Dear Vince,
Nov 21/2011

Life just keeps getting worse and worse. I thought nearly killing my best friend would be the cherry on top of my new horrendous life, but Kyle, Sasha and I are stuck in a run-down motel 2 miles from the farm house. Well, what is left of the place... But how about I start at the beginning and go from there.

Well, it all started when Kyle woke up angry… Except, angry doesn’t even cover it! He was full-on pissed. My room got trashed as he threw about the lamps, the bedside tables and, all the drawers from the dresser at me.

Dear Vince,

I’m sorry, Kyle I am truly sorry! I don’t know what came over me; it was like something inside me took over. I could see myself doing it but I couldn’t stop myself. I was crying I tried to regain control over my body. I swear on my life I never wanted to bring you into this, I don’t even know what to call it anymore. It’s a mess of a life, if you can call it a life. I’m a murderer, a killer, I killed my best friend. This is how it happened.

I had decided to try and get some sentimental things from my locker at school, like my father’s leather jacket and the bracelet that

I feel like everyone has gone to the Ex except me! Well that was all changed Thursday. It was the best day ever!!!! I even got Tiny Tim Donuts, which are so yummy. I also went on almost every ride. I loved the skyline you could see while riding on the giant swings – it actually helped me with my fear of heights. I think the Ex is my new favourite place on earth; so much fun in just one day!!!

That same day I also registered for school, I got my schedule and I got my pictures taken. I love all my courses they seem like so much fun I am excited for the first day of school.

Best Week of the Summer!!!! (Also the most tiring)

So Monday we had the Toronto wolf pack Party, which was so awesome. Watching the finale of Teen Wolf with other fans is so much fun. During the commercials we guessed and discussed who was going to die; what’s going to happen at the end; and most of them teased me by saying Derek was going to bite the dust. Then on the Tuesday, Uys and I went around Toronto dropping off my new comic “Totem Sacred” at Hairy T’s, Beguiling and Comics & More.

This week I want to talk about childhood books, and which one’s make you happy? Which ones do you want to read over and over again? My childhood book is Avalon: Web of Magic by Rachel Roberts. I started reading them in Grade 5 with my four best friends, and the 10th book came out in while I was in Grade 7. After that we kind of forgot about the series... till this summer when my younger sister found the first three books and started reading them. That motivated me to go out and re-buy the rest of the series (they’d been given away by my parents).

What I had not realized is Rachel Roberts had

Cowboys and Aliens Review/Life as a Writer

*N.B.-spoilers within*

My blog this week is longer than usual because we have a lot to talk about. The first thing on the agenda is the movie Cowboys and Aliens. Most of the Uysfaber crew made it out to the advance screening on Wednesday. Special thanks to Paradise Comics for the passes! The movie is a blend of the old western and sci-fi genres. Unlike a lot of movies, C&A wasn’t a slow starter; there was action and humour from start to finish. Some of the scenes were just fantastic. For example, in one scene Ella (played by Olivia Wilde) is cremated by the Apaches.

Harry Potter Movie Review

Life as a Writer - Day 157
By Jaclyn Armstrong

I am doing another media review, but this is very special, because I am writing this while I am sitting in a theatre, getting ready to watch .............HARRY POTTER!!! This is the last of the Harry Potter movies. I cried when the books ended, and I will cry after this movie. I decide to dress up for the premiere; I am wearing my Slytherin t-shirt with a black skirt, green hair extensions, and my army boot. It’s like a hardcore Pansy Parkinson.

As a treat I am taking Taylor and my sister to see the movie with me!
