Yes I am still alive

Well, contrary to popular belief, I have not fallen off the face of the earth. "What have I been doing"? you ask (you probably are not asking and really don't even care to know, but I'm going to tell you anyway). Well, I've been up to a few different things.

Last Friday was the opening night of the school play, Anne of Green Gables. I was in charge of keeping costumes sorted and getting people changed. That was a big chunk of my time.

Some other things, that shall for right now remain anonymous.

And then this:

I've been hearing about NaNo WriMo for a while now, but just was reminded about the Script Frenzy about four and a half weeks ago. It's a challenge: write 100 pages of script in 30 days. The challenge begins April 1st at 12:00am and ends April 30th at 11:59 pm. At 5:30 today, I verified my pages and officially won!

What do you win? The cool banner right up there, a certificate you can print off, and an insane amount of excitement at finishing something like this!

That's what I've been up to.

Just in case you wanted to know.....

What?

Jenny's gone. She was outside playing. I went inside to get more sunscreen. It was right inside the door. I came back out and she was missing.

POLICE OFFICER
Have you looked for her inside?

JESSICA
Yes. After I called the police I looked through every room.

LIBBY
Let's look again. Maybe she found a really good hiding place. We'll let the officer call it in and we'll all go look for her.

The Wit and Witicism of C. S. Lewis

"When it was almost dark Tirian heard a light pitter-patter of feet and saw some small creatures coming twoard him....Then, in a moment, they were all standing up on their hind legs, laying their cool paws on his knees and giving his knees snuffly animal kisses....They fed him with oat-cakes and fresh butter, and then with some more wine.

"'Now hand up the water,' said the first Mouse, 'and I'll wash the King's face. There is blood on it.'"

I really liked this quiz. The Bible verses supporting each question are wonderful.
