@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise AUGH!!! No! No lakes anywhere around us! Nowhere for miles and miles and miles! Thank you! Hello! Goodbye! Good morning! *slams door*

@kate-flournoy Argh. Well… any good lakes by you? Maybe we can just kidnap you for the day sometime. 😀 (As long as they aren’t in some way connected to the see, since there’s this shark that’s getting used to freshwater and swimming up the Mississippi… there was actually a shark attack in Lake Michigan once. I’m not kidding. 😛 )

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Elaine? The Lady of Shalott?

@hope YES!! I love sinking to the bottom. At Quaker Haven, @anne-of-lothlorien and I would sink to the bottom and lay there very dramatically like that one character in literature somewhere whose name is currently eluding me… 😉 It’s also really cool to see how distorted the sun becomes. And then you’re just sitting there and a fish swims by……[Read more]

@Hope aiy-ya-yi, now you’re gettin’ weird. 😛 I don’t ever want to risk my life in pursuit of experience, thank you very much. The worst I’ve ever done with water is go under in a pool and just go limp and let myself float to the top like a dead fish. Then when I stand up my hair’s all over the place and my siblings call me Poisedon… so…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy This we must fix.

@hope Next year for Quaker Haven I need you to go kidnap Kate and bring her to camp so we can help her overcome her fear of water, even if she doesn’t learn how to swim. That’s what life jackets are for. @anne-of-lothlorien can’t technically swim, but she’s great in the water with a life-jacket (and she’s getting…[Read more]

@Sarah-H @emma-flournoy I haven’t seen the play the play either, but I’ve read the 1500+ page book and I have to say the 2012 movie did an excellent job capturing its spirit and fleshing out the two dozenish characters. A few parts were rushed (Marius and Cosette’s romance, for one), but they could hardly make it any longer than its already…[Read more]

*shakes head* You guys…

@Hope don’t you dare.

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise yep, I’m lucky. I can shout and sing and die and scream all I want. 😀
No I haven’t, mainly because I can’t swim and am terrified of water anyway. :/

@hope Oh yes! We can buy a secret camera, and then (since she doesn’t know what I look like) I can pay a visit to her cabins and install it! *goes off in insane laughter*

@kate-flournoy Oh yes, we’s loves dying preciousss. 😀

Have you ever stood on the edge of a dock, or a pool, and pretended you were shot or stabbed or hit by an arrow in the back and then fell in “dead”? It’s great fun! 😀

And yeah, you’ve got awesome opportunities for being crazy! I have to use the basement and generally keep my voice waaaaay…[Read more]

YES!!! Oh, I’m sure I look like a maniac planning out my fight scenes. I usually do it when I’m alone cleaning one of our rental cabins— I’ll be wiping the table in between mapping out the different imaginary obstacles, and using the butterknives for weapons… hey, I don’t have any weapons of my own. Cut me a little slack, will ya? 😛
And the…[Read more]

@hope Did she ever doubt it? 😀

Wait, does this mean I’m banned from your car if we go to the writing conference next year?! *gasps*

Although mom said she might want to take me and then go shopping with your mom while we’re at the conference, so it might not be too much of a problem anyway… 😀

And I desperately want to try getting out of a…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy HA! 😀 😀 😀

I’ve never been to a chiropractor, but my mom was sledding once, and another boy thought it would be funny to try and run into her sled with his own… until he accidently hit her in the neck with his shoulder. I guess it really messed her back up, and when she went to the chiropractor and told her story, the cause for…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise Ha! Yes! I do that! Once I had my siblings tie me hand and foot to a chair with jump-ropes. It took me seven minutes and eighty-three seconds to wriggle out. They timed me. 😛
I’ve also had to go to the chiropractor before because I popped one hip out of joint choreographing a fight scene… 😀 And then the chiropractor…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Maybe it’s the website I took it on- I was taking it on a different one until I discovered 16 personalities, and every time I’ve taken it there I’ve scored ENFJ-A. So maybe I really am ENFJ… I don’t know. I give up for now; maybe I’ll try again in a few days. 😛 😉

But yeah, strange writerly things… I have this strange habit of…[Read more]

@Corissa-Maiden-of-Praise don’t ask me. Must have been a glitch in the way you took the test or something. It’s okay. You’ll figure it out eventually. 😉

Yesss, back to strange writerly things… um… @Emma-Flournoy tells me she loves watching me write because I make the most horrible faces and she has fun trying to figure out what kind of scene…[Read more]

@kate-flournoy Wait, so I’m dominantly ENFJ now? WHAT HAPPENED TO ENTJ?!?! *holds head in hands* I don’t think I can take much more of this. 😛

*goes back and reads the post that started it all*

A realization I had as a writer the other night is that it’s a bad idea to eat half a clove of raw garlic in one bite- yesss, preciousss, we’s likes it…[Read more]
