The Fifth Night

Well, in all technicalities (this is Camille posting here, if you were uncertain-- Nicki seems to have borrowed some of my fabulous-ness. No, I'm kidding, I'm not that narcissistic. When I say "that" I mean to say; my schoolfriends think I'm a bit (a bit is just a little bit of an understatement) of a bragger. Although, asides from that, I do have more to say. First of all; from the picture, you may notice that one of the dolls (Nicki Fleming) is wearing some Liberty Jane boots. We're quite pleased with the whole thing. This is the first thing I've ever gotten from LJC, and I have to say-- I'm quite impressed. Also; the Mint Vivacity arrived too. I don't really have any pictures because I pressed a button of the powershot and the screen went black until we fixed it; but by then it was too dark outside. So yeah..
And in the sports column we have a bit about hockey tryouts, and some about cross country running. I'm not trying to brag here.. but I cam in 5th place on the 2k run. Nicki said it is a violent sport.. which might be true. A third grader got pushed down a hill. Because he was rather small. Speaking of hills.. nevermind. My friend K. came in 4th place and my other friend C. came first! And my friend E. came twelth, and my friend I. came thirteenth. So.. as you may note, I'm very happy. :D

P.S. Thank you, Avery V. for all your comments!

More rambling updates..

Yup, the title says it all. More of me (Nicki!) rambling about life. Life, which I'm not going to waste my time defining... has been a little harsh. Harsh, harsh, harsh. Noticeably, we changed the header. Yay! I like the new one.. it says more about us. I won't go on about the whole "harsh" part, unless you want me to ramble about Camille's social life, and how it's taking a nosedive.. I'm being very vague, yes. Well, Camille celebrated her birthday this past Thursday, April 15th. Her sister gave her the Miga and Quatchi Olympic mascot key-chain-plush. Now she has all four mascots.. she's very happy about that. She got a set of oil paints.. although we'll probably never see them, since she's not allowed to use them in her bedroom. Blah.. Other than the fact that Camille just went through a whole boxed set of books this past week, and the new Lisi Harrison 'Alphas' novel, and that she had Cross Country team runoffs. She got slammed into a wall while she tried to punch someone while running. I've learned that cross country is a very violent sport.. Huh.

And, the meet is on Monday. Speaking of meets, Camille's on her school swim team, but they drained the pool where the competition's supposed to be.

And, Glee is on air again. That, if you haven't heard of it, is the coolest thing since Percy Jackson & the Olympians and Harry Potter and paintbrushes...

And, I am rambling again. So I'll just finish here with a prologue Camille wrote.

--- -------- -------- -------- -------- --- --------- -------

The world was numb. It spun too fast, too slow. It could overwhelm a tidal wave of memories. The heat was penetrating, burning through flesh. I could hear screams. Yells. Sirens wailing.

Fiery sparks of flame flashed before my eyes, destroying all that blocked its path. The paramedics yelled, pulling stretchers, screaming orders. I could feel a cold, numbing pain. It felt like death. I looked at the girl on the stretcher, her face rendered unrecognizable by the angry flames. She looked so familiar.
Then it dawned on me.

It wasn't stranger.

I was the girl lying on the stretcher; edging towards death.

The Celebration of Easter and Passover

Well.. It seems time passes quickly. Really quickly. It's already April, and there's only eleven days until Camille's Birthday, and yesterday, several, or most of the Melody Valerie Couture Spring line is sold out. We somehow, against all odds, managed to get our hands on a 'Mint Vivacity' dress, which is, of course, downright stunning. And I cannot begin to describe MVC's masterpieces, because there are no possible words to describe them. And, among other things, today, we are celebrating Easter here at Half Moon Ridge (did we mention that that is the name of the street we live on?). Gris-Gris and I got to go outside and enjoy the warm early spring weather. It was windy and sunny. There's a family of possums living under the woodpile at the side of the house. The cat, Max, isn't really allowed outside right now, due to these curious little nocturnal creatures.

Among other things, we have lots of projects, and Camille is beginning to enjoy the upsides of the Canon Powershot; although she prefers the idea of the Rebel. And also, the other day, she climbed twenty feet or so up high in the tree in her backyard. Which she claims is immensely exhilerating. Which I don't doubt, but she may have gotten her spine broken, in some cases, which would not be very good at all. And Congratulations to MVC for selling so well! :P

[Camille's Note: Street and town names in this post are entirely fictional. Some are named at things like my YouTube Channel.]

P.S. Camille wanted to say that she added her friend the Lulumelons' website to her 'Blogs of Interest' column. I don't know if it works properly.. :P But you should visit them on YouTube. They're the Lulumelons. Oddly, Camille has checked may times to see if she hallucinating, LibertyJaneClothing has subscribed to them. She also wants you all to visit 'HalfMoonLily' (aka Camille) on YouTube. I think she wants more subscribers. :P She's not a very good video-maker. Her words not mine. Except for her art. She's really proud of that.
