I was being creepy again...

Ok, so this blog is pretty much just another picture dump. With commentary, because I actually did a few intersting things recently.
The last time I blogged was the day before my birthday. Well, on my actual birthday I got a hamster. Totally not planned. I walked in intending to buy bunny food and ended up coming home with two hamsters. One of them is my sisters, but the other one, Jace, is mine. Isn't she adorable?

She looks kind of like a stuffed animal in that one though XD

She doesn't particularly like me very much yet, but we're working on that.

And my sister's hamster, Max...

It's not a very clear picture, but that's really how she looks most of the time.

She likes eating. A lot.

Including houses.

And Bree, my sister's hamster.

For the record, if you were thinking it, she's not fat.

She's a bear hamster. A really, really big bear hamster.

All her pictures come out blurry because she never stops moving.

Ever.

She really likes Cheetos.

They're the best you can get for special occasions.

Except for Pork Roast and pancakes. Mmmm.

Yes, if you didn't know, hamsters are obnivores. They do, indeed, eat meat if you let them.

They really, really love Bacon.

And here's my other dog, Leah. I have no idea how, but I haven't put any pictures of her up yet.

First creepy thing I did this week: Took pictures of creepy fish.

I thought their little devillike red eyes were cool, so I took a picture.

On the fifth, I went and got the two books I've been dying to read.

Where she went- Gayle Forman

CITY OF FALLEN ANGELS- Cassandra Clare

CoFA was in caps because I've been really, really hyper about that one.

Trust me, it lived up to the hype I created. A-MAZ-ING

Ok, so you might've heard that Maggie Steifvater was in Fredricksburg last Thursday for a dinner and book signing. I live about an hour away, so I jumped on the chance and went. To sum it up, it was pretty cool.

This was on the drive down.

The cool thing about this photo?

I took it out of the closed car window. While the car was moving at about 30 MPH.

It came out pretty clear, didn't it?

That one too.

Second creepy thing I did this weekend: Took pictures of a cemetary...

Ok, yeah, taking pictures of a cemetary is creepy, but it's a really cool cemetary.

I love the gate and the tree.

I was sitting in the drive-through line for McDonalds and saw it.

But right after I took the picture I started being a hypocrite.

Someone had fake dead body parts in the grill of their jeep and I called it creepy.

So yeah...

When I found out about the event, the dinner tickets were sold out, so I ate on the way.

Only to get there and find out they had a bunch of extra dinners and were giving it them to the people who didn't order dinner tickets.

So I'd already eaten, but they had cake.... and I really like cake.

My copy of Shiver and the really good cake.

So, after the dinner Maggie gave a really, really cool speach. It was hilarious >.< XD Then she did a book signing.

And wait, here's the cool part...

She took photographs with the fans 0-0

I got my picture taken with Maggie Steifvater.

It was freaking awesome.

Only, unfortuantely, I'm not allowed to put the pictures up because I'm not allowed to put pictures of myself up without my mom's concent and she isn't home =P Drat.

But I do have more pictures.

Third creepy thing I did... I took pictures of her reserved parking sign.

Yeeeeah, I kind of stalked her while she was there. I waited in line twice to get both Shiver and Linger signed. And then went and took pictures of the sign. I was going to take some pictures of her car too, but her actual car broke down so it was a rental.

The rental wasn't quite as cool as Loki.

My copy of Shiver.

Signed my Maggie.

And adressed to me.

*Screams for a little while*

And while I'm at it, my signed copy of Linger.

Ok, so I didn't really do anything else cool, but...

I opened a pickle jar. All by myself.

No hammer included ;) XD

This is my bunny, Loppy lugs.

He's just kind of eating some bread.

And being a bunny.

Might I add a very cute bunny XD

Random picture, but I like the shadow effect.

These are my favorite sneakers.

You might have noticed they don't match.

Apparently that was on purpose.

I have acomplished what my mom deems to be an impossible feat.

I got a picture of my dog looking straight at the camera.

and while lying under a deck chair.

She looks kind of nervous though.

Cool picture of the tree in my back yard and the sun.

Random squirrel.

I love squirrels.

When the squirrelpocalypse comes around, they're going to spare me.

Because I'm going to be a squirrel photographer XD

And that's me. Kind of.

It's actually my reflection.

And Izzy. ^-^

So that it. For now at least. And now... I'm off to write Frozen. Laters, peeps.

Ima share my world, just a little

Ok, so I was kind of freaking out last blog. Remember, the whole WHAT AM I GOING TO DO, AHHHHH! That sound familiar? Well, I've chilled out *fistpump* I'll have to edit the format a little, and there were a lot of typos I didn't catch, but since I'm self publishing I've got nothing to worry about :D
So, today, I had fun with my new camera. It's a Canon PowerShot SX130 IS, if that means anything to camera-knowledgeable people out there. It's very professional looking.

Ok, so on to random pictures of random things. That's what blogs are for, right?

Here's my dog being a weirdo.

I think my brother had a brownie.

Hence her staring.

Guess where my brother was standing.

My dog wouldn't look at the camera.

So I went and found the fish.

They ran away at first, then came back to get their pictures taken.

The big orange fish is Yoda, and the little one is still unnamed.

Here's the tree in my front yard. Pretty, no?

And here's the flowery tree thing in my sideyard

And a dandylion. The shoes are my sisters, btw. I thought the picture would come out cool that way.

There's Kyle with Darkest Ebony. They're friends already :D

In the background is my good friend Mr. iPod and Chuck.

Chuck is my alarmclock.

I threw him at the wall once and for three days he was dead.

On the fourth day he kept beeping.

Then I took his batteries out XD

The back cover of DE. It took about ten minutes to do, but I think it looks nice 8D

LOOK!!!

ISBN number.

It's on private right now, but soon if I look it up on Amazon.com it will come up.

Too cool.

I went to Borders today and bought a couple of books I'd been dying to get copies of.

(In order from top to bottom)

If I stay- Gayle Forman

Paranormalcy- Kiersten White

NightShade- Andrea Cremer

If you haven't red these books, I strongly reccomend them.

And, last but not least... *drumroll*

My laptop, Eva.

I've written ALL my books on it. I don't know what I'd do without her.

So that's it for now. I'll probably post more pictures tomorrow, if I feel like it. Definitely more on Tuesday :D If I'm not too busy reading CoFA to put pictures of it up, of course.

Peace, Love, and Vampire Diaries peeps!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok. So I'm still trying to grasp this... but Darkest Ebony got self published.
OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGHOWOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGURGLEFLURGLE*FLAILS*
*restrains self*
Yep. My birthday is on monday, so my parents had it self published for me. I have a copy of my book sitting right in front of me and I can't stop picking it up and messing with it. It's super surreal.

See that?

That's my book.

In print.

*screams and pulls hair out*

I'm probably sending mixed signals. Am I happy or upset or whatever. The truth is, I'm kind of numb. Like, totally in shock. Like seeing your own grave or something. I really wanted to get it picked up by a real publishing company and go through all that, and self-publishing is a pretty good way to see that you don't get published unless your book does phenomenally well. However, I'm thrilled at the same time. It's absolutely insane to see your book in print sitting next to you.

Yeah, that's DE sitting on my bookshelf. Right next to City of Bones. EEEEP.

Oh, and you might notice that I've actually got relevant pictures on my stuff up. What's up with that?

Well, because I got a camera too. Awesome, isnt it?

And the good news is I know how to work this one. So I'll (hopefully) be putting pictures up more often. You know, pictures I didn't find on the net.

And so, because I'm trying to keep my mind off the fact that my 'natural market' for publishing is hosed and the fact that I'm actually a published author (daunting 0-0) I'm going to put up some random pictures I took today.

This is my dog Bella looking confused.

Actually, I just shouted "Hungry" (her trigger word meaning "I'm going to feed you now.")

She looked right at the camera though. Hehe. I feel mean, but she's sleeping now.

And here's Bella making a dumb face. She does that a lot.

Here's a picture of my bookshelf. I'm going to have to get another one soon.

And here's my quote (famous around my house ;) Writers are dreamers with eyes open.

My mom decided my wall needed redecorating and put it up. I, personally, adore the font.

So thats it ^-^ Very epic. I'll blog again after I chill out a little, so laters peeps!!!
