The wounds obviously haven't healed yet.

I think she was absolutely right on this one.

See? I do SO update my blog!

Not, you know, a LOT, but hey. Let's take what we can get here, right?

Just wanted to check in (albeit briefly) to let all (maybe) seven of you, my readers, know that I am in fact not dead. And I do still remember that I have this blog. And I even post to it occasionally. I'm hoping to make those occasions slightly more frequent, but since school just started back up again (for those of you keeping track, this is my second year of law school) I'm pretty much scheduled up to the gills so I can't make too many promises. Since blogging requires time and all that.

But, yeah, abi, I do still post here sometimes. :)


P.S. If anyone is actually reading this, would you mind leaving a comment? Because if nobody is actually reading this I don't have to feel quite so guilty about not posting, right? Right? Anyone? Bueller?

Aha!

Just wanted to smugly inform you all that the correct answer is blue.

And now I'm going to bed. Way too late (early?) to be up right now.

OCD much?

I'm glad to see that there is a new, rising generation of obsessive-compulsives out there. In Primary today they played a game with construction-paper stepping stones leading from the back of the room to the front to symbolize keeping the commandments. Each class got a turn to walk across, stepping on the stones.

And after each child had stomped, jumped or skipped on the paper stones, no less than three children ran up to the path to replace, straighten, and adjust.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does stuff like that.

Wow.

Yup.

Just finished Breaking Dawn.

Way to go, Steph.

Not only did you do an amazing job of tying off the massive amounts of loose ends left over from the first three books, along with taking a HUGE step forward in bringing your writing skills closer up to the level of your storytelling capabilities, but you've also achieved what I thought was a complete impossibility.

You've finally made me like -- and maybe even love -- your main character.

And I loved every minute of it.

Thank you.

DUDE.

You MUST click here. Immediately. Because it will disappear on the 20th of July.

But it will be oh so worth your time.
