I don't blog nearly enough, do I? >_>
OK, my book is coming along veeery nicely. I'm at 61,000 words, and the first Harry Potter book is about 76,000, so I'm getting there. I'm getting excited with my story too, and had better get moving into the more action-y parts. There is romance, in case you were wondering (hopeless romantic talking, my Edward is out there somewhere!...or maybe Jacob...or perhaps Damon Salvatore...sorry >.>).
We took our usual group, which I think I just have to start mentioning by name, of Alyssa (best friend), Pearl (best friend's sister and perverted friend), Alison (raised Christian like I was, and getting used to me and my weirdness. Alyssa's best friend), and David (my little brother, 3 years younger than me, and becoming an awesome cook) up to our aunt's cabin for an all weekend sleepover thing. Except this time, we took my ex-girlfriend Ellen. <.< She now knows about me, and seems alright with it. We've been broken up for a couple years now, and weren't on the best of terms, but hopefully things will get better now. Now most of my friends know about me, though I still have a few that I'm not sure I should tell...I don't want to risk losing them...
Anyway, we played Scrabble, watched movies, and had an all around good time. We stayed up till seven in the morning before going to bed...we're such bad homeschooled children. Of course mom was awesome, and she loves my friends, and they love her. May I use this opportunity to again stress the fact that I adore my mother and think she may be the greatest person currently living.
Dad is taking me to a Christian conference about homosexuality, to help people with family members deal with it, and to help people suffering from it to get over from it. I'm not very hopeful to be honest, and a bit nervous. I'm thinking it will at least give me some more information on the negative aspects of the lifestyle, but I'm not going for my dad. I'm going to God. If I'm going to live in sin, I can at least make an informed choice about it, and hopefully it will at least make me guilty. Odd thing to hope for, I know.
Anyway, I love my friends, I love my mom and brother and dad, I love the rest of my family, and I love God. I love my readers too, but I don't even know if anyone besides Pearl reads this. >_> Hopefully I'll be able to get through life, without messing up too badly. Hope and pray for me readers, life can be difficult, but it can also be good.

Don't worry Reeroo, I also read your blog. So you at least have 2 readers ^.^
Indeed, you do have two readers at least. I do so love being perverted. We are such naughty homeschoolers, playing as much scrabble as we did that weekend. I got some great words...I got the word queer twice! What are the chances?
Well, I'm up to my ears in homework, but I want to know about this conference. Is it an all day thing? More than one day? A single lecture?
I want you to bring a notebook and take notes on everything. Literally, while there is a speaker, do not stop writing. Write down key points, write down your reaction to the speaker's opinion, write down if there are severe reactions from others, write down interesting conversations if you have any, etc.
Be the novelist you are and carry a notebook/pen constantly. Listen more than you speak, and try and hold off on judging or dismissing something outright.
Keep an open mind, but don't let their opinions take over and try and force you to be someone or something you don't want to be.
This experience will be educational if not enjoyable. Learn from it. You don't have to learn what they are trying to teach, but I'm sure you will learn something.
