Anton (antontroia) | 45 comments I agree.

And I do enjoy walking on the beach, the rhythmic sounds of the waves lull me to think. I can't imagine living anywhere without a beach to drive to. Or a riverside at least.


message 202: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Ya I love the sand, the rocks, and the sound of waves. I love watching the sun set and rise and I love the moon reflection on the surface! I just love the oceans and seas. Sadly haven't been to any in a few months :(!


message 203: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments I am extremely bored and in need of a conversation. There isn't much to do at 12:59 AM around here and those whom I refer to as friends are either busy or asleep. So..anybody home?!


message 204: by Riya (new)

Riya Haha nice!! I'm the same way- I'm like always on goodreads if ever you wanna send me a message about anything or to just chat :)

And I've had an awesome time lately, I'm on vacation in Washington, D.C. right now :D
Brought prodigy, beautiful creatures, and incarceron (that's a reread though)

How's everyone else?


message 205: by Sarah (new)

Sarah | 78 comments I was actually fascinated by buetiful creatures as I tend to enjoy YA criminal books for reason, and this was one of the ones I checked out. (Others include Snitch, Street Pharm, and Rikers High.)

I like the concept of black and grey morality when I read.

I went to DC a couple of weeks ago and it was awesome! Have a great time!


message 207: by Riya (new)

Riya Haha thanks!! This is my third time visiting and every time I love it even more! It's definitely one of my favorite cities :)


message 208: by Sasha (new)

Sasha (sashabug13) We visited for the day then stayed in Alexandria, VA (also awesome)! I have only been twice but I agree with you! Each time I go, it just gets better! :)


message 209: by Riya (new)

Riya Definitely!! I went once as a young kid and we pretty much went to the museums. Then I went on a huge class trip and we did everything- museums, memorials, Gettysburg, mt Vernon, all of it!! If you haven't been I recommend mount Vernon- that was beautiful!


message 210: by Sasha (new)

Sasha (sashabug13) Hopefully I will get to go back soon and see Mount Vernon! We walked and saw stuff like the White House and the Capitol. We also went to Arlington for a funeral and it was sad but amazing! I wish we could have toured Arlington. I would suggest that if you have never been. It is not far from DC


message 211: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Hey Amelia! It has been a while! I think it's the same thing during summer for everyone! School starts soon for me and part of me is waiting for it while the other part wishes it never comes!

I never been to DC :(! But it's one of the cities that I'd love to see. My Dad stayed there and from the pics and the stories? It sounds like an amazing place. And it's always been a dream of mine to see the Library of Congress and The Abraham Lincoln Memorial (he's one of my favorite historical figures)


message 212: by Sasha (last edited Aug 07, 2013 10:24PM) (new)

Sasha (sashabug13) Abraham Lincoln was awesome

Tracy C | 38 comments Abraham Lincoln still is awesome :)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Hey hey!


message 216: by Anton (new)

Anton (antontroia) | 45 comments Abraham Lincoln was more than a politician. I admire him greatly.

Hello everyone! What's the good word?


message 217: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Hey there Anton!

Well for starters it's late! Haha but life is still going (maybe not as good as I'd hoped) but its going and I guess that's all that matters. U?

message 241: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments I write!! I'm working on a novel to use as my senior year project. I'm hoping to have it done sometime med November! And having writing tips WOULD be pretty good : )!

funny thing I JUST woke up and here it's 7:45am. God this whole time difference never always amazes me! Haha

@Amelia, Matt! Haha he's me favorite Doctor(not that I have seen all of them or finished watching yet)!


message 242: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments : ) thanks! And what's ur novel about? Like what genre? Hope everything work out with the website xP!

I wasn't a fan when Matt was chosen so I didn't really know, but when I found out I liked him right away! Haha he's pretty funny and so sweet (and I already liked him from b4 anyways)

Come on!!! I love doc 12! Hahaha! He's a big fan of DW and sometimes I feel like he's more excited than we r! xD let's at least give him the benefit of the doubt.

THAT, I have never even thought about let one dream! Haha and I wouldn't remember if I did :/


message 243: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Well really stocked to see what you wrote! I'm not really planning to publish mine(yet) but my mentor/editor thinks otherwise. So idk, I mean for me right now is getting it all done and ready for my senior presentation of Jan.

David is a great doctor too (I'm still watching his DW) but like I said I have likes Matt b4 and I'm super excited to start his DW.

I know OF TD but never really seen it seen it. Like I think I saw an episode or two but just b/c they were on. I know John Barrowman (Captain Harkness) from Arrow and I love his ability to pretty much the bad AND the good guy both in such a great way!

I have see Peter only once in a movie (Locla Hero) it's pretty old but he's was great so I'm hoping some of that greatness goes into the doc and he seems really into it so I'm crossing fingers : )


message 244: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Okay LOTs of grammar typos!! God! Sorry


message 245: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Well. Happy I got the waking up part done! Haha

I'm going to the "farm market" but dreading the heat :/! Then going to Hastings (a book store).
Around maybe 6? I'm going with the fam to a family party, looking forward to this it's not really fun but it usually has something FUNNy going on and those ppl ALWAYS have got something going on. And god the gossip that will take place. It's lots of fun just watching really its a like a small society of its own.

Then hoping to go late night biking with my sister : )

Seems like a LONG day but I'm sure SOMETHING will get canceled better not be my bookstore though! Haha

How about u? What time is it for ya anyways?


message 246: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments By fam part I mean more than one fam btws. Ppl usually think that means just family members but no it's just more of like family friends (u know families that my parents know).
I have a pretty big family (both sides) but we live far away (thousands of miles away) and not all of are at one place more of all over the map. The closest to us is my uncle in DC and a cousin in Canada.

Well guess what? Book store got canceled :/!
I had a feeling it well!!

I have been on a big pause in my writing now. For like a week or so! I had this major break through and did research and started fixing things, but then I just froze! Meeting with my mentor/editor Tuesday hoping talking w/ her will clear things out!

It was super hot yesterday!! But today it isn't so bad as long as u r not wear black ur good.

I haven't been on a run for a while. I like biking more esp at night when the whether is cool and sometimes it even rains a bit.

Hello?


message 248: by David (new)

David Estes (davidestesbooks) | 1040 comments You all are such a crack up! I just read through all your posts and was laughing my head off :)

I have anIndie Author series on my blog with a few posts, one about Everything I Wish I Knew When I Started Writing, and people really loved it, so I think that's a great idea, Amelia!


message 249: by Az (أسماء) (new)

Az (أسماء) | 348 comments Hey Melanie : )

Glad to make u laugh David xD!
After all I like to believe that's what we're here for :P


message 250: by Sasha (new)

Sasha (sashabug13) Y'all are hilarious!

I read And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie And Then There Were None  by Agatha Christie I stay up all the time! xD

It's 3:42 here and I just woke up..

I can't decide on my favorite Doctor. I loved Nine, Ten, and Eleven and still need to watch Classic DW.

Hope y'all had/are having good days!
