Laughter

Hi, everyone. I realize we haven't updated in a while.. sorry. We have a lot to do.. besides which; Camille has been busy. With her sketchbook. And sits in front of the television. Watching reruns of 'The Vampire Diaries'. And draws while she listens to Elena and Caroline and Bonnie and Stefan and Damon and Jeremy and.. and.. I don't actually remember all the character names.. :D
In other news.. Camille got her bottom braces on. Did we mention that she has braces? I guess not.. But, I'll move onto a more pleasant topic. Books! [No, we're not doing proper paragraphs and all that jazz here today. Much too lazy.] Most people have read Harry Potter, I believe. Really, honestly, reading J.K. Rowling's books will be the best thing you ever do with your life. Aside from publishing your own books.. and getting a job and a family. When you're older. Although I think some people dislike the she Rowling writes in third person.., I believe that they're biased. [I'm not! I read anything with some semblance of a plot that I can get my hands on!] The books are really magic. Metaphorically speaking. And then; I suggest you read Rick Riordan's novels. The Percy Jackson & The Olympians series was fabulous. And tomorrow, his first book of a new series, The Kane Chronicles, is out in stores. It sounds interesting. I think it's centered around Egyptian Mythology, rather than Greek Mythology. And another fairly good author is Erin Hunter. Who is actually three different writers. Pretty cool, huh? She writes the Seekers series and the Warrior[cat]s Series. And then.. there is Melissa de la Cruz.. author of the Blue Bloods series. And Lisi Harrison, author of The Clique, and Alphas. Then there is Sarah Dessen.. she writes many good books. And.. hmm. I'm trying to think of more. And just to mention this; the vampire novels are rather 'edgy' compared to others.. Oh. Wait. Here's another good author: Ally Carter. Author Of the Heist Society series and the Gallagher Girls series. I've written a little more than I intended to. Ah well. Congrats to Sitara from Mari Luna's Wonderful Blog at opening her Etsy shop; and finishing her movie, Cloak and Dagger. I think that is it. Sort of.

P.S. The cat in the picture is Pud, Camille's family's first cat. Well as a family. Her parents grew up on farms that had many cats. Her dad only ever got to really named one cat, who he named Baba Looey, after the character from the Quick Draw McGraw television show. And her mom's favourite cat; a pure white female, was called Bobby. I thought that was kinda funny.
P.P.S. (or P.S.S., I'm not sure which one it is) You can see Camille's legs and crocs in the picture of Pud. It would be helpful if you just look at Pud.

  1. Sounds like we have similar taste in books. I l-o-v-e Harry Potter. I went through a phase about two years ago where I was pretty much obsessed with it - I made all my dolls wizards and renamed them after HP characters, I pre-ordered "Deathly Hallows" and went to a release party @ midnight for it with my friend (which was fun), etc. etc. I love the Lightning Thief as well & I actually just started the Red Pyramid (Kane Chronicles) today. (My sister got it for her b-day. The author is going to be at a bookstore in town next week and we might go & get the book signed! Fun!) It's good. I also like Sarah Dessen's books & the Gallagher Girls series is awesome, as well. :D

    Oh, and I had braces too, and they aren't fun, but I got them off about a month ago and it's rewarding, I guess. :) I have to wear a retainer now for a few more months, though. Ah, well.

    Whew, long spiel. :P
