Internetalopians

I - having a wild, and extremely random, imagination - just came up with an imaginary creatuer called Internetalopian.

Internetalopians are little... ah, computer bugs if you will. They travel through the inernet and get on people's computers, eating up the things on your computer that you don't save - things like, for instance, a word document you begin to type, but decide you don't like, so you go to FILE and click NEW and don't save it.

The Internetalopians are harmless computer-bugs that don't speak except in little titters and ticks. Almost like they have their very own version of the Morse Code.

Sometimes, if you're quick and very lucky, you might just spot one chomping on a file or setting up camp on your hard-drive.

This one is Internetalopian Fiona, and she likes to dance.

See...? Well, go on, press play, already!

Reading and Writing

I love to write. And apparently I'm really good at it, according to my friends and family.Things pop into my head and I write them down and turn them into a story. But this talent dosen't always come in handy. I once was at my friend's house (she lives two houses down from me) when suddenly I said, "I have to go home!" I was about to jump out of my seat and sprint home as fast as my legs would carry me. I had to write something down for the book I'm writing, Made of Silver. My friend asked what was wrong and I told her I had to write something for my book. She knows how I am about my book (It's almost like a child to me!), so she wasn't that suprised. Handing me the nearest notebook and pen, she told me, "Use this." Within 3 minutes I had 2 and a half pages written. I wasn't about to let myself forget what I'd thought of.I really get in tune with the characters in the books I'm reading. In 3rd grade I was reading one of the Harry Potters when I thought, "I have to tell Mom how mean Draco Mafoy is being to me!" I know. I'm a nut. But if you think THAT'S bad, get a load of this:I was talking to my little brother about the book I'm writing. He got thirsty, but I guess he didn't want to get a cup because he walked into the bathroom to drink from the sink. I followed, still jabbering away. Then I looked in the mirror and panicked. I hadn't expected to see my reflection - I had expected to see the main character in my book, Ginny!

My Book Summary

I wrote the summary for the book I'm writing a while ago, and Mom suggested I post it here. So... here it is!

Made of Silver

Everything is what it seems - or is it? Summer camp will be summer camp, friends will be friends, and woods will be... a passageway to some other realm? Wait, this just got a whole lot more complicated.
When Ginny shows up at summer camp, surprised that she and her two best friends, Tim and Joseph, won't interact all summer, she devises a plan... a plan that plunges her into a world of danger, imprisonment, and someone who will change her life. Will she ever be the same?
