Verse 1:
Come to me the moon is closer
Then your eyes (then your eyes)
I can barley see through the cracks that shines out my scars
Sirens scream in vein
I have already died a million times inside
Chorus:
I surrender
Shoot me down
No bullet could
Stop me now
My love does not depend
On anyone or anything
It will never die

It's so much fun to make them that I'll probably keep making them even if I don't sell a single one. Anyway, here are some more that I've made that are now included in the most recent version of the product page.

My very good friend recommended for me to read this book and she has yet to steer me wrong so I put it on my list of books to read. Fortunately, my cousin was able to lend it to me using her Kindle to mine. I really enjoyed it so thought I'd go ahead and put up a quick review to entice anyone to check it out.

Motionless in pain
I can see my life flashing before my eyes
Did I fall asleep?
Is this all a dream
Wake me up, I'm living a nightmare
I will not die (I will not die)
I will survive
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
I feel alive, when you're beside me
I will not die, I'll wait here for you
In my time of dying
On this bed I lay
Losing everything

If she hadn’t left that Star Wars book lying around almost 12 years ago I would never have picked it up and been sucked into the Star Wars galaxy.
It’s also because of her that I know so much. She answered every question I ever had about the movies, and since she already owned a good portion of the books she loaned them to me so I could readGirlatTheRockShowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15120905300187230906noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908997461275925381.post-69742338671286786922012-02-10T00:01:00.015-05:002012-02-10T00:01:01.776-05:00The Phantom MedleyWell a long time ago in a galaxy far far away

I have three new designs, seen here:
I made this one to wear at the midnight showing of The Phantom Menace in 3D, but if anyone wants one I can make it!
This one is similar to other designs I've done, but with red instead of green or blue.
This is a new design as well.

This week’s quote is thanks to NCIS and the writer’s ability to come up with some really great scenes between the characters.

To many of you, this date probably means nothing. To me, it means that is is only one week until the release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace in 3D.
Now, admittedly, this is my least favorite Star Wars movie of the six. Second only to Return of the Jedi.

I had a kit like it when I was 6 years old and I made a few bracelets while I was sick with the chicken pox. It's really easy to set up and use, and it looks like this when I'm working on it:

Which led me to going through my dvds of Series 6 to get screencaps of the various colors of her nail polish.
Let me tell you, it's not as easy as it sounds. Even I thought I'd have this little project done in an hour or two tops.

Yeah, sorry about that. I've spent more than half of this winter break sick and my mental capacity to do anything is shot to hell. But I have a couple things I've been working on.
One is a new Doctor Who fanfic. I already wrote it up but I want to fix it a bit before I let you wonderful people read it.

November is a rough month because of NaNo as I'm sure I mentioned in one of my previous posts. Not to mention that's when college finals start heating up.

I completed my 50,000 word goal before November 30, and then I put the story aside for a while to give myself a break from the marathon of writing but during the year I kept working on it until now I consider it finished.
I'd like to edit it so it lends itself more to be easily read and to make it a better story in general.

The whole idea is to write 50,000 words from November first until midnight November 30. Last year I completed the goal, but I know I had a lot of urging from one of my very good friends online. This year, however, since she won't be online as often so I'll have to yell at myself to write.

If you're in New York check out the parade because it promises to be a good time with plenty of cool costumes. If you're not then hopefully your area has something fun to do, or maybe there's some good haunted house type things to check out.

This post got a little bit delayed because my mom took some extra time to do some last minute details to the coat, and my shirt needed to be hemmed because it's a men's shirt. But it's finally finished!
So there's me and my costume. I love that without the pirate hat, coat and sword I can pretty much wear this to class. Which I am doing today.

When I was a kid I just did the standard face, with a few variations over the years.
One year we used the pumpkin 'guts' to spread in and out of the mouth of the pumpkin to simulate it throwing up. That was probably my favorite pumpkin.GirlatTheRockShowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15120905300187230906noreply@blogger.com0
