Sooooo, I think we can all agree that I'm the worst blogger ever, right? Right. In case you were afraid I died, I DID NOT (obvi), but I'm more often on Tumblr or Twitter these days, so if you haven't found me there, go check it out!

There's actually a chance this blog may not last that much longer as I will be working on some New Fancy Internet Stuff in the near future, but for now, I wanted to be Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Rachel Hawkins  (?)

“It sucks that we miss people like that. You think you've accepted that someone is out of your life, that you've grieved and it's over, and then bam. One little thing, and you feel like you've lost that person all over again.”
Rachel Hawkins, Demonglass

“Good luck explaining to God that you used to spank one of his heavenly beings."
Mom gave a startled laugh. "Sophie!"
"What? You did. I hope you like hot weather, Mom, that's all I'm saying.”
Rachel Hawkins, Hex Hall

“I heard the man and woman cry a warning as I frantically racked my brain for some sort of throat-repairing spell, which I was clearly about to need. Of course the only words that I actually managed to yell at the werewolf as he ran at me were, 'BAD DOG!'

Then, out of the corner of my eye, I caught a flash of blue light on my left. Suddenly, the werewolf seemed to smack into an invisible wall just inches in front of me....

"You know," someone said off to my left, "I usually find a blocking spell to be a lot more effective than yelling 'Bad dog,' but maybe that's just me.”
Rachel Hawkins, Hex Hall

Victoria Simcox Hi Rachel thanks for adding me, and even though a little late, happy 7th anniversary, may there be many, many more. And I think I figured out what the movie was you went to see. I saw it too. (loved it) Blessing Victoria.") www.themagicwarble.com
