Success!!!!
Today I finally finished my second novel. At 2am I was super pumped and excited that I finally finished it. I can safely say that it is even better than my first one. So yay! I just need to find someone to edit it for me. Good news is this though...I sent a query letter off to an agent and he actually asked for the rest of my book so he could review it. Good sign right? I mean, I wasn't rejected so that's gotta be a good sign right? Right? RIGHT? I'm really nervous about this whole trying to become an author thing, but I feel good about it at the same time though. I haven't really gotten my hopes up though just in case it doesn't work out. I'm prepared for the rejection, ya know? Either way, my book is the awesomest. Look out J.K. Rowling! Here comes Kendra! Booyah! ...If this first agent doesn't take me as a client, then LOOK OUT AGENCIES! Here comes thousands of copies of my mega cool query letter. Later guys.

Ice creeeeeeeeeeeeam
As I sit here and eat my caramel fudge sundae from Mickey D's, I've come to the realization that it is completely and utterly true...after reading Wicked, you'll never look at The Wizard of Oz the same ever again. EVER. Alice is happily munching some treats in her little studio apartment on top of my dresser that I don't even use. ...Why do I still have it in here? Hm. I can't wait to see Wicked when it comes here to Kentucky. My mom was bitching earlier about how I don't make enough money to pay bills and blah blah blah, but what she actually doesn't know is that I could careless what she thinks of me. Granted it still sucks that she's a cow about it, but still. How does this transition from Wicked and The Wizard you ask? Well, it doesn't. It actually is better suited for me to make a comparison to Jabba the Hut and his little monkey creature that hides in his tail. In short, it's sort of like the movie version of the Wicked Witch of the West and her damnable little monkeys in their bellhop costumes. Alas, I shall say no more about her because it only brings me down to her low low level. ...We don't want that. Work was fun today, Coreen tells me stories of her daughter's antics and I laugh and all is well. It makes me look forward to the day that I have a child who does silly little things-wait I have animals that do that, I guess I want children that can say funny things too. I won't be getting a parrot because I hate birds. Oh yea, I recently rediscovered Ragnarok online. It's a fun online game in which children half my age makes millions of ingame currency and have fifty characters with rare items while I (who has played off and on since 2005 or 2006) still have a character stuck at level 91 and yeah. Online gaming, stealing souls since the dawn of the internet. Alice is being naughty right now, which translates from ferret to: mother I am going to do everything in my mighty power to get your attention and wreak minor havoc and mostly mischief. Good night guys.

Giants
I carefully place my treasure into the small alcove I've recently discovered. Hiding it from the world. Wait. I hear noises coming from the cavern entrances... Cautiously, I peek out from the small cavern that holds my treasures. With stealth and speed, I reach the large white gates that border the cavern. Thunder- no wait, footsteps. Footsteps of a giant. Alas, the giant approaches I bravely leap forth to engage the large creature. With ease, I am scooped up and gently placed onto a soft mossy surface. It's come for me. Agility is what separates me from this lumbering foe. Crashing to its knees it looks at me and giggles. Excited by the upcoming battle with this humorous being, I began a War Dance and chant, "Cluck cluck cluck." Blast, it doesn't deter her. I leap over an arm and dodged her other hand, still doing my warrior dance. Now she's taken a piece of my treasure, trying to distract me. I take it and run towards the edge. As she goes to retrieve it, I make my move and dart to the keys and cell phone beckoning to me on her nightstand. Muwahahahha. Momma can't catch me now.
Yea, that's about how it goes when I play with Alice, the furry ninja zombie master ferret. She dances and makes happy noises while I chase her to get her out of my belongings. I bought her these great Marie and Pluto rattles from work for her to play with and she keeps them in her little play tunnel/house thing. It's funny to watch her because she gets frustrated when I take her little treasures out and she'll drag them all back in later. I also just got her a large play pen so that she can run a little more freely in my room instead of being stuck in her cage and being limited to my bed. I love her so much because she is constantly following me and happily riding on my shoulder. She loves watching Spongebob Squarepants and the Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. Her and Copper are two of the coolest animals I've ever owned. Yup. I've been either busy or sick, so I apologize for the delay in writing in my blog...then again if anyone is reading this I'll be surprised. I got to see Batman: Dark Knight on last Thursday, midnight showing!!!!! It was so mindblowingly full of awesome. Well the parts with Heath Ledger portraying the Joker anyway. His performance was so amazing that it most definitely deserved an Oscar nod. He was disturbing and maniacal...pure brillance. My favorite part was when he had this pencil that he jammed in the table and said that he would make it disappear. Well he sure did, when he slammed this guy's head into the table and then it was gone!! Hehehehe. Yea, the rest of the movie was dreadfully long and at times I was preparing to get up out of my seat because I thought it was over, but sadly it continued. Truly though, Ledger made the movie. If it wasn't for him, I'm not sure that I would have enjoyed it as much as I did. You just have to see it to truly get what I'm getting at. In short, he was a giant among men, and this movie will be a wonderful piece to show people what an amazing actor he was. ...Even in Brokeback Mountain, which I absolutely hated with a passion. It's undeniable that he was a remarkable actor and whether people like it or not, his legacy will be his role of the Joker in a movie that he absolutely stole the scenes out of. Okay, my li'l one is hopping around me and clucking to get my attention. I must now cater to the 1 lb. 10 oz. ferret's demands for treats, lol. Good night guys!

Wall-E was AWESOME!!!!!!
So, my b-day was lame, but I lived and all is well. Oh, and I got to finally send my book off to be copyrighted before I send it to thousands of agents, praying that someone is interested in it and eventually launching a career. Moving along...last night, I went to go see Wall-E, sans a child so I looked a bit silly...being 24 years old seeing a "children's movie." First off, it was not just a family friendly movie, it was an awesome space epic love story with robots. As a Star Wars fan, I was absolutely in love with the fact that Wall-E sounded like R2-D2 and looked like Johnny Five from Short Circuit. EVE is my new favorite Disney heroine...God, was it an amazing movie. It was humorous and everything! It had Fred Willard (I giggle whenever I see him) and Hello Dolly! In fact, everything that Wall-E knows about love and human emotion comes from a battered VHS copy he has. Robot love. Yup.
<~~~Wall-E and EVE, America's newest AWESOME POWER couple. They are so adorable.
Clearly, I don't have much to talk about. Alice has been sort of acting naughty lately, what with climbing her cage and staring at me to let her out. Seriously, she climbs all the way to the top and hangs there...like a little ninja, waiting. I need to get her a bigger cage. Dammit it all, I sometimes hate being off work because I have like nothing else to do and I sort of feel useless. I don't think Alice is feeling well because she'll play for a little bit then flop over and sleep. OMG I hope she's not sick. In fact, I'm gonna leave to play with her and make sure she's okay. Oh before I go, here's a picture of her and me. She likes to climb all over me and ride on top of my head like a pilot in a mech unit, lol. That's an anime reference, you know how like there's a person who pilots the giant robot and-well never mind, here it is:
Look at how silly I look. Alice steals the picture and I have to quickly grab her off the top of my head before she steals my brain. She sometimes reminds me of a cross between a ninja and sometimes a zombie mastermind because she knows she has me wrapped around her furry little claw. ...Okay, later guys!
