I've gone through so many edits of this post-- and I finally figured out what I want to say. Thank you! You who read my posts, you who commented. Thanks, y'all. That's all I've really got to say to you-- even if it's not as eloquent as I would like it to be. Don't get me wrong, at times we've been like:
But then other times, I feel like this:
But now, I'm feeling very happy, and a bit like this:
As ridiculously convoluted and strange as that was, you can chalk it all up to my love for y'all. It's all for you!
I'd like to thank a few bloggers--
Cheyenne from {This Girl Reads} for being my first blogger friend. Loves to ya, Chey! (:
Inky from Book Haven Extraordinaire for just being a generally awesome and funny gal. We've had uncomfortable discussions, we've had weird discussions...neither of us can ever seem to stop talking. Loves to you too, Inks! Do we make you laugh? (Inks is in blue, Megs is in Red.)
*RUNS TO FIND PRINCE CHARMING TO SAVE HER FRIEND*
*FINDS PRINCE CHARMING*
Oh sir! I have a Princess for you to save!
*CHARMING PERKS UP* Snow?!! I've been wondering where she ran off too.
Uh, No. Megs....
*PRINCE CHARMING MUTTERS IN DISGUST* Why does everyone think I can rescue every little princess just because I woke Snow? She doesn't even want to BE with me anymore. She ran off somewhere because she hates me apparently. Or some other reason...Sorry, but I can't help you if my true love can't help me.
*NOT SURE WHAT IS GOING ON* Uh, but sir, I forgot to tell you her last name is White? Megs White?
*HOPES HER TACTIC WILL WORK*
*HOPES HER TACTIC WILL WORK*
*PRINCE PERKS UP AGAIN* You say she's a White? Well I'll take ANY WHITE if Snow won't have me! Lead On.
*SO THEY SET OFF TO FIND MEGS WHITE*
*MEANWHILE, IN THE MAGICAL FOREST*
"Do you think we should wake her?" "No, she looks like she's sleeping peacefully. What a dramatic place to fall asleep, though. Rather close to the water."
*SAYS A RABBIT AND A SQUIRREL*
"Are you sure we shouldn't wake her?" "Yes."
*RABBIT AND SQUIRREL HOP OFF INTO THE SUNSET*
*ENTER INKS AND PRINCE CHARMING*
"Is that her?" "Yes, that is the fair princess Megs White."
*AS INKS SNICKERS, CHARMING UNSUCCESSFULLY TRIES TO WAKE MEGS*
"She's not waking! I've tried everything. Are you sure that she's a White?"
*INKS PANICS, BUT MANAGED TO KEEP A COOL FACE*
"Very sure. She once told me that she lives down the road from a White. That's the same thing, right?"
*PRINCE CHARMING NODS HIS AGREEMENT*
"Yes, I suppose it is. But how am I supposed to wake her?" "Didn't you kiss Snow? Try that." "Well, yes, but Snow was in a glass case. NOT on the DIRTY GROUND!"
*NOW INKS IS REALLY SNICKERING, BUT SOFTLY*
"You're a prince, right? I don't have to find somebody better to wake her? LIKE A DWARF?" "NO! I can do it...just don't get a dwarf! They're still mad at me for taking Snow." "I doubt they are now." "Wait, what?" "Never mind, Charming. Just wake Megs."
*I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT SNOW RAN OFF WITH A DWARF*
"Do it already." "Okay, but I don't want to get my tunic dirty!" "Be a man already, Charming!" *pushes Charming down*
*WHY WON'T HE DO IT ALREADY? ASKS INKS TO HERSELF*
"Now my tunic is dirty! You'll be paying for dry cleaning!" "Get it over with already, I want to explore this forest. With Megs, and not you. You're annoying."
*CHARMING KISSES MEGS*
*MEGS WAKES UP, SCREAMS, AND PROMPTLY PUSHES CHARMING OFF OF HER AND INTO THE WATER*
"Inks! What are you doing here? And who is that creeper? He tastes like Cheetos! Do you have mouth wash?" "I came to save you! That's Prince Charming, and he is SO ANNOYING. Let's go before he makes us play his dry cleaning bill." "Okay, let's go! But seriously. Do you have mouthwash?" "We'll just pick up some watercress along the way, Megs."
*THEY RIDE OFF INTO THE SUNSET HAVING SHIRKED LAME PRINCE TO FIND BETTER MEN*
The end for now.
