3 Days!

3 days until I leave for California!
I'm so excited; this will be my first time on a plane, in Cali, etc.

Does anybody have any tips for me for the plane ride?
I'm going to bring my notebook and the laptop, so I'll be able to write on the plane.
Maybe. =D

I am really excited!!!!

Ancient Greece = Fun! (kinda...)

OK so learning about Ancient Greece is getting more fun, but also getting weirder. We have to wear "chitons" (the Greek version of togas, but Romans stole their idea so I guess togas are the Roman version of chitons... pronounced ki-tons.) and they look *really* weird.
But our city-state (Megara) is planning a Greek lunch on Friday, so that should be pretty fun.


The problem is, Megara is famous for their clothing/fashion, so we have to come up with really good chitons... well I mean we don't *have* to but we should.


I'm taking an un-intentional break from writing, but I've been reading constantly.
If anyone wants a list of books, comment asking and I'll give you a super-good list.


I gotta go do math homework... dividing decimals and percentages... lovely... (NOT)
=D

Myth + More Lip Gloss

In school we're studying Ancient Greece, and today we got put into our city-states. My Greek name is Amphitrite, AKA Poseidon's girlfriend or sea-goddess. Read Percy Jackson... you'll get it more... speaking of the Percy Jackson series, I personally think they get kind of boring. It's the same thing through out each 5 books. Percy goes to Camp Half-Blood.. goes on a quest... meets some evil guys... gets tricked... blah blah blah. 

Anyway.

We have to write and make up myths. Mine is called "How Tigers Got Their Stripes". I'll post it when I'm finished with it...


I made more lipgloss today, and decided to call the color "Strawberry". It's a lot lighter than the other one with kind of a yellow/orange undertone. Unfortunately I don't have a pic, but I'll try and post one sometime...

Lip gloss!

I made lip gloss for the first time today!
It was super fun and easy...
I decided the color is called "Black Cherry".
Here's a picture of it: 

Ain't it purdy?!?
Anyway, I didn't get any writing done since Saturday... I seriously need to start working!


Tell your opinion on the lip gloss!

Please Welcome...

Eric Todd to our family of characters!
I posted a new story called Eric Todd's Big Idea.
It's set in around the '30's, I think, and it's about a seven year old boy named Eric Todd and his friend Tiny Gary, and their adventures on a sunny summer day.
Read what I have so far- the page is to your right.

Check it out and post a comment!

New Story: Darwin!

I just wrote a new story called Darwin.
You can read it on the side bar...
It's about a 30-year-old man named Darwin who still lives with his parents.

Anyway...

Today at school we had the Author's Tea. It was fun... there was free cookies and juice! Also grapes and strawberries, which I love. The ironic thing was, I piled up my paper plate with grapes and a couple big, juicy strawberries and people said- as they saw my plate- "wow, that's a lot!" or something like that, but when I looked at *their* plate, it was filled with cookies, Rice Krispies, and brownies.
They should talk...

Author's Tea

In my class, we recently made illustrated books. We got to go through the process of writing, formatting, printing, illustrating, and finally "publishing" our books using rubber cement, cardboard and dental floss. My was called Rose the Brat and it was about a bratty 4-year-old who meets another 4-year-old who's even brattier.
Anyway, we're having an "author's tea" on Friday the 15th to celebrate these books, and also the poetry books we made back in February, I think. We get to dress up and present our books to the parents. Not a lot of people are psyched about dressing up, especially most of the guys. =D
I'm going to make a page on it, so be sure to read it. It won't be with the illustrations, but it's a good story. You'll be entertained.

I'm kind of in a comedy-writing stage, but it's my kind of humor. Which isn't everybody's type of humor... it's more of a silly/stupid writing stage to most people, I guess...
Anyway, you still should check it out, especially if you're in the need of a good laugh.

Welcome!

Hey, and welcome to my writing blog. I'm currently writing a funny, pointless story about an old lady named Babs who attempts to walk to Germany,  but ends up in Mexico. It's rather amusing, if I do say so myself. 

You're probably wondering why the title of my blog is "Second Hand iBooks." Well, I have one of those (typing on it right now, in fact) and all my stories start on there. Well, they actually start in my imagination (it's kinda messy up there... but I guess that's a good thing...) but still. That's where they get typed out.

Feel free to read Babs! It's in the "My Stories" page to your right. 

Enjoy, and please leave some comments giving me feedback. 
Thanks!
