Well, here's to us. Cheers!!
My name is Frances but I prefer Fran :)1-I am painfully shy & the thought of groups of ppl and crowded places sends me running for the hills!
2-I LOOOVE everything about the Fall, the leaves, the smells, Halloween and Thanksgiving, decorating for Halloween, picking apples and pumpkins, everything is so magikal and wonderful about the Fall! Scary movie marathons too :)
3-I have always wanted to learn how to do floral arranging. I took one class and it was awesome.
4-I want to do something great with my life like help animals. Create a not for profit agency, animal sanctuary, etc. I cant STAND how animals are bred for greed or out of ignorance, the bs laws protecting animals from abuse/cruelty/neglect, etc.
5-I still believe deep down that the paranormal exists. Call it ghosts, life after death, trapped in this realm, etc.etc. Too many things go on that cant be explained away with logic or science.
So I just came back from the MidWest Writer's Conference and I would say that anyone who is serious about writing and lives in the Mid West should think about attending. The people there are amazing!

So much fun. I went back and rewatched the first season...thank goodness they got rid of all the fog, ravens and creepy jumping. And thank goodness we get to see Ian Somerhalder shirtless more often.
What have you written? I recently got into Vampire Diaries. Goodness, I love Damon...
Christi wrote: "What have you written? I recently got into Vampire Diaries. Goodness, I love Damon..."My debut, TORN, was released in June. It's a YA paranormal - angels, no vampires :) My 2nd book, Three Days of Rain, is a Women's Fiction and will be out January 2013 and I'm writing the sequel to TORN now.
I love Damon too....he's absolutely fantastic.
Nice. I'll be sure to read it. :) Stefan's pretty cute, but Damon... and I love Damon's personality, too. I'd seen Ian Somerhalder on Lost, but it's like he magically got even more gorgeous on Vampire Diaries.
Christi wrote: "What have you written? I recently got into Vampire Diaries. Goodness, I love Damon..."Damon is such a great character. He's the one you love to watch try to be good, but just can't be. Heh.
I've written the BRIGHTEST KIND OF DARKNESS series. The second BKoD book, LUCID, just released in July.
Christine wrote: "Ian Somerhalder shirtless "I can't imagine that Ian misses being Boone from LOST. He's come into his own with his Damon character. LOVE his inability to be good. LOL!
True. Ha ha. He's better suited for Damon. From the few episodes I've seen, Stefan's a bit of a stick in the mud anyway. ;)
I really wanted Elena to pick him!
Christi wrote: "Stefan's a bit of a stick in the mud anyway. ;)"He really is!
Ultimately, she needs to pick the guy who makes her better. Thing is...they each have their own appeal. Damon is just waaay more fun.
P.T. wrote: "Ultimately, she needs to pick the guy who makes her better. Thing is...they each have their own appeal. Damon is just waaay more fun."Very true...and sexier!
