Haha, now that that's done with, I just have three quick "announcments" to make.
1. Since Word Day and Carpe Noctem Day are scheduled for replacement, I need something to replace them WITH. I have some ideas, but I'd really like to know what you guys want, since you're the ones who read my boring junk anyway ;)
2. Don't forget to vote on Name the Assasin girl poll. Pro to Kieran: very cool sound and cool meaning. Pro to Vega: very cool sound and fits with the meaning of her two brothers, whose names mean Sun and Mood. (Vega means falling STAR).
3. Also don't forget about Followers Say...at Carpe Noctem coming up on September 26! So far there are only three people "signed up" to do it. C'mom, you know you want to ;) Details here.
That's about it! Thanks, y'all! Talk to ya later!

Gosh, now I really need to read those books.
Thanks for the awesome comment Kendra!
I have an idea.
Maximum Ride day!
Or Whatever-character-Kendra's-obsessed-with-right-now Day!
Jillian: *sing-songy voice* Thank you for following! You rock!
And the books are really good, especially the first two.
Cavender: I LOVE THOSE IDEAS! Omg, Obsessive Day! Or Character Day!
Yes. Obsessed day. That'd be wonderful.
I need to read the books now as well, because this amused me.. My friend Rebekah loved them.
It oddly reminds me of things I've done involving Kingdom Hearts.
Muse of Randomness: Awesome! It looks like that one is gonna be a winner...
Yes, the books are very good. The character are very relatable, it's well-written, engaging, and it actually got a hold of my emotions in places, which is hard to do.
Sounds funny, but what are the 'Maximum Ride' books?
kade
Life Savior: Maximum Ride is a series about six kids who are 98% human and 2% bird. It's about them trying to escape evil scientists and ultimately save the world. It's better than I just made it sound, lol :)
