...I have something fun to tell....

My mother and I have taken to watching The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, The Big Valley, Bonanza, and other westerns together. I started writing fanfiction for Gunsmoke a couple of months ago. I finished another Gunsmoke with Lucas and Mark McCain (from The Rifleman) playing a very minor role. Also, I wrote one part of a ficlet for Bonanza, and is it just me, or does anyone else see Adam as a Tolkien fan?

All of my stories are humorous, and the only person, beside me, that I allow to read them is my mother. I mean, one story for Gunsmoke is set in Bass Pro Shop (Let's Shop), and another is at Cracker Barrel (Let's Eat). And I have a few that formed a little series, called The People of Dodge City On... These are where each character has 'their say' on various topics, like forms of recorded music, Wal-Mart, and computers. My favorites to write are Festus and Doc. I really enjoy writing Fetus' vernacular! I used to hate to read that kind of shit when sixth grade brought me to read Old Yeller. -_- The slang was so much, it not only hurt  my mind, but my eyes too. LOL

It's lots of fun. I haven't written anything silly in years! When I started writing fanfiction, it was all Lord of the Rings themed. I was 12 or 13. My dad had bought me a laptop for my twelfth Christmas, and naturally, I ended-up reading Hermione/Snape fanfiction of various kinds, along with crazy LOTR fics. And who could forget the one with vampire!Harry Potter!? If you're into Draco/Hermione, I can still recommend a fic called Once Upon a Thyme. I have no idea who wrote it, but I bet it's still on FF.net. Can I just say 'timeturner'? ^_^

Oh! I did have part of a LOTR Christmas play written a few months ago, but after Christmas I wasn't into writing more of it in January. Pippin didn't like the idea of the elven costume he was to wear, even though he was now about four-feet tall, as they looked like they were  meant for tiny Santa Clauses. That's all of that one! D:

It's now dark in here, like cave with floosy curtains. I better go now. ;)

I will be back....sometime!

I always get "witchy" in the fall. Hell, I've already made ogham staves for myself and decorated them! O_O

I love, love, LOVE divination. I'm pretty good with tarot cards, and what sucks is that I do not own any at the moment. :( BUT, I found a site where I can print some off. I don't have a living printer at the moment, so that means a trip to the library. Every page printed is 25 cents. Luckily, I found some mini tarot cards that are only four pages! And some cool 'how-to' deal that is two pages - I've forgotten a lot - and so I just need $1.50 for the printer. ^___^

"Don't you love fall in New York? Reminds me of school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils, if I only knew your name and address" - You've Got Mail

^That is my favorite movie hands down. I could probably watch it all day and not get tired of it.

Another reason to love autumn is the fact of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins' birthday on September 22nd! WHOO! I always try to read Fellowship of the Ring on their birthday, but never go very far in the book. D:< Gah! * flails* What is wrong with this picture! It's not like there is a local pub nearby singing hobbit drinking songs as I live in a dry county who probably doesn't approve of halflings of any kind. Remember: Hobbits Are a Tolkien Minority!*

I have somehow made the top of my nightstand fantasyland. Mini copy of Middle-earth above it, Japanese how-to set on it, along with a fantasy/sci-fi short stories book, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in a trilogy of five, and VHS tapes of LOTR:FOTR and the first Harry Potter movie. In front of all those books are two Entertainment Weekly 'zines about Star Trek and Star Wars, and a special magazine about Tolkien/ Tolkien's world. AND and a mass market paperback copy of Redwall I am going to read at some point soon (hopefully).

Well...I guess I have filled you in somewhat....or something....

HOW are you all?
