Here is the story of a little girl
living in a lonely world.
Nobody knows her name,
but she goes along all the same.
Now picture a little boy
with sandy cheeks and hair
who spots the little girl
forever does he stare.
One day these two meet
upon the sand, by the sea
the little boy is so charming,
he knocks her off her feet.
The little boy and girl love each other
as this tender relationship does grow
until one day the little boy tells her
that he has to go.
The little girl stands speechless
her eyes brimmed with tears,
now who was she to talk to
about her secrets and her fears?
She kissed him goodbye on the cheek
the soft one she does love
then watches him leave her
flying like a dove.
The next day he comes back.
He did not mean goodbye.
To find her lying upon the sand
trying not to cry.
He lifts her up gently,
then whispers “I love you”.
He hands her a rose
and she whispers back “I love you, too”.
Now the little boy and girl
have grown up together
then one day he pops the question
and stays with her forever.
Ahoy me mateys! We are about to cast off on a two week expedition across the Caribbean in search of pirates! Under the expert navigation of Cpt Merrick of the ship, The Redemption, we will be checking our pirate maps and using our spyglass to locate and capture those ruthless robbers of the high seas ... and their stolen treasure chest! Pirates!
Yes, really! :) Avast, me hearties! Fanned, I'm sure, by the charming and resilient Capt Jack Sparrow and company, I have fond more than enough adorable books to read and clever crafts to make to fill 2 weeks of Pirates Adventures!
Should be a wild adventure, hmmm?

NOTE: The Redemption , by Marylu Tyndall, is an exciting and refreshing historical romance on the highseas. I highly recommend it for fun and entertainment!
good luck!!
And continuing on from entry 32 - here is the scene from Stand By Me that inspired the section below from chapter 42 of Fire Of Glory.
I only realised today that I'm the one playing the FoG role of Lard Ass.
Tee hee... Oh well. :)
"Okay, you all know the rules. This is a NU-NH contest, no hands or forks allowed - 'kay?"
He took out a whistle. "Oh my mark..."
"Three... Two... One..." He blew it hard, and everyone set off.
SPLAT! LuigiGirl buried her face into the pie below her.
Everyone else did likewise, forgetting all possible table-manners, munching like pigs that’d just finished dieting.
Dixie was the first to finish hers first. "Done!" She called, and a Koopa threw another pie down onto the table in front of her.
"Done!" Andrew called, only seconds after Dixie.
"Done!" LuigiGirl called afterwards, as another pie was set in front of her.
A few moments later, everyone was onto their third pies, their faces covered with thick berry-filling.
"Good, huh?" Dixie asked, in-between mouthfuls.
"Nothin' better!" LuigiGirl exclaimed.
"Done!" Dixie announced, onto her fourth.
Andrew glared at her, plunging his face right into the centre of his pie, almost swallowing the whole contents of the dish in one go. "Done!"
"Done!" LuigiGirl called afterwards.
The contest ran steady for the next several minutes, Dixie leading with nine pies, Andrew on seven, LuigiGirl on six, Mack, Donovan, Edward and Zed on five.
"Take it easy Dixie!" Koopinator warned.
"Done!" LuigiGirl called. "He's right, take it easy, eh?" She said, before yet another pie was set in front of her.
Dixie ignored them both. "Done!" She yelled, before shoving her face into her tenth pie.
A few moments later, she began choking, coughing and spluttering loudly.
She grabbed her glass, and chugged the whole pint of 'water' down in one go.
LuigiGirl raised her head, glancing awkwardly at her partner. "Done!" She called. "Geez, we told ya to-"
Dixie stopped, bringing her head up.
"Oh..." She groaned, clutching her stomach. "Suddenly I... I don't feel so good..."
"Are you okay?" LuigiGirl asked, beginning to slightly panic.
Dixie slowly stood up from her chair, her stomach growling rabidly, like a wild dog.
Andrew pulled his head free from his ninth pie.
"Hey-hey, what's up? Has poor little Dixie got a tummy ache? Pah, you'll never make it as far as me!" He mocked.
"Keep eatin' those pies, Bandwidth! It was great to have you quiet for more than three seconds!" LuigiGirl growled.
"Pah." Andrew said again, sneering at Dixie. "She's a wuss, never will beat the almighty Bandwidth at eating contests!"
"Andrew..." Dixie coughed. "You better shut up... Or I'll-"
Dixie gasped, her eyes rolling backwards in fear.
She opened her mouth to finish her sentence - but a cascading waterfall of purple vomit erupted from her throat, tumbling from her mouth, and drenching Andrew in a purple sticky mess.
Dixie didn't stop, she continued breathing fire for around two minutes - by this time, Andrew had almost drowned in the purple sea, and the floor had somehow flooded too.
Dixie coughed hard, before closing her eyes, and tumbling backwards, landing with a hard thump on the floor.
As I mentioned in post 30 - I downloaded the film Stand By Me today, over Limewire.
Emily and I are working on a novel together, entitled "Fire Of Glory."
It's actually a slight work of fan fiction, and thus, the reason why we posted it on FFN.
You can find it right here.
Two scenes from this film inspired two scenes in Fire Of Glory. The events themselves are indeed familiar - but because it's only fan fiction, we have no need for charges being filed. :)
An event in chapter 91 is inspired by a song by The Click Five, Just The Girl.
An event in chapter 25 is inspired by an episode of Dexter's Labratory.
The whole of chapter 45, I got the idea from watching a clip from Balls Of Steel.
The video above inspired this scene from chapter 38:
Dixie stopped, a look of fear spread over her face.
"Err... LG... What's that?!" She gasped, pointing at her partner's neck.
"What's what?"
"Oh... Crap!" Dixie gasped. "Don't tell me..."
"What?"
Dixie tugged her right arm out of the murky water. Several black, slimy creatures were affixed to her skin.
Dixie screamed, wading furiously towards the bank.
"Leeches!" She yelped, attempting to pull them off.
LuigiGirl's jaw dropped. "First Piranhas, now these little buggers!?" She yelled. "We've gotta get some help!"
"No!" Dixie hissed, holding out her arm for LuigiGirl to grab onto.
"Quick, get out!" She whispered, attempting to tug the blood-sucking creatures from her arms.
LuigiGirl took her hand, being pulled violently out of the water. "Get 'em off!" She cried, in fear.
"Don't panic!" Dixie said, although she was indeed panicking herself. "They'll release their grip if you just relax your arm."
"Relax!?" LuigiGirl asked. "How can I RELAX!?"
"LG...!" Dixie hissed. "Stop yelling!"
"Sorry." LuigiGirl sighed, watching the black parasites squirm along her arm. "It feels disgusting."
"I know..." Dixie winced, tugging the final one from her wrist. Both girls were now covered with red bite marks, most of them bleeding.
