Wait, I have an old story from two years ago to share! :D
It is prom night of your senior year. Nearly ten boys requested going with you but you had your heart set on one. You hope he will ask or else you won't have a date. Two nights before prom a gorgeous bouquet of wild flowers and a bracelet made of fake diamonds arrives at your door. A note is included saying, "If only I could give you all the things you deserve. The best I can offer you is a night full of fun. I know I am not the one you want, but I so desperately need you. Please come. Love, Jordan." ( names have been changed) Your heart melts.
The message is sooo sweet, but you wanted so badly for Kyle to ask you. Secretly touched by the note, you slip it into your pocket and decide not to answer until the last minute. You wait, and wait, and wait. Nothing. You open the drawer next to your bed and look at the note. Jordan was always very nice, but...The picture of Kyle by your beside haunts you.
You choose Jordan. Jordan is thrilled. He refuses to let you open the door and treats you like a queen. At first, this creeps you out. Wow, this guy is weird, you think.
Jordan has a tender look in his eyes each time he looks at you. And when he holds your hand, it is almost like he thinks you are made of glass, one wrong move and you will shatter.
When you get to the dance before the dinner, Jordan gently lifts you out of the car. The dance is sooo sparkly, everyone looks gorgeous and you feel inferior. You had saved forever for your dress, but now it didn't seem good enough.
At the dance, you spot Kyle. He is a mess. He has his arm wrapped around Michelle and is drinking a strangely colored liquid. You stare at him for several moments until finally Jordan looks to see what it is.
When he sees Kyle, He pulls you out of the room. You are surprised and angry. What is he doing? You drive for about five minutes and near the edge of a cliff,and he parks. Now you are afraid. He turns to you, eyes concerned. "Are you alright?" Your fear melts away.
"Yes." You almost whisper. "Why did you do that?"
Jordan looks at you. "Didn't you see what they were doing?" You shake your head. Jordan explains that they were drinking and smoking dope and that he couldn't bare you getting in trouble.You are super glad that he cared about you.
Jordan reaches in his pocket and starts counting out the money. You start to lose count. He starts the engine and turns the truck away from town.
You drive forever and as you drive, you open up. Soon you are talking like old friends. And as you talk, You realize he is not who you thought he was. After three hours' drive, you reach a beautiful hotel. You wait in the car while he registers two rooms.The place is beautiful. He shows you to your room, and after you drop off your stuff he takes you to an incredible place. It must have cost him thousands of dollars to get you in.
You order the cheapest thing you can find, A $300 steak with a $500 cherry jubilee for dessert. He forks it all out and has more left. You are shocked, you thought he was poor.
After a wonderful meal, you dance for hours and Jordan returns you to your room five minutes before Midnight. Breakfast the next morning is glamorous. Afterwords He takes you to a perfume shop and buys you an eighty dollar thing of perfume. Next he buys you a six hundred dollar dress. You try to refuse but he won't take no for an answer.
This pattern continues, and each day you enjoy his company more and more. It is the third night, and tomorrow, you will head for home. Jordan walks you to the garden of the hotel. You sit next to the fountain. Jordan is nervous and stutters, "D-d-did you have fun?" You smile gently and hold his hand.
"Yes." And you smile.
Jordan is encouraged. "Since forever, I have always wanted to share this moment with you." And then, it happens. The magic is in the air and you know what you had always known, deep in your heart. You love Jordan. You love him more than you have ever loved anyone.
Epilogue:
This is your fifth anniversary. And now you have the guts to ask. "How could you afford that beautiful trip?"
Jordan wraps his arm around you and explains, " Since the moment I first saw you, I wanted you. At sixteen I decided I would save up everything I ever earned so that at your senior prom I could do something to make you happy. I have Always loved you and always will."
Two weeks later, you find out Kyle died of smoking dope. You open your chest were you keep your old things from high school. At the bottom, you find your old picture of Kyle. You laugh at your old crush. You look from Kyle's picture to your picture of Jordan. Without looking once more at Kyle's picture, you throw it in the trash and pick up Jordan's. Just as you reach the door, Jordan comes in.
"I love you," And you kiss him. "And I always will."
And you always do.
What I Have to Say
Guess what? Well, this is what I have to say. I can't promise juicy, fantastic, or even worthwhile stories, but if you care to listen, you may discover things you never thought of. This blog is just a taste of my world as a writer. I know I am not perfect, but through my experiences with life and discoveries I find within myself, I am becoming more and more the writer I hope to one day become. That writer is the one that will change lives, and worlds. ~Evening Star

I Have News.....
I've been absolutely HORRIBLE with posting stuff. I know that I said I would post more often, but life has changed my plans. A LOT. Since I am moving this summer to unknown locations (to you guys, at least) so it gets pretty crazy. I've barely had time for Tarina and Thatriot, so It's been difficult for me to make room for this. Just lettin' you know that I probably won't be able to post for a while yet. But don't worry, I won't abandon this forever, just long enough for things to calm down.
Signing off momentarily,

TODAY IS.....
WHAT I HAVE TO SAY'S BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDD
...Not really. Yesterday was the real one. I think. Really, I'm not sure. I erased the first few posts. xD HAha, but anyway....
What a change. From zero followers to seven. You guys, you are what has gotten me to come to far. I know I haven't been posting much, and I REALLY won't this coming month, but during June, I'm all yours. Promise.
Highlights of this blog? Becoming friends with Thatriot. Feeling needed. Pushing myself. Learning to care again. (yeah, because I am really committed to you guys...xD) Sitting on the couch with Charlie. These have all made life great. And on this special day (well, yesterday) I made another blog. One that will be yet another challenge. A work of fiction, in a strange way. A blog through a character's eyes. SOOO excited for this project. This might get pushed onto the backburner a little bit, but I promise I won't quit. Not yet, anyway.
Thanks for helping me do great things! :DDDD

My Position
Right now, definitely feeling Team Peeta. He is so nice and does anything and everything for her. Gale is just a friend to her. However, both ways, someone gets heartbroken, and I don't want either of them to. </3 :(

Doctor Who and Thatriot (and me)
My mind always feels blank and drained after writing and publishing a post. Is that a good thing? No idea.
So, in my last post, two minutes at the most prior to this one, I mentioned being a more supportive friend. This leaves me to wonder. Thatriot is obsessed with Doctor Who. Does that me that I should watch more than a few episodes and have something to talk with her about? Or, should I leave it, and let her enjoy discussing it with other friends? Do I have the time? Would my mom let me?
I have no idea the answers to any of these questions. It's not that I feel the need to like everything she likes (trust me, I don't), it just that I have never really given it a chance, and maybe I would really enjoy it and we could both be obsessed. But I'm not good at being obsessed. Truly. I can read a book series, get totally hooked, and then decide I don't like it anymore, just because I don't have access to the next book.
I think it comes from my bad habit. See, I got kinda used to severing my feelings. I've learned that when it comes to things, caring isn't all that important, so when it isn't convenient to want it, I quit wanting it. Just like when I got my surgery, and I couldn't eat food forever so I made myself stop wanting food. And ever since then, it has become extremely easy for me to not eat for ages. I haven't fully regained my need or wanting of food. I just can't do it. When I severe my feelings, I do it once, and never look back. Being attached to material things just doesn't work for me. They never last.
So, I want to be obsessed, but I just don't know if a) I'll even like it and b) if I can pull it off. I just wanted to be normal; attached to weird things and crazy emotional about them. I'm just not normal in anyway. *sigh* See, I'm the type of person who really isn't crazy desperate to...I dunno, live. Now, before you freak out, I mean like, well....How can I explain this? If I die, I'm fine. I'll just be happy dead. I've already had a couple brushes with death, and frankly it doesn't scare me. But then, I also find life precious, and I wanna cram all I can into it while I have to chance. But if I were to die tomorrow, I would be okay with it in terms of me, but when it comes to leaving others with things undone and unsaid, that is what would bother me. I have no fears for myself, but I fear harming others.
This got a little off topic, but that's okay. Go ahead and tell me what you think. I'm always listening. :)

The Hunger Games
I have a couple of posts to make, several complaints to voice, AND, to top it all off, I am going to announce something amazing (haha, maybe). So, bear with me a while. After all, I have to make up for lost time.
So, first the complaints. I am super sick. :b My tonsils are swollen AGAIN. Ugh. I had to stay home today, and my head fills fuzzy, my throat is killing me, and although I love juice, I am getting tired of drinking. I am tired of sitting, lying, sleeping, napping, and being awake. I JUST WANNA LIVE AGAIN. It gets annoying after awhile, and I have only been sick for one day.
So, with all of this sickness and spare time, I actually did something productive (sort of). I read the first book in the Hunger Games!!! :D Yeah....I know I'm slow...:b So, in like sixth grade, a really good friend of mine told me to read them. I just HAD to read them. Boy, am I a good listener, because in seventh grade, my super amazing friend that I already told you about, Kaylee, told me I had to read them. I DIDN'T LISTEN. *bangs head on desk* You know, for being best friends, I sure was supportive. More on that later, actually.
Anyway, so in eighth grade, I finally had the itch to read them, but I didn't, because I couldn't seem to find them anywhere. Well, now that the movie excitement has calmed a bit, I was able to check all of them out at a public library. I have finished the first one, and am now on the second one. My verdict? It seems like a regular, run-of-the-mill survivalist series. I mean, I keep waiting for something incredible to clutch at my heart, but it really never did. I am still waiting. STILL.
WHERE ARE YOU INCREDIBLENESS????
*ehm* So, now that I am reading the second one, I am rather puzzled, wondering which choice Katniss will make concerning Gale and Peeta. Now, there are a few points I want to cover. First, the whole team Peeta, and team Gale thing freaks me out. Why? It feels too much of Twilight, Now, I am not fond of that sort of reading, but I am not about to jab out at anyone (nor the Hunger Games fans), however, it seems so cheap to follow Twilight in this voting-thing. I mean, really. And the whole idea is just ridiculous. The author wrote it, you just read it. You can't change it, so why bother?
Second, Peeta and his bread. It sounds utterly stupid when you know nothing about the book when you hear someone reference him as the 'Bread Boy'. His bread is mentioned rarely throughout the first book, and haven't seen any more in the second to speak of. Why do people make their own Peeta bread recipes? I don't get it. You can't ever taste, so why name it after him?
The bad thing about reading this book at this time, was that the whole thing was centered around food. I mean, after all, it IS key to survival. But, I was (and am) extremely hungry, and as I read on, my stomach wouldn't stop complaining. xD So sad, I know.
All in all? It was a good book, but it got weirdly Fanned by people, which made bits of it weird and made the book lose its appeal, because I expected WAY more than I got. But, the rest of the series sounds promising, and I am going to keep on reading. But, just in case you doubt my sincerity when I said that it was a good book, I'll even play the stupid (well, at least in my eyes) fan game and pick a team. But, keep in mind that as I read, I am allowed to change teams at will. When I do make a change, I'll let you guys know.
I do not regret reading it any bit, and it has made me think deeply about a lot of things, which is a sure sign of a real treasure. Thanks, Suzanne Collins, for making The Hunger Games! :D

Who, Me? I Wasn't Hiding...........
Oh YEAH. I have a blog. Opps. I sorta forgot about you guys went on this really awesome vacation, signed with a company and, yeah. You know, a lot of stuff happens. Really. Honest. *crosses fingers*
So, now that my lovely long break is over, I have a TON to tell. First off, I have been "doing" CampNano, but not. :b I can't help it. I seem to be taking a break from everything. So, anyway, a really awesome friend of mine moved away, and I haven't seen her for a while. So, in case she happens to read this, YOU'RE AWESOME B. If not, oh well. Life will go on, I suppose.
Things have been insane, and I have already started packing for my summer move. :b I HATE packing. Already it is getting hot and humid, and we JUST started. This sounds like death just waiting to happen.
I didn't get my New Years Resolution all the way. :b I missed March (it was a stupid month anyway....) and I don't know if I have to stamina or the gumption to keep going despite my tainted record.
So many things I haven't updated you on, I don't know where to start. I don't want to type anymore right now, though, so you will have to wait for anything more.
So long! :D
