And quite honestly it happens to be a very good excuse this time. (Not just, I didn't feel like it, like it has been for the past few times.) I've been doing clinicals for the past few weekends from 6:45 in the morning to 5:00 at night. Weekends are normally my blogging time. And even though I got home at 5:00 it doesn't mean that I didn't have things to do. Every night after I came home, I showered, (which for you who don't know me takes quite a while) because I was in a nursing home the whole day and felt a bit dirty. And then add dinner and relaxing to movies or *shudder* homework. I haven't had time to blog. Sorry. I will try to be better. Anyway, getting to the point, I'm here to post a very late birthday message to my very special sister, Abby and to participate in Emily's character game that she posted a month (or maybe two) ago. Happy 13th birthday, Abby. (I know that you're now 13 years and 1 and a half months, but who's counting). I love you so very much and I can't believe you're already a teenager. I still consider you my little sister, you know that? I have this need to protect you all the time. :) So don't get mad at me when I won't let you watch PG-13 movies. Even though you're 13 now. You're a talented writer and you always can make me laugh. I love getting your hugs when I'm mad or stressed, even if I don't always tell you at the time. Your chocolate chip cookies are amazing and I love watching you grow up, even if it is a little sad. We were always a trio, me, you and Emma. We liked playing orphans and filming corny movies, in which we sported fake British accents. We loved building forts and playing in them for hours on end. There was the Eeyore fort, the tree house (that's only about 1-3 feet off the ground), the igloo (which sadly isn't with us anymore). I have so many good childhood memories with you, like building David's creek, carving our names into the big aspen tree right outside our window, playing Food Network Star with leaves and flowers and pieces of bark, playing Lion in the Net with the ratty old hammock that used to hang on that dead tree outside. And even now we're making memories, with our late night theme nights with chick-flicks and snacks, Dutch Blitz tournaments, gambling with candy over gin rummy, helping each other solve Nancy Drew video games. I love you so much and I hope you know I do. :) Happy birthday! Now for Emily's character game. I am copying and pasting the rules from her blog. I have a game. If you would like to play, here is what you need: Supplies: -Dr. Elemis Pott's blog -Time -An imagination Rules: -No killing. -No smoking. -And don't die. Purpose and Goal of the Game: Dr. Elemis Pott's entertainment. Got that down? Good. If you love movies and fictional characters as much as I do, you'll love this game. How to Play: 1. Find a character in a movie, TV show, or book that looks most like you. 2. Find a character that acts most like you, and you think other people see you as. (Don't ask someone else. Come up with it on your own). 3. Find a character that expresses you childhood best, or has a story similar to yours. 4. Find a character that expresses your *takes a deep breath and prepares to say a very corny sentence* inner you. (Not what people see you as outwardly). 5. And finally, find a character that shares a habit or interest that you also have. 6. If you have a blog, you may blog it, or if you wish to send it to me through email I'll post it as a guest post. If you like. Here are mine. This could go so many ways and I'm just the slightest bit tempted to ask the guy sitting at the computer next to me what actress I look like...I am way overthinking this. 1. Find a character in a movie, TV show, or book that looks most like you. Quick sidenote, how can I find a picture of a character in a book that looks like me....Maybe if it's a picture book, I guess. 2. Find a character that acts most like you, and you think other people see you as. 3. Find a character that expresses your childhood best, or has a story similar to yours. Or maybe this... 4. Find a character that expresses your inner you. (Not what people see you as outwardly) 5. Find a character that shares a habit or interest that you also have.

About Me!Hannah writes to satisfy her imagination. She's written six books so far--five of which need to be rewritten--and is working on a seventh. She ranges through a variety of genres, but favors contemporary YA, fixing broken characters. She wants to use her writing to change people and bring hope. She's currently going to college for Nursing and that takes up most of her writing time. She's a rather stereotypical writer, talking to imaginary friends, eavesdropping on people at the store, secretly being nosy, stashing herself away in her room with a paper and pen and chocolate and her teddy bear. She loves Jesus, the way the morning smells, her family of seven (four siblings), old movies, fairy tales, candles at night and helping people. She writes on another blog at nerdywriter.blogspot.com to hopefully build her chances of publication. My Author Site:Archives
