The Creative Imaginings of Lindsey

Chapter 7

2008-08-24T19:15:00.003-05:00

Yay for Chapter 7! I don't have profiles/pictures to go along with this one because I don't have anymore completely finished, but if there are any in particular your want to hear about, just let me know.

On the other hand, I have been watching the Olympics. ^_^ Sadly, it's all over. But it was lots of fun to watch! Michael Phelps is my heeeeerroooo. He's M-azing, and part god I think. But that's really beside the point. I just really like the Olympics and everything they are and stand for. It's such a fun time, even if it does keep me from doing anyof my homework for two weeks at a time.

Chapter 6 (and 5... ish)

2008-08-03T16:02:00.007-05:00

I just posted chapter 6! And I actually posted chapter 5 a really long time ago, but I never got around to updating this. Chapter 6 is the beginning of the actual plot of the book instead of just the set up (I know, five chapters for the set up, wtf is wrong with me), and it's a pretty fun chapter besides. Pluuussss, you meet Briley. Who is my favorite gossip ever.

That being said, I'm going to give you three profiles today instead of the usual two. One of them is one of our favorite playboys and the other two is the other set of twins in my story (I affectionately refer to them as the Civil War twins because of their names). Sooo...

Hunter
Full Name: Hunter Anthony Wellings
Birthday: April 2nd
Age: 17
Likes: sports, girls (especially cheerleaders, even though neither one of his sports have them), action movies, rap music, fast cars
Dislikes: being turned down/slapped (funny story…), crying girls, speeding tickets
Actor Explanation: Okay, this is where it gets a little embarrassing. Anyone that's seen Step Up 2 will get this, but Robert Hoffman looks very... nice. Especially without a shirt on. :) And because Hunter is supposed to be a total playboy, this makes sense. Hoffman's character in Step Up 2 (and I can't believe I'm admitting to have seen it) is cute and arrogant at the same time. That's what I want for Hunter. So... ta-da!

Grant
Full Name: Grant Meade Sumter
Birthday: March 27th
Age: 17
Likes: hockey, sports, girls, flirty with really cute girls, (spicy) buffalo wings, Hooters (as in the restaurant, but the other is good too), hip-hop, making fun of the soccer players
Dislikes: school, homework, Chinese food

Forrest
Full Name: Lee Forrest Sumter
Birthday: March 27th
Age: 17
Likes: hockey, sports, science, good classic rock, hanging out with his brother
Dislikes: rap, hip-hop, tomatoes, English, loud parties, alcohol

Name Explanations: I'm a total history nerd. Like to an extreme. I'm not sure where I can up with this idea (and no, it wasn't from Forrest Gump, because I hadn't even seen that movie when I named these boys), but it really amused me to no end. In case you haven't made the connection (and I wouldn't blame you, because it really is random), here's the explanations. Fort Sumter is where the Civil War began. Grant and Lee were the major generals on either side of the war. Meade and Forrest were both smaller officers for the Union and the Confederacy respectively.

Chapter 4

2008-06-22T18:03:00.009-05:00

Chapter 4 is now up. Actually, it's been up for a couple of days, but I'm really bad at updating these things (as previously mentioned). Besides, this thing is more for my own needs than for other people because as of right now no one seems to be looking at it (and why would you? The story itself is all you need!).

I decided to post more profiles for my characters. Also, I think I have actors/actresses in my head for some of them. Ironically enough, the twins are the only ones I'm having a really difficult time pinning down. Do you know how hard it is to find a famous female teenager with black hair and green eyes? Just black hair would be good if she fit the personality look. I'm having much difficulties. But I have Alex and Allie figured out (I do believe), and since those are the profiles I'm posting now, those are the only ones that I need to worry about specifically at this moment in time.

Allie
Full Name: Allison Maria Freck
Birthday: January 10th
Age: 17
Likes: lacrosse, large groups, parties (preferably without alcohol, thank you very much), shopping, chocolate

Dislikes: silence, indy music, football, history class

Actress Explanation: Emma Watson has the hair color I needed for Allie. She also has a certain style about her (in this picture in particular) that makes me think of Allie. She just has this kind of sweet and cute look about her that fits perfectly.

Alex
Full Name: Alexander Brendan Wood
Birthday: October 23rd
Age: 17
Likes: windy days, hockey, boats, sports in general, jelly beans, reading (sometimes)
Dislikes: rain, any kind of foreign language (learning it, that is), early mornings

Actor Explanation: James Marsden is this kind of dorky cute that makes me think of Alex. I was watching 27 Dresses, and I just realized in the middle of the movie that he is the perfect Alex. This picture is too adoreable to pass up. Just imagine with hazel eye instead of blue ones.

Chapter 3

2008-05-20T15:12:00.002-05:00

So I just posted chapter 3. Huzzah! I did it now mostly to get my mind off of exams (which I definitely should be studying for right now...) and I'm sitting on a couple of chapters anyway, so why not?

Anywho, my beta Stylo made me make a profile for all of the characters so that I could prove that I know who they are and what they look like. I decided to post these profiles a couple at a time just for your entertainment and my own amusement. Today, we'll start with the twins.

Lily
Full Name: Liliana Neila Fawkes
Birthday: August 20th
Age: 17
Likes: soccer, books/reading, spaghetti, running, outwitting her brothers, history
Dislikes: thunderstorms, Sara Meacham, Chris Blackwell, bad drivers and traffic, math

Jim
Full Name: James Ronan Fawkes
Birthday: August 20th
Age: 17
Likes: rock/British indy music, soccer, teasing his sister, Mexican food, goofing off with the guys
Dislikes: anyone who tries to hurt his sister, basketball, Lily’s driving, homework, chick flicks

Chapter 2

2008-05-06T20:33:00.000-05:00

So I just posted chapter 2. Hurray!

In case you are looking at the chapter titles and asking yourself where I come up with these things, they're mostly based on commonly used cliched phrases that we say every day (oh, dear, repetitive much?). The beginning of the end, like stealing candy from a baby, etc. And no, 'boys are gross' isn't really a cliche in the same sense as the others, but it's still a pretty common phrase. Besides, it fits the chapter. ^_^

A Beginning

2008-04-29T22:32:00.000-05:00

So this is the beginning of my blog for my stories. I always fail at these (pathetically) so hopefully this one will last a little longer. It should eventually hold all of the information for all of my stories, but for now it's primarily for Grasping at Straws.

So yes. Welcome to my blog, for however long I manage to keep up with it and/or update it.
