I'm terrible at thinking of titles...

To all my adoring fans (I've always wanted to say that):

Yes, I'm back now. I'm still not going to be doing the book blogs for a while, and I may or may not finish 100 Cupboards. Skandar is doing a whole lot better (I'll explain on one of the open threads) and thank you all so much for your love and support (ya'll sparklers are some of the best people i "know"). I didn't expect the response to my return to be that exciting--I mean, i got a whopping 4 COMMENTS in a single DAY! Not kidding, I think that's the best I've done (cus I am a lame blogger who just needs something to do). If yall want me to answer some more questions and take more lame quizes, just email them to me at

randomhomeschooler@yahoo.com

Now, for the actual thingy I wanted to tell you people about:

I think I am going to make a Spark-family tree. If you are part of a Spark-family, please send me your family last name (make one up) and your relatives. I'll send it to the Sparknotes editors, and hopefully it'll end up on an Open Thread or get a Friward or something. Thanks, guys!

Ouch

I went to my weekly archery lesson on a couple days ago, and there, I discovered something that might change my life forever: NEVER under ANY circumstances hold your bow crooked--when you shoot the arrow, the string will smack your arm (the sensitive part) at roughly 70 mph (for me, a weak little girl who can only pull 6 lbs). I now have a welt the size of a funsize Milky Way (TM) bar on the underside of my left forearm. Not to mention that my right arm muscles hurt from having to hold the bow still.

Peace, Love, and Non-Dangerous Bows,

Wakwy

P.S. I'm thinking of cancelling my second blog, My Thoughts Upon Reading, because no one reads it. If you do read it don't want me to cancel, you have exactly one week to say so.

Okay, I'm Back!

Hi Sparklers/Non-Sparklers/Random People Who I Don't Know! I'm back from my out of town trip to Ohio (I went to visit family). Since it was my birthday weekend I got gifts!

1. A decorated rock that has my middle name on it.
Um, okay then...not sure how I'll use it, but its the thought that counts!

2. A shirt thats too big for me and not my color.
Dang.

3. A sewing machine.
SCORE!!!! I know I sound like--whatever I sound like--but I actually know how to sew, so i was pretty happy about getting this gift.

4. A bag full of bath stuff.
YES!!! And it's handmade and all natural!

5. $20
YAY!! Starbucks fund!

P.S. My b-day's today--I demand a lifetime supply of Starbucks, and (since he's awesome, but probably doesn't read this blog) a flash-fiction story from Scott-Free/That Guy From Ergo.

Double P.S: OMG my friend just gave me a mega itunes gift card!!!! ME HAPPY!!!! Thank you! (you know who you are)

I Feel Powerful...

This past Monday, I started archery classes. IT WAS AWESOME!! I had this awesome bow, and the arrows were lime green. And guess what? I (almost) HIT THE BULLSEYE!! On my first try! Sorry for all the !'s, but I'm really happy. Holding a bow and drawing it back gives you this feeling of all-powerfulness; I imagine that's what Legolas feels like, or Queen Susan from Narnia.

I have noticed in myself a strange gravitation to the ancient arts, like archery, chess, knitting, and (gasp) breadbaking. Does this mean I'm an old soul? Or that I'm too mature? Or that I'm just wierd? I personally vote for that last...anyway, I'm giving a Sparkler Shout-Out to Alygirlrockz16 because she knits!

And a non-Sparkler Shout-Out to my friend Sandy, who also knits, and plays crochet (I probably didn't spell that right).

Another NSO to my friend Gabby, who is simply awesome (if a little psycotic)

And another NSO to my friend R (I don't have permission to use her name), who is usually in cahoots with me and Gabby in our crazy capers (that is so much fun to say).

A Sparkler Shout-Out to Skyskwirl417 at BLOG because he's getting be-meaned-to by certain Sparklers (girls, we can't be mean to the dudeklers--they might leave! They should feel welcome. And we all know the Sparknotes dude/dudet ratio...happy Skwirl?)

Sparkler Shout-Out to Gummybeararmygeneral at GBBAAAR for having a totally awesome name! And for making a blog that promises gummybears!

Sparkler Shout-Out to Coffinmaker, aka Scott-Free or Scotty, at Ergo, for just being awesome, and because his blog is "gettin' busy".

Sparkler Shout-Out to zach nelson, because he has an awesomely cute baby sister!
