    Hi Steph,

    It would be an awesome pleasure if you would join my other Taylor Swift group, http://www.shelfari.com/groups/86612/about

    Taylor Swift is coming along, but I just think not many people go on Shelfari anymore and if they do not often enough and not to our group! Oh well, I'll keep trying!

    I'm still not sure if that is exactly what I want to do, because I'm suffering from Writer's Block. But I think I may be able to come back! However, I'm still trying to find the right story!

    Thanks for setting me up as admin!

    Hey Stephanie! I'm a member of your Taylor Swift Fearless group, and I was wondering whether I could become co-admin with you. I am asking because I love Taylor Swift and I have been a member for some time and have noticed that not much is happening within the group - I am the admin of http://www.shelfari.com/groups/86612/about and although it was created only recently has already got many members. If I become co-admin, I promise not to remove you as an admin and be a trust-worthy co and also not stalk you!!! haha! Please let me know and if you don't want me to be co-admin with you. Oh, and I really love the fact that you have the dream to become a published author - I do too!

    Thanks! Book_Lover101!

    XD. 'Tis fine, 'tis fine. I'm patient (cough). I'll just make some of those delicious oatmeal cookies while I wait. XD
    (Oh... And do school... -whistle-)

    OHMYGOD, GO YOU. I LOVE IT WHEN LOVE PREVAILS.
    Now, who is L?

    OH MY, THAT IS AMAZING HOW AMAZING ARE YOU!? PRETTY DARN AMAZING, BECAUSE YOU GOT /350/K ON NANOWRIMO!
    That is extremely impressive. I didn't even get myself to write /at all/ on the last day.
    Pfffttt. School schmool.

    XD Yeah, I agree. I doubt Ave could ever be dangerous. She's way too nice. Of course, that's how a thirty-year old creepy would act, but Skype is a /leetle/ bit hard to take part in if you're hiding being that... I bet you guys will have a wonderful time! (:
    I never talk about my internet friends to my parents... In fact, sometimes I wonder if they even know I have them. I bet my mum would be thrilled that I have more than one friend. :D She's just told me about this website called 'figment' and she really wants me to join so I can meet other writers... And I'm sort of just going, 'Well, I already /do/ know writers...'

    HEY, WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
    XD. I actually bet it is fine, but I'll freak out anyway.
    I bet you're doing spectacular too.
    I keep doing that too. ::) English and French are AWFUL and take time, so I procrastinate on those. Hopefully I can just blow through all my French in a day and then finish English in a week or something.

    Haha, oh deary. Two AM? I WAS UP THEN. I should've checked this then. :D

    Yeah... My only friend is SO awkward to talk on the phone with, so... BLEH. We'd probably die out if I moved.

    Oh, I don't think there's anything wrong with being Wiccan either! It just seems like many Christian parents /I/ know are worried about their children switching to that sort of religion if they read about magic and all sorts of fairy-like things. Shadow, the Witch... I can't imagine it (partly because I don't know what you look like, but you get the point). I just find it silly that they think we're going to go all medieval on them and start practicing 'legitimate' witchcraft. And, to be honest, I think some things are interpreted incorrectly from the Bible. Does it straight-out say 'no witchcraft"? I know it says no to pig skin (footballs), polyester, and stuff like that (there's another one that I found so odd, but it involves mentioning certain parts of the body that are rather awkward to speak about). The Bible confuses me. God didn't actually write it, so I'm not sure if I can trust it entirely. I mean, /I've/ never gotten a message from God that told me the people who wrote the Bible are right. What if they interpreted God's message incorrectly?
    ...But don't tell your mum that I think that. XD That won't give you leverage to read HP.

    I don't know... I just would never want to be so... /pathetic/. I want to be able to depend on myself and myself alone (though I'm certainly not going to refuse a shoulder to lean on, be all stoic and independent. :D). I just never want to be the girl who whines because her boyfriend isn't there.

    A 'thanks' would be spectacular. If I ever get a 'thank you', it always seems really fake... Maybe that's because I'm upset with her and imagine it, but it just always seems like she's saying it because she's 'the better person', not because she's actually grateful. Do you understand? She just seems so fake half the time and that's mostly what I don't like. She acts like she's the better person and ridicules you to no end - but without flat-out insulting you. You know? She reminds me of those catty girls in the movies who fight subtlety, but cruelly.
    ... But maybe I'm just imagining it.
    Yeah, those are awful jokes. :P My mother does that sort of thing, too. And she gets mad at me when I don't get it and get offended instead.
    It's laughable, the situation. XD

    Eh, I'm going to get drunk someday. I don't plan on being an alcoholic, but I'm pretty sure I'll get drunk with my friends one night and have a blast. It's a part of life. But getting drunk does not seem /at all/ pleasant. My sister got tipsy in France (they have the best wine there) and she said it was awful.

    THE RECIPE:
    1 cup of flour (spoon the flour into the measuring cup, don't pack it in.)
    1 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. baking soda
    1/2 cup sugar *I actually put about a fourth cup of sugar in, but that's because I don't like having a lot of sugar in anything
    1/2 cup brown sugar *Dark brown, preferably. If you don't have brown sugar, just get 1/2 cup of sugar, two tablespoons of molasses, and mix those together.
    1 egg
    1/4 cup applesauce *If you don't have applesauce, you could probably replace this with butter... But less calories, healthier, all that. Just go with applesauce if you can
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 1/3 cup rolled oats
    DIRECTIONS: Beat the butter and -normal (not brown)- sugar together. Once the butter and sugar is smoothly mixed, add the brown sugar, egg, applesauce, and vanilla (while still beating it together). Then, in another bowl, whisk together to baking soda, baking powder, and flour. Once you think everything is incorporated nicely, add the wet ingredients to the dry (the butter, sugars, egg, applesauce, and vanilla to the baking soda, baking powder, and flour). Then stir in the oats and (if you want, I just love these spices) add about a tablespoon of cinnamon and some nutmeg. Then put the cookies on a cookie sheet (I normally make about 12 cookies, but that's because I, apparently, love huge cookies) and bake them for 10-12 minutes at 375 degrees.
    AND WALA. They're amazing.

    ...That sounds dramatic. I'm so sorry you cried! I feel bad for you and Gri and Zachary and all your siblings. And your mum.
    And: YOU HAVE SIX SIBLINGS? I was so unaware of this. Holy smokes, that's a lot of kids. And are you all teens too? I mean, still living at home? O.O
    Wow. That must be really interesting.

    ~Ooooh. I think you should just make a 'Mature' section. XD Then Mia and all those people could go crazy with violence and you could go crazy with romance. Honestly, I think you should post it. Or PM it. XD I really want to read this now!
    Is it guyxguy as the main pairing, or just has that mentioned?

    QUESTION: If I had, say, a gay person in my story, but they weren't in a relationship, can I post it on TWIG? I've been curious to know because I've sort-of-almost had a scene with that sort of content, but found out I couldn't really do that if I wanted to post it on TWIG. But I still have a gay character... So that's be nice to know.

    Wow, Shadow, I'm seeing a side of you I've never seen! XD When I wrote a kiss for one of my stories, it was mostly 'he put his lips on mine,' and then an explanation as to how surprised she was. :D

    Oh, I'm sure... Warriors is so popular. I'm sorry 'bout that!

    I can't believe you did that! YOU ARE SO STRONG. :D I backed out like -snap- THAT!

    Awesome! I could use some life lessons.

    It's about this nineteen-year old boy, Ed, who gets an Ace (of... diamonds, I believe) in the mail that has three addresses scribbled onto it, with times next to each address. He's a bit hesitant, but he goes to each place at the appropriate times and finds people who need help. He needs to send them a message (for instance, at one address he finds a man who rapes his wife every night at the time Ed was given. Ed realizes he has to change this). But Ed's life is also threatened because he's told that if he doesn't deliver the messages correctly or fast enough or whatever, that the wo/man who sent him the card will get him killed...
    So... It's sort of like a thriller/romance/MIND-BLOWING story.

    Random, but I wanted to say: figment.com is actually quite cool. It has this huge library that consists of books written by the members there! It's really interesting.

    He has a contact button on his website. :D Most authors do, except for some of the really famous ones. But even with them, you can normally find a way to contact them.

    OH, WAIT. Were you asking about the plot to The Clockwork Three or I Am The Messenger? :D The Clockwork Three has a much more child-oriented plot. It's based on a true story about an Italian boy named Giuseppe who was taken from his family in Italy to.. London or something. At London, he has an 'owner' who makes him play on the streets for money. At the time, that was legal, so many boys would be 'owned' by men who made them give him money in return for somewhere to sleep and some moldy food. It's a really fascinating story.

    Hmmm... There are 467 pages of the Autobiography and Introduction together. If you put that into... Twilight format, it'd probably be 1,000 pages. Then there are 269 pages worth of appendixes, index, explanatory notes, references, notes on the text, etc. It's long.

    It's Battle of the Clans, which I think is the new one.

    I'M AWAITING THE CRITIQUE. XD

    I've always sort of wanted to read a parenting book. ::)

    I despise coffee, but I feel that if I want to be an author, I'll have to drink it. XD Good luck with Dragon Soul! -ENCOURAGEMENT- :D

    Oh, that sounds wonderful! I stayed at a Barnes and Noble for five hours once and - well... Actually, it was pretty awful because Elle wouldn't talk to me and there was nowhere to sit and I hadn't brought my computer and since I only had a pencil (I prefer pens), I didn't really want to write and I was just feeling stick and awkward and all-around awful.
    But it was fun for the first three hours or so... And you sound like you're going to be having loads of fun, what with the WiFi and a friend who'll talk to you. :D

    Fiction is always so much fun. XD. I pretended I married Kyuubi from Naruto for awhile. We had the cutest relationship.

    RANDOM WISH: I wish shelfari would redo its formatting so when I write a reply to you, I don't have to constantly scroll up and down to see what I said, you said, and I'm about to say. XD I wish I could write immediately to the right of your message so I could write longer, more detailed replies and stuff.

    -UPDATE-
    ...Um. I felt like I had a lot to say, but now I'm not really sure. I'm feeling inspired right now, so I think I'm going to write... YAY.
    And Elle's making gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. YAY.
    And Dad is going crazy over this new deal that could either mean nothing or a considerable pay raise. YAY. (He woke up this morning saying he had spreadsheets in his eyes because he'd been reading all the numbers all night till four AM... He wasn't joking.)
    And I'm reading some Edgar Allan Poe, which is really morbid and disgusting, but /so/ good. This man just accidentally stuck an axe in his wife's head, though... So I dunno. It's so good, but I feel weird saying it is, since it's so horrifying. YAY.
    And my brother's coming back home soon. Yay... YAY.
    And I officially love Disney's Tangled. (BEST KISSING SCENE BY DISNEY) YAY.
    And I'm reading fanfiction. ::) YAY.
    And I support Sirius/OC, Oliver Wood/OC, Fred/OC, and that's basically it. (HP Fanfiction, to be specific). YAY.
    And I'm using And a lot. YAY.
    And yeah... That's about it. I'm reading tidbits of books, mostly. I read some of Sherlock Holmes, I've read some short stories of Edgar's, I'm reading little stories in Warriors' Battles of the Clans, and I'm reading chapters of Stephen's I Am America (And So Can You!).
    SO YEAH.
    That was sufficiently obnoxious, what with the YAYs and Ands, but I just felt like using them.
    I'M OFF TO WRITE!

    Haha, thanks for answering! I suppose I can see that thought-process... :D

    ER. WELL... It's the Marie story I posted for critique on TWIG... I have a plot, but it's completely spoiler-filled. Arianna seems certain that Marie is in a relationship (romance) with one of the guys I mentioned, but she isn't, so I'm wondering if maybe I have to rethink my plot now, as I must've accidentally insinuated something that isn't there? I dunno.

    Well, it makes me feel bad when you don't brag when you should. It's quite selfish of anybody to take away from your feelings of joy towards accomplishing something for yourself. I beg you to brag- in fact, I'd pay you... if I could over the internet, but I can't.

    XD

    NONONO. You absolutely and positively wonderful. And I can't very well get upset with you for having your own reactions, can I?

    Oh, that's so cool! I don't think anybody on TWIG could be a creeper or anything, as anybody who reads or write can't be that bad. :D That's really cool, though, how you're able to meet up with them! I've always thought about doing that, but I'd though, if I ever was to do such a thing, I'd wait till I was older.

    REALLY? HIGHFIVEFOROURAWESOMENESS!
    I don't want to get behind either... I started two weeks late, too. ].[ (this won't work, this smiley. ].[) BUT IT'S ALL GOOD, EH?

    I stayed up till 6 AM reading last night, so I'm not off to a very good start with my new 'wake up early' prerogative. I fail. :D

    Oh, that's really interesting! I've never lived anywhere out of this stupid state (ooh, I'm getting that state-hate-teenage-angst thing going on... EXCITING!). No, I actually sort of like it here. But... it'd be cool to go somewhere else and see what's out there.
    Yeah, I don't think I'd go back either. I like having goals.

    Why ever would somebody be against magic, most especially in fiction? Why shan't there be magic in everybody's lives? Good Lord, the magic in Harry Potter is love!
    Hm. I'll never understand this whole 'witchcraft is bad' thing going about. It's not like everybody's turning Wiccan or anything.

    Yeah... I never want a passionate romance. Maybe a passionate fling - when I'm much older - but never a passionate romance, an undying love. That sounds unbearable.

    Yeah, I hate that. It's like the better you are as a child, the more work you have to do.
    I find that unfair. I don't want to insult you or your mum or anything, as I'm really not in any place to judge anything about the going-ons of your family, but I just find that wrong. A child should be able to earn their own money and use it for their own purposes. If you have offered before, then it's even more out of line to force you to pay.

    Sure, a PM sounds good. I'm a bit curious now. :D
    It was really great. x) I made oatmeal cookies, which were delicious (I don't know how interested you are in oatmeal cookies and/or baking, but if you want the recipe, I have it and I strongly recommend it... :D). We watched Eat, Pray, Love, which was pretty good... We talked and laughed and had all sorts of fun. It's all rather dim in my memory now, but it's a nice sort of foggy dimness (I didn't get drunk, mind you. XD). I know I had a good time.

    Hm... That sounds extremely frustrating. It's like being Alice in Wonderland - around mad people! :D
    Does she work a lot? Maybe she has stress from that?

    'Tis, it is.

    AUGH NO. I hate when things have to be taken out. Half the reason I didn't post some of my NANO story was because I didn't feel like the story would catch the essence of one of my character's if I got rid of the swearing the person used.
    But still... Post it- edited or not. IF YOU WANT, of course. But I'd love to read it!

    XD

    'Night Whispers' is the book. Third 'Omen of the Stars'.

    I read Oliver Twist and didn't like it at all, but I'd thought I'd give him another go.

    Yeah... Unfortunately. I have it memorized and I can play all the notes fine; it's the timing that gets me. It's always timing.

    XD I've never listened to Revolution 9 all the way through because I heard some of it backwards... And... eurgh. -shudders-
    I Am The Walrus is so much fun on Beatles Rockband. XD Though so weird.

    I want to read that! I think it sounds really interesting.

    Awesome! (: Good luck!

    -UPDATE-
    I wrote a letter to Matthew J. Kirby, the guy who wrote The Clockwork Three and he replied with the most lovely advice for me and all sorts of nice things. I LOVE HIM AND HIS BOOK EVEN MORE NOW.

    I read I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak last night. All night... The whole book... BUT IT WAS SOOOO GOOD. It mentioned sex and stuff, which was probably inappropriate, but I could honestly care less. I would regret not reading it now if I read it later.

    I got I Am America (And So Can You!) by Stephen Colbert again. I’m about halfway through already, so hopefully I’ll finish it.

    I also want to get The Book Thief again by Markus Zusak, so I can finally finish it. It’s overdue at the library though... So I don’t think I’ll be getting it anytime soon.

    I read the first fifty pages of Mark Twain’s autobiography. I love it so far, and it’s just the introduction. I’m taking my time though. It’s a long book!

    My friend, Jordan, got me a Warriors Guide Book and it’s pretty fun to read - simple and light. I’m enjoying it.

    As for writing, I’ve written a bit. I’m waiting for your critique before I edit the first chapter (maybe, I might change it to somewhere else in the story) of the Marie Dystopia story.

    And piano is getting better. Earnest finally understands that I’m complete and utter crap when it comes to counting eight and sixteenth notes within one beat. But he’s helping a lot, so it’s all a progress in the works!
    ANYWAY. LIFE’S GOOD. SCHOOL’S FINE. EVERYTHING, OVERALL, IS BETTER THAN A LOT OF OTHER ‘OVERALLS’ IN PEOPLE’S LIVES.

    --- No problem! I don't mind you saying the message is specifically to me. XD

    XD

    I suppose so. I have been writing to a new story, that I really like and have an actual PLOT to. ~oooh~ So I'm excited about that.

    People get bothered by it? I'm proud to have written over 10,000! My biggest story yet has been 14,000 and that took about a year! Honestly, I'm extremely proud of what I've done.
    Why ever not? I would totally brag. :D

    :D Well, I can choose sides well. By writing the essay, I find out who I support. And then if I find out I support the other side throughout it, I'll rewrite it in my new, grounded position on the subject.

    That's how I've looked at it too. I can say things to you that I wouldn't to others because if you react badly, I just sort of sign off and get over it. If I saw you again ever, I wouldn't know who you were because we'd never met in real life, or else it'd be online, which is just like hiding behind a mask still. You can tell people your darkest secrets just because they don't really know who you are; it's just wonderful to get it off your chest. You know? It's like a diary that you can interact with, to be sort of emotionless about it, since there are actual human beings on the other side of this diary. But that's how most people view it, I think.

    You wanted to do school!? I had a blast. FOUR WHOLE DAYS OFF. And I played Beatles Rockband, which was so much fun.

    Thank ya, thank ya veddy much.
    I tell myself that too. 'Wake up earlier.' Your mind is fresher, and you can get your work done so the rest of the day is open for other things. School would be ten times easier if I just woke up at seven or something, I think.

    You lived in Puerto Rico? Wow...
    Oh, I miss being a kid so much. I mean, I still am a kid, of course, but not a little kid, who looked at her Mum and Dad as though they were super heroes and didn't worry about school because I hadn't even looked as far as THIRD grade, but now I'm thinking about college, and a career, and all that... Life was so simple, you know?
    Aw, but you sounded happy in Puerto Rico as a little kid. That was really cute to read, actually.

    I think you'll be old enough to read whatever the heck you want. XD I'm confused though. You read the Twilight series, didn't you? I thought there was a sex scene in that, so I don't understand why you couldn't read HP after that... I WONDER.

    I love romances, actually, just not those undying ones... Like, 'I suddenly looked into his eyes and /knew/. He'd be there for me /forever/. The love for me burned fiercely in his mossy green eyes, igniting me with the passion to overpower this evil trying to break us apart. I would do anything for him. HE WAS MY LIFE NOW.' Those types. I just like the cutesy ones that are within a good series, such as, 'I'd never noticed how pretty she looked when she smiled till now, and suddenly she was looking at me weirdly. "What's with the stupid grin?" she teased.'
    Where they notice they're in love after being good friends and all that. I like the sweet ones, not the passionate ones. Passionate loves appear to be stupid to me, sweet ones appear to be perfect and rational.

    Haha, -hug-. I miss being younger. It's weird to think in a few years I'll miss being this age. O.o
    The world was just a kingdom, and your parents were the king and queen. You were the princess, and your life was easily laid out. Marry and have lovely children with a handsome prince. That's how the world was for me. Now it's just this confusing mess with bundles of kings and queens and you find out your parents are just peasants and you're just as normal too. It seems so whimsical, the world, when you're young, but when you're older it's just confusing as heck. :D

    Oh, I know how you feel. It sucks when parents just sort of pin chores on a certain child. Sometimes I think they forget to be fair and just want it done.
    But I'd be ticked off by that. She's making /you/ yourself legitimately pay for the food, or just to go out and use her money to get it? Because I think that's a bit out of line. My mother swore when I was younger (and I've always held her to it) that she would never make me pay for my own food or water. So that's... weird for me.

    They went to OH? Maybe they could've seen me there. XD I understand that too. My parents left for about three weekends in a row last month with just me and my sister at the house and it was /spectacular/, It's great to do things for yourself, to really test your skills. I already make dinners for myself and stuff, but it's really cool to see that you can actually get about by yourself and be responsible without them telling you to.
    In fact, my parents are leaving tomorrow for their anniversary, so that'll be fun. My sister and I always make the best dinners when they leave (as she wants to be a chef/pastry chef, so she makes all sorts of wonderful things).

    What does she get mad at you guys about? Just random, irrational stuff?

    My mum said she was fed up with our laptops being out on the footstool in the family room and gave us a scolding yesterday, which made me laugh because 1. it wasn't even my laptop; I never leave them there anymore and 2. she always has her laptops (yes, she uses two... at the same time... for hours upon hours a day) on the footstools. Constantly. Whenever I try to sit and read, I have to put my feet over her laptops.
    So I wondered if she was being hilariously irrational like mine, or if yours was just being infuriatingly irrational.
    Because I've really started to just laugh at these things.

    Yup, I have been! (: I'm so happy about this story! It's a dystopia (wouldn't Ratty just be so please about that? XD) story and I /really/ like it. I wrote over 2,000 in my notebook, it turns out, and then wrote some more and some more. So I'm pleased!

    XD. If I wrote as much as I talked, I would have hundreds and hundreds of books.

    Oh, I'm so glad for you! CONGRATS.
    Are you posting it on TWIG, because I loved to read it!

    Also.... TWIG stands for The Writer's.... Internet? Guild, yes?
    I was always uncertain because I thought it was TWG, but then I saw people saying TWIG and sorted of just tagged along. But I never asked.

    My birthday's in three days, oh Lordy... It feels so far since it's the beginning of the next month. So I'm still just going 'Well, it's a whole month away!' when it's just on December 2nd... Urgh.. D: It's not going to sink in until the first or on my actual birthday that I'm turning the ~teen~ age.

    -Hobbies/Interests/Writing/Reading Update-
    I read this book called The Clockwork Three. It's amazing. READ IT. XD It made me cry towards the end. Well, almost cry, but -waves hand- pft, whatever.
    I also read the newest Warriors book, which was great as well.
    And I'm about to get the Mark Twain autobiography from my brother for my birthday, which should take awhile to read...
    And I'm about to read a Tale of Two Cities (my parents just have classics lying all about the house. The version I'm about to read has things like Floyd + Laura written in it in pencil. My mum's grandmother and grandfather were Floyd and Laura... And the book was published in 1919 or something of the likes. It's really interesting to see.)
    Also, I'm taking piano lessons, so I've been practicing piano, of course. My C Major, D Major, and G Major scales are doing well, but I can't do both left and right together with two octaves, but I'm getting there... And Fur Elise is getting easier with my counting. 123456 (click) 123456 (click). [- That's my lullaby at night now. XD I can't stop counting in my head.
    Writing-wise, I've already told you that, really. Marie, the survivor of a dying world has put me into a writing tizzy.
    And then I've been just enjoying company.

    And now I really must do school. XD I've been procrastinating for over an hour, I believe.
