HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!

The title kind of gives itself away...so I don't have much to say in this post except for HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I had a pretty fun time eating cake and munching on salad while drinking sparkling cider and then playing Clue afterwards and then taking a walk down to the library at 11:30PM and going back to my friend's house....yeah, it was fun and I described it all in one long tangled up, weirdly worded sentence.
Ciao y'all and I hope 2011 is treating you good!

#3's Modeling Agency/Company continued...I'm having so much fun!

Just gonna post the pictures, the post below will explain! Actually, I do need to explain. These modeling pictures, unlike the ones below, are far more recent. You can tell by the fact that #3 had all of her hair chopped off. Still looks good though!

What do you guys think?

Beautiful clouds a wonderful daytrip...what more could I ask for?

Some pictures of when me and my mom and sister went out near Rio Vista, hope you guys love the clouds and all the pictures!!

Winter Break...to some, Christmas Break and to others, Holiday Break

So, today was the last day of school for two weeks, in fact, two weeks of doing nothing but sleeping in, hanging out with friends and eating yummy food, and of course, opening presents. (Who could forget that?) Alas, there are no pictures, because, for this post, everything that I tell you, can be told in words and pictures are not necessary. When I got out a school I was yelling at the top of my lungs, shouting things like, "Merry Christmas", "Happy Kwanzaa", "Happy Hanukkah", Happy Halloween", Happy Christmas", "Merry New Years..." Yeah, random stuff like that. Hey, you can't blame me, surviving on 4-2 hours of sleep per night wasn't really my plan for the past few months! But still, it was super duper uber fun...uber...I like that word...I also like ellipses...if you didn't notice...Okay, I gotta go, preparing for a party!!! 

Fudge and all that yumminess

So, yesterday I went up to Chico to see my cousin and we made...drumroll please(!)...FUDGE and COOKIES!!! Both of course, are the most amazing foods in the world. I mean, who doesn't like fudge? Didn't take any pictures, at least, not on the digital camera - I did on my Leica though... - but still, I had the best time. We listened to Christmas music, and danced around and made cookies and fudge and then went to my cousin's exhibit at the CSU (Chico State University) museum-ish place.
*NOTE*: And on a side note...I got an early Christmas present, it was the Leica, as mentioned above. It's a small Leica CL, really amazing little thing, maybe I'll post a pic of it later but, I love it to death (can't you tell I don't have life?) and love taking pictures with it!
*NOTE#2*: Also, if you want to tell who's posting, just look down at the Labels below and it should say either, #1, #2, or #3. Just a little tip. Oh and BTW, this is #2!!

End of Nanowrimo...so sad

So, three days ago (sorry it's late to those nonexistant readers) Nanowrimo ended and I reached, not 30,000, not 40,000, not 50,000 but 62,789 words. In. A. Month. Cool huh? Anyhoo, I had tons of fun writing it and now that my novel City Lights on the Water is done, I'll have to think of something else. Below is an excerpt and a synopsis. Oh, and one more thing, on the YWP Nanowrimo site, my username is Ami.

City Lights on the Water

Ben Channing and Olivia Trent are dancers. But they are completely different. Ben Channing has had no professional training, all the training he’s ever had was on the streets of San Francisco. Olivia Trent, on the other hand, is from a well-to-do family and attends a small state of the art private school in New York where she studies mainly classical ballet with a mix of hip hop. But after a car crash that leaves her mom dead and Olivia unable to dance, everything changes. Olivia’s dad suddenly comes into the picture, a man she hasn’t seen or talked to in the past five years and takes her back to San Francisco with him, hoping to make things better, but instead, making them worse. When Olivia and Ben’s worlds collide, the two immediately are drawn together and what seems like the end is only the beginning of a roller-coaster ride of emotion and a twist nobody will see coming.

Excerpt

Prologue
The first time I saw someone dance was when my momma took me to the Coppeilia ballet. When I saw those dancers glide across the stage like swans, I knew what I was going to be when I grew up. Ever since that day, when I was five, I just kept on dancing, I never stopped, it was like the world revolved around me and dancing, it was like there was nothing else, at least, there was nothing else until the day my momma died, then I realized that maybe dancing wasn’t everything. It was time I woke up and saw the world in front of me, not the fairytale that I had been living my entire life.

And here is my winner's badge!!

Woohoo!!!

Well....I have some AMAZING news!!!!
I am now officially 80% of the way done with my word count goal,which is 50,000 words long, pretty awesome huh? I have 40k done and just need to get to 50k by midnight of November 30th!!!

New Post...finally?

So....after about 3 MONTHS of abandoning this I have decided to come back (# 2 here) and tell all you invisible people that Nanowrimo has officially started and it is officially day 4 of this month long book writing project. Pretty cool huh? Anyhoo, at the moment I have 6,465 words and about 11 or 12 pages, still need to check. I will give y'all my summary later on in the month. See you later!

Mendocino...finally

More Nano! Well...extra Nano

Sooo....about my Mendocino trip and 4th of July, I'll post those pics later when I can find the camera and when updates aren't clogging the comp! Anyways, yesterday (July 13th) I was on a role. So you guys know how #1 and I and sometimes #3 do this program called Nanowrimo,National Novel Writing Month - takes place in November...) Well, yesterday I decided that I wanted to work on 2009's nano book. I was so absorbed in the writing that by the time I had to go to bed I had written 7,590 words!!! There was a total of 120k or for those of you who don't know what the 'k' means, then I had 120,166 words and 201 computer pages, if it were in book format my book would have 408 pages. I mean, not to brag or anything...
