This is why I Love my home town

So today is, what? January 22? Dead of winter, right? Snow piled everywhere, really, really cold...

Hah.
For Ami and me, it's the beginning of spring. It was 61 degrees all day today, absolutely gorgeous. I went walking for a few hours, wandering, listening to this song. It's a good song to wander too. (Oh, and while I'm at it, all you hoopy froods should check this out. It's the 1981 TV series of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Luuuurrrrve). We have this narrow window of time between winter and summer when it's the perfect temperature all the time. It lasts about two weeks. Then it's summer and everything gets hot and brown and dead. So I decided to make the most of it. I walked to Olive Tree lane:And sat in a tree all day. Reading The Odyssey. It's surprisingly good. Plus, If I'm hoping to pass the test, it's probably a good idea to maybe actually read the book, you think? Then, I walked up and down looking ridiculous jumping after olives. Once I get more than one thermos full (I had brought some tea, then when I finished it, I put olives in the thermos. Okay?) I'm going to cure them. Maybe with brine.

One last thing, a shout out to my friend Bri, who I met through Screnzy last April. Haaaaaiiiii!! *waves* You should all check out her vlog.
Okay, that's it for now. See ya'

Chez! Also known as Cheese

I find it slightly ironic that despite the title of our blog (I Want Cheese) we have never had one single post about cheese.
Ringy and I came up with this title while hiking at Putah Creek, discussing lunch, which consisted of bread, apples, brownies and cheese. While eating we talked about many things including our food, we then realized that this lunch was much better than any lunch we had ever eaten. We also learned that the phrase, 'I want cheese' can be applied to any situation. Whether you are hungry, or need to play a prank or even if you have a lack of conversation, cheese comes up, because cheese can cure anything.
Thus, my explanation for the phrase 'I want cheese' ends. Farewell till the next time!

O Come all Ye Faithful to Christmas

Well, here's my continuation of my Christmas post from a while ago, more like a few days but who cares! Anyhoo, here are some pictures of the Christmas tree and me in my PJ's!

O' Christmas Days O' Christmas Days...

Well, I am very happy to say that Christmas is only four days away. Can you believe it? 4 DAYS AWAY!!!!!!!!!! Anyhoo...I'll post more about it later, gotta go, bye!

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!!
