Pencils and sweatshirts

I see a pencil unattended, it's mine. I pick it up, and put it into my right-side sweatshirt pocket, point end first. It may seem like an odd habit, but I always do so. Of course, if the pencil in question is worthless, I don't take it. Or if the pencil I know is someone else's. Just if it's a homeless pencil, it goes in my pocket.

So whenever I have to use a pencil in class, I just reach into my pocket and take it out. It's a whole lot easier than putting it somewhere like a binder or whatever. I mean, how do people carry their pencils?! I only can conceive it being in a pocket, but not all people have pockets.

Anyway, Icewolf is sick today. I'm coughing in an awful manor, sniffling every now and then, and just recently watched a show that's making me think oddly so I'm writing oddly. Thus, if I sound stiff, it's because I'm sick and I just watched a show where all the people were stiff.

Ah, I missed typing. I haven't done a lot of it recently, I'm more writing than anything. I'm almost done with book two of Outcasts! At first it seemed to me that I wasn't halfway done, but when I reached a certian scene it hit me that I was actually close to being done!

Whoa, I just realized something...give me a minute...December 8, 2009. That was a year ago technically. I've only gone through December 8, 2010, but not 2011. So I missed my one year anniversary of finishing Outcasts book one. Wow. It's been nearly...no it has been two years since I started writing about a young teenager who joins a werewolf pack.

I'm...shocked. Two years. Oddly, that seems like a lot to me. It's the longest I've ever spent on a specific writing.

....wow....

Xela, Tamiki, Aurum, Kayla, Akov, Ironamo, Flamdura, Emmy, Dragon, Morano, Linar, Takalo, the Forest Pack, triforms, were-hawks, were-dragons, the Ever-growing forest....all of it invented TWO years ago. Not one.

Oh wow.

Sorry guys, I keep obsessing over this, but it amazes me.

Huh.

Bleeding Hearts

*sigh* They're such wonderful flowers, aren't they? I just remembered I loved them as much as orchids and lilacs.

So here's the story. YOU CAN SKIP IF YOU WANT, JUST A SMALL LITTLE RANT..ISH...THING...

Tonight I was supposed to go out to the movies with a guy. Wasn't sure if it was a date or not, but it was still pretty...amazing to me. Well, he didn't have a ride, so tonight I'm stuck at home. With a bleeding heart. So why do I still feel for him?! In all logic, this should break my heart and cause me to shun him right? It did break my heart, but I still really like him. The more I think, the more confused I get. The more I argue with myself, the more irrational I seem. He's an amazing and wonderful guy. *pauses* I dunno... life and love are confusing.

END RANT-ISH-THING

Anyway, thank you if you read that. Just sorta needed to get it off my chest just a little.

I'm not getting sick...I'm not getting sick

But of course, my body rebells against me. I'm sucking down Coldeeze every change I get, and simply refusing to get sick. I have an important even Friday that I can't miss!!! So, please pray that I get better, even though it's such a minor thing, it's really important to me.

Anyway, I just got back from watching the world's most stereotypical movie. I don't know what it's called, but it goes something like this

-Twins sisters are match-makers, their parents are divorced
-They fall in love and ask to the dance the same guy
-The guy falls in love with both
-Guys' cousin like Twin 1


And I sorta stopped there. Twin 1would have ended up with the cousin, and the other ending up with the other guy, parents somehow get back together. Stereotypical. I like plot-twists.

All for now,

One Year Old

One year ago, little Icewolf asked her mother if she could start a blog. One year later, the blog has evolved in SO many ways!

Today is my blogerversary! :D I almost thought I missed it, but today is the day!

Names my blog has gone through:
Icewolf's Den
The Yellow Notebook
Randomness is Truly Sweet
Define Normal (for my lack of one)

Personally, my favorite is Define Normal. It describes the purpose of this blog in so many ways. So, I don't know what to do for this wonderful event. Just, thank you all for following my blog.

First, I would like to thank Shimmer, who was my very first follower. She has been a faithful follower throughout this year and I would like to thank her. Memories:
This was the original WOW characters. Don't know what happened to Mango, but Shimmer stuck with me through it all. Thank you Shimmer.


Second, Golden Eagle. I think she was around my second follow, but don't hold me accountable for that, I barely remember what I had for breakfast. But anyways, she also faithfully commented on my blog, though I'm sad to say I haven't done the same, and resolute to do so. Thank you Eagle.

Thirdly, Jayden. My fellow author and her characters. She always made me smile with her characters antics, and made me laugh to see how they evolved in the World of What-not. Thank you Jayden.

And lastly, for all of you newer followers, I appreciate you just as well, even if I don't mention your name.



I thank you all.


~Icewolf, now 1 year old.

Only love

After a heart-break, what is the only thing that would cause you to keep going back? I guess only love. Real life situation: You're friend ask you why you still like a guy, even when there's obviously been a heartache. Reason? None. You just do like them.

Now, imagine this: You reject God, over and over again. But He still loves you. Always. Now, I've been meaning to do this for a while, because I realized all I ever talk about on this blog is myself. So, pushing past me, I'm going to talk about the one person who can change a life in a heartbeat. And no, he's not Doctor Who.

And I bet you can guess the answer.

So I've had my own bible for about 3 years now, and every time I come across a verse that really strikes me, I mark it with a bit of paper. I'll write down the verses, and if it's a passage, then I'll comment, but for the most part, I'll let you guys take it in your own way.

Onwards, shall we:
Oops, this was before I wrote the verse on the paper. :P I guess I put it there for the passage that i have in my bible. (Along the sides, there's extra stuff for teens) It talks about a person, asking God why their life sucks. He asked why was his life turning this way?

Does it matter, God replied.

I know I've said this a thousand times, but God has a plan. And he is SO much smarter than anyone in the entire universe. Does it matter that things don't go they way you planned?

*reads on* It also says that God's generosity is something to be cherished, not to be taken granted for. That's something I think we all do.


Ah, here we go. 2 Samuel 14:14b
"But God does not sweep away life; instead, he devises ways to bring us back when we have been separated from him."

Psalm 89: 33-34
"But I will never stop loving him
nor fail to keep my promise to him
No, I will not break my covenant;
I will not take back a single word I said." (Isn't that a great one for weddings?!)

Proverbs 4:24 (this one really hits me home, going through school and all)
"Avoid all perverse talk;
stay away from corrupt speech."

Respect your elders, Proverbs 16:31
"Gray hair is a crown of glory;
it is gained by living a godly life."

Proverbs 30:18-19
"There are three things that amaze me-
no, four things that I don't understand:
how an eagle glides through the sky,
how a snake slithers on a rock,
how a ship navigates the ocean,
how a man loves a woman."

Oh, *laughs* Did they ever tell you this at school? I had it taped in golden paper on my desk, and was surprised to see it in the bible cause I saw it at school first.
Matthew 7:12
"Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you."
It's titled "The Golden Rule"

And that's all for today. Hope you liked it!

Torn

The desire to laugh, and scream, and puke, and cry for joy, and stare in disbelief, and to curl up in a ball, and to hug everyone in sight just isn't a good combination.

Just though I'd let you guys know just in case you've EVER wanted to experience all that at once.

So, I had midterms today. If you don't know what they are, they're a bunch of stuff we've learned from all year so far put into one giant test. Sounds scary, and most of my friends (myself included) were freaking out over this. And it was sorta easy.

Alright blogworld:

Inora: *GASP* It's been too long.
Crystal: I know we haven't been released into this world in forever!!!
Mimm: You're telling me!
Tamiki: Mimm! You haven't been introduced!
Mimm: Then Icewolf should do the honors.
Icewolf: Alright, so Mimm comes from the Muddle In My Mind. Says it all.
Mimm: Wonderful name, right?
..........
Inora: Iiiiiiiiiiicewolf. You there?
Icewolf: No.
Tamiki: But we just got talking!
Crystal: Can we keep talking?
Icewolf: *sigh* sure, but I'm too dazed to talk, so don't expect my responses
Tamiki: But we love it when you talk back!
Inora: ....
Mimm: It isn't the same when she doesn't talk.
Crystal: I know!
Icewolf: I'm just...zoned.
Inora: I bet you are.
Icewolf: I don't want to fight.
Inora: *glares, but shuts up*
Tamiki: Um....okay then....is this another author character thing?
Mimm: Yes, and Icewolf is very conflicted.
Icewolf: Alright, alright, let's get away from all the sad stuff.
Mimm: ICE CREAM?
Tamiki: *conjures ice cream*
Crystal: Sweet!!!
Inora: *grabs ice cream* any other randomness?
Icewolf: Not right now...


Yeah, my mind is REALLY zoned right now.

New Blog

http://icewolfphotography.blogspot.com/

That's all!

~Icewolf

Sorry guys

I've been busy with school, and theater, and sleep, and life, that I missed a very long time in blogworld. Yes, a week is a LONG time in blog time, cause once you're back, you have a whole heck of a lot to catching up to do.

So my school play went BRILLIANTLY. Tons of people came every night, there was tons of backstage drama, tons of pictures taken, and not a lot of sleep over the last couple days. But hey, it's worth it to be in my theater group. It's so much fun.

Alright, so little Icewolf sitting on the couch, hanging on Doctor Who's every word, the climax getting closer and...

"We're sorry, Netflix connection has failed. Would you like to try again (Yes/No)"
Icewolf: What. The. Fudge. TV YOU HAD BETTER NOT DO THIS TO OR SO HELP ME I WILL BEAT YOU SEVERALLY! *clicks yes*
TV: Sorry, connection-
Icewolf: SCREW YOU! *storms to computer, tries to watch there*
Computer: Connection has failed.
Icewolf: DON'T YOU DARE DO THIS TO ME!

And later that night I managed to reset the TV's connection and got it working again. I swear I was going to have a heart attack.

And yes, I'm that pathetic with Doctor Who. I freaking cried! I don't cry for ANY TV show!

Also, in the life of Icewolf, she is going to be taking manga lessons in the near future! *Yay!* I'm very happy for that.

Oh! Holy freaking fudge! My blogerversary is 6 days away!!! *tear tear* This blog is soon to be 1 year old!

Alright, signing off.

The last dragon update

Dragon Update:

Girnio: He's well and happy, helps me out here and there.
Gareth: Also well. He's been dubbed my fate/games dragon and is the possessor and protector of my collection of 12 dice.
Ginny: Is finally home! I wrote on my hand to remind myself that she needed to come home soon, and I got to take her home today! She was very nervous during the transfer from the art room to my house (going to various places along the way), but she made it! I have pictures uploading now, and I'm just so thrilled they're all home!

Each one has a newspaper egg birth. I would take them, wrap them into a ball of newspaper, and deliver them home where they were opened into a new world. I look at each of them with extreme pride - the pride of a mother I would assume, but don't hold me accountable for that.

Life continues to baffle me

It's weird. I'm weird. Everything is weird.

I'm finding more and more, that I truly do make a difference in people's lives. I know how corny and commercial (not to mention a tad self-centered ((SORRY!!!))) that sounds, but it's true. You never really know how much you impact someone unless they do something wonderful for you and it takes you unaware. I find that people who I never think about in depth, think highly of me even when I can't think highly of myself.

So, why doesn't everyone? I think that everyone does mean a WHOLE lot to someone (not including God of course, cause he'll alway love you) else. You can think you're hated by everyone, but there is someone who loves you. It may be a parent, a friend, or a adult figure you admire. And if there's none of those, God always will love you.

Just a little thought.

So today, I made cookies. Yum.

And while making cookies, I did my Honors essay. Yuck.

And after the essay while I was doing dishes, I created a song about completing my essay and the joy of having it done to the tune of 'White Christmas'. Wow.

Life baffles me.

Signed with a hum of 'I completed my essay',

Oh goodness, sorry!

It's been a while since my last post, but trust me, I still kept up with you guys.

So I just finished watching Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I was close to tears at the end! Not because Dumbledor died, but how touching it was that everyone raised their wands slowly to dispel the dark mark. *tear tear* Epic.

I have to say, I'm so glad the Harry Potter series stayed pretty spot on throughout. Sure, they had to cut a few scenes, but I think it was necessary for the way they were so accurate. 

So today I just starting this one story thinger, so tell me how you like it...


September 3, 4098
                    
Dear whoever gets this,

I’m told that our class is sending letters to anonymous people at other schools, so that we may learn from them – and them about us. My question is, lean what? Aren’t we all humans? Don’t we all function the same way?

Anyway, I just wanted to put that out there. Maybe you have the answer. I’m Mimm by the way. Mimm Clearva. And yes my name does have two m’s at the end. My teachers used to yell at me for that, saying I was spelling my own name wrong. Imagine that! Spelling my own name wrong, I mean, seriously, how stupid are these people? But no, my mother always told me that it IS spelled with two m’s, and no matter what other people said it would be.

I don’t know what else to write right now. So, anonymous, can you tell me what we have to learn?

Until you write back,
Mimm


September 24, 4098 (right?)

Dear Mimm,

I’m not quiet sure what you mean by human. What is a class?  I am…confused by you.

I’m not sure I should be writing back either. Then again, I’m not sure about anything. And besides, I do a lot of things I shouldn’t. Learning to read for example. Here, where I live, we aren’t allowed to read. Our teachers (that is what they are called, yes?) forbid us to learn, but I managed by reading the test sheets they sometimes leave behind. I have even learned to write.

Maybe your letter got to me by mistake. After all, I found it during Outdoor Time, which is my favorite time of the day. I get to feel warm and sometimes cold, experience different things like ‘wind’ and ‘rain. I stole a pencil and paper from my teachers, and am writing you back.

I hope you write back to me as well. I’d like that very much. Only thing is, how do I get it to you? I’ll find out.

Oh, my name is RX583U.


October 15, 4098

Dear RX583U,

Wow, you have a very weird name. Could I just call you Roxy? Or if you are a boy, Rox? That would just be easier on me.

Seems like you got your letter to me alright. That’s so cool! Outdoor Time sorta sounds like our recess. I don’t like going out into the rain much. And why can’t you learn to read or write? I think to reach a certain level of intelligence, legibility should be reached. If you don’t understand that, that’s okay, I sometimes use too many big words for my age. It confuses most of my friends, and my parents don’t like it. They get unnerved by it.

This is actually kind of fun. Can’t wait to hear back from you!

Mimm.

Ps. a class is a group of people who learn together at school.


November 5, 4098

Dear Mimm,

You’re last letter turned out weird. Some of the lines were gone over in black marker. Did you cross some lines out? And sure, you can call me Roxy. My teachers said I was female.

They are allowing me to write back to you and everything! I’m so happy, and they were especially proud that I had learned to ‘reach legibility’ without help. They gave me ice cream for it! I feel asleep afterwards, and felt a bit weird when I woke up. But I guess that’s because I hadn’t had any ice cream in forever.

I have a class too! It’s me, P4Y8I (a boy, so could you think of a good name for him? He found out that I have a ‘name’ and he wants one too. They all do), TR3S4 (girl), and R056N (boy again). We all learn things like how to climb over certain things or how to survive in aquatic (that’s one of my new words!) areas. I have a lot of fun.

Can’t wait to hear from you soon!
Roxy


November 26,4098

Dear Roxy,

P4Y8I could be Peter, TR3S4 can be Teresa, and R056N can be Ron. I hope they like their names. It’s weird; you guys all have weird names. And weird things to learn. I’m starting to see how I can learn from you, and I’m getting excited about getting your letters.

At my school we learn things like math and science. Right now, we get to experiment with ice, and seeing what happens when we put it one white and black paper. Did you know that black attracts more heat? It makes me feel bad from a few kids in my class.

I personally don’t think much of ice cream. By my friends can’t get enough of it. Do you like it? And that’s weird about the black markering, I don’t remember crossing out anything.

Mimm


December 17, 4098

Dear Mimm,

Peter, Teresa, and Ron all are grateful and excited about their names. We don’t dare let out teachers know about them though – they’d think we are getting ‘too smart for our own good’. A guy who named himself Robbie got too smart for his own good once. He ran out of our room and we never saw him again. Our teachers never talked about him either, even when we asked. Teresa misses him, and I think she used to like him on what our teachers label as on a ‘chemical level’. Whatever that means.

What is with your letters? The whole second section was blacked out. I’m not sure, but I think my teachers read my letters before I get them. I don’t think I like that thought very much.

So, tell me about your school. What is it like?

Roxy


January 7, 4099

Dear Roxy,

You’re whole letter was blacked out! I don’t know what else to write!

Mimm


January 7, 5000

Dear Mimm,

I’m so sorry that it’s been a year since our last letter. I couldn’t trust my teachers anymore.

We had to run away from school.

I found out our school wasn’t like other schools. Our school constantly tests us in the ways of combat and fighting. Peter, Teresa, and Ron all say “hi” by the way. All of us are fine, but we are on the run. If you see something called the ‘Runaway Children: Wanted for recent crimes’, that’s us. They’ve given us names as well for the posters. I’m called Rose Greenway, Teresa is Hannah Urkisha, Peter is Tom Curt, and Ron is Ronald Firr. Isn’t it funny how they got his name close? Please still call us by the names you gave us. We aren’t bad kids, or did any of the things they say we did.

They just want us back.

We agree that’s it’s risky to send you a letter, but you ARE the one who brought us to awareness that there is something else outside our school. We are free, and we forever have Outdoor time.

We’re going to stay where we are until you send us a letter. Then we’ll move to a different location. We’ll be going from orphanage (I’ve learned that they’re places that keep parentless children) to orphanage. And the people who work there don’t care if we come or go. The less they have to feed and care for, the better off they are.

Please write back. We’ll be waiting.

Roxy, Peter, Teresa, and Ron.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


January 21, 5000

My dear Runaways,

I’ve seen you guys on the news and stuff! My parents responded to the ad saying how you were wanted for crimes committed recently by murmuring about how messed up teenagers were these days. I got angry at that. Wasn’t it the adults that had gotten messed up and ruined your lives? I wanted to get up and scream at them so bad, but then again, that would give me away. If my parents knew that I know you guys, they’d want me to turn you in right away. I can’t do that to innocent people.

Your letter came to me very quickly after you sent it. I can tell by the date. Before it took around 3-4 weeks and now it comes around 2 weeks. I’d have to guess that you would be traveling toward my direction, but going diagonally. I know this because if you came straight toward my direction in a year, you would be close.

I’m thinking of a plan to get you guys to be safe, so just come to my address okay? I’ll find you guys a place to live.

Mimm

But *sniffle* I'm on Dr. Who withdraw. Haven't watched it in 3 days! *SCREAM* Or 2, it just seems like a long time.

So today I was at play practice for my school and I got to scream. Like a terrified maniac. Which I was, by the way. It was WICKED. Background people rule.

I'm disappointed and hurt. No one wanted to do my contest. And I was looking forward to it. The only winner (and almost the only enter ((Scezzle, yours counts, but))). Sofie won with

My cookie. Mine. You can't have it.

For the last one. *sniff* I almost wasn't going to blog tonight due to this. But don't worry, it's okay - contest closed. Congrats Sofie.

So! Just finished Doctor Who season 3 and onto season 4!!!
