READ THAT BOOK NOW! YOU STILL HAVE TIME BEFORE THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT!
The author David Anthony Durham wrote me an email in response to some questions I asked him!!
Chloé, (Look he got the accent on my name and everything!)
Hello. (Very polite!)
Thanks for writing. I don't know that I'm worthy of your love, but I'm glad to receive it anyway. Nor do I really think there are zero flaws in Acacia or in my depiction of sibling relationships, but... what's a flaw anyway? People are their flaws as much as they are their virtues. In any event, the fact that you got so much out of the book means that you brought a lot to it. Thank you for that. (Insightful - I like it)
But, before I digress too much. I have to say that I can't really answer your queries right now. I'm literally in an empty house in California and I'm driving to Massachusetts tomorrow morning. 3,000 miles. Kinda big move. Five days of ten hour drives, that sort of thing. I'll blog about it a bit: HERE. (Personally the fact he responded at all was amazing! I was close to tears with the euphoria! Such an amazing writer!)
But I'll happily respond to your questions when I can. Just give me some time... (That means he'll e-mail me again right?)
Best,
David.

So, that's my touch excitement after a long day! I may try e-mailing Kristen Cashore author of Graceling! She's awesome!
Guess what I've done today? Apart from received awesome emails? I have trained! Woo I have came home with like 6 certificates get me:
Infection Control
COSHH
Fire Safety 1: Hazards and Prevention
Fire Safety 2: Drills and Evacuation
Food Hygiene in the Care Home
Health and Safety in the Care Home
I had to watch a DVD for each and every one of them and it bored me to the point I nearly dropped off, infact, I may have actually fell asleep!! Good thing they left me in the training room on my own otherwise i may have got sacked there and then!
Got my new phone a LG KS360. It's pretty awesome at the moment, no complaints. My finger nails are too long to work with the keypad but thats a PICNIC - as my dad would say (Problem In Chair Not In Computer) Unlimited texts at long last my dears!
Hmmm. thats been it! I'm planning a suprise for my American Lover Ryan cause he can't visit this summer! He's gone off to graduate though so lots of love to him 'cause he's cool and we should all praise him.
Squid is spewing allover the Twilight soundtrack despite not having seen the film yet, I have pre-warned him about the twirly camera movements that make you feel like your on a rollercoaster. Theyre very annoying in my books, good film though - kind of.
So, that's it I think! Music on at the momento? Yes yes, a bit of 'On Call' - Kings of Leon. This was THE song that made me fall in love with KOL. I was sitting in my room, doing my hair for school (putting a brush through it then roughing it up with some wax, a fake out of bed look, get the idea? takes hours to do because actually leaving my hair as it is when i get out of bed is just scrubby and embarrassing!) and then it comes on MTV2, suddenly, I'm attracted! This god of a song is making me feel all lovely inside like good music should do. It's a classic! LOVE IT!
<--- That's what I'm excited for right now and Harry Potter 6 OF COURSE!!WEASLEY IS OUR KING!
Quote of the day has to go to David Anthony Durham!
"People are their flaws as much as they are their virtues." - David Anthony Durham! Do insightful! and he e-mailed that directly to me! So no Squid...not a generic e-mail! Gosh, I'm actually getting all hyperventilating again! I'm so exciting! Great man I'd say!
