally uncreative like that.

I have finished about 5 chapters of my OYAN. Yup. It's slow. But i have an excuse:

I've been helping out with VBS this week! It's been lots of fun. I have ten kids in my small group-seven boys and three girls. The theme this year is Amazing Wonders Aviation.

Yurp. It's so much fun, but I have to admit I almost can't wait till it's over.

Bookblogger and I watched Journey to the Center of the Earth yesterday. It. Was. Awesome. One of my favorite movies. =3 Josh was as awesome as ever.
I really want to watch Journey 2! (Didjya know that they're comin out with Journey 3 in 2014? Eep. Crazy.)

Trevor: Hey, look at all this Schist!   
Sean: What?   
Trevor: It's a metamorphic rock. Green schist, white schist, mica-garnet schist...   
Sean: Oh. Schist

Sean: Oh, we're in deep schist.
Sean: Rubies...
Hanna: Emeralds...
Trevor: Feldspar...!

*screaming*
*pause*
Trevor: We're still falling!
*screaming*

Sean: Dibs.
Trevor: What?
Sean: I call dibs on the mountain guide.
Trevor: You're thirteen, you can't call dibs.

Hanna: No one gets dibs on the mountain guide.

 Sean: That. Was. Awesome. What happened to you guys?

=3 Awesome movie. I've also been spending my week in the neighbors pool. 'Cuase man, it is HOT here.

BTW, If you haven't yet, you have GOT to read the Gallagher Girl Series. Just sayin'.



Sorry about that muddle up there. ^ It wont fix no mater how many spaces I put in it. <.<


I will now finish this post with some quotes from my dad:

Me: Look at that Saint Bernard! Apparently it's mean though.
Dad: Nothing a golf club can't fix.

Me: It's funny how we're called Canada, and the US is called the United States of America.
Dad: Yeah. We should call ourselves the United Provinces of America. Or the United Provinces and Territories of America!

Mom: It's not like the boarder [between Canada and the USA]  is a big red line or anything.
Dad: It's purple.
