Sunscreen and Pony-Ridin'
It's been awhile since I've posted a normal post, so here's one for you:
I went to the lake a couple days ago, and I had just gotten over a really bad sunburn (I was to the point where it was peeling). So, I knew I needed to wear sunscreen, and make sure I get everywhere that I could get burnt. Well, you see, I'm used to just putting it on the top-sides of my arms, etc. because that's where I get burnt when I mow my lawn. I sorta forgot that, water reflects sun very nicely, burning you in places you didn't think you could get burnt. Like the backs of your arms, and legs. Oh yeah, waterproof sunscreen is a lie. Mine says it's SPF 50, waterproof, and non-greasy. Yeah, it's all a lie. I put it on, the greasy, nasty stuff, went in the water, and I still got burnt. Oh, and apparently, I didn't quite get it all over my face, because right near my hairline, is about half an inch of sun-burnt skin. Looks fantastic. Thank goodness I have bangs to hide it.
Also, this weekend, we're having a bunch of family come down to go on a trail ride. In steep hills. Yay. Now, I'm a pretty good rider, but I hate hills. Absolutely loathe hills. Hills and I have had bad experiences with one another. Plus, it's going to be really, really hot, and there's no way my dad is going to let me back out of it, mostly because my cousin Kolby is coming, and I never get to see her. But I guess, that's about the only highlight of the whole trip, 'cause Kolby's awesome.
I can tell you one thing that's probably going to happen, for sure: Sun. Burn. Yeah, there's no avoiding it. I just hope it's cloudy, so it won't be so hot out, even though you can still get sunburned. Trust me, I know from experience that you get a worse burn when it's cloudy. It sucks.
Well, I have to go figure out how to connect the lawn sweeper to the mower, and sweep up some dead grass. Yay me. Stay cool, everybody. Today is going to be a hot one.

Please Don't Kill Me For This. . .
Hey, guys. So, I know I posted beginning of Chapter 3, already, but, to be honest. . . I didn't like a darn thing I wrote. So, even though it might make some of you mad, I am re-posting Chapter 3. The reason I'm not waiting until I get to the 2nd Draft to do it, is because the next part I post, will not make any sense when paired with the first posting of Chapter 3, if that makes sense. So, sorry to do this to all of you who actually liked the first edition of Chapter 3, but it's gotta go. And hopefully, you will come to like edition No. 2 when I get it posted.
That is all.

HEY! BEGINNING OF EREBUS: CHAPTER 2 IS UP!
I told you I would get something up quickly. Here's the beginning of Erebus: Chapter 2, most recently known as Just Like Clockwork, but if you didn't see the previous post, it has officially been changed to Erebus.
Reasons for the change are also in previous post.
Toodle-loo,
Max

OFFICIAL TITLE DECIDED!
Alright, so you know how I was debating on changing the title for Just Like Clockwork? Well, I picked one out:
Erebus.
Reason?
The word erebus is defined as:
1. the darkness under the earth, imagined either as the abode of sin-ners after death or of all the dead
Also defined as:
1. the god of darkness, son of Chaos and brother of Night
2. the darkness below the earth, thought to be the abode of the dead or the region they pass through on their way to Hades
Now, here's a little bit of background on the word Erebus:
Erebus.

2. the darkness below the earth, thought to be the abode of the dead or the region they pass through on their way to Hades
Now, here's a little bit of background on the word Erebus:
Erebus, in Greek religion and mythology, was the personification of darkness.
In Greek mythology, Erebus or Erebos("deep blackness/darkness or shadow") was the son of a primordial god, Chaos, and represented the personification of darkness and shadow, which filled in all the corners and crannies of the world. He wasthe offspring of Chaos alone.
So, there you go. That probably was a little too much information. There are hints in there about what's to come, but that's all I'm saying. Oh, but chapter two is on it's way!

P.S. Erebus is only book one of the series. More information on that coming soon!

Minnesota, Eh? Oh Yeah, You Betcha!
Hey, kiddos. So, tomorrow, I'm heading out for Minnesota with my sister and brother-in-law. Going to be going to the Mall of America, which I am totally stoked about!
So, I have a nice little story to tell you guys. I had my Senior pictures yesterday, but they did not go as planned. I'll give you a walk-through of what happened:
See, I woke up around 7:30, all prepared to get things ready for my appointment at 10. I had to set up things in the barn, and I had to give my horse a bath. Then, my mom tells me the people who were going to be doing my pictures were pushing my session back. In other words, they weren't going to happen until another day. Now, this was a big problem, since my brother is moving away in less than a month, and has a lot of stuff to do, and my sister couldn't take off any more work. That mattered because I wanted some sibling pictures. So, when we found out the shoot wasn't happening, all hell broke loose. Almost literally. I ended up a sobbing mess, but then, I thought of a friend of mine, who does photography. So I texted her, and asked her if she was willing to take the sibling pictures for me. Of course, bless her heart, she agreed, telling me she needed the practice anyway.
So, she came, and we got the sibling pictures out of the way, then decided, "You know what, why not do them all? We have time, and today is as good as any day." So, she shot the rest of my Senior pictures. She ended up taking over one thousand pictures (which is probably not going to be fun going through and picking out which ones I want). But I have to say, I love her for coming on such short notice and being so fun to work with.
And kudos, Mer, to putting up with my brother and his ten-year-old gum chewing fest haha. Thank you so much for saving the day! You're my hero!! Love you, Meriam =].
Okay, now I have to recommend everybody talk to Mer if they want pictures done, because she is amazing. Also, the people who were originally going to do my pictures, Pathogen Ink, are very talented as well, and I recommend them, too.
Anyway, I gotta go help my dad do something outside, so I will be back later, hopefully with another Just Like Clockwork piece.
