LISTENING TO: Dance with Me Tonight — Olly Murs


CURRENTLY READING: Pure, by Julianna Baggot


It’s been forever and I’m really sorry for it. But life kicked my butt again.


*WE’RE MOVING!* Again… This is my … well, I actually lost track, but we’re talking ‘double-digits move’. It used to be easy, but now when there’s a house to sell, a new one to buy, a school to say goodbye to and a n...

“He lowered his mouth to mine anyway, close enough that our lips almost brushed for a millisecond before his glided across my cheek, his breath laying a fiery trail from the corner of my mouth to my ear.
"I'm not going to kiss you, Lily," he whispered. "I'm patient. I'll wait until you want it bad enough."
[...]
"You'll be asking for it soon," he added. "No hesitation.”
Ramona Wray, Hex: A Witch and Angel Tale

“Before I knew it, my daily schedule had started to look a lot like this:

Monday: Woke up, thought of Ryder; went to school, stared at Ryder; had lunch with J, gaped at Ryder; went to PE, brooded over Ryder's absence; went home, thought of Ryder; took a drive "accidentally" passing by Dave's Garage, spied on Ryder; came home, thought of Ryder; had dinner, no appetite due to lack-of Ryder; went to bed, tossed and turned thinking about Ryder.
Tuesday: See above, with minor adjustments.
Wednesday: Ryder wasn't in school, my world collapsed
Thursday: Same as Monday and Tuesday
Friday: See above.
Saturday: Nightmarishly long, boring. Drove by Dave's Garage twice, hoping to see Ryder.
Sunday: See above, minus the drive-by. But, yay, tomorrow I'll see Ryder in school! God bless Mondays.”
Ramona Wray, Hex: A Witch and Angel Tale

“I love how you look at me."
[...]
"And how's that?" I asked, blushing on cue.
His lower lip curled in that mischievous way it did.
"Like you're having a hard time deciding between my lips and this blueberry pie. And I know nothing comes between you and this pie."
I giggled. "Very observant. Wonder which one will win?”

Oh, yeah, we're having fun alright :-) Ashley just PM me with the same question lol. She also asked if you really wanted a boxing match :P But no, I don't see that accomplishing much. I need you both! (in one piece, preferably) You make an awesome team.

Cillian  Beyond Birthday Ashley wants the context, Cillian wants the action. They’re both right. But pleasing them both results in tens and tens and tens of pages. And some premature white hairs which are now peeking behind my ears. Cillian suggested a boxing match to settle this. I refused to let the matter be settled through blood-and-guts spillage. Ashley suggested to move on and return to this chapter sometime in the future.

Ramona Wray Funny, I was just expounding on this in the PM... No, you're not too literal. You're more centered, if anything. I would say Ms. Kittredge is on the right-side extreme. Like smn else I vaguely know, lol

Cillian  Beyond Birthday Responded PM and left post in the review. I thought about the frostbite burn, I saw once in a movie a dude that got a frostbite that turned his fingers black. But, I don't think she worded it very well...

Cillian  Beyond Birthday Lucian is supposed to have blue eyes, and Lily is read haired, why didn't they choose a dude with blue eyes and a chick with read hair for the trailer???
