I'm... drawing...and writing...

...And still feeling weird.

I'm drawing wolves. (You're probably like: "No! Really?") I found a tutorial on Icewolf's blog on how to draw wolves. And I tell you, she gave some really good instructions. Easy to follow (Really, it's just pictures) and easy to do. I think my pictures look pretty good. I'll scan them and put them on later. I think...

I'm finally getting a little farther with Howl of the Silver Moon, but, honestly, I hate the title. I absolutely hate it. It's to...blah. To... cheesy. I want something else.

So, I'm gonna have a contest.


Here's what you have to do:
  • Read what I have so far of 'Howl of the Silver Moon' if you haven't already.
  • Think up a cool name for the story that would work. You can enter as many as you can think of.

  • Prize: Uh...do you want another award to fill up the sides of you blog?
So, I might use the name, if I find one I like.

My Question Mark `sn`t Working.

Don`t know why though.

I made a file on Twilight Princess yesterday. Man, that game is fun.

Rosery: Yeah, she`s like, obsessed with it.
Scezzle: I am NOT!
Zagum: Then how come you were always asking if Rocky was going on every few secondsÉ
(É = Question Mark)
Scezzle: Because it`s fun-
Rosery: Exactly my point!
Scezzle: And there was nothing else to do until the neighbors showed up. We played until it got dark. REALLY dark.
Zagum: Trying to change the subject, are weÉ
Scezzle: NO. After that we had cheese cake. Yum.
Rosery: *Chuckles* I think you are.
Zagum: So whatÉ! *Dreamy look* Cheese cake is dessert heaven.
Scezzle: -_- Whatevr.

By the way, *Guilty look* I forgot my own contest.
The winner is......*Drum roll*


Icewolf!!!

Click HERE for her blog.
Here`s her story:
 







“You just hate me, don’t you?”
            Ryia paused by the door with clean linen sheets from the laundry folded in her arms, the voice just loud enough for her to hear. The door led to King Jaqu’s chambers, and since the voice wasn’t Lady Vinilé’s Ryia could only assume it was one of his many maids that he slept with. Her lip curled in disgust and she nearly snarled. Did the maids really think that someone who cheated on his wife would be faithful to them? 
            “Of course I don’t hate you, my flower,” King Jaqu’s silky voice replied. Ryia moved closer to the door, holding the white sheets closer to her breast and curious to listen. She winced, as there was a shriek and a crash of something breaking.
            “You liar! Then why is it you always go around sleeping with other women, breaking hearts?” There was a short pause. “You break my heart.”
            Footsteps thudded loudly, and Ryia jumped back just in time before the door burst open. Instead of the ditzy maid Ryia expected, Fyciah stuttered to a halt before her, tears shining in her emerald green eyes. Upon seeing Ryia, a strangled sob escaped from the young girl’s throat and she flung herself into Ryia’s arms. In response, Ryia dropped the clean sheets onto the ground and held the child close to her.
            King Jaqu followed his daughter. It was the first time in a long while that Ryia had seen him, and he looked no less than he had before. His handsome blonde hair was swept back in an almost careless manor, and his sturdy jaw was rigid. He glared at Ryia through glassy blue eyes, similar to Heron’s playful ones. If he had looked at her like that a month or so ago, her heart would have broke with shame, but now she glared back.
            “She’s just a young girl, what would she know of life,” he said, more to himself than Ryia.
            “She would know enough to know that her father should not be cheating on her mother,” Ryia snapped, running a hand through Fyciah’s soft hair. The King scowled at Ryia. Fyciah just kept sobbing and sobbing into Ryia’s shoulder, seeking comfort in the servant girl’s presence.
            “And you, Ryialyn Teriti? What do you know of parents,” King Jaqu growled, taking one dangerous step over another.
            Her eyes flashed painfully. “Do not vex me, Jaqu.”
            “AND DO NOT VEX ME,” the King roared, wrenching Fyciah from Ryia and slammed his open hand into the servant’s face. Her cheek stung terribly, but Ryia steadied her breathing as not to show weakness. “You can never call me by my name alone, you animal! I am the King! King Jaqu!”
            “You are also a tyrant! The tyrant who runs around messing about and brandishing his title like it was honorable,” Ryia spat. “You do not deserve the honor that comes with the title ‘King’. You are Tyrant Jaqu to me!”
            “ENOUGH YOU WRETCH. ENOUGH!”
            He slammed his fist into the pit of Ryia’s stomach. She heaved and fell to her knees, coughing. While she was on the ground his foot shot out and kicked the side of her face.
            “Stop it, Father! Just stop it,” Fyciah cried harder, and yet unable to do anything in her maid’s defense. King Jaqu grabbed a fistful of Ryia’s brown hair and yanked it so that she had to face him. With her neck bent at an awkward angle, Ryia struggled to breathe.
            “You wretched cur. You belong on the streets with the rest of your kind,” his breath, reeking of alcohol, burned her face, “call yourself noble? Call yourself brave?” He flung her away from him roughly, shouting, “WORTHLESS. We should have you strung up for your arrogance-”
            “Father!” Fyciah stepped in front of Ryia, blocking her from view. “I’ll tell Mother! I’ll tell her you beat Ry again!”
            “Again,” the King laughed manically, swaying up to his daughter, “again, little girl?” Suddenly he grabbed her wrists and shoved her into the wall. “Was there a first time,” he whispered angrily into her ear. She bit her lip and screwed her eyes shut, whimpering.
            That sealed the deal for Ryia. She jumped to her feet with a strange, new energy, and screamed, “Hands off her, you tyrant!” She chanted string of words rapidly, and King Jaqu dropped to the ground like a puppet whose strings were cut. He moaned and clutched his stomach.
            Ryia quickly moved forward and caught Fyciah as she collapsed. She glared at the King.
            “Don’t worry, the spell will only effect the alcohol in your stomach. And if you consume alcohol in the next few days you’ll feel even more pain as it enters your body,” she informed the groaning King.
            “W-witch,” he managed to say.
            “Nope,” Ryia turned, picked up the discarded sheets, and began to walk away with Fyciah and the sheets in her arms, “just magikal.”


 And, honourable mention goes to Maddy/Bookblogger!

Short Story Contest

A few days ago my older brother was watching Durassic Park (Or how ever you spell it) and I stopped to watch a bit. Wrong idea. I watched a guy being eaten by two T-Rex. Not nice.

I've decided to host a Short Story contest.

  • It can be about anything, any genre.
  • When I say short, I don't mean one paragraph. Make it at least five pages worth. Or longer.

I'm blogging (Wow, like, big news huh?)

Okay, I haven't blogged for...four days. And my last one was just a small up-date.

So, do you girls like my contest? (I'm waiting for more enteries...=)

By the way I'd like to thank Shimmer the Cat for following my blog! (Hey, when you only have 6 followers every follower counts!) BTW, did some one tell you about this blog or did you just happen to stumble upon my small, random, abode? :) (I'm in the middle of a contest, so if one of my followers sent you, they get a point.)

The day after I was at Maddy's I had the itch again. It was terrible! My mom thinks it was either dry skin or an allergic reaction. To what? I'm 12 and all of a sudden I'm allergic to something? I couldn't think of what it could be. Any way, now it's gone.

I started writing that story I was talking about! Here it is:

(It doesn't have a name yet)

Milo
I walked happily down the sidewalk, my tail waving proudly in the air. Children shopping with their parents pointed at me as I strutted down the busy street.
Most cats didn't like the city and preferred to stay deep in the woods of the nearby park, but I was an exception. I didn't mind a little noise. Truthfully, I liked humans. I wasn't one who liked to be alone.
"Hey! Milo!" Truett, one of my best friends, hissed from under a bus stop bench. "Get over here!" I sighed and with a roll of my eyes I trotted over.
"What?" I asked coolly, lowering my head to the height of the dwarfed Russian Blue's nose.
"What are you doing here?" He hissed again. I was surprised at the little kitten. Usually he was the one taking the risks.
"Taking a walk. What does it look like?" I laughed a little and pushed him over.
"Don't you know it's dangerous? The Elder Cat is always telling us not to walk out in the open with the humans. We could-" He scrambled to his feet. "Look out!"
Before I could turn around, strong hands gripped firmly around my belly. I let out a terrified mew as a man carried me to a truck and shoved me into a crate. I heard him slam the door and start the engine. I tried to hold onto the slippery plastic floor as I was carried away and shuddered as the truck sped along the street.

AutumnBeep! Beep!
The loud alarm of my clock echoed in my ears.
"Great." I muttered as I punched the' sleep' button. "It's Saturday and I forgot to turn off the alarm"
I slipped out of bed and walked on my tip toes to the kitchen. My mom said that I was like a cat, walking like that. My dad said it was disrespectful. My friends said it was a teen thing. I didn't even know why I did it.
I grabbed a sandwich from the table and hurried to the basement. "Don't crumble on the floor!" My mom called after me.
"I wont!" I called back. "Me and Chico are going for a walk!" I grabbed my dogs leash. "Come on Chico!" As I looked over at my silly beagle I wondered why he didn't come running to me like he usually did.
"Come on, lets go." I walked over to him, lying on his bed. "We haven't got all day." Suddenly my heart shattered into a million pieces. I bent down beside his limp body. "Chico." I ruffled his soft fur. I laid my hand on his still chest. A large tear rolled down my cheek. "Oh, Chico." I whispered and hugged my best friend around the neck. I pressed my face into his fur.
"Autumn, I thought you were-oh, Honey." My mom took me in her arms and I cried. Me and Chico had been friends as long as I could remember. Now he was gone.

TruettI watched in horror as Milo was carried away. My heart beat didn't slow down as I hurried to the forest, my home. I burst into the clearing were the rest of the Forest Clan were. Heads turned as I stumbled over to the Elder Cat. I rested and caught my breath as he looked at me, seemingly amused. His normal expression. His men stared right through me.
"Speak." Elder Cat said, lifting his head high and pushing back his shoulders.
"Milo," I gasped. "She, got taken."
I heard gasps of surprise and terror as the news soaked in. Hunters dropped their catches and kittens stopped their play. Mothers automatically trotted over to shield their babies. Elder Cat's proud expression melted away. Then he just grunted and turned his back on me.
"Well-aren't we going to do any thing?" I asked, concerned for my friend.
Elder turned and looked at me. I thought I saw a twinkle of admiration as he smiled soberly.
"There's nothing we can do." With that he walked off into the thicket. His two men followed.
I stared after them. Anger filled my heart, but I knew he was right. There was nothing we could do. I might never see Milo again.

MiloI shivered and pressed farther back into my cage. For the first time in my life I felt truly afraid. I had heard of cats going to the pound, but never dreamed that I would be one of them. Many cats that 'got taken' were never seen again. I had heard many stories of those that had been taken, many died, others went to terrible homes, many were never heard of.
Some were fortunate enough to return home, some dying only days later. Some had survived though. I hoped I was one of them.
I had new smells. A new surrounding. But my curiosity had deserted me. I no longer wanted to strut around. I didn't want to explore. I just wanted to go home.

Seth"Milo?" I asked, frantic. Milo had got taken? But how? "Are you sure it was Milo?"
"No, Bucky." Truett rolled his eyes. But I could tell he was worried. "Of course Milo. That's what I said, that's who I talked to."
I paced as I turned the news over in my head. Milo, my best friend in the whole world, was gone. I wished I knew what I could do, I wished I could help her. But I didn't know where to start. I didn't even know where the pound was. I sighed in frustration and worry.
"Well, what did Elder say?" I said turning to face him.
"Well..." He shifted his weight from one set of paws to the other.
"What?" I demanded.
Truett paused. "There's nothing we can do."
I stared in disbelief at my friend. Sadly I returned to my home sheltered in the grass.

AutumnI walked quietly down the school hallways. I weaved in and out of chattering students. Sunday had past slowly. I still could barely contain my tears at the thought of Chico, my faithful friend for twelve of my fifteen years.
I squished into the "in" crowd. I didn't know whether to consider myself lucky or not to be with the most popular girls in school.
The other girls grudgingly moved over to give me room.
"So I was like, of course!..." Sydney babbled on and pretended not to notice me as I stepped into the circle. I could have been breathing in her face and she wouldn't notice.
"Autumn! Quit breathing in my face!" Okay, maybe she would. Even though I was already three feet away I took a step back.
"So, what's new with you?" Victoria finally asked.
"Nothing..." I whispered uncomfortably. "My dog died."
"Oh Aussie!" Sydney used my "pet" name. "How terrible!"
I knew she didn't mean it.
"I've had my pet hamster die before." One girl said, not to me.
"Oh, Princess Frou Frou was so adorable!" Another chimed in. Also not to me.
"Princess Frou Frou?" I thought. "Who names their pet hamster Princess Frou Frou?"
The other girls walked off to class, once again leaving me behind.

MiloI nibbled at the dry food the humans had given me. I didn't know if I should be grateful or not. I would have gone for a nice mouse any day. I had been cooped up in my stuffy cage for days now. Some times left in complete darkness, other times a bright light sneaked its way into my lonely cage.
I looked up in surprise as the cage door was slowly opened and a hand reached in. I cowered in fear in the far corner. I had lost my trust in humans. I flinched as they wrapped around me. I was surprised to find them gentle and they lifted me gingerly from the ground.
I blinked as my eyes adjusted from the darkness of the cage to the brightly lit room of the pound. I looked up at the lady that held me so carefully. She held me close to her and I started to purr as she stroked my head and brushed her hand along my back.
She was talking to another man.
"She's so cute and gentle." She said to him. I supposed they were talking about me.
"Yeah, she's a beauty alright. We found her in near the park."
They talked on and on. I surveyed my surroundings. Many cages like my own lined the walls. Dogs barked in another room and tasty looking birds chirped in their cages. I looked in sadness at the other cats that had stumbled upon this misfortune. A little Tabby kitten curled up in a corner. A big Persian looked sorrowfully out of his cage.
"I'll take her then." My attention turned back to the humans as the man took me from the lady and placed me in another cage. I wondered what they could be doing to me now.
As my new cage began to move, I wondered where I might be going next. I was glad that this cage was lined with old towels. I curled up in the far back and fell asleep.

That's as far as I've written so far, how do you like it?

My first hockey game! (And a contest.)

K, lets not leave you with some boring and depressing writing news!

Yesterday, me, my dad, and my little brother (My older brother isn't into sports.) went to a hockey game. It was lots of fun, even though our team lost, 3 to 4. It was a really great game. (Made me want to take Hockey lessons.)

I've always been into sports. At camp, All I did in free time was play soccer with the boys and once in a while another girl would join in.
  When we were home schooling with a different school we went to a skating rink. It was split up, one part for free skating, skating lessons, and the boys did hockey at the far end. Last year, I was with the boys, playing hockey till my hearts content. Actually, I was sad when we had to leave.
  I used to think basketball was cool, then a boring gym class ruined it for me, but now I love to play it with the next door neighbors.
  The only sports I don't like are lacrosse, and foot ball. Although in some places they call soccer foot ball. I believe in some places it's pronounced fooze ball, but I'm not really sure.
Any one else into sports?

Speaking of games, has any one heard of these games?

  • Pizza
  • Ninjas
  • Good guys bad guys
  • Kick the can
  • China wall
  • Head Moose
Okay, the third, I know you've never heard of it. Me and my friends made it up. So much fun. Until...never mind.

Good Guys, Bad Guys:

You need: two hula hoops, skipping ropes or rope, small items (Large rocks, small containers, sand shovels, spoons, etc.), 4 or more players, a big field or yard. (We used the whole yard, backyard and front.)

How to play:
- Place one of the hoops on one side of the yard and the other on the other side. Lay the skipping ropes around on of the hoops in a wide circle. Place the small items inside the hula hoop surrounded by skipping ropes.
- Divide into two equal teams, good guys and bad guys. If there is an unequal number, the bad guys get one extra player. (It is easier for the good guys so it's fair, trust me.)
- The good guys pick one certain item before the game starts and they keep it secret form the other team.
- The bad guys have to get into the skipping rope area, without being tagged by the good guys. If they are tagged, they have to go back to their hula hoop and stay there for 60 sec. If they make it, they then take an item  and have to get it back to their hula hoop with out getting tagged.
- Once they get it back, the good guys tell them if it was the item that they picked or not. If they did not get it, then the game goes on. If they did get it, they win.
- The good guys have to try to tag all the players and if they all are having a time out, the good guys win.

This game is REALLY fun whether you have a large or small group.

CREATIVE CONTEST!

Last post today. (hopefully)

I'll try to put this all in one post: (Hopefully I wont forget some thing again.)

really?
My whole family, (My mom, dad, my older brother, my little brother and my little sister.) All went for a walk to the mail box. Did I mention that it's FREEZING out side? It is so could there's no such thing as water out there, just ice. (Okay, joke, it's not THAT cold out side, but it is freezing.) I was wearing jeans, so that didn't help. My legs were so cold. I put my mouth and nose into my jacket and stared at the ground as I walked. My family stopped to look at a frog under the ice in the ditch. Great, a frog, I see those all the time. Finally they saw some thing cool, they saw, what looked like, okay, this is so cool, I wish I had seen it, they are so cool, they saw...

AN OTTER!

A river otter! A real life river otter! Right near our house! I wish I had seen it. By the time I ran to take a look, it had dove into a hole under some ones drive way. Shucks, I never get to see any thing cool. I SO wish I had seen it.

Pet Picture Contest

Here are my pictures for Lauren's pet picture contest:


Funny:
This is Coma, the neighbors horse, because he has a coma shaped mark on his head.

Cute:

This is Skylar, also the neighbors cat.

Pretty:

This is Misty, another one of the neighbors pets, and one of my favorite pretty pups!

These are some other pictures that I'm not entering:

Here's Skylar again, playing with a toy at the end of a string. (Twine, rope, what ever.)

This is Spot, with Pride in the background. (His head's cut of.)

Here's Spot again. This is what I'd call a close up.

Wait, THIS is a close up.

This is Dudley, a big teddy bear. He doesn't realize he's not a puppy anymore.

Here's Skylar again, kinda blurry. Animals are hard to get good pictures of. Unless they stand still.

I had some videos and more pictures, but I can't find them.
