Past Updates

1-2-01
Wow. The new year is upon us once more. How weird can it get? It seems that only yesterday Hanson was a band of three blond boys at the ages of 16, 14 and 11; and yet, at the same time, that was a world away. Now, they are 20, almost 18 and 15. Dear lord. Isn't it funny how people measure time? And how time runs away from us? Okay, enough introspection from me. I have... SOULFIRE UPDATES. *bows* Are you proud of me? Please be proud of me. Anyway, I promised updates, and here they are. I even went through some of my old stuff on here and edited. When reading I have realized how much I, myself, have changed over the years. I have been writing SoulFire just about two years now, and I can tell how I have changed more in my writing of that, than I can in most anything else. Frankly, I am not so happy with the writing as I used to be, but that is to be expected. You aren't a writer if you are not alwasy changing and editing your works. Ahh well. Changing what i have would be a task of many many hours, days, weeks, and months; and would take time that, frankly, I do not have to spare. It's all good though. Hopefully I can continue with what I have. So, I have two more chapters. Go read. Happy New Years and Happy Holidays to you all. So what if I am a little late? It is the thought that counts. Right?

Okay, do not kill me. Please. I beg of you. I have... No SoulFire updates.*cringes* Sorry. I do, however, have 9 more poems up as well as 4 more short stories. YAY. I am dumb. I am inspired by Hanson, so I hope to have more fun stuff for you soon. So, just go read what I have up, Please?

By the way, apparently the company whose server this domain runs on was hit by lightning and is running on backup. None of the .cgi's work and I am sure there is a lot more stuff that doesn't. I do know that a lot of chnages I had made before are now gone, so I am trying to get those back up and changed. Let me tell you, it is very aggrevating. I don't rmemeebr half of what I did and I don't know half of what is gone. Doh. I will trya dn hurry though. Thanks for your patience.

Whoo hoo! Look! Another update! And even within 3 days of my last one! Wow, I'm good. This one is not as exciting as the other, but still, good news.

Well, remember how I blathered on in the last update? well, i finally got that "ramblings" page up. Now, you can go and read whatever I am feeling or thinking or feel like writing. Basically, a bunch of crap really, but still, what I feel to be necessary ofr my sanity *grins*. Well, not really but it sure helps. I understand if you don't want to read it, but whatever I post, you are welcome to.

No, no more SoulFire yet, I'm too tired to work on it right now. Sorry. I'm also too tired to talk much, I just spent a whole lot of time on this "ramblings" page and I am all rambled out. So, since it is a very late night as I am writing this (the night of june 30, actually, but since it is 2:50, it is technically now July), I am now going to go to bed.

Maybe I will dream of Hanson again, I have for the last 3 nights *grins*. It really is nice to wake up having dreamt of them. I know I'm pathetic you don't have to tell me *grins*. 'Night.

Okay, I could rattle off a million excuses for not having updated, and all of them would be true, but that doesnt mean that I can be excused from not updating. I just, didn't. We'll leave it at that, with a very emphatic "I'M SO SORRY" tacked on. That okay?

Well, be excited people, Hanson came out with their CD (as we all know) on May 9th and it is officially my favorite. Well, no, that would be incorrect. I love all the Hanson albums and songs I have ever heard so... yeah. *grins*

So, in honor of my one week anniversary of MEETING HANSON *gasp*, I finally have updates for you. I was inspired by finally meeting the objects of my affection. They were the most down to earth, wonderful, and talented people I have ever met. Not to mention the fact that in person they are bigger, more fun, more courteous, and better looking (never would have thought it possible eh? well it is). But that is all beside the point. They were normal human teenagers, and they obviously loved their music, that was so obvious, and that is what is important to me.

And now the news you have all been waiting for, *drum roll please*

SOULFIRE UPDATES!!! Yep, I stayed up until 4am working on the bridge and 4 new/revised chapters. If you read chapters one and two of Book Two, please re- read them. I rewrote them to the point that if you do not read them, you will be missing a great deal. Trust me on this.

You know, I could say that after having met Hanson, I have a better grasp on their personalities, and though that might be true to a certain extent, in essence I would be lying. You can not know a person after 5 minutes together, no matter how much you know about them or how many times you have seen them on TV or listened to their music. It's simply impossible.

*smiles* If you havent noticed, Hanson left a big impression on me. Actually, that would be an understatment.

I have written SoulFire for over a year now, it has been developing in my brain for that long. That is sort of a scary thoguht. The funny thing is, though, that when looking back on the story, I surprise myself, both by my maturity and my immaturity. I have grown a lot since I started SoulFire, but also sometimes I look back and wonder "Did I REALLY write that?" It's just kind of funny.

Okay, I think I'm going to have to start a rambling page. Doh. Enjoy the story.

Okay peeps. I finally got my Hanson site done for the contest. It is really really bad since I have had NO time to do anything with it considering school and everything else going on in my life, but that is not stuff I need to breif you on. So, go check it out. It's fun.

No, no updates on SoulFire or anything else interesting. I have been scrambling and I am really sorry. I keep rounding myself out for not working on it, but it means too much to me to just go ahead and write up some chapters off the top of my head that don't really follow. I will work on SF when I am inspired and when I can do my best work. I promise you I am NOT abandoning it.

Can you beleive it? It has been over a year since I began writing SoulFire. My my. That is surely a scary thought.

2-11-00
Well, no real updates. I'm just sort of fiddling around with things I think need changing. You know, bring things up to speed. I haven't done a whole lot on the page for a very long time.

I love Hanson so much. I don't even have a crush one of them and it seems like i love them as much or more than ever. *sigh* I cannot wait until TTA comes out. For those non-Hanson fans, that would be their new album, "This Time Around". Coming out into the world on May 9. Counting down my the days.

In exactly a week from today I am going to go visit my friend Bry in St. Louie. I am so excited. This is my first time visiting her and we are going to have so much fun. I cannot wait.

Mononucleosis. All I have to say on that is that I never want to hear that word concerning me ever again after this is over. It sucks so much.

I am in a really wierd mood. Well, bye for now.

Well look at this. My first post in the new year. What a novelty (feel my sarcasm).

I feel really bad, I finally got two new chapters of Soulfire up (YAYAYAYAYAY) and I freakin forgot to say so here. They have been up for a while, so if you have not read them yet, go do so now. Please enjoy. I apologize also for not getting them up sooner and all that Jazz. oh well.

I have Mono. Isn't that wonderful? I found out yesterday. I had been suspecting it for a while now but I just didn't get myself tested. Sometimes I'm so stupid. I had mono in the summer of '98, it really was the worst summer of my life. It was also a pivital point in my life tho. That was the summer I really solidifyed my friendship with Bry, and discovered Hanson. But here I have Mono again, and once more, it is a fighting battle against depression. Last time I lost. This time I'm going to fight it to my last. How much good that will do I don't know. Oh well, here goes.

hey guys. LONG time no see. Before I say anything else I would like to send a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! to my friend Bryonie. It is her birthday today! She is 14! Also an extremly belated happy birthday is deserved to go out to Isaac (does that make any sense?) as well. he is now 19. Whoa, can you beleive it guys? he was only . . . 16 when he was introduced to the world. *sob* However, we are throwing Bry a huge party on friday! It's going to be great!

Um, I'm going to have Bry read my new chapter of SF before it goes up. I actually have one whole chapter! Oh My God! I think I'm going to die! It's amazing! Honestly though, I am really sorry it's taking so long. I am still recovering fromthe Nutcracker here, which went very well for your information. Even though I fell once . . . but we don't need to talk about that. So, Bry will read her and Zac's honoray birthday chapter. I started it on Zac's birthday and I'm going to post it for Bry's. How ironic.

Oh! Guess what? I talked to a good friend of mine today who I haven't talked to in FOREVER! I am so happy! I have really missed Louie since he left my school and then my city. So, I finally got to talk to him and stuff. Hopefully I will get to see him soon. I really miss him.

Hi guys. Well I just have a few things to say.

1) No updates as of now.
2) I AM working.
3) HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZAC!!!!!!! I know it's late but... my GOD! The boy turned 14 yesterday! Little Zaccy...14. I think I'm going to cry.
4) I am working on another SF chapter in honor of Zac's b-day. I know it's not being put UP in time, but that is b/c I didn't start on it until yesterday, the day of his birthday,the 22.

And now the day you have all been waiting for..... I HAVE UPDATED SOULFIRE!!!!!!! Thank you, thank you very much. No applause please. So here it is finally. After all the waiting, the long hours of thinking, wondering. After all my many sleepless nights pondering my choices in the story. Trust me when I say that I thought about this every day. I did. I was beating myself, and it finally, FINALLY has paid off. I know it is only one chapter, but as soon as possible I shall work my ass of on this thing. I have new inspiration, thanks to the visit of my friend Bry this weekend. She came up from St. Louie to visit. She is the real inspiration for this story.

Thanks Bry.

Yipes. Hi guys. Sorry it's been so long since the last update. Well I suppose this isn't technically an update since I really haven't anything to add. I am working. I swear. I just have a few more responcibilities now. You see, I'm in the Nutcracker. I am a Green Flower, a Grey Mouse en Pointe and a Russian understudy. yeah I know, just an understudy for Russian, but i am happy with the others. At least they are pointe parts. I mean, auditions was only my third time on pointe in a full YEAR! To say the least I was amazed with that.

Anyway, I'm working on stuff. I really am. I promise SOMETHING by say, the end of the week.

Well, my brother has moved into his dorm and is settled. He starts classes tomorrow. God. It's a really scary thought. My brother. Nathaniel. In college. Agh. He hasn't even met his room-mate yet. Though he has a lot of cool stuff like a TV and a fridge and a computer and a RUG. He just hasn't met the guy to go with that really comfy brown chair sitting there on the rug facing the TV. I like that chair. I think I'll visit Nathaniel is only to sit in the CHAIR. I LIKE THE CHAIR. *grins*

I swear to you I am working, just very slowly, on SoulFire. I just have two ideas and I need to choose between the two before I can write more. I still can't figure out which one works better. I just dunno. I need to get my thoughts straigtened out and with school coming up it's just not happening. I'll try though. Just be patient with me.

I have a short story I hope to post soon. I still have to edit and HTML it.

School. ugh. It's coming. I'm just not ready for it.

8-7-99
Well, I finally got two new chapters of SoulFire up. Chapters 23 and 24. I've actually had them written for a while now but I needed to edit and HTML them and I took my sweet time on that. Actually I have my good friend Bry to thank for getting me to write those chapters. I thought I had a bad case of writers block but Bry sat me down in front of the computer and said "WRITE!" Somehow it actually worked. I and she are both very proud of these chapters. So I dedicate these two chapters to Bryonie and MR. PILLOWZACCY. (just smile and nod, smile and nod)

Hi all.

Well, I finally got my Hanson Fiction up. For those of you who are not Hanson fans, just ignore the section entitled "Hanson Fiction" and you got a normal page. I shall keep my Hansonisms mostly confined to that area. *grins*

For those Hansonites, I am working on my story, SoulFire. I promise.

I might sometime soon be coming up with a Journal type page to just express some crap on my mind and shove it out into that black hole called the Net. It's nice to express feelings and actually have people see them, from the safety of the computer.

Slowly I am learning to upkeep and write my own webpage! Yay! I'm still getting tons and TONS of help from my brother (like basically this page is practically done by him), but by the time he goes to college (this fall) I hope to be able to do this myself *crosses fingers*.

I got a new guestbook!! Please sign it with your responses!

Bye for now!
