| 1:54 pm | Money Makin' Please remember one basic rule: NONE of this will accumulate very fast. I have gotten payment from a couple, but it's not very quick, and it might seem frustrating. Also; just FYI, having a throwaway email account that's just for these things? Not a bad idea. It keeps your other email accounts free of most of the spam. ( Emails ) ( Now, Surveys ) All of the ones marked with an asterisk are good outside of the US/Canada! XD Current Mood: busy |

| 11:02 am | No Cat, the library is NOT a SHOPPING TRIP Five for a buck library sales how you torment me! I can't afford you! Why did you leap into my arms?! WHY AM I PLAGUED BY YOU?! How did this happen? How did ten books suddenly find their way home with me? How did this confluence of events happen?! Why, oh why, do I now have: Legends 1 and 2 Temple and the Stone/Temple and the Crown by Katherine Kurtz and Deborah Turner Harris The Black Swan, A Cast of Corbies, Beyond World's End, and Storm Warning by Mercedes Lackey (and others) Waterborn by J. Gregory Keyes The Second Summoning by Tanya Huff How did you entice me with your fantastical fantasy and jump into my arms and come home with me, leaving me lighter in an already anorexic pocket? I want to know how this happened... ... The fact that I'm a book whore is completely irrelevant. Current Mood: Candy-Coated |

| 1:27 pm | Over on writingforums.com Someone asked, "who do you write for?" And I tried out the pat answer "I write for myself" and that's, essentially true, but then, someone made the point of that being a pat answer and really, not a true one at all. So, she challenged everyone to think of that specific audience that we write for and see who they really are. And I thought about it. And this is what I came up with: I write for the little eleven year old girl who wrote (badly) a story about a princess and a prince who turned out to be a frog, and the kindly old witch who made the princess into a girl frog, so she could be with the one she loved. And was then laughed at by not only "friends" but her family as well. I write for the sixteen year old girl who watched her mother burn all her journals of notes and snippets because they weren't "serious" and "she needed to grow up". I write for the eighteen-year-old wife whose husband told her she was "too stupid" and "not good enough" to ever get anything published. I write for the twenty-year-old divorcee who struggled to put all her emotions into words, but she'd lost them a couple years before. I write for the twenty-five year old woman who found her words again, and was able to (finally) put pen to paper once again. I write for the twenty-seven year old mother who looks at her children's faces light up when she writes short stories for them that make no sense. I write for the thirty year old who just sent off a short-story to a magazine, and is hoping something comes of it. They're all me, but they're the ones I write for. So; that's who I write for. Who do you write for? Current Mood: Nosy |

| 11:26 am | I need a legend Scenario: Old crazy "prophet" guy lives in the mountain. Comes down to the burgeoning town below and tells them that they're doing something wrong and they'll pay for it. Town people laugh, scoff and generally go "yeah right". Old crazy prophet dude goes back up the mountain. Comes back again. Warns people, gets shown the door and laughed at. Goes back up the mountain. Comes back down again, and then curses everyone. Big catastrophe happens, he lives, tells survivors that "this area is cursed stay away from it" and they do. What happened? What did they do, what was the catastrophe? ARGH HELP! Current Mood: GRRRRRR Current Music: Weird Al Yankovic - Yoda |

| 8:26 pm | Today, we went to the zoo! The is part one of... uhhh... probably three, maybe four posts that I'm going to do. Why? Because I took a lot of pictures today. September 8, 2007 was Erie Heritage Fest meaning most of the museums and the Erie Zoo were free and open to the public. I being a single Mum of four, said "I can afford that!" and trucked the kids up to Erie, Pennsylvania, USA. ( Our day begins! ) From there, we walked into the main zoo building. It used to house their elephant, which has since been sent to another zoo. However, I highly approve of their remodelling. In the main building are cats, several species of primate, a couple cats, and the poison arrow frogs (not to mention the hissing cockroaches but I don't have that pic uploaded). ( Cats, apes, and tradition ) From that building, we headed outside. Out back of that building, beyond the outdoor gorilla area, is a couple of large cats. ( Leopards and Jaguars ) From there, we went to the Asian exhibit! And they had red pandas that were, regrettably, not out and about. However they did have other things. ( Asian Exhibit ) This final exhibit in the Asian house was, frankly, my favourite. Don't get me wrong, I loved all the others, but these were just... perfect. Why? ( The People of the Forest ) So, that's the first part of our trip today. Tomorrow, maybe more. Current Mood: *thud* |

| 7:24 pm | Chestnut Cemetery, Ashtabula Oh First day of school means that Mom can go out and do as she wants! So what did I do? I went to a cemetery, trusty digital camera in hand! Now this cemetery, is on a semi-steep hill. ( See? ) There are two ways in. One goes straight past a small potter's field: ( here ) However, not all of the headstones there were identified only by numbers: ( The Smith Boys ) The top of the hill is, as you'd expect, populated by "nicer" headstones, and several mausoleums: ( Stone Houses of the Dead ) This next vault kinda creeps me out because it was just below the Collins vault, but was built into the hill! ( The Reverend's vault ) On December 29th 1876, at 7.28pm, the Pacific Express No. 5 crossed an iron bridge spanning the Ashtabula River. The bridge broke, and the train, along with 159 passengers and crew fell into the seventy-foot deep chasm below the bridge. Partial Source In May of 1895 a monument at Chestnut Cemetery was erected over the remains of the victims that were unrecognisable. ( Monument ) Remember I said the cemetery is on a hill? ( Hill pictures ) I found a very unusual memorial at the cemetery. I have never seen one like it before. It's a tree carved out of stone. ( And I want one! ) It used to be (according to my grandmother) standard practice for families that lost a child, to have the headstone, with a lamb on top of it, signifying their innocence. ( Decades later ) The veterans were also not forgotten. I saw so many flags on so many graves, but here's a pair of pictures: ( Veterans we salute you ) Also, these "Draped urns" were on top of several different monuments, scattered around the cemetery, all with different names on them. I wonder if they had some sort of religious significance. ( Draped Urn ) This one was on top of the hill, very near the Collins vault. I took a picture, only because of the name, and the seeming effect on the stone. ( Silent Hill ) I have tonnes more pictures from today, but these were the best/most provoking ones. So. That was my first day of school. |
