This was truly a remarkable written story. It had suspense, action, humor, and more humor that makes a story worth reading.
There was really only two downsides, first being that evolution was mentioned a few times (as in “and that was 3 million years ago!”). But not enough to make me dislike the whole book in generally.
The second, and the one that was used the most, was swearing.
Yep.
Now before you throw this book to the dogs, hear me out. All of it was done so by Princess Purnah. But as seeing that the princess was from a far away isolated mountain kingdom, and those cousins and uncles and aunts and every other relative in between is always trying to get the throne(as in killing, lovely =P).
But I honestly don’t think Princess Purnah’s language is a problem. For you see she hardly knows much English and thus here it was only words like, “Oh you Porok!” Or “You’s miztakes me, Glekk!”
SO I don’t think there is any harm, do you?
But simple a lovely read, parts of it though remind me of the Secret Garden.
So I must encourage everyone to read it. =)
Now I (Lib) was tagged by Keilah.
This is a new sort of tag.
Here are the rules.
Go to your 6th folder and to your 6th picture.
Post that picture and then tag away.
So this is mine, seeing as I only have 1 folder and less then 20 of my own pictures(Kei said I couldn't use any of hers)
But yeah...thats it, just one of those days that it just feels good to be...well weird ;)
So now I shall tag with this photo tag...

Hey, cool sword!
Yeah, it is cool. It's my grandpa's. But I'm hoping on getting one in a few weeks when we go the the Highland Games. I know someone who did get one there and now I want one bad!
=)
That's you in the picture?? I like your hair. =)
Right out of the shower, and no brush was included.
*grin* I don't do much with my hair.
Hello, Jare and Lib! Would you mind checking out my latest post and voting for me in the contest that I entered?
Thanks so much!!!
Also thanks for tagging me! This should be a fun one!
Love and Blessings,
CASSIE
Tag ME! Tag ME!
Nice Pic Kinda Sorta
that's an awesome pic... I don't really do much to my hair usually either... it drives my mom insane.... :P
-haley
To Cassie, I did it and I hope you win =D
To Zak, Thanks-I think =)
To Tinydancer, Mine too! As well as my older sister.
Gosh, I just looked at it again (the picture). That is such a dorky face!
Well, I have been called a dork before, so I guess I could look like one too.
Mmmmm...
But it was a random pick.
I didn't and still don't have a 6th folder, so I just went to the one I do have and counted 12 pictures.
To Everybody, sorry we have not posted much lately, that will change and soon there will be a big post about something.
Can anyone guess what that'll be?
Comment your guess and we'll see who gets it right.
Later all,
-Libby
i guess that it'll be some big event that's happened in your life recently... :)
Nope to Tinydancer, but a good guess.
Its really simple, if you don't think really hard or outside the box that is.
Keep on guessing everyone(a.k.a Tinydancer=)
That is so weird!
er... not the subject, the background.
It looks almost exactly like our garden used to.
But I do like the sword. :D
A while ago you said you were learning knife tricks, and I was wondering what kind of tricks you were learning. I'm currently learning how to juggle knives, BWAHAHAHA!!!
P.S. I'm Calico Zak's brother.
Hi Cap’n, thanks for stopping by =)
Tell me more about your garden, how did it look like this background? You have me wondering ;)
And a correction, I am TRYING to learn knife tricks, not too good yet. =(
But mostly like throwing the knife and catching it. Stuff like that. I’m not to good yet, but that might be because I don’t own any well-balanced knives. I just get them cheap at Wal-Mart (and my hand hurts some too…I wonder why? =P JK).
Are you really learning to juggle knives?? (Teach me!!)
I’ve been to your photo site before you do really awesome pictures. I haven’t commented yet because I have trouble doing so, but I haven’t tried in a while. I’ll go there after this
I saw some guys on Friday juggling knives together it was so cool. I’m going to try and find a video soon and post about them.
What’s your favorite brand of blade??
Later,

Hey Lib,
our garden had the raised beds surrounded by cinder blocks with green plastic fencing that sags. :D
To juggle knives you just have learn to juggle, (which is easier than it sounds, it took me only half an hour to learn the basics!) then learn to juggle clubs, then knives! But I have been juggling for four years. hmm... maybe not so easy.
As for the knives, for juggling I just use throwing knives, they're balanced perfectly for tricks, and juggling and such. But as far as my favorite brand of blade, I prefer the Ka-Bar. It's on the expensive side, but It is well worth it! I also like Remington, Winchester, and Gerber. I also have some generic brand knives which I like.
I'll see if I can get a video of myself juggling knives! :D
Also, have you been to my other blog? (http://le-capitaine.blogspot.com/) I'll probably be posting more on that one than my photo blog. I only put Professional stuff on that one. (alright you can quit laughing now, but you know what I mean.)
P.S. I haven't actually hurt myself juggling knives yet!
Hasta!
Hey Cap’n,
That sounds a lot like our garden. It is a cinder block raised garden, and also sagging fence. Or lack of fence now. Mmm.
Thanks for the tip about juggling knives. I haven’t tried juggling in a while. I’ve been saving for knives the past few months now, and the first thing on my list is throwing knives.
One of my favorite brands is Cold Steel Knives (here’s the link www.coldsteel.com) I actually haven’t gotten any thing from them yet. But my uncle has and he recommends them to me (I love having 6 uncles, who all will talk knives and guns with me). They are a little pricey, but not like some I’ve seen.
And Yes! You must get a video of that. That would be so cool.
I follow your none-photo blog now. And yes, I’m done laughing now =P =)
Well that’s good news about you not hurting yourself. When I did get hurt while trying out with the knives I really only pierced myself. Only a little bit a blood.
I’ve don’t think I’ve ever heard of a Ka-Bar, It does sound a little familiar though. I do have a small folding Winchester and Remington. My first knife was a Gerber, and I loved it so much-before I lost it that is. =P Other then that I just have a cheep Wal-Mart one-who’s clip fell off.
I met a guy over the 4th who actually makes knives. He gave me tips about buying them and what to look for. His wife told me that he learned from the best. He even said something about taking me to a knife show in this next month that sounds really cool.
I think it would be cool to make them, however I wanted them.

I am also going to post his on you blog.
(wow this is long!)
Lib,
For practice/juggling you might consider something more like this,
http://tinyurl.com/l3lj7u
these are what I use for juggling, they are fairly lightweight, and rather dull, but they juggle and balance nicely, and also the dullness keeps you from cutting yourself as easily. also not too pricey!
After you get good at throwing knives would be the time to get the "expensive" ones. (actually not a bad price)
And also that is also rather weird as I have two Cold Steel catalogs in my room as I type.
I am rather partial to the scottish and naval dirks.
OUCH!!! I just saw the price, never mind! sheesh!
Hasta mañana!
