"New Hair!" Say the rejoycing peasants.

That's right. I have new hair. And y'all are peasants. I mean that in the best way possibly, really I do.

Photo numero uno!

Photo numero does!

I know, I know. I'm gorgeous. Like, crazily so. And my hair is epic, I know. :)

Associates of Arts kicks all other degrees asses!

Ta ta for now, darlings!

Ta da!

I know what you're thinking. "Holy crap, it's Maggie!"

And, yes, thank you for the acknowledgement. It is I, Maggie, you're heroine extraordinare.

(I forgot my username again.)

What to say, what to say. Well, I finished my first week of college with flying colours. I even made an aquaitance or two. Very good, if I do say so myself, for an anti-social girl. Classes are interesting, campus is lively, it's very good. And, there's a Tim Horton's right there in the lobby, so there's a never ending stream of flavoured caffine when I need it. Yay.

I drove for the first time today. Like, an hour ago. Very exciting stuff. My instructor's an old British man, and he's lovely. He's all like 'Stay on your side of the road, please." and "brake gently, please." Very nice stuff. And I only brushed the car against an overgrown bush. No one died. No one maimed. I'm very pleased with myself.

Uhm... What else... I'm totally screwed for November. I'll probably lose. Like, most definetly lose. It's rather sad-making to think about, so I just won't. I'll live in happy denial for all of eternity.

Or until November hits and I'm left at the scene of a terrible wreck between creativity and school obligations. It'll be a spectacular explosion.

Nothing else? Fabulous.

Ta ta for now, mon amies.

Who You Gonna Call?

That's right. I'm pathetic.

I might have forgotten about all blogs for a month or so, but that's not why I'm pathetic.

Oh, thank you, Kate! I owe you for life for signing the petition! (Good news, but I'll talk about it when I get everyone else caught up)

So, we're all 90's children, right? I mean, we're all in the same boat.

Anyone remember those old saturday morning cartoons? Beetle Borgs, Power Rangers (the good one), Pepper Ann, etc etc? Well, most specifically, I remember Extreme Ghostbusters, which, as far as I'm concerned, the best cartoon ever made, possibly excluding the Real Ghostbusters, but
I would be hard pressed to actually say that.

Well anyways, in my travels to become the biggest geek on the lovely planet earth, I started to youtube old episodes, and I must say, they are wonderful. I mean, look at this new Ghostbusting cast! Tell me they aren't fabulous! (but please don't)

My favorite's Eduardo. He's the brunet in the front -drools-

Anyways. I was in EGB bliss until every user on youtube deleted their egb episodes off the internet. Gone, dissapeared forever! I was crushed. I might have almost cried.

This is where Kate Lewis comes in! She signed a petition I found to have Extreme Ghostbusters released on DVD (76 signatures) and she drooled over the amazing cast with me as she put up with me ranting about how wonderful they were.

Kate! It's times like this that I wish you really were Australian. Because, as you heard, they're releasing the first 13 episodes onto DVD in Australia and France. Weird, right? But people guess it'll be here soon.

Now, the next logical thought would be, buy it anyway and pay extra money to have the set shipped here from Australia. Well, I'm with you on that, but there are two problems.

One: The DVD's are set so they only play on Australian Standard players

and Two: They're sold out. All of the pre-orders are gone.

I take that as a good omen, but I'm severly bummed.

To pass the time, take a gander at this episode. One of the surviving five on youtube.

Love!~

Till Death Makes Us Start (Part One)
Till Death Makes Us Start (Part Two)

-Poof of Smoke-

Guess whose back! I know, y'all are super excited I've made a come back. Actually, I had forgotten my email-thing to log in, and I was like, damn this all to hell. Turns out, it's not google.ca, it's GMAIL.ca. Fail on my part. I'll admit it. -coughs- I might of had to google that to find out...

I'm none to impressed with this summer vacation so far. And believe me, you shall know why in mere seconds if you continue to read.

Did anyone else go 'Summer, thank god, a rest!'? I did. Oops, I lied to myself.

This has been the most hetic two weeks of my life.

I have a million projects I need to work on. Five stories that need updating and tending, plans for November to create and tend to, work (well, not yet, but I've had to train...), and family matters. It's rediclous! I miss school. But not high school. I'm suprised, but I don't feel sad that I won't be back.

Watch me be a balling mess at mystery box, though.

Nothing's really happened, so I don't know what to say...

I added Selkies to the Mythical Creature Catelogue, Nicole! It was epic.

Sooo... Yeah. -shuffles awkwardly- I think I'm gonna go for now... Also, I've decided to make this place less about my novel-writing endeavors and just leave it so I can keep in touch with y'all throughout the years to come, because we might not be seeing each other for long periods of time!

Except for Nicole and Jakalee in November. I'll tie you two to a post in my basement until November is over. We shall all be winners!

Oh! I'm re-doing my room. Complete fixer-upper. I need paint. Lots and lots of paint. And therefore, paint colours. Jacquie told me Maggie seems like a girl who would have a green room, and I didn't really know how to respond to that, so what colour should I do my room? And when I say colours, I'm talking really bright, bold colours. BRIGHT!

Toodles for now, darlings.

OH, Natalie. I can't make the beach Thursday. I finally remembered what's happening. I have to go with my mom into West Van, and then.. WE SHOP! Looking forward to it.

Ta Ta for now!

-Maggie

WIN!

-hysterical cheering-

I'm sorry, but I'm physched right now. I just found out the results of the Twilighter's Choice Awards, which I previously mentioned that Zeh Redheaded Wondah, Jakalee and I were all nominated for, and we're all winners!

Well, kind of. In my mind, we're all winners :)

Let's start with -drum roll- Zeh Redheaded Wondah!

This darling Twilight-hater won second place in Best Use of an Overly Used Plotline! Yay for her!

Jakalee, my darling, she won second place as well for her School Projects in the Best All Human caregory! Congrats, darling!

Thirdly, myself. I came in third place for Best All Human with In the Dark - Jakalee beat me - and FIRST PLACE for Best Romantic One-Shot with Broken. -big grin-

Also, Jakalee, Saturday School came in second for Best Collaboration. Epic fail on the voters part. Nobody should bear Saturday School, me thinks. -sighs-

Now, lovely people, if you want to show me you love me, you could vote for me for a Bellie Award here: http://www.thecatt.net/tw/Default.aspx

Vote for Jakalee, Z.R.H.W and I so we don't have to vote for ourselves and eachother. Please!?

Live long a prosper!

-Maggie

Beam Me Up, Scotty.

That's right, I saw Star Trek. It taught me many things, of which I shall pass down to you, lovely people, because it's been far too long since I've posted anything. Blame life.

Star Trek taught me that no matter how geeky the subject is, and how looked down upon it has been since the '60's, as long as you pump it full of action and hot men, it's all good. Yes, your movie can completly sell out the theatre and captivate audiences that are not filled with Trekkies.

It was epic. Although not once that I can tell, did Kirk ever say 'Beam me up, Scotty', which was such a shame, because I thought that line was supposed to be iconic. They did say, however, 'Live long and prosper' with the little hand motion. -big grin-

Goodness, this post is rather...lame.

Maybe tonight I'll do more late History homework while watching Underworld: Rise of the Lycans. That's right, Jakalee, I might watch it without you. Although, to be fair, you did see the end of Underworld 2 without me, albeit that wasn't your fault... But the movie is just sitting there, waiting to be watched before it has to be returned. and my mom did get it for me to see...

My mom also lent me her old book on fairies (except I just spelt it wrong) faeries. Yes, faeries. That's how you spell it. It's rather amazing, and I love it, and I'm kind of happy that I'm kind of following in her footsteps a little bit. She used to read fokelore and do tarot cards. Now she's kind of a neat-freak and doesn't read at all.

Yeah, that won't be me hopefully.

I'm kind of out of things to say, and I don't really have anything to post for me novel because I haven't written anything new because I've been so swamped with other things.

But I shall post a rather tricky question for you. One that if you answer correctly, I will thank you in my published acknowledgements when my book is printed, and I might just dedicate the whole thing to you.

I need names, and that's all.

The first name is for a restaurant. It's this world's equivalant to our Earl's, where servers and employees are selected by facial symmetry and their outward beauty. Their unofficial motto? 'Skills can be taught, beauty can't be.' I need the name for the restaurant. Something that fits without being obvious.

The second is the name for the actual place. It'll be in an unspecified part of North America, but I need the name for the town. It's split into two sections, one it the subburb, the other the downtown area. Think Port Coquitlam & downtown Vancouver. Or even better, just Vancouver. But I need an original name. Feel free to steal it from another continent, it'll make it trippier.

Please, please, please help me!

It seems my usual phrase is rather self-sufficent, so I will simply say, good luck.

-giggles at self- You won't understand until you watch Star Trek.

Anddd, this post has come full circle.

Golly Gee.

Look at it rain! Score! There's no way the softball game can go on with the monsoon outside.

Guitar Hero: World Tour had Monsoon by Tokio Hotel. Suprised? Me too.

I'm also madly in love with Kid Cudi's music. Except so far, only two songs. Day and Night, and Dat New New (Viking Remix). Loveee.

No rain, don't peter out! Epic failure.

Jakalee, Zeh Redheaded Wondah and I were nominated for the Twilighters Choice Awards. Broken was nominated for Best Romance One-shot or something, and In the Dark got a nom. for best all human. Jakalee's School Project's is my competition for best all human, and ZeReHeaWo had Hidden Beneath nominated for Best use of a Over-Used Plotline.

Noo! The rain is stopping -headdesk-

Got kicked out of History 12 for being one minute late...Check out my History buddy's space - bronze lace.

And the rain stopped. Goddammit.

And because I need something that revolves around my new project...
(Jakalee, note the new at the end)

V a m p y r e

A type of rabies, vampyrism is passed by blood from infected to victim, and involves the trading of blood. The vampire first drinks from the victim, and then vice versa. The newly infected vampire then has all of their tendons cut and is buried in a traditional six feet grave, left to heal and fight their way to the surface, ensuring that the vampyres that are created will be strong enough.

Vampyres have their mortality taken from them as they change. Their skin is unable to protect itself from UV radiation, and therefore burns in the sun. Their looks are enhanced to lure their pray, and religious objects become lethal, since vampyres are damned. Running water also poses difficulties for them.

If a member of another group come upon a vampyre burial, they try to uncover the body before it rises and decapitate it, or stake it through the heart to prevent it from transforming. If the head is removed and kept away from the re-buried body, the vampyre cannot rise and will not pose a problem in the future.

Vampyres need to ask permission to cross the threshold of any living space before entering, but once granted permission, they need not ask again. They often use their looks to get humans to let them in. Vampyres usually haunt the neighbourhood they once lived in, and tend to feed on those who they used to know in their past life.

They are dead, and cannot reproduce.

When someone is bitten, a bond is created throughout the coven, connecting the newly bitten to the group. New vampyres are not created until the coven has voted on it.

Vampyres are created when a vampyre and a human trades blood, and then is buried. Vampyres do not drink from those they plan to change. Those they drink from will not be changed. They either drink from a human and then kill them, or trade blood without feeding from them. There is no both.

Vampyres tend to prefer being buried in the earth as the sun stays up, but they do not sleep and have taken to living in empty buildings they have converted to keep it dark and safe inside, yet there have been incidents...

May the force be with you.
