Well ... uh ... I was busy this summer so I haven't posted anything in atleast 3 months. And I don't have that much interesting news now. And, no I don't have any new chapters of "Blue Eyes" or anything else to post.

OK fine! I wasted the whole summer! You happy?! scream scream scream
Well ... now that that's outta the way ... NEWS.

I started my Senior Year of High School yesterday. It was actually a really good day. Go figure. Also, because I'm a senior and I'm not taking many electives this year, I get to leave about 1.5 hours earlier than everyone else. But starting in about a week, I'm gonna also be taking post-secondary college classes in the afternoons, and an online Gov't class, and attempting to get a part time job. Oh yeah, and not failing out of any of the above xp .

In literary news, my graphic novel that I've been working on writing and illustrating for about a year is starting to shape up. I'm working on my final character sketch lock offs and character bios. After that I'm gonna start on a full series final script. Then I get to work on illustrating it once I have a better idea where it's going. (Hopefully to a publisher in a few years heart ). Also, my dad (who specializes in Unpublished Novels) is going to breakout of his native genre. He'll start sending out a finished rough copy manuscript to a few publishers soon. Hopefully, someone will love the story as much as I do.

On the Technology front, I finally caved in to peer pressure and got a Facebook ... *shrug* So I'm a wimp, sue me. I've always sworn that I would never get any sort of Facebook/MySpace/CrappyKnockOff account. But I caved, and now I'm totally addicted (but at least I knew that would happen.) Also, I upgraded my iPod. After an unfortunate incident involving my iPod Nano (Classic) and our family washing machine (NOT MY FAULT), I was suddenly with out nigh limitless amounts of music at the touch of a finger. This was compounded by the fact that my family was leaving for a two week vacation in the British Isles the day after we found Nancy (my Nano) drowned in my shorts pocket. So my dad drove me out to BestBuy and through logic, pleading, and guilt I managed to convice him to get me an 8gig Light Green iPod Nano (Video) and a sweet case (mmmmmmm Swede-ey!). She has been christened Nan and she goes with me everywhere! I think that this summer has been a great bonding experience and our relationship is off to a great start.

Um ... oh yeah! I got baptized on Sunday the 24th! I am a Christian and I was really happy (is scared stiff) to get baptized at my church with almost all of my friends and family watching. It was great cause then half way through the service, the power went off (a tree fell on the line across the street) and about 20 minutes after someone at the back fell down and had an asthma attack (no AC due to the lack of power). She was okay, and the Fire Squad cleared up the road about half an hour after service so there wasn't too much of a delay getting to Chipotle (as the entire Youth Group does practically every Sunday afternoon). It definately was an interesting day, I could never forget it even if I wanted to. xd

So that about wraps up my life since the last post. I would've posted about my trip to England ... but I forgot ... sweatdrop ... maybe sometime I'll go in and post about it ... maybe rolleyes

Anyway, signing out for now!
