Has it really been more than two monthes since I've been on here? Wow, time flys when you are doing nothing!

This is only mostly true. I have still been trying to find work, signing up for classes for the fall, planning a wedding and writing but goodness! I've seen a lot of good movies (ala Time Travelers Wife, V is for Vendetta and 17 Again), found a lot of good music (including Eyes Set To Kill, The Audition and went to a fabo Incubus concert) and read a lot of good novels (If I Stay by Gayle Foreman, Jessica's Guide on Dating the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey and Stop Me If You've Heard This One by David Yoo). I've also hired a DJ, a florist, a baker and done save-the-dates for the wedding.

Also, I've done a lot of writing though I never did finish that first draft of Styx and Stones. Instead, I started over as the plot was just not working. I must say, I'm quite in love with this new version. And by new, I mean like a week new. Here's the beginning:

"The same day I got my acceptance letter to FSU, I found out my best friend's little sister had gone missing almost 32 hours ago. It didn't help that I'd been nursing a crush on her since she kissed me on the cheek while we were suppose to playing hide-and-go-seek in the woods behind her house.
And now she was gone.
When I'd open the thick yellow packet addressed to Mr. Aiden Wright yesterday, the first person I called wasn't my mom or my older brother. It was Cam. The letter was still in my hand when he picked up the phone, when he gave me a half-hearted congratulations after the hours he'd spent begging me to apply, when he told me Blake hadn't come home last night, when he said he had to go to keep the house line clear for the police. As for the shiny new letter, it stayed on the floor where it had fallen from my stiff hands and hadn't been picked up since."

I found my TA's novel on the shelves of my local bookstore and picked it up. I shall be reading Alicia Thompson's Psych Major Syndrome next and I can't wait! Went on her website to give her a grats! and she invited me to join a critique group with her once it starts up. That is just beyond super cool.

Other than that I'm just getting ready to go back to school next monday, get my degree at the end of fall semester and start applying to teach some kid monsters high school english. Because if you are Amber Johnston, then that is how you do.
