Tarnished Silver

So, still on a Heather Dale kick, and this song is absolutely beautiful!  Enjoy!

Apparently it's about the reconciliation between Arthur and Morgana as she takes him to Avalon.  Super pretty!

Fare thee well, friend!

Staaaar Treeeeek!!!

Oh my badness, just saw the new Star Trek movie and OH MY BADNESS!!!!  So awesome!  Such great story-telling, they tied it together really well in the end!  And then the million twists with Khan!  Benedict Cumberbatch is a man of many talents (don't believe me, see Sherlock!).  So good. :)

Fare thee well, friend!

Shamless Plug

Hey guys, there is an absolutely amazing book coming out on Amazon on Friday called "The Swan Prince" by Danielle Shipley.  How do I know it's amazing?  Because she posted an excerpt from it on her blog, http://everonword.wordpress.com, and from what I can tell, she has a really fun writing style (as in, really knows her characters well.  Personally, I can't wait to buy it!  As soon as I actually get an account on Amazon...

Fare thee well, friend!

Cookies for Lunch...

Is a really bad idea.  Why?  Because they are not very substantial.  You get hungry, then cranky, then when you get home from work you eat anything you can find (which, four days after your birthday, generally involves chocolate). 
Moral of the story?  When you plan on using your lunch break for something other than lunch, remember to bring lunch with you.

Fare thee well, friend!

Late

I have officially joined the ranks of dedicated writers.  Why?  Because I stayed up past one in the morning writing.
Yeah, probably not my brightest idea, but hey, I don't have to work today, so why not?  And I got a lot done!
Something tells me I'm gonna be feeling this later, though. ;)

Fare thee well, friend!

Birthday Fun (or David Tenant in My Closet)

So, I said yesterday I don't usually do much for my birthday.  However, it seems other people do.  You see, I had gone to Panda Express for lunch (I love that place) when I got a text from Kay asking when I would get back, so she could heat up left-overs she had and we could eat together.  As I was already in the drive-through, I told her I would be home in, like, five minutes (yes, I am using "like" in text, don't judge me!).  I thought on it no more, but when I finally made it up to my apartment door, I was surprised to see streamers spelling "Happy Birthday" all over it.  I couldn't help but grin, as I assumed it was another friend who tends to decorate my doors.  However, when I walked in, I discovered there was more inside.  There were blue and white streamers everywhere, and on the table was a cake and several presents, including a stuffed Mushu from the Disney store.  I was starting to get a sneaking suspicion about who was really behind this (Mia had been asking me who my favorite Disney character was).
There was one small problem.  I knew that if Mia was in on this, so was Kay... and I couldn't find Kay!  She was neither in the living room, nor her bedroom.  I did, however, notice that there were more streamers hanging from my bedroom doorframe.  I peeked into my room...
And started laughing.
There was a cardboard cut-out of David Tenant standing in my closet, giving me that look with the one eyebrow raised and his arms folded.  Then Kay popped out from behind my fencing bag, and Mia came out from the dresses in the closet, and we all had lunch and cake and it was awesome!
Thanks for making such an awesome birthday, guys!

Fare thee well, friend!

Birthday!

Gah, I am so sorry I forgot to post yesterday!  There was fencing... and Merlin... and life is crazy... Yeah, sorry about that.
In other news, guess what today is?  IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!!!
Not that I have many plans.  New jeans, Panda Express for lunch, and dinner with Mom and Dad tonight.  But I still have the library to go to (which I am so not complaining about), and it's not like life is on hold.  I really don't do much for birthdays.  :)
Still, Kay gave me a beautiful gift, a lovely selection of earrings and a locket.  :)  I'm very happy.

Fare thee well, friend!
