Vampire Vocab

This is a journal entry that I did on the second-to-last day of school when we had our field day. I was involved in the “watermelon eating contest” where you had to eat a slice of watermelon as fast as possible with your hands behind your back. As the teachers gathered the other people participating [...]

My cat Miles is an old and senile Maine Coon. He is absolutly beautiful, with his long black, brown and white fur, so I began to wonder “Is he as old as I thought he was, or much older?” Could my very own cat be one of the blood-drinking immortal? His teeth are pretty sharp… [...]

No, I did not misspell Vampire. I would never do such an evil thing! I Have a pie recipe that I highly recommend that you try, and it reminds me of vampires: sweet, seductive, and I cant get enough of it! It’s a very simple pie to make and I found the recipe on Epicurious. [...]

There is something I forgot to mention in my “likes” section of the “About” page: lists! I love to make lists: pro/cons, ordered by preference, etc. So, now I’m going to multitask: recommend books and talk about my favorite subject: vampires! I highly recommend that you read the books listed, and click on the links [...]

All right! As promised, here’s a book review, but all ye who read here, be thou warned: it’s sooo vamp romance. Bit the Jackpot by Erin McCarthy is my first book review, because I like that she doesn’t assume that vampires always live in cold, remote areas, and that all they want is blood, blood, [...]

This is vampire vocab, so whenever I post, I’ll have a word from a vampire book I’ve read, and the context in which I read it. Or It will be a word I like, put into a vampire-y sentence. This week’s word is: Repugnant! the definition on Dictionary.com is: re⋅pug⋅nant /rɪˈpʌgnənt/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [ri-puhg-nuhnt] [...]

If you read my “about” page, you heard me say (write, whatever) that my house is filled with bloggers. Now, I’m absolutely certain that everyone thinks their mom is the most awesome (except for Janie from Wake by Lisa Mcmann. Such a cool book, my gosh.) but mine really is. She blogs on retro-food. A [...]

Just a video…of me of course.
