I Finished!

Ok, anyone remember that post where I said I was working on a drawing, and all my friends wanted to see it, but it wasn't done yet? WELL, I'm DONE! Er, well, almost. Its missing a few tiny details. I wish to have my friends write their names on one of the walls in the picture. I don't know I could live without them, so I feel its important to have them included on what makes me happy. I'll talk to them tomarrow, and get them to write on it. Then, maybe, just maybe, I MIGHT post the picture. I'm not sure I want to... But I did work hard. Its full of shading, and detail, and I'm surprised I was the one who drew it! I knew I was ok at times, but I didn't realize how good I could be if I put my mind to it. =)

A. Convince me to post or not to post my picture.
B. Ever draw? What are you good at drawing? Better yet, what do you LIKE drawing?

I need a good book...

I'm bored. I'm in need of a good book. A great book. A FANTASTIC BOOK! But I've read all the ones in my bookshelf, and unfortunately, I can't go to the library. Plus, I've read all the good ones there too. >.<

Well, since we are on the topic of good books, and I have read so many (in other words, I don't have a life), I will share my favorite books and series with you.

Alex Rider Series: Anthony Horowitz- its like a Young version of James Bond XD
Ranger's Apprentice: John Flanagan- Takes place in the middle ages, and is terrific!!!!!
Hardy Boys Series: Franklin W. Dixon- Sorry, but its a classic
Dragon Rider: Cornelia Funke- Good author, wrote many good books. Try Thief Lord and Inkheart too.
Steel Trapp: The challenge: Ridley Pearson- My God, this was a good book! I read it last year, and I'm desperately looking to see if he has made a second one... EEEEP!!!!!!! FOUND IT! The Academy... I MUST READ IT!
Dragons in our Midst Series: Bryan Davis- This person made 2 series. This was the first series, but the second one had a prequel to this series... What was it called... Ah, yes. Eye of the Oracle, I do believe.

And, a newer series, but fabulous...
I.Q. (first book, Independence Hall): By Roland Smith, also wrote Zach's Lie, and Jack's Run. The second book in the I.Q. Series comes out June.

Now, I must find that second Steel Trapp book... I HAVE TO READ IT!!!!!! I should probably get my brother hooked on the series as well....

Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? And/or What books do you like?

OW!

Shoot, my ankle still hurts.... Lol, guess I should explain why it hurts at all. ^^;

Friday, I had a blast. I hung out with a lot of friends, both guys and girls. We played this game that we call Trashcan (some people call it something else, but the name escapes me at the moment...). Its this game, where everyone is holding hands in a circle, and they try to do everything possible to make somebody touch the trashcan, or break hands. If either of those things happen, the person (or persons) is/are out. ITS FUN! But like i said, its co-ed. And none of the other girls decided to play. >.< So we (as in, the guys and I) were playing, and this guy twice my size tripped and fell on my ankle. It was one direction, it popped or cracked (can't remember, it hurt too much), then it was another direction. It hurt like hell... BUT, that wouldn't stop me from playing. After I got over the pain, they wanted me to sit out. ME?! PSH! These people should know me better. I never, EVER, back down from a game of Trashcan. So, I spent the rest of my time hopping around, trying not to put pressure on my injured ankle. Then, a stupid twerp tried to trip me, so I'd touch the trashcan. WELL, I am not easily tripped. So, he kicked the back of my GOOD leg, and it didn't go anywhere, it just hurt. Stupid dweeb. Oh, and I ended up winning a couple rounds. Against people twice my size, and 5 times my strength. Yay for agility! XD

Anywho, that was Friday, now its Tuesday. I had spent the rest of Friday night icing my foot, and the majority of Saturday and Sunday doing the same thing. And its STILL swollen. I just can't get a break. Oh well. XP Totally worth it. GIRLS RULE!

*Side note: I mentioned last week I like comments. So, in order to encourage more comments, I've decided to try and get into the habbit of giving a "comment starter" for those who feel like commenting, just don't know what about, in hopes that people will start to comment more. WISH ME LUCK!

Haha, BTW...

Lol, okay, I must be honest. I LOVE IT when people comment on my lame posts. I get very excited and over joyed. XD SO, that being said, please, feel free to comment. And when I see your comment, I will write back. ;) Its just a thing I do. Can't help myself. If you don't know what to say, just tell me something about that subject. Like, under music, if you didn't like the music I posted, then you could tell me some you do like. I wouldn't mind if we had different views on things. In fact, I'd probably listen to it. =)

(Oh, but if you do comment, please, be nice and appropriate. THANKS!)

Beautiful SONG!

Sorry, another song, can't help myself! We were singing it in choir, and then I found it on YouTube and ITS GORGEOUS!!!!!!! Its a romantic song, not upbeat, so I'm surprised I liked it so much (and I'd be surprised if I found anyone else who liked it), but hey, surprises is what life is made of. (PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU LIKE IT TOO! XD And, tell me what makes you like it). I love the gracefulness of the song, and how different the words are than ones commonly used today, such as "cloy" and "mien", and just how the all the words are said. They remind me of old text... Like in books that take place in the middle ages and stuff! XD Aaaand, my favorite lines in the song are "So fierce the transports are, they wound! They wound... They wound..." Haha, I like the big crescendo and the decrescendo...

Anywho, the song is called If Music be the Food of Love. Text is by Henry Heveningham, and the music is by David Dickau.

aaaaaaaand, of course, the link to this wonderful song on you-tube:
