Ahhhhhhhhh, silliness from my BFF/Manager, Hals. Go here for her latest post.
I'm alive. I know, it's had to believe but I am. It's been a good while since I last updated. Seems like I'm fallin' away from blogging and internet all together. The whole shabang seems boring to this one, rather spend my day outside (in a bookstore) than at the computer all day. *siiiiiiiigh* So with that, I'm probably going to be off and on every few months or so.
Nothing new has happened around here. I'm kinda, sorta out for the summer, still have a few more books to go. It's been hotter than a hound dog chasing a rabbit on a hunt these last few days. As I hear it, the heat will only increase. Great. Rain stops now the humidity rolls on in. My hair frizzes now! T.T
At the moment, I'm mapping out my made-up country. Yeah, I went back to that. Mrs. JK Rowling inspired me (again) and now I'm mad at her (again). Why? She made it seem too easy making up all that wonderful stuff. And so did George Lucas (I'm mad at him too), and C.S.Lewis (also mad at him), and J. R. R. Tolkien (I'm mad at them all). I'm so mad I should sue. XD Mostly likely one can do that these days. Ino. *shrugs* It's been fun. Interesting and intertaining. Helping to sharpen my skills! :)
Went to the bookstore three days ago and bought two books by Robert Graves and Dante's Divine Comedy. I also got me some watercolors and a kit so I can teach meself how to paint. :p Fun, fun, fun. And yesterday, we went to the Gangster Museum of America (located in our very own Hot Springs Arkansas located down the street from the Arlington Hotel), wax museum, and Lake Catherine. I fed the duckies while they fished. I even named them! Let's see...there was Adam, Benjamin, Caleb, Daniel, Equinox, Francine, and the mama duck, Gemima. :P Silliness. Had a good time though.
And this concludes an update.
Auf Wiedersehen. Kayla.
P.S. Here's some more nonsense courtesy of Mother.
You Know You're From Arkansas If...

29. You think that "deer season" is a National Holiday.
30. You know that you can't get anywhere without going through Little Rock first.
31. You can't think of anything better than sitting on the porch in the middle of the summer during a thunderstorm.

35. You know if another Arkansan is from the Ozarks, Northern, Central, or Southern part of AR as soon as they open their mouth.

39. You go to Magic Springs and Wid River Country every single day of summer--even when it's not that hot.

I'll be looking forward to your returns. No matter how infrequent.
I've read this one before. Not all of these are necessarily Arkansas! But it's cool nonetheless. Love you!

You used my quote!! *hug*
I was beginning to wonder why weren't posting. It was exceptionally strange, being you used to bug me to post! XD The tables have...err...had turned, eh?
You went to the gangster museum without ME?!!?! I just might have to possibly throw a semi-mild, fairly loud tantrum.
Heck yes I'm from Arkansas!!! Yeehaa!........that was weird...I never say "yeeha"...
bye!
Jun. 13, 2008 - uh-uh!

Hey Girly!
Feels like I haven't been here in forever.....which is probably cuz I haven't. ^_^ *hangs head in shame* But glad to hear that all is well over at your computer.
Still working on your stories I see. Good for you. Can't say the same about myself. I deleted my story blog. 0_0 I don't know what possessed me to do a fool thing like that, but I started writing on a blog that my friend started up. Maybe you should check it out. I think you would like it. Then maybe you could join. My pen-name on there is Jane Austen. ^_^
This is an off the wall question.....but have you ever read any Ted Dekker books?
Love & Hugs,
Sarah
Jul. 15, 2008 - Me again

*ahem* *blushes* Maybe it would be good if I actually gave you the site address that I write for. ^_^ it's http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/writingforGod/
And I agree with everyone else. You better not stop blogging all together. >_< If you do, I'll come back and haunt you! *smug look*
