Hills

"Ella and Jackson watched on as their friends traded little yellow weeds on the hill and blushed."

That's a little part of something I'm working on right now. It has fantasy, it has romance, it has adventure, it has hills. Something important to do with hills. Not sure what yet, but I will know soon.

One of the main characters, Ella, is flighty and fun loving. Her best friend and co-main character is Jackson, a more cautious kid who has anxiety problems.

Ella has a dog named Bonaparte, after the Italian king with epilepsy that conquered half of Europe and had some height issues. He wasn't too bad looking though. If I ever get a dog (which is highly unlikely, as I'm a cat person and not a huge fan of dogs) I'd like it to be like Bonaparte. Also, I really like German shepherds. Which Bonaparte is.

I finished my friend's present today and my sister, Elizabeth, liked it so much, she got me to make her one for herself and she's going to make one for her friend's birthday in two weeks. I'll do a little post about it tomorrow.

A couple days ago I went downtown with Imaan. Specifically to the police headquarters for her criminal background check for work, but they were closed for the weekend, so we're going back tomorrow. The trip wasn't a total bust though, BaskerFest was on (a street festival for epilepsy research), so we went through it, stopping to watch performers and browse booths full of jewellery and art, and then went on to the St Lawrence Market for some good local food.

Tomorrow should be fun.
