What A Mush-Fest!!

Last weekend, my sister and I made breakfast in bed for my mom. No real reason why ... and we started to go through her hope chest at the end of the bed. 50% towels, by the way.

We found her wedding album! Aw! Cute! My dad looked six with his buzz cut. LOL

Then I found a box with a piece of masking tape on it. "Frankie's 16th Birthday" Hmmm. I'll check into that later ;)

Then we found a small wooden box with four envelopes, two IDs, a pictue of my dad with a goofy hat on, and several strings with flip-flops on them from their honeymoon in Jamaca.

Three of the four envelopes were to my mom from my dad in Somalia about a month after they met. Let me say first, AWWWWWWWWW! Daaaaaaddy, that's sooooo sweeeeet! Ahem, okay. On the first one he drew himself with sunburn. :0 Where do my drawing skills come from??

Peace, Love, Save The Whales!!

As August comes to a close, a quick recap.

So, school is back and, actually, it feels good to have a schedule to follow again. I am enjoying German (Wie heiss du?). I didn't think I would. And I got a new name for seventh period, Sabine. Pretty name, I think. I'm going to use it sometime.

Just read The Hunger Games. Wow. Ho-ly crapstock that was so great! I have got to get Catching Fire soon! Mom's gonna try and read it in a day. I'm waiting for it to get bigger than Twilight. C'mon, c'mon ...

I Will Save Her and Days (which I might get around to telling about later) are going well, too. Plots are coming together, characters are developing easily, and I find that I want to just dive into the worlds I have created and live there forever.

So, all in all, I think August went really went for me. I can't wait for September!

PS - just watched The Blind Side from Netflix last night. I lost it in the middle. Go. Watch. It.

Brady loves Charley!

Okay, so we had my little cousin out here a couple weekends ago, and I forgot to post the most adorable little thing he did!

My dad got Long Way Down on Netflix, so we were watching it and everytime Charley Boorman came onscreen, Brady squealed like a girl! It was the cutest thing in the world!

Things are going well in Suburbia. All is quiet - except for the bubbling of our new hottub! Hello!

See ya', wouldn't wanna be ya'!

Who knew? :)

Are you afraid of dying?

It seems like a simple question, right? Think about it. Do not think about what you are leaving behind!!! That is a different question!!! I mean, are you afraid of death? Just death.

I think most people are afraid of time, not death. Not having enough time to do what they want, see what they want, etc.

In the words of Albus Dumbledore, "To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure."

So, are you?

WH13

Just was talking to Allison Scagliotti aka Claudia from Warehouse 13 over Syfy.com asking her:

"Hey Claudia, will your hair color be changing anytime soon or is it a new WH13 icon?"

and she responded:

"It'll be different every week, Frankie. Just like the show"

My mom freaked out!! We just watched the new episode and will continue to enjoy the show like we did last summer. We thought it had gotten cancelled, but no! Here it is, a brand new season! Check it out. Syfy channel - and no, I am not spelling it wrong.

Peas!

Be Fearless

I was writing in my notebook for Fearless last night and I realized something - how much I want people to read this when I finished. I mean, having a cynical character for just yourself is one thing, but having a cynical character that other people can love is another thing entirely. Jesse, the main character, is so awesomely developed that I can't wait to finish this story and type it up. Also, one of my friends was around in the early days of this story when TJ, other main character, was the pessimistic one.
JulNoWriMo is going. I'm not quite where I want to be, but it is going ... not sure where though. Maybe you should check out JulNoWriMo's YouTube page where some of the members are posting vlogs. http://www.youtube.com/user/JulNoWriMo I'm not in on it, since I don't have an account or a video camera, but it is kind of cool.

Cynical ... what a cool word ...
