Vol 95

This is for Trice!


And I quote:
Something Afternoon Tea (fiction I've been writing. XD) related.

End Quote:

That was your fourth wish, Trice, on your holiday wish-list-thing...yeah!
I said I would grant it.
And in a way I am.

Remember this:

She leisured around, paying attention to each detail marking the lobby of the Hilton, until her curiosity flared up due to a painting along the stairs...“Is there something wrong Miss Parker?”...Carter surveyed his para-legal from afar. He had labeled Emily as plain before, and noted that he had to revise this opinion. If the receptionist hadn’t told him that his companion was at the stairs, he wouldn’t have thought this woman was Parker.


If not, I'm sure you do now.
I always remembered that scene because...well...it was hella funny to me.
Plain on Em stepped out like BAM!
Penguin or Pooh didn't expect that.

Do you also remember my TBT picture post?
The one with the plush animals?
I'm sure you do.
My AT gift to you is this..........TADA!!!




Emily and Ian at the dinner party.
Do you like it?
I like it?
Let me convince you even more why you have to like and love it...




Every thing that Bear Emily, nickname Bemily, is wearing I made.
The hair?
I bought a hair piece, cut it, sewed it to the bear, and styled the bang.
I even made the head band and bow.

The dress?
I took an old shirt and skirt I never wear, cut them, and stitched them together.
Like the lace?
There's even a split in the lace.
Naughty Bemily.





Bear Ian, or Bian, was a lot easier to make.
I'm not finished with him just yet.
I want to give him a hat.
Maybe some nice pants, but pants are hard for me to make.
You have to consider that I'm cutting and stitching this all by hand.

But Bian is wearing the latest...or oldest, threads from my wardrobe.
He's sporting a nice white (not really collar) collar shirt and black vest.
Feeling a little frisky, he tossed the tie on the dance floor (I just didn't make the tie yet).


So...



Like your wish!
I like it?
I was going to mail it to you, but I'm not satisfied with the quality of it.
It's been a while since I've done something like this.
One of my many secret hobbies.
Anyway, WISH GRANTED!!!!!


BTW! WTH!
You've been updating AT and you haven't even told me.
I thought you were on hiatus?
What's that all about???
Last time I read it, Em and Ian were in the car eating chocolate, and Emily had a monthly visitor.
You're so petty.
I know I've been wrapped up with Nanowrimo, but I'm finished with that.
Next time let me know.

I'll read all those updates tomorrow.

Not died yet

Okay, so I plan to update soon.
I haven't done much of anything in the pass few months besides School.
I still work, but only 2-3 days a week.
Right now I should be studying for a French test tomorrow, or either sleep.
I have to work on my proposal for my major.
I finally came up with a name for my major: "Neurobiology of Language".
There's actually a study about this as we speak, but I won't get into it because no one would know what I'm talking about.
Back in August I picked up a book (first time doing so since 2005).
That book lead to another, and then another, and then another.
I've read about about 18-19 books, and I have 6 more sitting in front of me that I'll finish but mid-next week, hopefully.
So that will total 24-25 books since August.
And those 24-25 books are all from 3 different series, which my next update will be about.

Vol 27



I could be described as an "outgoing" introvert.
I love solitude.
Nothing makes me more happy than being alone.
Of course I like hanging out with people as well, but if I had a choice, depending on the situation I would more likely choose to sit in my room alone and watch a drama.
That's just the way I am, and I love it.

So recently I was asked to tell something about myself that most people do not know, and I decided to share something.
At first I wasn't sure what to say.
Everyone knows I love dancing, and studied it for 10 years.
Everyone knows I study languages (Japanese, Korea, Spanish, French, and Chinese at the moment).
Everyone knows I watch more Asian dramas than American TV.
And everyone also knows my ipod is filled with music from all over the world and every genre.
From Instrumental to Freestyle, and African to Celtic.
So what about myself would I share.
Well, there is one thing people do not know about me.
One thing that will make you say "Say what?! Since when?"
I am a writer.

Yep it's true.
I started writing stories when I was 14.
Although I can't remember what the first story I wrote was about, I remember the first story I seriously wrote.
I was 16.
It was a fantasy story with demons, angels, warriors, and dragons.
All that good stuff.
I mostly write when I am bored (at work or in class).
This past 7 months, I have written 5 stories.
2 were short and 3 are long.
I'm actually still working on 2 of the long stories.
When I say 2 were short, I mean that they are no longer than 25 pages on WORD.
The one long story that I completed was about 140 pages on WORD.
I haven't edited it yet, so the number of pages will probably increase since there were some scenes I have yet to write.
As for the two long stories I haven't completed.
I know they will be long stories because A: One story is the squeal to the first long story I completed and the plot is twice as long and action packed. B: The other story will be very detailed because I am creating a new country/world in this story. Therefore, there will be lots and lots of details.

I have a goal that I want to accomplish. I want to write at least one story in every language that I am studying. Completely in that language.
I need to study a lot harder than.

You might wonder how can I, a person who sucks at grammar and spelling, write stories.
It's all thinks to my handy-dandy beta readers.
This year I switched to a new beta-reader.
She's always asking for new parts, so I write often.
She's not really a beta-reader, just a friend who I actually write the stories for, and her comments on each part helps me write better.

But right now that beta-reader is on vacation overseas and won't be back until the end of July, so I kind of have a break.
I've wrote a lot recently (as in front and back on plain sheets of paper...lots and lots of plain sheets of paper), but I'm too lazy to collect all the papers and type it.
I need to do so quickly before that beta-reader comes back and cut me.
