O Hallo There!

Wow, so I can't believe, after all this time of having this site, that this is my very first blog post... ever! So, some about me that won't exactly fit on my profile, yush? Well, alright then, but don't say I didn't warn you. You may go through personality changes from following this blog.

First of all, my mother has a blog here ==> http://www.fullhandsfullheart.blogspot.com/ There's lots of interesting stuff on there about herbal remedies, raising children, and Catholicism. Mum is someone I really look up to and respect, so you might see some similarities between our blogs in some places. In others, you might be amazed at how different they seem to be...

and then of course there are some things about me alone that baffle and daze people, like the fact that I can be and am both a devout Christian and someone who loves and respects a man like Brian Hugh Warner (aka: Marilyn Manson). Don't strain yourself too hard, this is just to set things straight, for future references, because I will most likely mention him in several of my blog posts.

What makes Manson (no, we'll call him Brian; I like his real name better) such a great man, I believe, is the fact that he doesnt' take things for granted. He always questions what information is given him so that he isn't played for a fool. Sure, he does question my own faith far too often for comfort, but that's his right, and there's nothing I or anyone else can do about that. God gave me the gift of understanding, and I think he intended for me to use it this way, because when I look at someone like Brian, instead of thinking he's far beyond hope and giving up on him like many Christians today, I stick with my belief that if someone, anyone, were to take the right approach toward him and be genuinely concerned for him and stick with him for long enough, that he could be saved.

Now, that gotten out of the way, I can also say the same for so many other topics. I have hopes that one day maybe I can change the world a little bit for the better by helping at least a few peopole understand things in a new way. Nothing is past hope for me; as long as my God is on my side, I can do anything he calls me to do. I've been working on this novel. I call it "The Save the Zombies! Revolution", and, while on the surface it's about a werewolf girl and her zombie friend trying to survive the apocolypse, underneath it's so much more than that. I use symbolism throughout the entire story (my English teacher, Mrs. Pinkerton, told me that's called an "allegory") using things like zombies and different political groups and the mafia and all that junk to portray the world as it is today: a spiritual wreck. My next poste will probably be about the symbolism in the work, but I don't exactly have time for all that right now.

Sure I have my goals set pretty high (I mean, after all, most writers usually don't get their books published. My dad says I'm gonna have to work super hard to give my story that special thing that no one else has, that way someone will decide to choose it above all the rest.) but I also have normal-high-school-student stuff to do as well.

I have marching band, English tests, essays, journalism 1, art 1, biology (which I hate), algebra 2, friends to hang with at lunch, a lover that plays basketball, a huge collection of random stuffed animals crowding my bed, and all those stupid teenage hormones raging inside me making me have a huge crush on a guy I totally can't have, you know, just the normal, every day stuff. Right now I've been working on an English essay, "My Greatest Regret," have to give a presentation on the biography of Anna Zenger for journalism class, and am assigned to do a monochrome painting for art which I still haven't decided whether to do of Adam Young of Owl City in orange or of a cityscape in blue...

I also really, really need to clean my room...

So anywayz, I'd better get to bed now.

Ciao!

sincerely,

Sunsine W. & Co.
