The Social Porcupine

All the diaries I've completed. HOW IT ALL STARTED There's something about my journaling. It's the sign of the end of my day. Even when I'm tired, I cant rest until I've got my thoughts, joys and frustrations out in my diary. And once I do, I sleep so good. I've always written. For as long as I can remember I loved to write stories. I always believed I would someday be published, but after I died. When I was little I knew that someday someone would find my stuff and then publish it. For some reason I never considered the option of actually publishing it myself. I loved to read about other authors (most of which are dead.) I thought it sad that we knew little some of them. Because of that I decided I would make sure people could find enough about me, for after I was dead, so they could have a nice sized biography on me. Thus when I was 11 I started journaling every day. In fact, since then, I've only missed 4-5 days and I...

Not only do I have news of a new book release and an interview with the author....but a giveaway, too! So, read on for more about this awesome book :). Sarah Holman  is an author I just recently discovered. Having won her first novel  a while back, and loving it tremendously, I looked her up and found the rest of her books . Which, of course, I had to read. And did. In fact I just finished reading the last one about a week ago. ( There were like 9 books or so, most of which made up three series. ) Very unique stories full of characteristic characters and original plot twists, her books are fun and fast paced reads. One thing I love about her books is she breaks a writing rule I've been taught can't be broke!!!! She doesn't stick to one genre. As of now, she has a sci-fi series, a medieval series, a historical revolutionary novel, a Cinderella retelling, a Bible story, and a modern mystery. But despite all the great stories, one thing about the novels irrit...

Thanks,  Erudessa , for tagging me! As usual, I decided to have fun with it....I almost posted some gross food pictures with this... but... let's just say I decided I didn't want to lose any followers. Haha!!! :) The rules: 1). Thank the person who nominated you, as well as link to their blog. 2). Answer the 10 questions provided. 3). Come up with 10 more questions that relate to food. 4). Nominate at least 5 people. 5). Let those people know they've been nominated. 1. Your thoughts on cheese?   I have very disorganized, rant-like thoughts on cheese. Any one that doesn't like it is crazy. But American cheese is gross. Homemade cheese is good, unless the Amish made it....tastes rotten then :b. It probably isn't good for you being processed...but neither is half of the other "acceptable junk" people eat instead:) ;) :D 2. Favorite pizza? Little Caesar's!!!!!! With lots of cheese and thick crust. I also love black olives, lots of tomatoes, ...

Many girls hate when guys objectify them. When guys think of girls as nothing more than a thing to use as they please, someone to control, etc. But amidst all their complaining of how guys are evil, selfish beings, and that there no good guys left,  most girls are doing the same thing they hate those guys for  - creating unrealistic images out of men for their own desires. Here are three ways we as girls objectify men. Remember, these are just my personal convictions and things I've noticed in other girls and the subsequent consequences of what they did/ did not do. :) Flirting: Selfish Means of Drawing Attention When a girl does this she is not thinking of the guy in a very nice way. He's become an object in her mind, one she is trying to conquer for her own personal and  emotional  reasons. She is not thinking of him as a friend. She is not considering ways that she can help him .... but of ways that he can please her. Be something to her. One wh...

My friend, Erudessa , "pecked" me to join in this game she just made up. If you'd like to join head over to her blog and let her know :). So the Rules: Thank the person that 'pecked' you. List five things that start with, 'When I grow up and have my own house...' (they can be true,'When I grow up and have my own house, I will learn to play the Violin'.....or utterly ridiculous,'When I grow up and have my own house, I will not let anyone visit me who leaves the plug for the shower head pulled so that the water hits you in the back of the head when you turn it on.') 'Peck' one other person and let them know that you have done so. 1. When I grow up and have a house of my own, I'll still say I'm going to do things when I grow up. :) 2. When I grow up and have a house of my own, I will have chocolate at every meal. 3. When I grow up and have a house of my own, I'll learn every language. 4. When I grow ...
