...Is really getting to me. I swear, if I keep coughing like this for the rest of the day, I will puke my guts out.
Am I sick? Or is it allergy?
Honestly, I don't really know. I happen to take things to the extreme, and so does my...uh...body? Anyhow, so when I'm sick, I get really sick. The cough-like-crazy-puke-everyday-stay-in-bed-unmoving sick. Even if it's just a small cold.
And for allergies, I cough-like-crazy, feel really tired, and...
I hate my life.
Okay, rant over. (:

The Huntress
Hey there (:
I've decided to write a new story, The Huntress. Yeah, I'm putting Lelenorae on hold, and focusing on TH now since it's easier for me to write. Believe it or not, it's in THIRD person! *audience applauds* This is my first time writing in third person seriously, and so far it's doing great! I've posted it on inkpop:

Take a look if you have a chance ;) Now...here's an excerpt of Chapter One:
~★★★★★★★★★★~
Left foot.

~★★★★★★★★★★~
Left foot.Right foot.
Left foot.
Celeste stumbled, tripping over her own feet in weariness. Darkness shrouded her vision. Always, it was the darkness; beating down on her, blinding her, delaying her progress to a mind-numbing crawl. Her jaw sharpened in defiance against the weariness of a week’s non-stop travel.
Far back, in the deepest corners of her memory, she could remember the light; a bright; pure light that seemed to wrap around her like a blanket. Now, all that was wrapped around her was a seeping dread. Celeste turned her eyes once more to the ground, where placing her feet was the only thing she knew how to do in her frenzied mind.
Suddenly, a vehement shriek tore the silent atmosphere, as if the air itself were being ripped in half. Feverish tingles raced down Celeste’s spine, and her feet automatically lunged in opposite directions of the enemy. Her balance wavered, and she let out a cry as she tumbled down, scraping her knee and tearing her cloak.
Celeste covered her head as loose shale rained down on her. “Where are you…?” She gasped, turning in a circle. “I know you’re there…Show yourself!” Her throat constricted- the air stifling as if red hot claws were raking her sides.
Behind you. Celeste whipped around, dizzy with fear. Behind you. She turned again, staggered, and crashed against a boulder. Her legs had become straws and Celeste struggled to think past the fear that fogged her mind. One rule-one vital rule…
Survive.
~★★★★★★★★★~

10 Best Reads (Of the School Year)
Hey there (:
My, how fast this school year's come and gone! It's May, and there are only 28 more days of school! Can you believe it? 24 days of school! I still remember the most memorable day of the school year like yesterday.
Okay, that may not say much, as my 'most memorable day of the school year' happened in late March...haha XD I fail, no? But back to the subject: Here are my top 10 reads of the school year!
I'm not numbering them ;) If you told me to number them, I would cry of despair. I love all of these books to death!
Fire, by Kristen Cashore, is one of the books I could just pick up and read any hour of the day, any day of the week, and any month of the year. The author spins a wonderful tale of a human monster named Fire, who goes through many pain and happiness. I can never get bored of this amazing story!
Now, who can forget the lovely tale of Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester? Jane Eyre, who had been abused in childhood, ended up becoming a governess at Mr. Rochester's manor. She falls in love with Mr. Rochester, who is described as 'he was certainly not a handsome man'.
This wonderful tale of a girl slave, Eon, disguised as a boy in order to become a dragon master. I had originally ran around the library, mad with despair, for I had no books to read. Sad, right? Well, I came upon this book, stared at it, for, oh, about 2 milliseconds, then ran off to check it out. Well, this is DEFINITELY worth a read (:
Cassandra Clare spins a wonderful tale of myths, putting them into real life situations. Really, I was absolutely obsessed with Jace. He's like, the guy version of me in personality, and a bit crankier. Haha XD I also love this story cause, well, knives, marks, come on, people! Or is it just me?
Okay, so I love the concept of angels. They're cool, ethereal, and there are many versions of them. So I picked this book up in the library, ready for some good reading. To be honest, I can't say that this has the best plot ever. But what I can say is that this book definitely kept me entranced! I nearly missed my stop on the way back from school, and wouldn't have noticed at all if it were not for my friend's sister! Completely mortifying, but the book interested me that much-and believe me, it's quite hard for that to happen to me. I have a harsh judgment on books after all ;)
I admit, I judge books by their covers (and blurbs, of course :D). And, for me, how could I resist this? I absolutely adore the dress, and the way they had the model positioned-absolutely lovely (I'm a tomboy, but when it comes to beauty...)! I definitely wasn't disappointed. Sure, the she-dies-I-live-in-despair-until-she-comes-around is a tad overused, but I quite love it in this concept. Especially if there's another guy chasing the female lead. Daniel is the guy that lives, while Luce dies, either before they kiss or right after. And then there's Cam. The absolutely hot badass. I go for the rebel types...so...
Which one? Daniel or Cam?
For me, I absolutely love espionage books. CIA, MI6, who cares? I find them highly interesting, and sometimes wish that I was in the lead character's role-and maybe it's just my risk-taking part. Scorpia is the 5th book (6th?) in the Alex Rider series, and this is my absolute favorite out of the rest! I suppose that this is when Alex Rider turns on the MI6, and though he goes back at the end...we get an insight on the bad guys!
Again, I judged the books cover, and again, I definitely wasn't disappointed! Melissa Marr spins a wonderful tale of faeries, ruled by different courts-High, Summer, Winter, and Dark Court. All I have to say is-definitely worth a read!

If you're the kind of person who loves mythology, this book is perfect! There are Greek, Roman, Celtic, Norse, etc. mythology in this book, and it adds in auras of humans. I also completely love this book, and the emotion is real and gripping-you can't help but feel sorry for the characters, or happy for them. A definite must read!
Another book that I can read over and over again! Here, you take a look at a former thief's life, but what happens when she gets caught up in family business again?
So, there are my Top Ten reads of the year! I admit that I read these before this school year, but I re-read them so...they count! Haha XD Hope you guys take a look at least wonderful books, and like them too!

What's Your Favorite Genre?
Hey there (:
So...I'm in class, totally not following the rules and is on this blog instead of doing my project...admit it. I'm an amazing procrastinator. I always find things to do that puts off my true homework. Or maybe it's just the simple fact that I never know what to do on a project till the last minute. Or possibly that fact that I simply just don't want to do it. But I can't stay on for long-class is almost over. Then the next block. Then the next. And then the next...until school ends, that is.
I'm simply musing in my own thoughts now, I don't even know what I'm talking about. Let's get back to the whole point of this blog: What's your favorite genre and why?
Well, for me, I love paranormal. It's just the simple fact that something on paper can portray what may never happen in real life-unless us humans are just that dim-witted. Each supernatural creatures are made of the authors own mind-so reading about how the author described the werewolf, faeries, or vampyre can tell us many things.
Anyhow, paranormal is also my favorite genre to write in. Creating my own world gives it a more...real feeling. Of course, that's just my own thought. I love my characters, with their powers and their personality. I know I could indefinitely improve them, but that would come with time.
So, ending this blog post, what is your favorite genre?

There, she meets a girl, Annalyse Frey, a human and a bit more, and Will Silver, former Lelenoræn, but banished. Of course, Angela doesn't know a thing about Will-the mysterious boy.

Forbidden For Life (Novel):
Love. Just what is it?
Forbidden fruit-the one that everyone wants. And that's just what Alyss Rennings is. A forbidden girl. Alyss Rennings is the girl that no one notices. She the girl you see on the street, but when you try to recall her face, it comes up blank. She's the one that walks not-too-slow but not-too-fast. The one that blends in, the one that you never talk to. The quiet, average grade girl. So why is she the forbidden fruit? Because without her disguise, Alyss is one of the most recognizable teenage sensation on Earth. And she's hiding more secrets then you think.
Hot, popular, and smart-Alec Jackson. Black hair with auburn eyes, tall and muscular. What's not to like? But Alec himself is hiding secrets, too. A project with Alyss, and his whole life goes haywire. Just who is the girl who hides under the sweatshirt all day? The one who blends in with the crowd? The one who acts like a no one? Alec thought that whatever he wants, he gets. But not this time, and this is the time that he looses everything he ever loved.
Together, these two different teenagers will go on the ride of their life-and find out the true meaning of love.
