Drop a Line

So you know the phrase drop a line?

I actually did that once. When I was little and not a great fisher, I was attempting my first cast (throwing my hook out into the lake), but I didn't do it right, and my spool went way to loose way to fast, and i had a lot of fishing line drooped around me and tangled in a mess.  I would've cried at my complete uselessness if my uncles tim and jesse and my aunt jill weren't so kind to me.

moving on, i have a few thoughts:

i love murder mystery tv show characters, but i absolutely HATE how gruesome and disturbing those shows are.  i wish they just weren't so graphic. my imagination is bad enough. i don't need those very detailed and realistic scenes replaying and developing in my head.  but i figure it's good, because i'll be able to recognize the signs of a crazy person who might kill me, so it's got to be educational, right? (or as my cousin pointed out, it could teach me all of the ways people make mistakes when they murder people, so i won't make those types of mistakes when i commit a crime, if that's the pathway i'm inclined to take.) (don't worry, i'm not inclined to murder anyone.)

i found a job ad for stampin' up. they want someone with production experience and a degree in a communications field. does that sound perfect for me or what?  i could videograph/edit for a scrapbooking company, and then i could keep my eyes out for a marketing/writing/editing position within that same company once i'm bored with multimedia, all the while getting discounts on my favorite creative hobby, or maybe i could graphically design the types of papers and stamps and accessories i wish i had.  so it's kind of a dream job. i hope i get it, but if i don't, hobby lobby is hiring, so that's another craft heaven, even if the job would be very entry level.

all of you who trust my opinion on books, i found a great series from a dearest friend of mine. it's written with a style that fits adolescent novel genres, so it's an easy read.  it's fantasy, but without trolls and giants and dragons--it just has magic and knights.  the main character is a heroine, so it's refreshing perspective from all the male heroes in books like this. it's the "alanna" or "song of the lioness" series by tamora pierce. i think there are 4 books, and i'm on the 3rd one.  i got these books in a temporary exchange for my copy of "daughter of the forest," my all-time favorite by juliet marillier (check spelling).

also...i've still got something going on with a man named jared. i don't like talking about it much because i discovered that i like to keep those types of things private, but i thought i should let you know, because this blog really is primarily for me to look back on, and if it doesn't all work out, i still want to remember jared.

and...um...i'm gonna try to post something on my other blog tomorrow.  i want more followers, so if you are LDS, check it out.  this is me begging you to consider another one of my blogs. if you don't want to, no foul. it's all good.  but i did get ANOTHER FOLLOWER when i wasn't paying attention.  I'm up to 37 now!! that means only 8 more!  Thanks everyone!

i hope to write more soon. (oh, and i'm working on a new book. the background is all set out, with politics and everything. it's gonna be the SHIZ!)
