If I was going to die...

I don't know why, but I've been thinking about how I would feel and what I would do if I found out I was going to die.

When I first found out about it, I would probably be quite shocked at first, then I'd cry for a while, then I'd realize that if I'm going to die soon, I'd better have the best time of my life RIGHT NOW.

My number one worry would be how sad my family would be when I was gone, so I'd probably spend a lot of time trying to convince them not to worry. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to die, I want to live to 154 and see my great grandkids, but I'm not scared of death... I'm actually sort of looking forwards to the rest after a hopefully long and happy life.

I'd probably type Kings of Darkness up like crazy... I'd have to condense all the four books I plan to write into one, and I might not even finish that in time. I would probably ask Dear Sister to finish it for me.

Another worry of mine is that Brother1 and 2 wouldn't remember me. That would devastate me. I'd want to be a part of their life... Someone that they would love and adore and remember forever. Brother1 would probably remember me a bit, but #2...

Anyways, what got me thinking of this? I don't know. But, I'm definitely glad I'm going to live!

Happy Thanksgiving!

I love thanksgiving. My favorite part is that Daddy gets to stay home for FOUR WHOLE DAYS!!!!!!!!! It's wonderful.
Also, I love the food. Normally, we would make a divine vegan thanksgiving (with tofurky--my personal favorite--and corn and mashed potatoes and bunches of other stuff), but we're all going on a diet for my joint pains so we're sort of skipping that part.


Things to be thankful for:

1. My most wonderful family.
2. A nice cozy house.
3. A computer (hehe).
4. That I have delicious and healthy food.
5. That the sky is blue (I love that color; if it were any other it just wouldn't be right).
6. That Nana is coming over today.
7. That Dear Sister and I are so very close.
8. That my two little brothers are so wonderful.
9. That my parents are so supporting and loving.
10. And most of all, I'm thankful to be me. I wouldn't be anyone else, anywhere else, for anything.

Red Rose and Piano

A long time ago, I took up the Violin. I still think it's one of the most beautiful sounding instruments in the world, but I wasn't able to keep up with it... The teacher we had loved was replaced, and things just kept coming up until it had been quite a few years since I played a note on that wonderful instrument.


Dear Sister and I have a band--Red Rose--and we have some pretty cool songs down. Unfortunately, we don't have any music, just vocals. Rose started learning guitar recently, and we were hoping she could play for our band. As lovely as a guitar sounds, we both thought there should be something more... I'm not sure exactly how it was brought up, but somehow, we all ('we all' being my family and I) started thinking about me learning to play piano... and it just so happens that Dear Sister's and my Singing Instructor also teaches that instrument! It was so convenient we couldn't resist, and now I'm learning to play. It's really confusing, trying to get my hands to play different parts, but I think I'm getting it! Hopefully Rose and I will get good enough with our respective instruments that we can actually write some music for our songs... maybe I'll post one, one of these days...

With love,

Friday Fillins #32

Here we go! Another round of Friday Fillins!

1. The last band I saw live was River Dance, quite a few years ago, if that counts.
2. What I look forward to most on Thanksgiving is that wonderful holiday feel!(if you don't celebrate thanksgiving, insert your favorite holiday)
3. My Christmas/holiday shopping is stressful, usually, but the holidays are worth it.
4. Thoughts of joy, love and laughter fill my head.
5. I wish I could wear thick sweats and a flattering turtleneck so I could be warm, but unfortunately, I'm clear out of both. We need to do the laundry.
6. Bagpipes sound really cool, I think.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to hanging out with Daddy and eating some pizza (no cheese, no meat of course) tomorrow my plans include spending the night with Nana (YEAH!!!) and Sunday, I want to be wonderfully happy to come home (which no doubt I will)!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

I've been making waffles for breakfast a lot lately, and I'm actually getting pretty good at it. It's taken quite a bit, but I think I finally have it down, and combined with Mom's almond-buttery-just-perfectly-cinnamony syrup, you've got something really good.

Something else that's absolutely divine is some home made Caroboca (hot coca, only with carob, and soymilk instead of chocolate and milk. We didn't have any chocolate so we used the carob) with a hand-made Candy Cane from Fred Meyers, either suck the drink through the candy cane, or just dip it.

Mmmmmmmm....

Latin is amazing

You wouldn't believe how much fun I have, just sitting down and reading and learning this old language... I want to learn more words... I need to know it all... I just want to read more and more! I want learn it! I just dive into the words and come out with knowledge... I've never been this absorbed in a non-fiction book in my entire life. I'm amazed.

Get it. Read it. Learn Latin. You'll love it.

(the book is "Getting Started With Latin" by William E. Linney, by the way)

A fool is not one who makes mistakes...

...but one who makes the same mistake twice.

Sometimes, I can be foolish.

My Book Blog

I've had a book blog--A Book Worm's Journey--for quite some time, but I've never made an official "Post" about it, so here it is!

I started my book blog so I could keep track of the books I read, and see which ones I liked. I also made it so other people could skip over books they wouldn't like, and find books they might. My opinion to certain stories isn't necessarily the same that others would have, so I try to make my reviews describe about the details of the book, so you could decide whether or not it's your type, rather than just saying "this is a good book. I really liked it. Read it now." or "I hated this book. It's a real dud.".

Anyways, there's a link on my side-bar, as well as on this post, so hopefully you can come and see it!
